On the Road|Ilyamen

[Toyoll]

Nyala removed her prized dagger from the insect and was licking her wounds. She got up, the gash wasn't deep or serious after all, and walked over to the rest of the small party.

"Well, that was fun."she said in a pleasant voice. "But yes, we should leave. This place will be crawling with ankheg by nightfall."

[mikata]

Osric looks over Nyala and flushes, before stretching a little and looking back and forth at his companions, "so, how much longer do you think it will be before we reach Talen'sul?"

[Toyoll]

Nyala shook her head, "I'm not sure, I've never been outside of the Beastlands." She flipped a rogue strand of raven hair back, thoroughly pleased with the kill. She has only fought an ankheg once and it was a runt compared to this thing. "You'd better ask the monk."

[adris]

Adris scratched his head for a moment and then looked towards the two and replied with a chuckle.

"Yes I guess I am the travelled one huh? Well, the terrain from here to Talen'sul is mainly the plains until we reach the mountains that the land of the winds are on itself, then of course things get more rocky. So I would think that while the amount of land to cover is greater, it shouldn't take too much longer to get from here to there then it did to get from Humontis to Ilyamen because we don't need to cross a forest. So Nyala, basically take the time we traveled together and add a day and that is how long it will probably take."

He looked in the direction of Talen'sul, knowing in his heart that things a lot worse then this Ankheg lie at their destination.

[Toyoll]

Nyala scratched her chin, "Hmm...it isn't that long...." She shrugged, "Oh, well. It'll be interesting to say the least."

She reached into her small sack and pulled out a long strip of cloth and began to wrap it around her wound. "One does not travel without the proper supplies", the wolf said.

[mikata]

Osric nods at Nyala, "I never leave without my crafting tools!"
He looks over his shoulder at Adris, "so I guess we should go. I hope we reach a town or something by nightfall. I'm not too good at foraging."

[Toyoll]

Nyala looked up with a wolfish grin ((no pun intended... )), "Oh, I don't think you need to worry about that. I can catch plenty of food.." She got up and tested her leg a bit, it seemed good enough. She shrugged, then turned back to Osric, "I'm sure Adris knows that much."

[adris]

"I do indeed, she is very good at what she catches, getting one of the biggest catches I have ever seen by herself. So if you are ever hungry you can come with me to gather herbs while Nyala sees if she can't get dinner."

Adris smiled approvingly towards the beast type, glad that she had decided to come along on this little journey of theirs.

"That said milady, remember to stay close enough that if you are attacked by something we can come and help. Shall we move forward all?"

(I will leave to Osric again how everything goes in the journey and adapt to whatever the happenings are)

[Kender Bard]

((When you are all tired of traveling, someone feel free to make a post in Talen'sul.))

[mikata]

((All righty))
Osric travels along with his two companions over the next couple of days, growing more and more uneasy.
"Hey Adris," he says one day, little more than a stone's throw from the city, "why do you think the messengers from Ilyamen haven't come back?"

[adris]

Adris scratched his chin and thought to himself for a moment before making his response... he really didn't know himself.

"Well, there are really several reasons for this... they could be taking longer then wanted, or maybe they are taking a rest. They also could have other tasks to attend to before returning. Another problem may be they ran into trouble like us but..."

He paused for a long and very uneasy moment before continuing.

"Anything worse then that you probably can guess and I don't want to think about."

[Toyoll]

Nyala looked at them quizzically, "Messengers?" Unfortunately for our beast type, she was never abreast of the world and it's events.
She was always more occupied with prowling around the Beastlands, stalking would-be prey.

[mikata]

Osric shrugged helplessly at Nyala and turned back to Adris, falling back into step with him, "Have you ever been to Talen'sul?"

[adris]

Adris nodded an affirmative... while he dosn't know everything about the places he has visited he has been to all corners of the world except Flux and the water city on the lake.

"I have indeed, it is a calm place usually, one of the more welcoming places I have gone to during my travels. Trust me it was a relief to finally find a place where I could rest without worrying if someone was going to stab me during my stay."

He continued to walk beside Osric and replaced his trident at his back finally. The journey he hoped would be smooth from here on in.
