"Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
“I know not why the shorter lived races of this world throw themselves about the wilds. The lord protects us within the walls of our blessed city. One is forced to conclude that they devalue their short lives. The greatest offender is the dwarfs of Albania not content with the dangers of the wilds they dig ever deeper into the Eth’s underground facing untold dangers. So far from the light of the lord surely this must be the greatest of heresies.”
-From the Journal of High Imperial Priest of Oston, Elisistra in the year of our lord 604
Year 804 AC April 8th
From different areas and different lives fate has bound you together on a journey to the city of New Orcus. From Merryburg you were hired on to guard a merchant caravan lead by a particularly fat Halfling named Vaul who is bringing a small shipment of food to the city of New Orcus. A small caravan of two carts and five other guards. You have been assigned to rear guard. You have come to know Vaul as a relaxed and fair employer, but tight with the purse and a constant business man. The journey has been very quiet, You are traveling south and have just entered into the deep forest of Camary where no light pierces the canopy of the woods. The expected arrival time to New Orcus is 2 days and everybody’s nerves are on edge or bored from lack of action.Last edited by Stormageddon; 2013-04-12 at 02:08 AM.

Tysalat
Tysalat walks along with the caravan admiring the wonders of the deep forest. As a precaution he has cast light on his bastard sword, but has it sheathed so that he can see the forest as is it.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Maechus Satella definitely fell under the "bored from lack of action" camp. As happy as he was to actually have work available, what with the remains of his savings already depleted just trying to get to Merryburg, caravan duty was just plain dull. At least they were headed to someplace exciting. New Orcus was one of the biggest cities he knew about; if ever there was a place where he could properly research swordplay, it would be there.
So, as it was, Maechus contented himself as always with marching along in back, his shield strapped to one arm and his trusty book of fencing in his other hand. Idly he flipped through the pages with his thumb, poring over the information for what had to be the third time this trip. Every now and then, he would tear his eyes off of the book to scan the horizon.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Kona fidgeted as she walked, her head swinging around to see in every direction and occasionally glancing down to her hands to ensure they remained free of her sleeves. She had certainly been in danger before and had helped to defend the farm now and again, but being directly responsible for so many people was a new feeling for her, and even with these others around to share the burden she was not finding it an enjoyable one.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Rupert strummed his mandolin as he walked along, glancing about occasionally at the forest. As it grew dimmer, he stooped and picked up three pebbles. Murmuring a cantrip over each, he kindled a light in them, and tucked them into his pocket. Finally, he cast Light on his Mandolin, illuminating the area around him.
"So, friend," he said, turning to the nervous-looking woman, "Why are you bound for New Orcus?"

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain strolled along oblivious to the world around him, puzzling over a new strain of mutagen he was attempting to perfect. While he walked he absent-mindedly tossed a dagger from one hand to another. Upon his shoulder perched the cat Tybalt, who lazily surveyed the surrounding forests. Caelain had joined the caravan to get to the border with more protection that would have been possible alone, hoping to pursue his goals there.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
The loud hiss of the cat is heard by everyone.

Kona flinches slightly as the unexpected speech interrupts her vigil but recovers quickly and turns to the man with a smile.

The girl's speech is then interrupted by Tybalt's hiss and she scans her surroundings for the reason for the cat's warning.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Maechus looked up from his book with an expression somewhere between "What?" and "Oh, now what?" "Ah, what's the matter, kitty? Somebody step on your tail?"
With a sigh, Maechus stowed away his book and leaned down to look under the cart as he walked. "It's all right, Mister Tiddles," he said, completely forgetting the cat's actual name. "Nothing out here's gonna hurt you. Ain't that right, guys?" He smiled a smile that he fancied might be reassuring to cats, though he had no practical experience trying to do so.Totally awesome avatar by Cuthalion.

"I'm not so certain. I believe I saw something in the woods," Rupert said. He put his mandolin into his backpack, and uncoiled the whip from his hip. "And as Mother Hawkins was want to say, a cautions is better taken unneeded than needed untaken."

Tysalat
Tysalat snaps to alertness when he hears the cat hiss, more thinking the cat is being attacked than anything.
After hearing Ruperts comment he focuses his attention in the direction he cat is looking and draws his sword it's shining light illuminating the area.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain stumbles back cursing under his breath as Tybalt streaks towards the cart, nearly stabbing himself in the process. After picking up his knife from the ground he turns to the other guards. It may be prudent of us to exercise caution. It seems unlikely that Tybalt's reaction was due to a benevolent creature.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain directs his attention towards Tysalat, and replies in a slightly irritated tone: The first time he did something like this I thought much the same, and then I was beset by a pack of undead. And what do you mean by that anyway? "More than a cat", any creature superior to a cat would have to be truly extraordinary; it might even be called into question whether such a being exists.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Several tense seconds pass by of deadly silence pass only to be interrupted by a cry of "SQUEEEE!"
Hell breaks loss in the caravan. You see in the front of the caravan a guard goes down with his face smash in by a rock. Another is hit in the back of the head and falls over.
One bullet comes speeding at each of you.

Tysalat
Tysalat glances towards Caelain momentarily and back to the woods.
Cats are indeed amazing creatures and I meant no slight, but I imagine he has acted that way around far less threatening things as well.
As to more than a cat I mean as in a mage's familiar.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Maechus' efforts to lull the cat out of hiding fell on deaf ears, and the momentary distraction was enough. Before he was even aware that the caravan was under attack he recoiled as a pellet of gas hit him square in the jaw. In his shock and panic, he inhaled, unable to recognize the exact nature of the attack, or the consequences of doing so.
Quickly, Maechus took a step back, his hand on his sword. "Ambu-gah!" He was suddenly struck by the vapor's noxious effects, and his hand just as quickly moved to his stomach. "Wha...? Warden preserve... ugh..."Totally awesome avatar by Cuthalion.

Rupert cursed under his breath in Dwarven as a bullet whirred close by his head. "My scaly little friends, I don't know what's provoked this attack, but I'm afraid you've made rather a mistake."
The hand not holding the whip dipped into a pouch on Rupert's belt and came out clutching a handful of fine sand. Incanting in a calm, soothing voice, Rupert blew the sand in the direction of the scaly creature coming out of the bush accompanied by the rat.
SpoilerSleep spell, 10 foot burst, affects up to 4 HD of creatures starting with the lowest amount of hit dice, Will negates, DC 15. If the rat and the kobold have equal hit dice, it will be placed so it hits the Kobold first, if possible.

Rupert let out a small exclamation of pain as the creature's teeth sank into the unprotected flesh of his leg. "Get back, you wretched beast!" He cautiously took a step back, without lowering his guard lest the rat strike at him again. Then, he snapped the whip in the air near the vermin's head, trying to drive it back and discourage it from further attacks.
