Subject Into the hills

OOC: Sorry, it has been a busy weekend with birthday and other things in our family.

Cai beds down for the night, taking time to meditate to help her remember all she knows about the terrain and keep her focus on tracking. She also reinforces the spell she keeps in reserve for when they meet the goblins.

Subject Abby/Jake

I am still waiting to hear from both Nate and Abby/Jake. When I hear back from them I will get a turn out.

Subject The second camp

Again the night passes with out incident. Every one takes their watches as scheduled, but there are no interruptions. The next morning camp is again broken quickly and the chase is back on. After about three hours on the road the party again comes upon a camp that the goblins had used with in the past couple of days. Cai is able to pick out a few things at the camp. She is fairly sure that the Lady Rochelle was still with the goblins, since she found a few pieces of cloth that would seem to have come from the Lady's clothing. Alatyr confirms that the material looks like stuff Rochelle's dress had been made of.

An hour after they have passed the goblin camp Ebon comes back from patrol, looking very excited. He lands on Bel's saddle and starts hoping up and down. It is obvious to Bel that the bird has something to tell him. Salix rides up and says ?Would you mind if I tried to talk to him? I know he is your special companion, but the grace of Obad Hai allows me to talk with animals, for a time.? Bel nods. Salix again touches the images embossed on his armor and quickly says the prayer that allows him to speak to the animals.

?Friend Ebon, what has excited you?? Salix squawks at the bird. The bird replies ?My human, the person over there,? he points with his beak at Bel, ? has asked me to be on the look out for anything strange ahead. About 5 minutes flight ahead I saw a couple of very large creatures waiting behind a large fallen tree to the west of the path These creatures are very tall and very ugly. They are holding very large clubs. I thought that this would be worth reporting.? Salix then asks? Is there any way for us to approach them with out being seen?? Ebon replies ?I do not think so. They have picked their spot very well. They are very close to the road but can not be seen from the road until it is too late. The place they are hiding in can not be approached from north.? With that Salix's prayer ends and the bird falls silent.

OODM: OK guys let me know how you want to proceed.
