Namdar's already creased nose wrinkles up more at the smell of smoke. He slows and looks around at the others.
"I think some of us should head on up and take a look, the rest of you stay back here and keep yourselves out of immediate sight until we find out what lies ahead."
With that, he creeps off, followed by anyone else who wants to do the same, while everyone else does whatever they're going to do (make sure to post your actions, anyone that is doing anything).
OOC: Given that Thomas will be gone for a week or two or possibly longer (hope not), I think now is as good a time as any for Ryorst to rejoin the main group, and let Lionel stay at the Duke's presumably doing royal political hooha and advancing the story whatever way that he's able to that way. Definitely would also be good to have another player for Oliron's game as well.
Aive will appear from the bushes somewhere and whispering in a manner suggesting they all should be by now.
He offers to go off and scout with Namdar, but suggests the party keep moving just slowly and cautiously, as no one can hear the fire and the wind is blowing the smoke our way it could still be quite some distance.
He shows the signal whistle that is around his neck, "I will blow this if I or Namdar am in need of help otherwise I will keep moving forward in front of you until I find something and return to let you know", then he disappears back into the bushes.
15, 22, Move silently

14 24 spot
9 20 listen
Will keep about 50 feet to the right of namdar,
OOC: The only thing is that Ryorst has some VERY important information. I think I'll probably just have caught up with you guys as of my post, and will tell you what I learned AFTER we deal with whatever.
Ryorst pushes his way out of the bushes off to the side, and sees up ahead of him a short way the cart belonging to one of the group. He moves forward towards it, and catches sight of a fire ahead. Turning to look towards it, he notices the group and heads over to them, quietly, but not to catch them off guard.
OOC: Hmm... Sure, I'll join the other campaign. I have quite a few going already, but one more won't hurt.
Since Ryorst is here he can catch up and like also recon part of the area so he sees more.

ooc: I'm interested to read this important information to see if it was worth the separate expedition you guys took.
* Krusten notices a figure coming out of the bush and becomes excited about testing her new found sword. She becomes disappointed after recognizing that it is Ryorst but says nothing. *
I posted this in the PL.

NAMDAR and PARTY:
Overall the party is moving forward slowly and quietly, as obscured in the bushes as they can be, while Namdar and Aive scout up ahead, using stealth, to try to get an idea of what is going on, so the party knows what they may be walking into, and can be prepared.

Oliron feels his rage well up. He is filled with it but stalks ahead, bow aimed at the group of orcs away from the woman. Looking to make sure everyone is ready he fires two shots, then drops the bow. Pulling out his sword and shield while running forward to attack the orcs on or near the pinned woman.
