Willow: The assassin, archer, cleric, and brawler lead you west through a forest, and through three-quarters of a mile worth of flatland. They then take you north into a mountain. Near the peak, you find a camp full of Red Army soldiers. There is a tent near the middle that is noticeably bigger than the rest. You assume this to be the general's tent.
Layla & Mazurn & Apollo & Nyx: After Mazurn realizes that all of the Reds left, Nyx and Layla lead you—together—after Willow and the Reds. Once you pass through the forest, it becomes harder to remain unnoticed, but you somehow pull it off. Once you get to the mountain, you take an alternate path to the peak that you hear the Reds muttering about, saying that it should be blocked. Once you reach the peak, you find a nice little natural trench from which to watch the goings-on of the camp. You see Willow being led toward the biggest tent of all: the one right in the middle. You all assume that this tent holds some importance, considering that the Reds are leading Willow to it.
Willow: "In," the assassin says, pointing to the large tent.
Leina & Branwen: If you would like to be with the party, simply say that you followed them in your next post. If not, then make it obvious in your next post that you are still in Nayk. Thank you.

I make sure to whisper quietly. "As much as I'm itching to charge in there, snatch Willow, and beat the living hell out of her... I'm not that stupid."

"Well... Don't be so quick on the beating; she may have just taken a pretty steep risk to help us." I whisper as I start sweeping my vision arond to look for guard movements, trying to get a feel for the camp's size, and trying to find out what kind of forces (mages, cavalery, etc.) they possess.

I decide to try using my enhanced hearing, and I swivel my ears trying to get them into just the right position to hear what's going on in the tent.

Layla: The guards seem to be focused on the big tent and the path that Willow and her escorts took up the mountain. The camp is roughly one-eighth of a mile wide. They have mages, archers, brawlers, swordsmen, assassins, and others. Though their primary forces consist mostly of swords, axes, and hammers.
Nyx: You hear the assassin say, "In," to Willow. The tent seems to be relatively quiet. Perhaps the inhabitants aren't in?

I whisper, "Can all of you do me a favor and try to keep as quiet as possible? I'm trying to hear what's going on in there." I continue to focus on the tent.

I had nodded to Apollo with a smile at his hair flick in the bar before listening intently on Nyx and Layla's conversation. Once they decided to take off I silently stood up, drank the rest of my wine and followed them through everything. I decided to stay silent the entire time and just listen. At times like this it was usually best.

Nodding her head, Willow entered the tent without looking back.

I nod to Nyx and remain quiet, looking around the camp to try to judge what kind of cover is available if we decide to attack.

As I had been ridiculously thirsty, I simply sat drinking very diluted beer and listening intently to everything. I smiled at Leina and Apollo as they cheered me with their comments and joking, and smiled shyly when Mazurn walked in, making myself appear busy drinking. As we chase after Willow, I gently and protectively lead Irene along, scratching her behind the ears lightly and playing with her hair along the way. "I wonder if we can raid some clothes...I'd really like to sleep as a human tonight, unless there are some very thick blankets. Say, are we going to find a good place to settle down for the night after this? It's getting pretty dark..."

I begin to survey the area for accessible cover that we can use for cover to make an advance safer. Had it not been for Willow's presence in the camp, I would have recommended a barrage from the two mages, but the risk of friendly fire was too great at the moment. I'm still assuming that Willow isw friendly although I'm still wary of the chance for betrayal.

I look at Irene and whisper, "I think your hearing is a bit better than mine. Can you help me listen in on them?"

Willow: Inside the tent, you find a man in red who is so well-decorated that it is impossible for him to be anything less than the general, though possibly higher. He gestures for you to sit in a chair. "Welcome," he says. "What is your name?"
Apollo & Layla: Not much cover is available beyond the trench you are in. Though this appears to be due to manual modification of the area.
Branwen: Irene takes your ear-scratching and playing with her hair quite well, purring quite a bit. In fact, you end up having to remind her to keep quiet.
Nyx: Irene nods and listens in. "A man is asking for her name," she says.
Everyone: For reference, it is about 3:00 P.M. in the game world. Thus, there are still several hours before dark.

I move so that I am crouched closer to Apollo and speak softly to him as I look about at the camp to see where people are positioned and just to get a thorough sense of my surroundings. "So... You seeing anything of great use yet?" I had no clue why, but I was terribly bothered by complete silence.
