Act 1, Scene 4: "Eroding the Wetrocks" (Main Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

"Shall we send a couple combat ready folks with group of escapees to our camp from last night? The rest look for his treasure?"

[TristenC]

Krak and the Chief did, i bet Krok would too. The youth points to a side area witjh pallets of furs and things strewn about.

[Chris1234]

Linar blends into a deep nook of shadow to guard the party's rear.
He stays there until Katten has done the organising thing that she seems uncomfortable with but is so good at.

[Jenara]

"We not split up, our strength in numbers, Linar wait with bow, we search for a short while, then leave." Making sure the others are equiped with weapons where she can the Ranger begins to stab each fur with her bow lightly, testing for holes.

[Chris1234]

Linar complies, silent as the stone around him.

[Squirrellord]

Jordek assists the lady in her search.

[TristenC]

The party searches the area of bedding, finding nothing but hard stone beneath the furs. The teen watches eagerly, obviously disappointed at the results... I don't understand... he has to have something... thinking he snaps his fingers as an idea comes to him. Krok was also in charge of Old Scruff"... the Bear!

[Nocturno]

"Boy, you better not be trying to lead us into something." Nocturno glances at the motley group of escapees and martially savvy folk.

"Have we been to the bear den? Is that where we freed the others?"

[Jenara]

"Yes. I got these near." Scratching at the burns on her arms she longed for the sunlight, in her mind she could feel home calling. "You trick us? I not be happy. Not at all." She nudges the boy, "Bear set free, he with wild now." Grudgiingly she heads in that direction, taking point. "Cover rear, they come from behind if they come."

[Chris1234]

Linar detaches from the deeper darkness to silently play rearguard, flicking between patches of shadow.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno makes sure everyone goes by before setting out to follow the group, except for the Drow.

[TristenC]

The youth balks, genuinely shocked at the implications he might be leading them astray. I'm not trying to trick anyone! I dont even know if Krok had anything, it was just a guess because Krok did. I just wsnt to go home... he says, worry creasing his features as if he thought they might now leave him behind.

Katten leads on to the area where the ground is split just before the bear-den where the other prisoners were held

===
lol, suspicious group

[Chris1234]

Unless anything appraoches from rear or he's called to the front for trap-type stuff Linar continues as shadow-hugging rearguard.
(Bow is equipped and three arrows readied for trick shot).

[Jenara]

Katten gives a toothy smile. "You pass test. We go find if there is treasure." Patting the boy on the back she grins again. "You will get home."

[Squirrellord]

Jordek chuckles quietly and gives a wry grin to the youth. Giving a glance in the cat lady's direction he is happy to see some humour coming from her.
