Mig hums diligently as he oils his gear.

Ythindra calms immediately, hearing that the fire is out. "
Okay, let's find them,"
she says uncertainly.

As Crash bent down to examine the body, his attention was drawn to a strange section of skin peeking from his shirt - it appeared to be some sort of synth fused to the flesh. The synth was shaped in a series of interlocking hexagons, starting at the base of the man's neck and continuing beneath the jerkin.

At the leader's side lay the greatsword he had wielded. It seemed to be made of good quality, and the fire didn't seem to have damaged it in any way.
OOC:
The greatsword is a Heavy, two-handed weapon, and deals 6pts of damage. If you are not trained in the use of Heavy weapons, using it will make the attacks one step more difficult.

As Zandoran and Ythrinda start their journey back into the forest, a trio of shadows briefly pass over them. Looking up, they spot three golden creatures flying overhead, seemingly following the path of the river upstream.

Crash inspects the sword and tests it's strength by biting on it a little at various points. He resolves himself to have a new metal cooking slab if they don't find someplace to sell it. Ripping off the man's shirt he inspects the oddity.

"Anyone know... what this do?" Crash asks aloud looking at the others wondering how to rip it off the body if no one had any idea what he was talking about.

OOC:
If it matters, OOLIN is Skilled at identifying and understanding numenera.

Can I take my 10 minute rest now?

Guiding Ythindra back through the forest is relatively easy and Zandoran takes the time to gently admonish his employer for running away M'lady, how am I supposed to watch over you if you insist on running away, thankfully nothing happened, this time. But what if there had been more of them in the bushes... And thankfully you didn't sprain an ankle tripping over a root
Realising that he's starting to sound like the old Abbot he shuts up until they reach the rest of the group...

Hey Guys... everyone alright after the fight? As I was hauling Ythindra out of the river we saw three golden flying creatures heading upstream. Anyone have any ideas what they are or where they could be headed??

OOC:
So, right now—as far as location/proximity goes:
Mig, OOLIN, and Zip are on the road.
Crash is in the bushes near one of the fallen bandits.
And Zandoran and Ythrinda are in the woods across the road by the stream, but heading back to the road.
The dude with the cart has headed off up around the bend.
The bandits scattered (but might come back to finish what they started).

Does that sound about right?

OOC:
looks like we posted at about the same time... Ythindra and Zandoran are back with the group on the road
Jun 2, 2017 3:40 pm
"Somebody better wrangle the creature. We need to get out of these woods." Mig nods towards Ythindra, implying it's her responsibility to fetch Crash from the smouldering wood. "Which way?"
OOC:
Those of us that were on the road weren't privy to the flying creatures. If it's something noteworthy, we should hear about it and decide if there course should impact ours.
Jun 2, 2017 3:44 pm
OOC:
Yes, Zandoran mentioned the flying creatures and their direction when he & Ythindra rejoined the group
Jun 2, 2017 3:47 pm
OOC:
I purposedly dragged the leader to the road before I started the process to put out the fire before going back to my sna err fallen combatant to investigate.

OOC:
@jabes.plays.rpg - you can definitely take a 10min rest (based on the OOC thread, @godric and @remnant were doing likewise)

To recap the situation, all the PCs have reconvened near where you had originally met Khoj. Everyone is within Short range of eachother. Khoj has fled up the path pulling his cart. As he won't be moving very fast, it would be an simple matter to catch up to him. The bandits have fled away from the fight and fire, disappearing into the forest. If you wanted to follow them, I'd need a tracking roll, but it wouldn't be too difficult as they were in a hurry to escape.
Crash picked at the synth flesh but even though it was on top of the man's skin, it seemed like a part of it. Almost like a callous. Peeling back the shirt, it flowed over a portion of his chest, the hexagonal shapes larger in the center of the mass and smaller around the edges. OOLIN came closer and took a look at it, but didn't recognize what the patch of synth might mean. Comparing it to her own cybernetics, it looked like it had naturally grown there instead of being implanted.

OOC:
Ah, my bad. I thought I read that and then thought I imagined having read that...

Ythindra's pride requires that she ignore Zandoran's admonishment. Instead, she focusses on Crash's find, and examines the synth flesh.

"Flying creature... too high to eat..." Crash spouts wisdom from his point of view and stays still squatting watching others look over the body trying to figure things out so he does what Crash does. He sniffs the body and licks it to mark it for 'dibs'. He sniffs the odd skin as well. He's pretty sure it's not good eats already trying to think of something useful to say at looking at it for some time. After that he'll rest for a bit.

"Well, do we want to follow the golden birds, or keep heading to Thriest? I know which sounds more interesting to me." Mig looks back up the road.
"Khoj is unreliable. Golden birds are interesting. They are either going somewhere, or running from something. I'm up for following the birds. They know something. Water flows where it will." Mig puts his chamois away and tightens his belts, indicating he is ready to move on.
Jun 2, 2017 9:24 pm
"I'm with Mig." OOLIN says simply.

OOC:
@remnant, what are you rolling for? I've thought through a number of possibilities and while I've come up with some possibilities, I'm unsure....
Jun 2, 2017 10:50 pm
OOC:
I don't think perception would apply to identifying Numenera or organic implants so Cave Man identification process? I was actually expecting you to say Crash shocked his tongue or something.
Jun 3, 2017 1:05 pm
Confused by the oddity, Ythindra stands and looks at the others. "I agree, the birds seemed interesting enough. It gives us a random goal to pursue in case these ragabouts return with reinforcements."
