    The Man accepts the horses and attacheed them to the back of the wagon. He nodded another 'thank you' and kicked the wagon into gear and the horses began to pull it.

    You stand alone, surrounded by bloody dead bodes of lizardmen and the others have seemed to wander off. (Etsia and Fistar)

    Fistar

    Fistar was fiddling with his pack, making sure things were in place, when he heard the question from the wild elf. The wood elf shrugged at Etsia, "The only stuff I have is my own, " he smiled at her, "...but your welcome to look in my pack if you don't believe me, " he grinned. He was pretty sure no one knew what was in his pack or Boone's pack to begin with. so didn't see any harm for to see what the pack contain. Still within his pocket, he still had one of the vials plus an ink vial.

    Etsia

    Etsia shook her head. There was no point in looking in anyone's bags, since she didn't know what had been there in the first place. "Alright then. I'll bring the man's bags to Jessame-en." She nodded, brought the horses to the bags and attached them to Ghost's saddle, then nodded at Fistar again.

    "There is still one, possibly two horses at loose." She commented offhandedly, then led the horses back to the group. She gave the reins of Ghost to Jessame-en with a smile and a nod toward Boone's saddlebags, then the reins of the horse the drow had used to Zarraema with another smile. Then she patted Elmshadow on the neck. "Stay here, I'll look for the other horses."

    Without bothering to attach him anywhere and trusting the horse would stay with the others, she headed back to the horse who had been too dubious to be caught earlier.

    If James somehow got the horses while Etsia was fetching their own, disregard the rolls. If he didn't, we have two horses extra. And it's not in Etsia's nature to leave horses behind any more than we would leave people behind, so back for the runaway horses she goes!

    Horse 1:

    Edit: Well, she found the tracks of the runaway fourth horse, but failed to catch either, so... roll-fest to determine how long it takes for her to catch them!

    It was not difficult to find the fourth runaway horse, but it took some time to soothe it and its earlier skittish companion. Eventually the little druid managed, though, and both horses followed her to the other adventurers, munching dried fruit in a content manner.

    She went straight to Elmshadow to pet him, then looked at the tall woman seriously. "We have two extra horses now. Can't leave them here, they'd get hurt."

    Jessamyn

    The paladin accepted the reins of Ghost from Etsia, giving the druid a slight nod. She had more or less forgotten Boone's saddlebags; with the reminder, the tense look on her face only firmed, and she gave a faint sigh.

    Having seen the wagon and the survivors off, she finally managed to loosen her grip on the sword, wipe it down and slide it back into its sheath, though she did not tie it in tightly and kept her gaze on the jungle.

    She nodded slightly, hearing Etsia's comment. "We were short one horse as it was, I think," she said quietly. "Make sure everyone is mounted. We can bring along the spare, I'm sure there is enough to graze on in there, and we might need it..."

    Etsia nodded and brought one of the horses to Kelzir, giving him the reins. "You should ride, too. Faster and better rested in battle." She nodded and patted him on the arm, then gave the reins of Elmshadow to Jessamyn. "Keep him here for a bit in case he wants to follow. I'll see if I can find the tracks." She glanced at the two extra horses and sighed. "...should probably tie their reins to follow us so they don't run off all silly-like again..."

    She let the others decide which horse to attach to which mount and instead walked slowly through the battle field, trying to find the tracks of the lizardman who rushed into the jungle with the baby.

    Zarraema:

    She smiled faintly as Kelzir's minor wound closed partially, leaving a thin, but closed wound. Once the spell completed, she cast it again, using her connection to the Moon Dancer to call upon the healing powers. She then replaced her sword and began to peer at the surroundings.

    Searching for anyone or anything that might need her attention, most notably, the still-injured, she toed at some of the lizardman remains and generally wandered around the area.

    Etsia's offer of a horse to Kelzir brought a thin, private smile to her face. He would finally be able to ride; perhaps the sun would not have such a wearying affect on either of them tomorrow.

    He bowed deeply, twice, once to his Mistress for her ministration. The second to the tiny elf that handed him reigns. It seemed that the chaos was over for now, but the paladin was going to be determined to go after the child.

    "It is not my place to ride, but it will do Mistress well to have another to use, should she need it."

    He glanced around, surveying the carnage, trying to determined if anything was worth salvaging. To leave anything behind that was useful would be foolish on their part.

    The rogue picked up his pack and then grabbed the riegns of his horse, turning around he went to follow the other group. Stopping here and there he did a brief check on the bloody corpses littering the ground. He noticed that the wild elf was already studying the tracks with a determined look.
    With a sigh, as he realized that they would be going after the baby instead of going to where the map led them, he said, "Well, lets get on with it, the sooner we find this baby, the sooner we can get back to looking for treasure, " then looking at Etsia, "I hope your good at tracking..."

    Etsia finds the final horses and then begins searching for the tracks. She found them easily enough, as most of the prints show the lizardmen were carrying heavy loads, which made their prints deeper. Following the basic direction of the prints is not going to be a problem, and you can actually track them from horseback, seeing as they were fleeing pretty fast, they weren't trying to cover their tracks. (broken branches, turned over logs, bent aside grass etc..)The trail heads westward into the jungle.

    Zarraema finished healing Kelzir and then walked around the field of battle. She spotted that the druid had returned from somewhere with two more horses and she spotted that Kelzir did indeed take the horse offered to him.

    Kelzir took the horse and began to search the field, looking for any items of value or use. One of the lizardman was carrying a small satchel, that Kelzir found when he moved the body. The bag was underneath the lizard. Inside is a strange stone, with a leather cord, almost like a necklace. A Small lantern with many many inscriptions on it (in drow), a set of two daggers, and a small rolled up cloak.


    Fistar began to search through the corpses. He began noticing that they only wore a loincloth made from filthy leather (probably human skin) and just a pouch on their hip. After looting the pouches, you collect 23 silver and 34 copper. One of the lizardmen had a strange cube of polished black obsidian the size of your first thumb knuckle.

    Etsia

    Etsia nodded a little to herself, and then glanced up at the parrot boy at his comment, green eyes steady and calm. "I can track." There was no need to boast: insecurity of ones skills and position in the tribe was for the cubs. She could track. Whether it would be good enough or not remained to be seen -- and proved.

    She made her way back to the others. She paused to pick up the stones she had used in the battle, wiped them clean on the grass and placed them back in the slingstone pouch.

    She leaped enough to grab Elmshadow's saddle and pull herself up. She gave a nod to the tall woman. "The tracks are very clear. We can follow them on horseback for now."

    Elystria

    This was excellent... these were real adventurers, not just merchants. Her chance of ending up in some arcane ruins or finding magical tomes was definitely increasing. And certainly her magic would be of use... she decided after a brief glance around that they were at best familiar with healing and probably not much other real magic.

    Elystria glanced over at the only stumbling block to her joining the group, which was grazing and completely ignoring the tugs she periodically gave to its reins. She tried another pull... glared at the horse, and then shifted her look to the saddle and stirrups, which she eyed dubiously. If only she had learned how to ride...

    Jessamyn

    The paladin swung into Ghost's saddle and looked around at her assembled -- and newly grown -- collection of companions. She inclined her head to the drow, addressing them.

    "I apologize that we are turning aside from our intended destination for now. I only think that it will not run away in our absence, while the baby's situation may soon slip through our grasp. I can not let that happen, and I hope we are agreed.

    "When we are all ready, Etsia should lead..."


    Thinking about what might await them in the forest, Jessamyn leaned back in her saddle to undo the straps that held her shield against Ghost's side. She also loosed the warhammer from its place on her belt. Though she vastly preferred the greatsword, it would prove awkward should she have to swing it from horseback, and just as cumbersome should the trees thicken once they were within the jungle. The long blade could sit in its sheath for now.

    Elystria

    The young elf sighed. If only she knew a spell for this... why were horses so tall? She kept a grip on the reins and moved to stand next to the horse, working out the problem in her mind. When the armored woman swung herself up onto her horse she had put her foot so... Elystria copied as best she could... and hand on that knob thing and then...

    If anyone had wondered what an elf looked like when being completely graceless, they had only to look at Elystria as she tried to seat herself with the horse shifting and the saddle sliding and her robes and staff hampering the entire effort. With an undignified grunt, she made it into the seat and bounced on the opposite stirrup for a moment to right the saddle before settling in. She tugged futilely at her robes that had bunched up around her knees and sighed before attempting to regain some sort of poise.

    "Of course... and I am ready!" She fussed at her belongings with an irritated expression as something began to slide off from behind her. "Ahem. Lead on, warrioress!"

    He fingered the stone for a moment, debating any value it may have before placing it back in the pouch he'd taken it out of. The daggers he quietly strapped to either leg for convenient use, if needed. The small cloak he draped upon his shoulders, and secured to his armor to prevent it being grabbed and used to choke him. He carried the lantern to the lizard his thrown knife was sticking out of and tugged it free with a slight twist, ensuring the creature would never breathe again.

    Finally ready, he waited for the others to be prepared and moved over to stand with the reigns of the other horse in his hand near the one his Mistress rode. He glanced down at the incision that had been made in his armor when he'd negligently stepped in front of his Mistress' sword. Humming quietly, he recalled a simple spell, pulling the armor tight together again he drew his fingers over it causing it to be repaired.

    Mending: Minor repairs of an object.


    After this he waited, he examined the lantern, peering at the inscriptions he recognized and trying to determine from whence it had come. A drowish lantern intrigued him, as not even the darkest cave was enough to blind one of them. He thought there be some other purpose to it, and he wanted to determine what it may be before presenting the stone necklace and lantern to his Mistress for her dispensation.

    Finding no more than dead bodies, she wandered back to Kelzir's location with a faint smile.

    When the Paladin spoke, she bowed her head slightly, "Do what you feel is necessary. Agree with your decision or not, we set out together and shall continue together. I do doubt that the trail will be short or absent of risk."

    She lowered her voice, intending to address Kelzir as he inspected the Drow-marked lamp, "It's fortunate that you'll be riding now, as it seems we'll need to make haste."

    With that, she swung her leg over the saddle with a little more grace than the arcanist...but not by much; it wasn't as if the Underdark was filled with equines, after all.

    He ceased his inspection at the approach of his Mistress, stowing the lamp for future examination later. With ease, he lifted himself onto the back of the horse that Estia had handed him with a bow before hand. Settling easily in the saddle, he waited for the paladin to begin moving. He did, however, extend his arm with a bow of his head, the pouch with the stone offered to the drow woman next to him.

    Etsia glanced behind her to make sure all the horses were accounted for only to notice that the two extras were more or less standing free and grazing still. She hopped down from the saddle and after a moment's consideration, attached one's reins to Elystria's saddle. "They know each other already, stay calmer together as a small herd." She patted both horses, then attached the last one to Kelzir's saddle. After patting them as well she managed to climb back on Elmshadow's saddle and nudge him forward toward the tracks, following them into the jungle.

    The Drow priestess stared at the bag for a moment before gently taking it. Using the common tongue of the Underdark, she held the pouch without opening it and lowered her voice, "What is this, Kelzir?"

    She would never be afraid of anything her former slave handed her, but she was still cautious - knowing the bard as she had come to, she wondered if he would ever understand his own right to possession.

    He remained silent for a while, contemplating everything he'd seen and heard thus far. There were points that could be argued for both options at this point, leaving the surface dwellers to their own fate or remaining with them.

Our loud friend I do not believe should be trusted out of eye sight, but there is some heart there, though I only believe it to be for his own sake. I cannot speak of this new elven wizard, but she did stand and fight as well.

    We are as yet strangers in a strange land. And while our allies are not of our choosing, most seem to ignore what they know of us and judge from actions instead of skin. For now, I believe we are better off with them, than on our own."



    With that having been said, his deep voice quieted to silence. He raised his eyes to follow the others as he shifted in the saddle. The second horse tied to it nickered slightly, resulting in a gentle petting.

    She smiled softly at her former slave and leaned in her saddle to pat him on the knee. "Bel'la. Usstan qua'l"

    "Thank you (informal). I agree."


    With that, she fell in behind, beside or in front of Kelzir, depending on the terrain.

    You all set off, heading into the woods after the lizardmen and the lost baby. The trail is retardedly easy to follow. The lizardmen were running so fast, they didn't have time to cover their tracks or properly skulk through the underbrush or vines. Large sections of underbrush were trampled and protruding branches were cracked off from the escaping reptiles. The soft soil of the jungle floor makes it easy to see where the lizardmen kicked up the dirt in their running. You follow this trail about 20 minutes into the hot sweltering afternoon, until you come accross what looks like a small scuffle.

    A human male in rusty chainmail laid across the body of a lizardman, the human has three arrows protruding from his back and neck, shot from the front. When he fell down, they must have burst up and out through his back and neck. (shot from ahead) The man's shortswords lay not far from his lifeles hands. THe lizardman underneath him is missing an arm and a section of it's skull.

    Two more lizardmen lay around the area, obviously cut down from a pursuer. Some with their own weapons still in hand. The trail leads onward past the scene into the jungle further. Ahead, in the distance, through the open canopy of the jungle mangroves and palms, you can see a massive line of mountains, surrounded by foothills, poking out from the jungle. Probably five weeks hard ride to the West by North West. The lizardmen run due west.

    "Well you know, I don't think they came this way," the rogue chuckled and then with a more serious tone, "They can't be that far ahead. We should be aware of maybe an ambush." Fistar jumped off his horse and did a quick search of the bodies, ignoring the rusty weapons and seeing if any coin pouches are around.

    The little druid did not dismount while she watched the scene, then the tracks leading further to west. "I hope that whoever shot the arrows isn't there waiting. Could be a hidden guard." The long elven ears twitched as she tried to catch a sound, watching their surroundings, looking for any sign of ambush or trap.

    You search the bodies of the men and the lizardmen alike.

    You find nothing on the lizardmen as usual.
    on the one man, you find his belt pouch with 55 gold, and 13 silver. A small token shaped like a horse, and a iron key.
    On the second man, you find 3 small rubies,and 23 gold. THe first man has twin short swords, and the second used to wield a cutlass and dagger.
    Both have normal clothing and studded leather armor.
    You look over the bodies and find that the arrows embedded into the men, the wounds surrounding the protruding arrows...have turned a sickly green(poison) and smells of almonds.

    You listen and try to discern if the archers are still around. after a few moments you decide nothing remains behind and hear nothing more than the beautiful sounds of the jungle.

    Fistar frowned at noticing the poison on the arrows, "I recommend being careful they are using poison." he commented outloud. Taking belt pouch and other items he placed them into his saddlebag. At least this venture may have some profit after all he thought as he grin softly.

    ((add items to my player sheet, plus the gold.))
