@TheDarkOne
Sancireph, you sense no lingering Aasimar presence beyond your own. You are relieved by this.

@mrz84
Zataka, you can't seem to locate either the RANGER or the DRAGOON.

@Xyvol
Malichor, you try to put a name to the sensation you are feeling from the forest, but it feels entirely unfamiliar to you. Still, your expertise in certain styles of magic is limited. Perhaps it is a power you haven't had the chance to experience firsthand, or perhaps it isn't magic at all.


@mrz84 @TheDarkOne @Xyvol
Zataka, Sancireph, and Malichor
you briefly discuss your next destination. Zataka is interested in pursuing the crossbow thief across the plains to the EAST, but suggests you go NORTH first to the city to procure supplies for the journey. Malichor, on the other hand, seems drawn to the forest and suggests you head SOUTH.
With the late hour, you agree that perhaps you should head to the city to at least spend the night so you can set out fresh in the morning.
You find an inn at the edge of town. A single light is on, which you can see through the door. The desk is unmanned with a note: "Please leave 10 gold on the counter and help yourself to a key and some refreshments - Management"
You each take a room and rest for the night. A few hours into your sleep, you feel the ground quake. It's coming from outside.
What do you do?

@SUCCESSOR
Reven, you follow the pulsing sensation south to the forest, coming to the treeline after a short walk. Before you enter, though, you sense something behind you. Turning around, you find that it is the DRAGOON. Did he follow you here? He seems just as startled as you.

@bigjoe
Jerias, you set off towards the forest with Atticas, feeling drawn to the danger. The shadows of the night seem to twist in front of you, but after a few moments you realize it is not a trick of the light but rather another being moving in the same direction. It turns around and you recognize that it is actually the RANGER from before. How did he do that?

@SUCCESSOR @bigjoe
Reven and Jerias,
You stand at the mouth of the forest. Strange, the trees have grown in such a way that you can only enter from the footpath before you. A cloud of smoke rises from somewhere beyond, its scent medicinal and its purpose unclear. As you enter the forest you notice silence. Even in the dead of night, shouldn't there be night predators stalking the treetops? There is no motion here, and your instincts tell you to dread. You hear a slight rustle. ...Something is stalking you. As you journey deeper into the forest the sensation grows, but you can't place it.
Reven, you step on a snare trap and are abruptly hoisted up into the air, suspended by one leg.
Jerias, while trying to help him the pile of leaves beneath you gives way into a pitfall, trapping you in a hole. The sides of the pit are too soft for you to climb out with your claws.
You can hear something approaching. Its footsteps shake the ground as it walks. How did this thing get the drop on you?
What do you do?
