Masters of the Wild IC

"Yeah, I could use a moment to pack up, but otherwise I'm ready to go. Three days by foot, right?" Tek asked as he scratched a diagram into the clay of the table. "I could probably make it in two, flying." He looked to the Warden and those others gathered around the table. "But that's probably a bad idea, isn't it? Showing up a day early might alert the cultists to something, and I can't track 'em all down on my own."

[sandmote]

"Probably best to travel together." Elmir finishes his tea, and gathers himself.

[Diceomancer]

"All right then." Glim gets up to go pack.

[Rogue227]

Faye lingers a bit longer, pondering, while some of her companions are already taking their leave. The seriousness of Zavvix' words weighs heavy on her. Also, there was something disturbing in Ravenor's determination. Am I taking things too easy? One of her old master's counsels back at the monastery comes to her mind: 'Learn to listen. There are those who have seen things you are yet to see. Take heed of their words.' „I will.“ she mumbles to herself, her head bowed.

As she looks up again, adventurousness and confidence have returned to her face. „My lord Warden, at your service.“ With these words, she takes her leave from the Inner Sanctum. There's two hours to get ready for another journey.

[MintyNinja]

Once he notices that people are leaving to pack up their belongings Tek stands from his seat, inclines his head to the Warden, and heads off to do the same. All the while he sifts through the conversation to try and get an idea of the others set on this task.

I haven't anymore questions. Ready to roll.

[Tekrow]

"I'm ready when you all are." Ravenor says as he starts to head out.

[SunderedWorldDM]

You all go to your small quarters within the temple to gather your belongings, preparing for travel. You all meet in one of the many large rooms inlaid with green stone providing leave from the temple. One of you procures the map Zavvix provided as you stride out of the massive doors and into the vast and beautiful forest.

What is everyone doing on the first day of travel?

[MintyNinja]

During the first day of travel Tek volunteers to scout out above the treetops. While it's an excuse to get some wind in his wings, he really does scout out landmarks and compare their progress to the map they were provided with. Part way through the day he returns with a sack of berries and fruits that he knows to be edible and shares them out.

[Illven]

Rebecca for her part will try striking up causal conversation and keep an eye out for anything dangerous.

[Rogue227]

Faye enjoys conversation with everone who's up to it. Usually travelling by herself, she's quite happy about having others around and getting to know her new companions better.

Also, she's still thrilled with the Vipernoss and its wonders and absorbs the impressions of the surroundings. Maybe, she'll even find some edible plants or mushrooms by looking around.

Caspar keeps among the group as well, conversing with anyone to pass the time, usually by regaling stories he had in his retinue. Most of them the sort heard in less-expensive taverns and places of similar reputation. Not the material he would perform in better company. Whenever no one speaks to him, he simply watches the landscape move by around them, and occasionally practices his pan flute. Walking while playing often made his tones uneven, a skill that he found could easily be trained while on the road.

[SunderedWorldDM]

After a day of travel as the light shines down on you, Tek notices from the top of the canopy that the skies are beginning to cloud. You decide to camp down for the day in a small grove as the rain begins to pound down.

As you set a small campfire, I would like you to decide who will take first watch and make a perception check.

[sandmote]

At the first mention of the night's watch, Elmir perks up. "I'll take whatever time is left over," is his immediate position on the matter.

I will take second watch. Rebecca offered.

[MintyNinja]

"Then I'll take first watch," Tek responds to the others. He was a little too excited to sleep just yet anyway and he had a good eye for movement.

[Rogue227]

"Fine. And I'll take last watch. I'm up early anyway."

Dunno why I did the minus 1 lol, it would actually be +2, for a total of 10. My bad.

[WhismurWanders]

"It sounds like third watch will be mine."

[SunderedWorldDM]

As you bed down amidst the pattering of the rain and darkening of the sky, you rest and settle until all but but Tek are sound asleep. Amidst the sounds of thunder, Tek keeps careful watch, keeping eagle eyes pointed towards the darkened wood.

In the deep evening, the rain intensifies a bit as Tek rouses Rebecca from an odd dream about walking through a forest hearing laughter echoing all around. She tries to stay alert, but keeps dozing and getting distracted. Despite her poor watch, nothing sniffs around the campsite.

Elmir emerges from his trance as the half-asleep Becca taps him on the shoulder before falling into her bedroll. As the rain drums on the canopy, Elmir's eyes pierce the darkness. He keeps a careful watch until the surroundings take on the indigo glow of the rising sun. He creeps over to Faye, who leaps to attention and takes the final watch until the sun's golden crest advances over the horizon and the rain slows to a drizzle. Faye wakes you up as you all prepare for today's travel.

What are you doing on this more dreary day of travel?9

[sandmote]

Elmir continues on as before. The main difference this day is that he has raised the stump of a leathery wing from under the pelt, shielding himself from the rain with it.

[Illven]

Rebecca will continue trying to keep an eye out.

Caspar keeps an eye open for anything that can be quickly foraged without slowing down the group. Every morsel could save them time and energy later.

Glim plods along, noting anything interesting in the landscape or wildlife.

[Rogue227]

Faye walked along, her hood pulled down low over her face against the rain. She peered forth from under it, observing her surroundings. With the rain continuing, she would prefer a dry place to sleep tonight. Maybe they could find a small cave or a woodman's hut nearby.

The second day passes uneventfully, the pitter patter of soft rain against the leaves providing a pleasant backdrop to your travels. About mid-afternoon the sun emerges from the cloud cover, blanketing the world in a white glow before it begins to set.

As evening comes and the sun sets, Faye spots a small cave, warm and dry inside. It's barely enough to fit all of you, but at least you won't sleep on a wet blanket of leaves. As you light a small fire to cook your evening meal on, you discuss rests again. Will you be taking the same order of watches or different ones?

[MintyNinja]

"I'll take the fourth watch this time around, I don't see too well in the dark," Tek offers when the conversation comes up. It was the truth, but he was also more tired than he wanted to admit after only two days of travel. It had been a while since he'd left the Temple of Harmony.
