Chapter 6 - Tracks and Traps

"Forward the Lion,

forward the Lion,

the White Lion takes the field.

Roar defiance at the Shadow.

Forward the Lion,

forward, Andor triumphant."

Running around in a wood [Adar-18]

• The group follow the tracks of the Trollocs to a copse. They then are reduced in number by one half killing the other and hiding the bodies. The Trollocs then go to the next copse and do the same thing again, the rest are then killed by one or two men wearing armoured boots. The Trollocs do not seem to have put up much of a fight but the last ones where killed with some expertise, and have "blackened-edged" wounds

• The tracks of the boot man (or one of them) lead to a dark area of the woods and then vanish. Other tracks lead off into the woods.

Strange Discussions

• Whilst the group are searching in the woods, LadyMili? attempted to buy a horse but there are none for sale, so instead she find a cart that will taker her, the first one.

• LadyMili? is introduced to boy with the caravan captain, the boy screams and runs away. DM's note: actually he went very pale in the face and stumbled, ready to faint...

• OliviaAnStein attempts to get why the boy is scared out.

• TyrgrimTorenan becomes convinced that LadyMili? is his foe and that she wishes to kill the boy. We all agree to watch the boy as he sleeps.

Some Poetry

• UzulfTzun and OliviaAnStein have a poetry compation which, much to UzulfTzun surprise, he wins.

Bad Dreams [Adar-19]

• All the sleeping folks share an horrific dream where a dark foreboding presence is hunting them through a maze of choices. TyrgrimTorenan is on watch and sees nothing.

• JacAlNorey and JeninTheArmsman, sucessfully avoid the thing that hunts them. UzulfTzun confronts it but wakes before the denouement, covered in cuts, OliviaAnStein chats it up (unsuccessfully), but learns that Ba'alzamon (as he introduce himself) really does have his 'hounds' out hunting for some 'folk trying to foil him'. The nightmare promises to extend the hunt when OliviaAnStein refuses to help.

• The dreamers awake with a start - crying foul names, which startles the Boy who goes blabbering of into the woods. TyrgrimTorenan catches him and overhears his terrified words. The boy is returned to camp, everyone eventually sleeps again.

Assasin

• LadyMili? waits for the watch to drop their guard, slips from her camp, kills a caravan guard and assasinates the Boy from high in a tree, with unnatural or well practiced stealth.

• The caravan's guard is raised by UzulfTzun and OliviaAnStein when they find LadyMili? and the guard are missing. The body of the guard is discovered in the woods, TyrgrimTorenan, JacAlNorey and JeninTheArmsman investigate it.

• Whilst UzulfTzun watches the sleeping form of the boy he notice that he has stopped breathing. On further examination he find that there is a dart in his neck covered with an evil black poison. UzulfTzun attemptes to ressucitate him with no success.

• TyrgrimTorenan becomes enraged at the death of the boy and swears to hunt down and kill the LadyMily? as a DarkFriend.
