Leanna woke up and fixed Drec with a flat, unblinking stare. Then she arose and took up her station, keeping watch.
The elf who had joined them tapped her on the arm, pointing out a tail coming out of Drec's pack. Leanna watched for a moment, considering whether or not to bother interfering with what was likely some poor forest creature feeding itself.
Finally, she shrugged, deciding that she would indeed run the creature off. She picked up staff and went over towards Drec's pack, reaching out and giving the pack a stiff jab with the butt of her staff, figuring that would run the creature off.

She hears a squawk from inside the pack as the motions become more pronounced. The pack rolls a little ways as the internal struggles increase and a small face with a black mask pokes out the flap. The raccoon runs off into the darkness, suitably chastened.
The rest of the watch passes uneventfully as the sky gradually grows light with the approaching dawn. The sunrise scatters hues of pink and orange across everything. The sky is a faint blue.

Cassandra slept soundly. She didn't feel the morning rays on her blanket and her was hidden below the blanket. It was warm, cozy and wonderfully. She dreamed blissfully of herself as a rich and powerful woman. It was superb as she walked about in fine clothes and ate the best of foods. There was a handsome man in the distance and she was felt in love.
In her dream Cassandra couldn't see his face and she walked closer and closer trying to see the face of the man in her dream....

As the sun came up to grace the earth with its heat, Ezmi stirred, she felt vaguely confined in her sleep and she dreamed, or rather manifested a nightmare, that she was being held down by members of her own clan as they allowed the merchants to rape her, laughing and sneering at her as they did. It was such a vivid nightmare that it seemed like she could feel her assailents weight atop her, and the scent of their sweat. She struggled in her sleep, and her hands came free as she dreamed that she scratched and tore at the rapists, shrieking in hate and terror.
Her body mimicked in real life what her dream form was doing, only the one to feel the bite of her nails was poor Drec. She came awake, scratching and kicking at him, she screamed, desperate to pull away, not yet fully aware of her surroundings.

Drec:
IC: I felt a sudden scrach and then heard a scream. My reflexes quickly carried me to my feet and I had my sword and sheild at the ready in about six seconds. I was looking around for my attaker, but only found confusion amoung the party and a upset and scarred Ezmi.

The party wakes to the sounds of a scuffle. They see the sleeping Ezmi flailing madly about as Drec lifts his shield, still looking sleepy.
In spite of the excitement, neither of them seems much the worse for wear, although the rest of the party does notice that they seem to have been sharing a bedroll...

Cassandra woke feeling well rested. It had been a strange night in the forest and as she awoke she felt as if she had missed something. A strange feeling of shock and maybe jealousy went through her as she realized that Ezmi and Drec had shared a bedroll the previous night. Cassandra jumped to a conclusion.
That little slut.... Cassandra though to herself as she quickly turned away and began her own packing and getting ready for the day's travel. Once packed she enjoyed a little dried fruit and then headed to the stream.
First she drank from the edge of the water to refresh herself and then she splashed water on her face. Using her reflection in water, she removed the braids in her hair, producing lovely curls.
"Very pretty indeed" she whispered to herself.
Minutes later, she was back in camp, and ready to be on the road again.
"Let's go...." Cassandra announced to no one in particular.
Drec that crazy dog.... Surprised me again she thought secretly.

Ezmi looked about the camp with wild eyes for a moment, until it finally registered that she had only been having a nightmare. She had no words to offer her party, so she gave Drec an appologetic glance before getting up and stalking off to the edge of camp where she hung to herself until everyone was packed and ready to proceed.
She watched Cassandra go past her on her way to the stream, not even giving her a look. Ezmi was tempted to follow her, but got the vibe that she would not be graciously accepted company at the moment, for some reason that eluded her. Perhaps she was simply put off by Ezmi's foolish outburst. She looked down at her hands at that and saw that under her nails she had collected traces of Drec's skin.
Her heart twinged at the sight of it, something deep and primal in her stired, but at the same time, she felt a sence of revultion over what she had done to him. She hoped to ask his forgiveness before the day was done, if he would let her. What was she thinking, he had somehow gotten her into his bed with him! Perhaps he deserved what she had instintively done. She didn't feel as though there had been anything... Improper done to her, but how had she come to be in his bed roll with him? She was confusing herself with all her unanswered questions, and it was making an ill feeling rise in the pit of her stomach...

Drec
OOC: Ezmi is cr 1 right. Also this was a sneak atack, and he fought her alone, and solved the confict with nonviolent means. So that is how much exp.
Also maybe we should make an ooc thread.
IC: I was groggy, but realized ezmi had freaked... and been in my bed... with me... Well she seemed sorry, maybe she was cold and climbed in with me.
I rubbed the scratch across my chest. It stung but wasn't bad. So I made a mourning pilgramage to the far side of a bush. After that I had some water, jerky and nuts. Before packing and refilling my bottle.
"So who is ready to travel.

OOC: Cats, you're such an XP slut. LOL. You'll sleep with anyone just to gain a level! I don't know, what do you think DOC? Think the thread needs an OOC thread? Allowing OOC's here cuts down on a little back and forth if you ask me, and because its here, most of our OOC's are kept short and to the point. Well, except this one... LOL Its a freaking novel, but it has a point. ...Somewhere...

It doesn't take very long for the group to eat breakfast and get underway. Drec notices as he packs that one of his ration packages has been chewed open and partially eaten. There are also some pawprints on some of his gear.
OOC: Note, please keep track of your rations. 1/day. As for the OOC thread, we can have one if someone really wants it, but I'd prefer to leave it out. Cats, I'll file the encounter with Ezmi as RPXP and forget that you're trying to claim victory after being routed by an unarmed opponent... Just to nitpick (for the fun of it), unless Drec's 'leavings' are sufficiently toxic to kill the bush, it's "morning", not "mourning"
IC: While the day begins clear and sunny, clouds start to move in in the late morning. The tree line is faintly visible on the horizon, several hours walk away. The wind is staring to pick up, and it isn't as hot as the previous day.

Being raised in a nomadic life style, Ezmi strode right along with a purpose. The sooner they could arive at their destination, the better, from the looks of the weather. It would be much preferable to make it into the woods just in case it started to rain.
Though she kept along at a fair clip, she made certain to keep her eyes and ears peeled. Also, she casually looked for nuts, berried, or other edibles along the path that she might collect, as she hadn't taking breakfast for herself. She much prefered what nature could raise up over the dried and tough ration bundles in her pack. Especially while her stomach still felt ill from the outburst earlier in the morning.
(listen = 21, spot = 19 Keeping her eyes and ears open for any disturbances. Search = 17, Survival = 13 to find any prevelent edibles and be sure that they are safe to eat while we travel along.)

As the party walks along, there seems to be nobody else on the road at all today. Ezmi doesn't have a lot of luck finding easy food, although she does notice a thicket of brambles bearing some blackberries. A few are within easy reach, but to actually make a very satisfying meal of them, she would have to spend some time picking and dodging thorns.

She'll collect the few within easy reach, letting the rest of the party know of her find. If they are willing to stop and help her harvest a sizeable meal of berries, she will, otherwise, she will simply move on with the few that she picked for herself, hoping that they will be enough to hold her until they make camp again. Or she finds a more prevelent source of fresh food.

Cassandra walked with a certain impatience through the forests in the broader company of her traveling companions. Today she was lost in her own thoughts as they walked on and on.
So far.. so easy she thought to herself as they moved forward and she figured they were making good time.
Then Ezmi took a interest in some wild berries which Cassandra was only too happy to nimble on a few since they looked so tasty and delicious.
"Delicious..." Cassandra told Ezmi.

Drec:
OOC: Hey when we are payed, do we just restok rations our selves, or do we let you know? (As for the exp... redmage made me do it.)
IC: "I supose it won't hurt to stop briefly. But remember we do have a time limit, and far as we know the scroll explodes at the end of it."

OOC: Rations and equipment
If you want, you can RP your shopping (you definitely have to RP magic item purchases and other expensive stuff). However, for small stuff like rations and the like, you can just assume that some time during your downtime in the city you find a food store and buy them (at regular price).
IC: As you continue along, the clouds begin to thicken and darken, promising rain to come. You're still about an hour's march away from the forest and it's not certain whether or not you'll make it before you get wet. Most of the fields which you pass are host to unripe grain or other unready crops. There is one orchard protected by a thorny hedge. One of the trees extends out over the road and Ezmi can see a few apples within reach.

IC: "If you need food tomorow ask. I don't wish to keep stopping for food. Besides that apple likely belongs to some one, and that is why those thorny hedges are there." I looked up to the sky and wished I had placed my cloak higher in my pack. Oh well.

"Oh, I'm sorry Drec, am I slowing you down? I would HATE to be an inconvenience to you, you know..." Ezmi shot back sarcastically as she made quick work of her apple, right down to its core, which she tossed aside for the animals to finish.

Seeing the opportunity to grab a few apples, Cassandra was quick to help herself to a few without trying to trespass. She didn't see it exactly as stealing since the apples were sort of on their way and no one seemed to be around.
Cassandra in turn took a quick bite and looked at Ezmi as she announced:
"Oh my... This one is a little tart.... But tasty!"

Leanna adjusted her own cloak's hood as she looked up, her sapphire blue eyes tracing the cloud formations. She was no expert on weather patterns, but even she could smell the moisture in the air and realize what the clouds meant.
"We should continue to press forward," Leanna said firmly. "We will want to reach the shelter of the trees before the down pour comes."
She shook her head at Ezmi's food gathering. She didn't particular care about who's apples they were originally, but dawdling about seemed wasteful to her, with gold in the offing. Leanna was looking forward to finishing this chore off quickly.

The apples are actually a fair bit faster than the blackberries. The party manages to make it to the edge of the forest just as lightning splits the sky and a roar of thunder rolls across the plains. Rain quickly begins to fall in large drops. You have some shelter under the trees, but if the deluge continues, it will be a wet evening.
OOC: By the way, from this point on, I'd like Spot and Listen checks from each character every day and every night (game time). If I need checks and you haven't posted them already, I'll roll for you (Which could be a good or a bad thing depending on my luck vis-a-vis yours)

Cassandra stood under the foliage of a large tree and watched the pouring rain and flashes of lighting. It was a beautiful sight for Cassandra as she watched the power of the skies unleashed upon the earth and mountains. She considered pressing on despite the rain and lightning.
[I}So we get a little wet.... But then again... If someone falls sick... That could ruin our bonus money... Unless we leave them where they fall...[/I] Cassandra thought secretly as she felt a few drops of rains that had evaded the leaves and struck her. She looked around at the trees and listened to sounds of the forest.
"How much further need we travel?" Cassandra asked her traveling companions.
