1. The Village of Pramayama

[saalaria]

Joffrey - proud warrior

"My and Zephyr's thanks to you Roikos, he was looking in a bad way there. We must return for guard duty, we have the lives of our comrades-in-arms to consider. This trail of prints can wait till tomorrow."

Joffrey mounts up, expecting everyone else to agree

[tumblingdice]

Roikos utters healing prayers over his wounded comrades and mounts. Through Vanya's strength, he heals both Joffrey and Zephyr of 10 hp dmg. He heals his own mount of 4 hp dmg. New hit point totals:

Aristide 44/44
--Max 19/19
Tasrem 14/15
Taranna 34/34
Zelaz 15/15
Sir Joffrey 46/51
--Zephyr 15/19
Roikos 50/50
--Peny 14/16

OOC: Does Roikos know what consequences the Captain is able to command upon our group if we disobey him? I don't know if Roikos would know or understand the hierarchy and structure enough to make an educated guess on what their punishment might be, if any.

You've seen Captain Sarras order the flogging of soldiers for offenses ranging from sleeping while on duty to attempted assault of female refugees. Most of the time he just hollers and screams. That said, you are a group of high-level characters, so in game terms, you may not have much to fear physically. Of course, Sarras is no slouch of a fighter, either. There's also Commander Winter, who's a formidable fighter in his own right, but leaves all the day-to-day operations to Sarras. He'd give you a good fight, too.

Zelaz agrees with the others, Fine. We return to the camp tonight and, if the mood strikes us, return here to continue our search. Perhaps the power of Vanya will keep back the rain and keep the tracks fresh, he concludes with a sneer. Come Ténèbres.

He will spur his horse back towards camp, expecting his hell hound to follow.

Aristide - Thief

Aristide breathes a sigh of relief when it's decided to go back. He settles in on old Max' saddle and scratches the old camel's ear as he plods back toward the encampment....

[Spanningtree]

Taranna

Rolling her eyes Taranna will bring her horse around in the direction of camp and push ahead.

[greyarea]

Zelaz notices Taranna's eye roll says, Do you want to seek this out ourselves, and let the others return to camp. Again, if we tarry we might lose the trail or an injured bishop might expire. Ténèbres and I can join you on the hunt

[kwll]

Tasrem follows the others, silent.

[Spanningtree]

Taranna

Bringing her horse to a stop: Yes, Zelaz. I feel we are turning back to early. I will stay and explore the trail. Smiling, she will turn around yet again and make for the trail of tracks.

[greyarea]

Zelaz smiles and turns Horace about as well. Ténèbres, sniff out the trail, he commands.

[kwll]

"What is wrong with these people? They never know in which direction they are going!" says Tasrem before turning around as well and following the others.
