"Perhaps at least some of us should leave the boat and approach the tents from the land. And Nargon could fly. You know, from land, water and air..." Girgal thinks aloud.

Around noon however you spot a tent ahead on shore.

OOC: Is it just a tent, or are there other signs of a camp? Any people or animals visible in the area? I think we should learn as much as we can before we go ashore , but, like W.D., I'm just stating my opinion.

"My power comes from the demonic blood of my forefathers, my half-bred heritage stems from orcish rape. Do either of those make ME evil?" Nargon defends Rajah as they continue on. "Power and magic aren't evil in themselves, only what you do with them. That in mind, Rajah, be mindful of your actions with this new servant of yours."
He also insists on either burning, burying, or some other way destroying/hiding the corpses, to make them harder to find.

When they see the tent, Nargon 'hrrrms', looking around. "I'd like to get an aerial view, but at this time of day would be seen for miles.. I don't suppose anybody could make me invisible for a few moments so I can scout the situation out?"

All that you can see from the raft is a tent.

"Ok, Girgal, I'll go with you to approach from on land, anyone else coming with us?"

"Well, don't everyone speak up at once! Sheesh, fine then, Girgal and I will do it. OOC: Still, Bevin has no intention of getting more than about 30 or 40 yards ahead of the main body.

"Fine, we three than. Ripclaw will come with us."

"We don't want to make him think that we are trying to sneak up on him, do we?

If Girgal agrees, then Bevin will be sure to make plenty of noise as they approach. How big is he, anyway? Can we determine his race and gender? What else can we see about him?

 

[kinem]

Bevin and Girgal (mounted on Ripclaw) approach the tent, making sure to be heard by stomping their feet.

Six men pour out of the large tent. They are wearing chain shirts and longswords. They appear sunburnt and nervous, but they stand straight, trying to appear as professional soldiers. They are light-skinned men, not appearing to be desert nomads.

"Who do you serve?" demands one of the men.

 

[Rhun]

Sorry, been in Vegas...I posted an absent notice in talking the talk.

"I too will go, if you think it prudent. But one of us should remain behind to guard the boat."
