Looks like -- oof -- it's going to be a long walk. Man, could you have packed these any lighter?" Ramili heaves her backpack to the ground with another grunt, shading her eyes from the mid-morning sun. Her small, thin face splits into a grin as she catches her employer's eye; though Trellana is in the midst of her stretches, her nose pressed to her ankle in a split, she still manages to give Ramili a withering glare that suggests she is wasting valuable air. The slight half elf laughs, flopping back onto her pack rather than the grass. Her eyes stray to the entrance of the inn, waiting for their travel companions-to-be as she picks dirt from underneath her nails. "Hey, Trell...fifty plat says they left early."

Was is disappointment, fluttering in her stomach, or just annoyance at being duped? She swallows her thoughts and focuses on her stretching, flexing her toes and folding her body to meet them.

They turn their heads and see the two departing brothers, with Kanolth waving at them as they continue on toward Freeport. In the distance they can swear that they see a smirk on the Grand Sigil's face.

"You think we'll meet up with them again later Kan? Not like we're heading to opposite ends of Antonica." He lifts himself heavily and stretches his legs a bit. "This was always one of my least favorite places to walk, too many rolling hills and not enough serious cover." He looks around at the commonlands.

He then lets out a laugh when he sees them clue in to their whereabouts. "Nah, they'll catch up. Ramili is always wanting to annoy the hell out of people and Trellana hates being ditched. They'll be at our side my noon is my wager and I'll probably get an ear... eyeful from Trellana." He then frowns at the lazy wizard. "You need to walk more and eat less, Andy. All teleporting does is lead to a sedentary lifestyle. Besides, smell the dew. And marvel at the open sky. It's not often we get to enjoy simple pleasures." Andarious can see Kan is in a very uncharacteristic perky mood.

Ramili calls back to the brothers, disappearing over the hill. She turns to Trellana, meeting the monk's oddly delighted smirk with an indignant expression, then sets off at a jog behind them, calling over her shoulder, "You gonna let them get away? Hey, you guys, wait up!"

And you know I really have to work at staying fueled up for the day. Breakfast is very important," He continues his light stretch, "It's just all the damn up and down... give me a moment." He sits down, stretches a bit more and then stops and concentrates. After that he stands and mutters something and he lifts into the air slightly. Smugly he adds, "I'm ready," as he dusts off the pair of extra boots attached to his belt. He sets off with a bit more spring in his stride than is really necessary.

Kan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a round, glowing ball, the size of a small pebble. He then mutters a key phrase and his feet too lift off of the ground. But his eyes all of a sudden display shock when his body turns upside down and he begins to ascend into the prickly branches of a nearby tree. He mutters another keyword and then the effect ends, dropping Kan to the ground. He barely manages to land on both his feet. "I have to practice using it I suppose." He jogs after Andarious.

He laughs, jogging nonchalantly from hilltop to hilltop, barely descending for the valleys, this way if he wanted to he could gain fair distance over anyone not using levitation in a short time. "I think you might want to have someone look at that levitation device of yours." After a few seconds pause for thought, "What's our goal before we break anyway? Want the city walls in our sight?"

"Aye," he calls up as he effortlessly climbs a hill, deftly jumping from rock to mound to not-so-well trodden path. "We should break for lunch when we see its silhouette on the horizon. I wouldn't be surprised if we make it there by nightfall, whether we stop for lunch or not." Kanolth would not stop under normal circumstances. He could go on all day. But this gave his hapless Wayfarers trailing behind them time to catch up.

I'm starting to slow down," this is an understatement. On several occasions he's lagged so far behind his more athletic brother that he's had to use a small scale teleportation spell to catch up, stepping through a small gate to catch up, or even occasionally put himself ahead. The city's close at this time, but it's questionable if he can see the walls even from his own vantage point.

Ramili nearly collides with Trellana, as the monk slows abruptly to keep pace with their fellow Sigils. "I guess we finally caught up, huh? Nice job giving us the split. I was supposed to wake up Trell, but I guess we overslept." She catches the monk's eye with a rueful grin, receiving a weary glance in return. Trellana rubs her temples; she'd learned the hard way early on that Ramili didn't like silence. Golden, beautiful, silence. Mercifully, the group walks quietly for a while, picking their way over the tall grasses of the Commonlands. After thirty minutes, though, the stillness of the evening grates on Ramili. "Hey, you guys are just a barrel of laughs. Who wants to play 'I Spy'? Here, I'll go first. I spy, with my little eye...something blue."

Posts: 2151 (02/20/10 11:20 PM) Sigil of the Outcast Blade Order of the Wayfarers GSW Emeritus Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Kanolth hustled along for most of the morning, and grinned in amusement when he realized his brother's slowing pace. He said nothing, instead deciding to continue on as if nothing was out of the ordinary. His stomach growls then as he descends a steep grassy slope. He pulls out his full cantina and pours the stale water out upon the rocks as he comes up to the shore of the ravine. Dipping his cantina into the frigid cold water, he turns to regard his brother who shadow steps up to him. "Aye same here," he says as he offers a curt nod. He straightens and takes a drink. "We can stop for a while if you want." He then hears noise coming from the way they came, and he grins slightly. The grin disappears at the first sound of Ramili's squawking however. "The sky," he says plainly, with a hint of agitation. "Now shut up for crying out loud, will ya? I could hear you cawing from across the Commonlands all morning." He then sighs as he turns to his brother. "Want to stop for a bite? We can take our rest over yonder!" He points to a large tree further down the ravine.

Posts: 303 (02/21/10 6:41 AM) Sigil of the Backdraft Order of the Arcane Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	He takes this all in and smiles, "The sky, really? I'd have thought my robe. I guess that's more teal though." Still winded slightly he takes a drink from a bladder of water and takes a few moments to just breathe, "That tree looks a wonderful spot, maybe out of the sun for a bit and tree's always make me a bit more at ease than hills." He begins to think back to the last time he remembers camping out on a hillside with his brother, and the local wildlife being none too accommodating to getting any real rest. That was on Luclin though, a whole other frontier, this place though the only serious threat aught to be someone specifically looking for them, which Andarious didn't mind meeting in the least. As with any threat though he certainly found himself preferring the idea of meeting them a little less famished.

Kanolth chomps on his rations while maintaining a quiet vigil on the countryside. He pulls out a small canteen and when opened, Andarious can smell the sweet whiff of spiced rum. Kan takes a swig and without looking his brother's way, he offers it to the wizard. He then pulls out his field glass and extends it to its full length. He peers through the eye piece, looking off into the distance with his keen eyes. "Interesting," he says quietly. "I spy with my little eye, an approaching caravan." He focuses his attention on the small forms that adorn the line of wagons, sitting quietly in the sunlight as the wagons roll ever onward toward the port city of Freeport. "And the wagoneers of said caravan have a questionable look about them."

Posts: 313 (04/03/10 5:36 PM) Sigil of the Backdraft Order of the Arcane Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	He takes a swig of the canteen unquestioningly, "How questionable are we talking here?" He hands the canteen back, and starts digging through his pack for some food, grabbing some biscuits and offering one, "Are we talking questionable like they might be mercenaries or questionable like they might be trading things not usually for sale?"

"I am thinking questionable as in they don't look like wagoneers. Probably mercenaries.... Which means they're probably trafficking illegal goods into Freeport." He then smiles at his brother. "I don't know Andy, this might be an opportunity to legitimately get through Freeport's gates. That's if we can make friends with that sort, of course. What say you?"

Ramili calls, impatiently brushing hair out of her working eye. She stops halfway between the group and the caravan and cocks her hip, grinning at Andy and Kanolth. "What are you waiting for?"

Posts: 314 (04/08/10 5:41 PM) Sigil of the Backdraft Order of the Arcane Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Andarious looks through the glass, then nods, and after the outburst puts hand over his face, "Pretend you don't know us Trell. It might work, just for this trip. Find out what you can as who you are, people tell secrets to someone who doesn't speak much... and then there's Ramili." He sighs audibly. "Sound like a decent plan Kanolth? We do things our way, they do it theirs, we compare notes at the end of the ride." He shrugs, the silks of his robe flowing as he does so. Then he points off into the distance, "If you like it, we can come out from over that ridge to appear as a separate party."
