"Nothing is quite like a slug to the chest." Ron instinctively picks up his pace, hardly thinking about it. "Aren't we just checking the town to see if we can get an FOB up?"
Richard completely loads his buckshot cylinder, but still doesn't chamber a round, "Tell you what Glitchy, well, Gearstrip was it? If lead gets tossed, I'll stick behind you and watch you back, cool?"
((Remember, you can all opt to fast forward while traveling)) "We should arrive at the city by sundown tomorrow. Ideally, there will be no delays..."
((Zoomninja: "Nope, not watching this." *Hits >> button* )) ((I basically opted to fast forward until a major event happens))
((We wait on the decision of the others. Otherwise, I automatically skip after they finish a conversation))
@Dipdoo Demina- You've been following them for the past fifteen minutes in this relatively comfortable weather... You think you've been spotted... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Scout group- "Uh oh... We've got company..." Says thorny, gesturing to a figure trailing your group.
"Didn't know they did avali slave trade though... Hey! State your name and business!" He calls out... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey! State your name and business!"
"Demina Eir, expedition scientist! Tagged along for studies and routing!" She waves and gives an excited smile. --------------- Ron looks over his shoulder, still moving forward. "Great, a bookworm on a soldier's mission..."
"Unfortunately, we seem to be too far away to send her back with a realistic chance of her making it."
"We're not that far out, besides, she seems to like how cold it is." He shrugs. "What do the rest of you think?"
"We need all the extra help we can get. If she's a scientist, then she may be of use. I've packed extra sleeping gear, so she can sleep outside assuming there's no storm. I'm assuming you all brought extra food as I have?" A few affirmations. Gearstrip seems a bit down. Must not have brought it.
"Sleeping outside is fine by me." She pulls out her data-slate and holds it high, tapping the few containers around her waist. "I can map things out and take samples as we go!" --------------- "We do have more than we need. I'm up for it."
"Besides. If she does die, I know a mean dish I could make!" Says thorny... "I call the rest of the remainsss then." Says Chlauri... "Please, if she dies she gets a proper burial... It's settled. Let's go..." Growls Sklod. ((No activity means I fast forward)) ---------- You March on through the day, sundown coming sooner than expected. "Alright, we camp here." "But we aren't tired at all! We can keep going!" "The less tired the better we are with shifts... There are apparently many things that come at night, so the more awake we all are the less likely we lose someone..." ((Vote time)) You could either stay here and camp until moonset, or keep going until exhausted...
