Jack Returns, Recon Team Heads Out
Subject: Re: Cries in the night 2
Try as he might, Mission cannot hear anything. But Farron's face is so intense, so. . . sincere, he doesn't think to doubt him.
He's a bit startled when Jack clambers up the mage's robe, and feels a moment's revulsion as the weasel puts its mouth to Farron's ear. To be that close to those little sharp teeth. . . ugh. It gives the monk the shivers. How can Farron stand to have Jack slinking around in his robes all day? Little claws, little teeth. . . brr.
Mission waits quietly for Jack and Farron's report.

Farron relays this information to the group awake and suggests that maybe he, Jack, and at least one other (Rennik, or Mission) go investigate.
Farron also exchanges a few more chatters with Jack, asking if the "small person" appears to be alone.
"Jack tells Farron that he found a 'small person' wandering in the woods to the northeast. Farron knows from past experience that a fifteen minute creep for Jack equates to about five minutes of normal walking for him, but in these woods it could be ten or more minutes away. Jack moves much more quickly through the undergrowth than the people do."

With a complicated series of hand waves Farron casts Dispel Noxious Gas.

And for once, Mission is grateful for the mage's assistance. . .

A child, or one of the Murrakat? Mission could not imagine one of the savage halflings crying in the darkness. He stifles a needle of anxiety for his own little one. . . out there. Eastward. In Anileth's belly.
He ties a dark wrap of cloth around his blonde hair. "Shall we go see if this 'little person' needs any help, Rennick?"

Jack didn't see anyone else.

[Ok, we are just waiting on Rennik at this point, but the plan is to have Mission, Rennik, and Karl go find the crying person?]

OOC: That was my plan. . . can't speak for the sissy mage or barbarous halfling. . . :)

Pending Rennik's answer, yes, I think that's the plan that is brewing.

Garyth frowns slightly at the idea of splitting the party, but knows that he cannot move as quietly through the brush as his companions. He nods his approval to the plan and whispers, "I think the others should be wakened, just in case."

Hey, the sissy mage already spoke for himself.

Rennik's in agreement. He'll strap the axe on his back, leave his backpack, and creep forward with bow in hand, using all his ability to move silently and survey the terrain for pitfalls or anything else he could point out to the others that might hinder their progress (or cause them to fall).
(OOC: Sorry about the delay. Long day at work.)
