The trail is simple to follow. Human, kobold and drake footprints are everywhere. The weather is cool and clear, and travel is easy. The trail leads south about twelve miles, to a more rugged region where steep sided, rocky plateaus replace the gently rolling hills. The land between the plateaus is largely flat, broken only by outcroppings and wandering streams in deep gullies.

As you march a small plume of smoke appears a mile or two ahead of you.

Zsa, move towards the smoke and then return to report back if there’s danger.

"They couldn’t be that brazen, could they?" she asks to the group. "It’s got to be a group of hunters or travelers."
OOC:
Clarice will order her familiar forward far ahead of the group to take a peek. I’ll leave it to the DM as to Zsa’s fate. :-)

it will take a cat about an hour to cover that distance and back. is there anything you want be doing that time?

OOC:
I had planned on continuing to trudge forward, figuring Zsa could leg it ahead of the group a bit and find them along the trail on the way back from the smoke. I hadn’t intended to keep the group from moving.

In case ot is the raiders, maybe we should wait here in a hidden spot. They may have outriders.

"I'd rather keep moving, but if you think it makes sense to wait and hide for bit, I can do that."

"They may have inflated egos with their success, but I agree that we should move more carefully now."

the cat pitter-ptters off into the distance as you take a more defensive approach to movement. You've gotten about a half mile closer to the smoke plume by the time the cat returns. Apparently none the worse for wear.

Clarice stops in her tracks and puts her hands on her hips, staring at the little white cat.

Well, Zsa? Anything of interest ahead?

Oh darling

it was terrible. Simply awful darling.

There are four of those hairless apes, and twice as many of those tiny dragons. They look like beggars darling, no fashion sense at all!

They are trying to cook some kind of hens darling, but the smell!

I simply could not bear it darling!

Clarice will share with the others what her familiar has passed along.

"Might be occupied with a meal from the sounds of it. If we hurry we might be able to get at them before they leave, force some information from them."
OOC:
Perfect representation of Zsa! :-)

after relaying the news, Zsa - very classily and with great poise - lies down in the dirt and begins to lick herself

"Well the numbers don't seem terribly out of favor for us at least. We could try an ambush while they sleep, since they seem to be stopped."
Apr 30, 2021 6:39 pm
There are 12 of them. If we could get them while they sleep, I would like the odds better.
Apr 30, 2021 7:36 pm
"They may just be resting. We should at least get closer so that we can keep an eye on them."
OOC:
I may have missed, but what time of day is it?
Apr 30, 2021 7:47 pm
You left Greenest at dawn and have travelled about 12 miles. It's not quite mid-day yet.

We can try to attack them on two fronts, as they aren't likely to be really sleeping this time of day. Though 2v6 still seems like it would be difficult
