Corren says: "Should we inform the magistrate of what we saw?"</div> <div> Missiledine: <You have a ways to go before you hit the road!:-D></div> <div> ElwingFD: "not sure, let's see what things look like back in town"</div> <div> Dukejr01: I was assuming no problems... :-)</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb will put the boy on his horse and then follow behind, watching the back trail</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. corren will trust him to cover any tracks if he feels it appropo</div> <div> Missiledine: the undergrowth here is fairly sparse, allowing you to make good time, but it leaves you </div> <div> Missiledine: feeling exposed</div> <div> Missiledine: you have been moving for about an hour when Rolb gives a quiet whistle and jogs up to you, </div> <div> Dukejr01: corren stops.</div> <div> Dukejr01: and crouchs.</div> <div> Missiledine: pointing backwards with his thumb</div> <div> Missiledine: Without a word Rolb grabs the boy, hauls him off the horse, grabs the horse's bridle and fore leg and</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren looks for a place to hide</div> <div> Missiledine: begins forcing it to the ground. "Get down." He hisses</div> <div> Dukejr01: Hide away</div> <div> ElwingFD: I drop down too</div> <div> Missiledine: it takes him a bit, but a few moments later he has the horse on the gropund and is lying across it's </div> <div> Missiledine: head so it can't get up</div> <div> Dukejr01: make sure the kid is hidden too</div> <div> Missiledine: A few minutes later you hear the sound of horses galloping</div> <div> Missiledine: you can see, further up the slope to your right, a group of maybe ten blue cloaked horsemen, led by a</div> <div> Missiledine: rider that seems to be all in black</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren frowns. </div> <div> Missiledine: they are headed west in a hurry, but they are looking about as they go</div> <div> ElwingFD: is that the way to town?</div> <div> Missiledine: after they have gone from sight and sound, Rolb lets the horse stand</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren shakes his head. "This is not good. What was that about? are there some Royal troops in league</div> <div> Dukejr01: witht eh pirates?"</div> <div> Missiledine: <GM note: Blue Cloaks and tunics are standard issue of the Royal Army></div> <div> Dukejr01: Maybe we should go to Drunmore nd havea chat with the Magistrate.</div> <div> ElwingFD: "I'm not liking this one bit, not one bit."</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb says, "Either way, we still hafta go west to get outta this bloody wood."</div> <div> Dukejr01: How far to Drunmore/</div> <div> Dukejr01: ?</div> <div> Missiledine: after you get out of the wood, maybe 15 miles due south on the Girvan - Drunmore Road</div> <div> ElwingFD: were they headed that way?</div> <div> Missiledine: maybe a bit less depending on where you come out</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> Missiledine: the Girvan-drunmore road runs north to south just after you exit the western edge of the forest</div> <div> ElwingFD: "alright, we need to find out what's going on, and before they get to Drunmore.  What say I fly there</div> <div> Dukejr01: "I think we should make for Drumore. I mislike this. I suspect that there is something deeper here.</div> <div> ElwingFD: and try to find out before you guys come in?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "they will beat us there"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "could you scout for those riders so we can avoid them?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "they are in gallop, they will be there before us, I'm afraid"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Betcha they got to Girvan, or maybe try to prevent us from getting to Girvan"</div> <div> ElwingFD: yep</div> <div> Dukejr01: Which is why we make for Drunmore</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb says, "What about that bugger they sent out earlier? What was that about? And remember, they </div> <div> Missiledine: expected to leave tonight. "</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Eitehr those are NOT Royal troops or we have corruption in their ranks."</div> <div> ElwingFD: remind me, who said that?</div> <div> Missiledine: The boy says, "The Hunchback said that my father was going to pay my ransom today."</div> <div> Missiledine: <The two guys you killed were talking before you did them></div> <div> Dukejr01: "I don;t understand it. We would all be safer in a town."</div> <div> ElwingFD: "but your father sent several search parties out to look for you...why?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: <yeah. but commandoes don;'t have time to stop and chat."</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb says, "I'd wager that those lads were going to co;;ect the ransom, before daddy finds out that</div> <div> Missiledine: the boy is free or dead."</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok, here's my plan....tell me if it works for you guys....I fly to town and find out what's going on</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren nods. "Lets follow them?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: before that posse arives...you guys travel there but hide in the area where our farm friends</div> <div> ElwingFD: were beaten up and I will meet you with news</div> <div> Dukejr01: Maybe you should fly to warn the boy's father</div> <div> ElwingFD: hows that?</div> <div> ElwingFD: "if he is in town, I can talk to him:</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb shrugs, "I suppose. That might work. Tell the father if you can."</div> <div> ElwingFD: are we all in agreement?</div> <div> Missiledine: "How fast can you get there?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: he has 15 men. enough to handle the troops you saw. I think you should try to locate the father </div> <div> Missiledine: "Rolb nods in agreement</div> <div> ElwingFD: <as fast as the gm allows, hawk flight></div> <div> Missiledine: ok, where exactly are you headed?</div> <div> ElwingFD: to Drunmore, the inn where the merchant was I guess, depending on what I see from above</div> <div> Dukejr01: <the troops we saw are likely heading directly to the father.</div> <div> Missiledine: he was in Girvan</div> <div> ElwingFD: I thought the town was Drunmore and the merchant was Girvan :-)</div> <div> Missiledine: no</div> <div> ElwingFD: so what is Drunmore?</div> <div> Missiledine: a big city to the south</div> <div> ElwingFD: oh...ok Girvan is where we all met right?</div> <div> Missiledine: right</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok then I fly there</div> <div> ElwingFD: that is where the troops were heading too?</div> <div> Missiledine: you don't know for sure</div> <div> ElwingFD: but that direction?</div> <div> Missiledine: due west is a north to south road. Girvan is to the north. Drunmore is south. </div> <div> Missiledine: once they reach that road, you have no idea</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok Girvan</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> ElwingFD: be quick to our meeting place</div> <div> Missiledine: you cast Hawk Flight, rise through the trees and head west and a bit north... a couple minutes into</div> <div> Missiledine: the flight you see movement down below, through the trees</div> <div> Missiledine: it is the blue cloaked riders and the black cloaked leader</div> <div> Missiledine: they are still headed west</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok, but arn't I heading north</div> <div> Missiledine: what?</div> <div> ElwingFD: isn't Girvan north?</div> <div> Missiledine: you are heading west and a bit north</div> <div> Missiledine: north west</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok so I shouldn't have seen the riders if they are heading due west</div> <div> Missiledine: no... they only passed by you a few minutes ago</div> <div> Missiledine: the riders are now well to your rear as you continue your flight</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok</div> <div> Missiledine: you continue skimming along, eating up the miles to Girvan... ahead, in the distance, you can see the</div> <div> Missiledine: edge of the forest</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok do I see anything down there?</div> <div> Missiledine: how many times will you recast this?</div> <div> ElwingFD: remind me how long it lasts</div> <div> Missiledine: 1 minute</div> <div> ElwingFD: how long have I been up?</div> <div> Missiledine: 8 to cast 4 to maintain</div> <div> Missiledine: guess</div> <div> ElwingFD: I figured at that rate of speed it would be quick</div> <div> Missiledine: you can keep recasting it</div> <div> ElwingFD: so how long have I been up?</div> <div> ElwingFD: more than 5 minutes?</div> <div> Missiledine: you will be about to start your fifth recast in a few seconds</div> <div> ElwingFD: guess I'll land, I thought it was much closer than that</div> <div> Missiledine: you have covered almost 7 miles of the trip back</div> <div> ElwingFD: I'll land near the edge of the forest, did I see any movement?</div> <div> Missiledine: no movement in the area, but you could see, before you landed, some traffic on the road</div> <div> ElwingFD: how far am I away from the area where I told Corren and Rolb to meet me?</div> <div> Missiledine: your about two miles to the south of it and maybe a mile from the road</div> <div> Dukejr01: a mile from the road?</div> <div> ElwingFD: which road /</div> <div> Missiledine: there is only one</div> <div> Dukejr01: I thought the ambush site was on the road</div> <div> Missiledine: the original one was,, where the boy was grabbed</div> <div> Dukejr01: <I think Ty said he would meet us where the other two party members were beaten up></div> <div> Missiledine: Ferric is south of that point on the road</div> <div> Dukejr01: <which was where the boy was originally kidnapped></div> <div> Missiledine: <Oh, the GM thought you were talking about where you dealt with the other group></div> <div> ElwingFD: so it's a two mile trip south to the place where the boy was nabbed?</div> <div> Dukejr01: <Oh! I can see that. but nope></div> <div> ElwingFD: <no, where our two GA farm boys were beaten></div> <div> Missiledine: <Gotcha ya!></div> <div> Missiledine: your about four miles from the ambush site</div> <div> Dukejr01: <"untolled" things were done to them...></div> <div> ElwingFD: ok, I thought you said two miles</div> <div> Missiledine: to the other place, where I thought you were going</div> <div> ElwingFD: no I wanted to happen by the ambush site</div> <div> Missiledine: I understand that now. Do you want to recast the spell? The 'other place' was 2 miles from the ambush</div> <div> Missiledine: site</div> <div> ElwingFD: well when you said edge of the forest, I was hopeing for that to be the area...no, if I recast that, </div> <div> ElwingFD: Im finished....literally</div> <div> Missiledine: you are on the ground. What do you do now?</div> <div> ElwingFD: guess I'm going to where I think the meeting site is</div> <div> Missiledine: Corren: You and Rolb continue on your way</div> <div> Missiledine: ok, you set off through the woods, till you reach the road and the ambush site</div> <div> ElwingFD: how much time to I figure it will take the riders to take?</div> <div> Dukejr01: the ambush site is not that far from Girvan.</div> <div> Missiledine: you see traffic on the road, but it looks to be normal merchant and farmer type stuff</div> <div> Missiledine: correct, it is only a few miles south of the town</div> <div> ElwingFD: is it on my way to town?</div> <div> Missiledine: for the riders to reach where?</div> <div> ElwingFD: the ambush site</div> <div> Missiledine: it's on the road to town</div> <div> Missiledine: hard to say how long. depends if the rest the horses, but if they come straight through, maybe 1 hour</div> <div> ElwingFD: and how long for me to walk there?</div> <div> Missiledine: where Tyler? The ambush site or the town of Girvan?</div> <div> Missiledine: the horseman are less than 2 hours from Girvan if they gallop straight through</div> <div> Missiledine: for you to walk to the ambush site from where you landed, maybe an hour. All the way to town, another</div> <div> Missiledine: hour and a half on that</div> <div> ElwingFD: remind me next time to ask this all up front before taking off to fly </div> <div> Missiledine: you have about a 6 mile head start on the horses, but they are moving faster than you can walking</div> <div> ElwingFD: we need to end this soon....brb</div> <div> ElwingFD: dont you just hate when your wife if afraid of millipedes and refuses to let you alone until you kill</div> <div> ElwingFD: it?\</div> <div> Missiledine: lol</div> <div> Dukejr01: fun with legged critters.</div> <div> Missiledine: multi legged</div> <div> ElwingFD: ok, so I've gained no advantage here, well I guess I jog to the ambush site and hope theyre there, </div> <div> ElwingFD: else I get my ass to town</div> <div> Missiledine: ok, Ferric. After scrambling through the woods, for what seems like forever, you see the ambush site </div> <div> Dukejr01: can do both. the ambush site is on the way to town</div> <div> ElwingFD: anyway, I'm suffering from my own exhaustion here, so we should end it, unless the merchant happens </div> <div> ElwingFD: to be here</div> <div> Missiledine: the road appears empty. You can't see anyone around as you exit the wood</div> <div> Missiledine: Are you sticking around or heading on down the road to town?</div> <div> ElwingFD: a quick check for them in this area..</div> <div> Dukejr01: <what is the merchant's name again?></div> <div> Missiledine: Herdon Junuk</div> <div> Dukejr01: <thanks></div> <div> Missiledine: no sign of any horses or men visible from the woods. There are a lot of big boulders, but it would be</div> <div> Missiledine: impossible to hide a large number like you saw earliier</div> <div> ElwingFD: I make a quick call out to him if no answer I will hustle to town</div> <div> Missiledine: when you call out, you think you see movement on top of one of the big boulders. But you can't be sur</div> <div> Missiledine: sure</div> <div> ElwingFD: "I am one of the men searching for your son, and I have news"</div> <div> Missiledine: A voice calls back, "What news?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "it is for Herdon Junuk only"</div> <div> Missiledine: "I am his man, here to meet with the brigands. I am up on the boulder. Come over here so we are not s</div> <div> Missiledine: ahouting for all the world to hear."</div> <div> ElwingFD: I go there</div> <div> Missiledine: A man raises his head and peers about carefully, "What news?" He asks</div> <div> ElwingFD: "where is your master?"</div> <div> Missiledine: "He will arrive later, with the ransom."</div> <div> Missiledine: "Are you of the brigands?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "how much later, the brigands will be here in minutes...do you have enough men to hold off the ten </div> <div> ElwingFD: that are coming?</div> <div> ElwingFD: no, I am one of the men sent out to search, you may have seen my face at the inn a couple nights back</div> <div> Missiledine: "If need be. Is the boy with them?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "I suspect some treachery afoot, that is why I must report back to your master"</div> <div> Missiledine: "He will be here soon. What of the boy?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: do I recognize this man from the inn?</div> <div> ElwingFD: "the boy is alive and well"</div> <div> Missiledine: no, he is not familiar to you</div> <div> Missiledine: "Is he safe then?"</div> <div> Missiledine: "dO THE BRIGANDS STILL HOLD HIM?"</div> <div> Missiledine: <sorry></div> <div> ElwingFD: "I will convey all know to your lord"</div> <div> ElwingFD: all I know</div> <div> Missiledine: "I must know if he is still held!"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "and I must know where your lord is"</div> <div> Missiledine: "He will be coming down the road from Girvan any minute. Is the young Master safe?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "you must tell me why I should trust you with that information?"</div> <div> Missiledine: The man looks back along the road, then says. "Why not tell me?"</div> <div> ElwingFD: "I will look for him on the road"  I walk down</div> <div> Missiledine: When you move he snaps up with a loaded and cocked crossbow. "Yer not goin anywhere, not till Sharkey</div> <div> Missiledine: gets a look at ye."</div> <div> ElwingFD: I start running </div> <div> Missiledine: "Put yer hands up!"</div> <div> Missiledine: He shoots</div> <div> ElwingFD: he misses</div> <div> Missiledine: <Oh?></div> <div> Missiledine: You have Missile Shield on?
