Yes, of course you can assist! Teamwork is magic! Leilara should roll with an advantage with Yrsa's help.

"Ummmm... I'm not sure if I'm reading this right. Anyone else wanna take a look?"

The group spends a quarter of the day traveling, albeit slowly due to the amount of obstacles on the route Leilara plotted. There was a field of strange thorny plants that resembled sea urchins, jagged terrain, and a few spots of quicksand that Leilara didn't even notice until she stepped into them. Magnus was able to easily pull her out of the sand, but it was still an unpleasant experience.

Overall, nothing bad happened - just annoying problems. On the bright side, if anyone was following you secretly they would have a hell of a time trying to track you!

After trudging through a particularly sweltering stretch of desert, the party stopped for a rest near the only landmark for miles - ruins of a raided caravan. While resting, a plume black smoke can be seen rising from the direction of Bhjurba's Den. Based on the map it'll only take a few more hours to reach your destination, so you should reach it just as the sun is setting.

As of right now the group has drank more than half of their water supply, due to Kalimonsore's loss of his share and the problems navigating. I added the additional goal of 'restock on water' to the first post. Failure to meet this goal will result in a loss of 200 XP when you complete the mission!
OOC:
This is time for you guys to make any last minute plans about how to handle the slavers, when you are ready to head off again just give me the word! You won't need to roll to navigate again.

"Now that we're almost there, let's decide our course of action. Kali, you're planning on being the primary negotiator?"

"Yes I will speak to them, we have the letter and what lady Tsira gave to you Magnus, we do not know how many people are in this den but I hope only this goes well for are sakes and the rest of the camps, we also have those people out there looking around and they are currently between us and the camp."

"A place like that ought to have a market," says Yrsa, standing on a ruined wagon for a better perch to spy on the column of black smoke. "Before or after our meeting, we'll need to restock our supplies for the trip back."

She hops down to rejoin the group. "If they agree to meet with us when we arrive tonight, perhaps they'll have already eaten and drunk their fill, and be in a more agreeable mood."

Leilara suddenly remembers something. "Oh! That's right! Magnus, try this out!" She slaps the bracelet onto his ankle. "It should really help you leap into battle!" she exclaims, grinning wildly.

Cough, cough - ankle band - cough.

OOC:
Why do you expect me to READ on a play-by-post forum?! Also, ankle bracelet does make it easier for Leilara to put it on him...

"Thank you Leilara, I'll use it well," Magnus says, truly grateful for the gift.
OOC:
Is there a limit to the number of times this can be used in a day?

OOC:
It can be used 3 times per day.

Sorry for the late replies, I've been busy as hell lately... what else is new. This weekend will be clear though!
As the group rests, several more pillars of black smoke rise into the sky. Anyone who is familiar with sieges or warfare would recognize it as a clear sign that there is a battle underway.

"Huh," quips Yrsa, retaking her position on the ruined wagons for a better vantage. "Well... maybe they're just... having a barbeque?"
Apr 6, 2016 4:03 pm
"That'd be a mighty large barbecue. We'd better get over there before there's no Den to make a contract with."
Apr 6, 2016 4:12 pm
Yrsa inwardly wishes she had her mother's spyglass. "I don't know, it's generally not a good idea to walk into a battlefield while it's taking place. And even if we did manage to get past whoever's attacking the place, I don't think negotiating a supply contract with a keep in the middle of nowhere is very high on their list of priorities."
Apr 6, 2016 4:22 pm
"Well, we may as well go and get a closer look. Can't make any decisions unless we know what we're dealing with."

Kalimonsore spoke up, he had an idea

"We should scout it out! I can transform into a horse and someone could ride me closer to get a better look, if there's bad guys there, it's easier for someone to get away on horse then by foot, of course there's the issue that you could fall off."

OOC:
You guys would be able to move stealthily and still make it to Bhjurba's Den with daylight. Though, using your animal form to scout out the interior of the city is a great way to stay undercover - even if someone saw you they would just think it was an animal!
