she moves 10ft back and frosts it again
Pip fires again
And the arrow flies true. Pip gives a whoop and reloads.
Maoldrurra guides his horse back from the ooze then draws another arrow and looses at the oozes.
MW (+3 Str) Composite Shortbow .. damage
Anna ray misses the ooze. Pip's crossbow bolt hits the ooze and it collapses into a a bunch of sticky goo before Maol arrow got there. collapsing to the ground dead.
Pip heaves a sigh of relief. What in the blue blazes was that? And please tell me there aren't more.
A shooting star flies through the sky. And then a small gust of wind as the moon comes ever so closer to going down.
Maoldrurra shakes his head. "I have no idea if there are more, but the farm lies that way. We'll just have to stay alert."
Maoldrurra kicks his horse forward and watches closely for signs of another ooze.
Perception
Pip drops off Maol's horse and quickly swings up onto Nimbus before following closely behind the Elf.
"We better hurry this up, cause once that moon goes under the horizon it'll be harder to see."
The way for the party to travel is now mostly clear and the next house seems much closer and then the party seems to go up a hill that is a little more rocky with less problems. Now another shooting star goes through the sky. The party then gets to a top of a little rise and sees Moe's house on a flat spot.
A bat flies overhead of the house quickly zooming out of view.
Pip rides up closely behind Maol, waiting for him to initiate contact, as he has done with all the farms so far.
Maoldrurra hurries forward to the door and cracks it a couple times with the butt of his glaive. "Orcs are coming! Rouse yourselves and seek shelter in Southwatch! Hurry!
A man inside says jsut as a cold gust of wind blows. "This is bad news. I should get dressed before coming out into the cold. Are there others I can travel with?"
Do you have a horse? asks over the wind.
He replies "No but I have a donkey"
"Saddle up and ride for Franklyn's. The other families are meeting there. We are headed on to Kendal. What's the quickest route?"
First family, Eliane is the wife : alerted-- loading their wagon, meeting at Franklyn's.
Xander: ready quickly and on the road to Franklyn's.
Daggin: -- man and little girl Angelica.
Franklyn -- Daggin is helping the Franklyn's get together. Everyone to meet here.
Moe -- has a donkey.
Kendal
Moe says "I will The quickest way is to follow this road oyu are on. " About three minutes later Moe comes out in some shabby clothes but with some shoees on and walks to a nerby barn and gets a donkey out and saddles it and the the party dpearts on the way up this road with many barirers and breaks in the process coming up to the top of the hill when it sounds like a crow is already up.
After hearing the crow, Maoldrurra looks to Pip. "Is it too early for crows to wake?"
Pip thinks for a moment before replying, I don't know if crows have any preferred sleep time, but they've always been awake whenever I done need them to be. She glares in the direction of the black bird as if it had personally insulted her. Best be ready for anything. Dark wings always bring misfortune.
A gentle breeze greats the party when they get to the top of the hill Moe says "Just two more hills." The crow has seen to go away but the party notice a bit of dried meat on the road.
Pip warily watches the roadside, thoroughly convinced that things are about to go south.
Pip does not really spot anything in the firm ground of the road The compacted dirt on here seemed not to absorb much water. Off the sides of the road seems more wet.
Maoldrurra glances at the dried meat. "What do you think? Orc provisions? Bait?" Either way we need to be careful.
Maol looks about and hefts his glaive.
Perception
Maol sees a footprint that looks like a bare foot on the road going across it that looks like a little bigger than a human.
"That is one big foot print. Ogres or giants maybe?"
Either way, this is getting worse by the minute. We need to get back to Frank's farm. Let's go.
The elf nods agreement.
Off to the next farm then.
The footprint looks like it was headed off the road.
The party continues after the footprint on the road. The party goes through the moonlight with moe keeping near the back of the party and to teh right. The road appears to get not as worn in but Moe says [b]"this used to be a campground and used for some training for forces stationed in southwatch and castle everstand. Now weeds have started to grow in the field as the party advances into the campground. IT was Moe at tihs time gets interupted by the crack of a whip Then three orcs two of wihch wearing barely any clothes and a third in a chainshirt with a whip run into the parties veiw.
Maoldurra
Pip

Pip to act.
Pip quickly drops to the ground and shoos Nimbus into the underbrush. She then draws her little crossbow.
They look unfriendly.
"Never met an orc I liked," Maoldrurra mutters as he readies his glaive.
"Moe, stay back."
The orc near pip comes closer to pip to get ten feet away then throws a shuriken at pip The shuriken hits pip squarely in the thigh and seems to hurt more than a shuriken normally would with the viscous strength of the throw. and the other orc comes closer and throws a shuriken at maol. The shuriken near maol misses going over his head.
Maol to act.
