Prophesy of the Gods

[Enigma]

Qarxel sits down and prays to the gods. (again)

[Hyper Kinetic]

"Perhaps, Chief Seer," mused Phoen-ra, "But they did not kill you. Then perhaps the way we should go forward is to set out to find these items." He took a deep breath. "But those forests have not been penetrated for... well... I no not of any party that has breached it, and that scares me. Is there another way to get to this artefact?"

[koran]

"I do not know. I can only sometimes see the artifacts and sence where they are, but never the way to them. And I also dont know of a way around the forest or how wide it is to try to traverse it."

[Enigma]

Qarxel stands once again. "Then we should start going. If it is a large forest, we need to get there soon if we wish to obtain them."

[barbedsparky]

Karu takes the steel knife, an axe and a share of supplies.

"Ok if we have to go then we should and soon."

"Liani are you able to travel with us?"

[koran]

"Yes I think I can. I dont really have any choice though," she adds with a thin smile.

Barbed, could be a gent and delete his post ;p

Phoen-ra grabs his new stone spear and practices a few thrusts and parries. One final big swing of the club end leaves him satisfied that it is a good weapon and will surely aid him with the trials to come. He fills his water bladder to its maximum capacity. He straps on a pouch of cooked meat over the top of his wolf pelt and leathers whilst looking over the scene of destruction. His hand brushes over his two knife pouches as he bends down to mouth a small prayer to the Wolves for safety. With one hand on his spear, the other on his wolf tooth, he raises his head up to the heavens with a tear in his eye.
"I am ready."

[Enigma]

Qarxel takes the amulet he uses when praying to the gods, his spear and fills waterbag full as well as some food.

[koran]

Am I to assume your going to the forest them?

[Hyper Kinetic]

(you've got that triple post thing happening again... must be at work )

Yeah, I'd be up for that

[Enigma]

Qarxel wishes to enter, yes.

[barbedsparky]

(The prophesy isn't going to come to us I gather)

Let us continue under Liani's guiding hand.

[koran]

You leave the burning ruins of your lives behind you and head out across the barren wasteland to the forest.

Along the way unfortunatly Porais, who didnt bring any water or meat dies.... Someone gives his corpse a good kick in the ribs to be sure and you carry on moving. ;p

As you aproach the tree line you realise why you have heard of few people enterign the forest. The tree's are dark and fill you with a feeling of dread. Even a few meters in you can see a dramatic reduction in visibility as no light is let in through the canopy above. You can see no path made by game or people.

In the distance behind you you can see dust rising, a group of... something... is heading towards you.

Qarxel raises his spear in preperation

[Hyper Kinetic]

"We have a few moments before they are near enough to spot us," Phoen-ra said, starting to move his spear around in preparation. "Let's use this to make a quick decision: Do we run or fight? I vote run deeper into the forest - If they are hostile, they will not be able to use their speed as well in the denser forest. We can also attempt to hide deeper in the undergrowth and darkness."
