Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Reprise, IC03

[Leif]

Into the Gaskar Hills

The wizards angle a bit to the southeast as they continue, and this brings them to a stream that flows northward into the Quail River. Following this stream, they soon begin to encounter the Gaskar Hills proper, about ten miles south of the river.

Tylara

With a pat on her feathered head, Thel, is once more asked to fly forth in search of signs of orcs or other trouble. "Perhaps your chatty friend will join you again."

 

[Leif]

The Gaskar Hills

Thel takes wing again, presumably again accompanied by Mike? The wizards have now entered the Gaskar Hills proper, being about ten miles south of the Quail River. There is a lightly-traveled path alongside the stream you are following, but no fresh signs of passage. After the wizards trek about ten miles further into the Gaskar Hills, the birds come back again, and they appear somewhat excitable now. Looking to the east, the wizards can see a thin wisp of smoke rising from a point about five miles distant.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: What time of day is it?

 

[Leif]

Mid-afternoon. 3-ish?

 

[Lou]

Francheska Walova

After being silent for longer than anyone can remember, Francheska points towards the tendril of smoke, "Any chance that's an inn? I could really use a couple of pints of ale about now. My feet are killing me. At least we finally found a path back there."

 

[Leif]

Heh, maybe Francheska is right?

 

[KerlanRayne]

After being silent for longer than anyone can remember, Francheska points towards the tendril of smoke, "Any chance that's an inn? I could really use a couple of pints of ale about now. My feet are killing me. At least we finally found a path back there."

Kerlan thinks about it a moment. "I don't think there is any settlement out here or the brothers would probably have mentioned it. More likely it is either a campfire, or the orcs we have been looking for. Either way, we should probably investigate." Kerlan begins heading toward the smoke, making sure to get more info from the familiars before getting too close.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I too would guess a watch fire from the orcs", says capizzio.

"Yes, well perhaps if Mike goes out and checks it out he can tell us all about it? Although he lacks the speed of a certain creature, he can communicate to us his findings" Xavier says, grinning at his perceived victory in the battle of the avian familiars.
