Re: IC
With the prospect of a dawn start, Fenn retires early for the night.
Re: IC
Dawn breaks and Arethus leads the three of you and the rest of the scouting party into the Border Kingdom. At first, the path you are on is trodden often enough by merchants trying to avoid Nemedian tariffs that it resembles a road, but all too soon the paths are completely over taken by nature. The going is slow. The men at the front of the scouting party must often clear the brush in front of them with hatchets, and those with horses end up leading them more than riding them. As the hours wear on you all notice a disturbing trend. More and more you see that someone, group, or thing has decorated multiple dead trees with the skulls of various creatures (mostly cattle or deer but also humans, canines, and rodents).
Re: IC
"Did you see such a thing when you were last in the Border Kingdom?" Fenn asks the oldest Nemedian Paulus, eyeing the human skulls in particular.
Re: IC
"It reminds me of some of the things the Picts do to frighten intruders," comments Claudius.

Anakunaisi
"My tribe used to put up the skulls of cattle and old horses to mark our territory," says Anakunaisi, the Turanian fighter. He doesn't mention the human skulls his devious witch lord of a master used to bury around his dominion...

Re: IC
Paulus responds, "Aye, I saw a couple of trees ornamented like this, but not nearly as many as these." As you keep moving Arethus shouts to the party, "I believe that the Aqulonian and the Turanian have the right of it. From what I understand, the warlords and larger outlaw groups use things like this to mark there territory here. Everyone stay on alert, and report any activity no matter how benign seeming." After this announcement you all hear the male Aesir, who goes by Osvald, say: "No shit Southerner. If part of your job is stating the obvious you're well suited to it." If Arethus hears this he makes no reply.
Re: IC
Another hour passes, with only a couple of the more nervous men in the party pointing out what is clearly small animals making their way through the underbrush, and the vanguard reaches a clearing in the woodland. Arethus declares that this will be the spot the party stops to feed and water their horses and themselves. He puts Anakunaisi, two of the Nemidians, and the Zamoran on the first watch.

OOC: Go ahead and post your first action and we'll go by Dex order. Since none of the bandits have actually attacked yet, if you want to try to pick out individuals moving in the woods you'll need to make another spot check. |
Re: IC
Claudius also sees the glint of metal and unshoulders his bow. In one rapid motion, he pulls an arrow from his quiver, nocks it, and sends it straight into the head of one of the attackers. His preference is to shoot an enemy archer if he can see one.

For Anakunaisi, the ambushers form a chaotic, whirling mess. He would want to get a better look at them, but at this point, he simply lets an arrow into this shapeless enemy...

Re: IC
The clearing erupts into chaos as arrows and bandits appear from seemingly every direction. The screams of fighting and dying men and the clash of metal fill your ears, and the world narrows as you are enveloped in the fog of war.

Re: IC
While Claudius knows that a crossbow bolt is deadlier than an arrow, he also knows it will take the crossbowman some time to reload, so he shoots at the bowman first. Now behind cover, he whips out a second arrow, which flies unerringly to its target.

Claudius hastily slings his bow and unsheathes the massive great sword he carries on his back. Demonstrating that he is a devastating swordsman as well as a deadly archer, he grips the hilt in both hands and tries to cleave his attacker.
