*Donovan emerges from the bunkroom, gives the old man a nod and a smile, and loads up on some Scotch eggs before making a sweep of the party. Once convinced that everyone is ready to go, he gives a nod to Claude and quietly waits for their departure.*

*Once the party appears ready the little old man instructs the group to make a line to the door. The party squishes around in the room until they can do the best that they can to form a line. Once the little old man is satisfied that this is the best they can do, he commands their attention.*

"Alright... this must be carefully executed. So when I count to three, I need you to run out in a line as fast as you can."

*The little old man walks up to the door, unhooks the wooden bar unlocking the door and begins counting:*

"One! Two! Three! Run!"

*The little old man swings the door open, but stays off to one side in order to allow the men to run past him. Once the last man is out, the group can hear the door pound shut.*

*As the group stops running and looks around to orient themselves, they find themselves surrounded by thick woods and a small, unfamiliar building behind them.*

*Donovan glances around, taking in their new surroundings*

"Phoenix Guard, establish a perimeter. Let's not be taken by suprise by whatever might be out here. Kels, how about finding us a trail? Lambic, any idea where we might be?"

McEwan snapps his head around as if he is trying to track something noone else can see. After a moment he goes into, what seems to be, an intence consentration

"I've seen this afore."

Scanning the area he moves around as if trying to find a spicific spot

"I be a'recognizin' that tree, the one with the knot. Were naught o' ya a'dreamin' last night?...Somethin' aboot this place?"

drifts back into his concentration

"Donavan, let me know when you wish me to attempt anything with Kel's head."

*For anyone that inspects the unfamiliar building its a tall box-like shape that does not appear to fit more than one or two people, with one door.*

*Kels takes a moment to ready his bow then heads out to find a trail of some kind*

"What is wrong with my head would someone just tell me allready!"
"What DOT!!!!"

*Kels stops looks back to the party he looks very confused*

"I know it's not posible for me to know were we are cuz i've never been here, but i think we are close to frostfell..... we need to go south.... we overshot or mark.....*He stops rubs his forhead* I do no know how i know i just do."

Absently rummeges through his gear, pulls out a mirror, holds it in front of Kels, then goes back to thinking

*Claude scans the area looking for threats or for anything familar while setting up a defenive postion with the others*

What dreams do you speak of McEwan? My dreams last night were odd but nothing like this was in them.

"Something about here. Something familiar."

Kels · Post by **Kels** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 4:42 pm

"So i think that we should head south."

*He waits for a respons*

*Claude looks about as Kels give his report.*

Alright, but does anyone know where we are or what that small building is? Kels, any tracks in the area... anything resembling those creatures Donovan says our allies will be riding?

Kels · Post by **Kels** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 4:48 pm

*Kels begins a search of the area for any tracks*

*Donovan takes a long look at Kels, the dot on his head, McEwan, the shack, and the area around them. He seems to evaluate something, then comes to a decision.*

"So be it, south it is. Kels, lead the way. McEwan, speak up if anything else looks familiar."

"Donmayo, do you have any knowledge of what that dot might be? I'm reluctant to tinker with it at the moment, since its source appears benevolent. The decision as what to do with it belongs to Kels for the time being."
