Salix takes wing

Subject Salix takes wing

As the party discusses tactics and strategy one thing becomes clear: the barbarian tribes need to be warned somehow. But to do that they would need to find them first. "I am the best one equipped to find them"Salix says. "The rest of you work out some type of plan that deals with our basic needs and I will be back in a couple of hours. It shouldn't take me too long to find them. Allistair, could you come with me for a bit and give me a hand?" The mage nods, a bit bewildered as to how he could help the druid. The two make their way back to the other room and Salix opens one of the windows. "It may not be safe to leave the window open while I am gone" Salix says. "If you could come back here every half hour or so and open the window for a few minutes that will keep me from having to wait outside for very long. Give me at least two hours before you come back for the first time." The mage nods and watches as Salix squats down on the floor.

The druid enters a type of trance, muttering to himself and starts to shift form. Seconds latter a large hawk is hopping around on the floor of the room. It looks at Ally with intelligent eyes and motions at the shutters with its beak. The mage moves to the window, throws open the shutters and stands back as the hawk jumps up on the sill. The birds powerful legs launch it into the early afternoon sun and it wings its way west. Ally watches the druid until the bird fades from site. "May your god watch over you my friend."

OODM: I am sending Karl the info that he found.
