You all march on to the city. When it comes within a mile walk, it's sundown. Demina and Cain both feel exhausted...
"Aww, come on, it ain't that far away, and I don't want to spend any more time out here than I have to.."
"Yes, but that is supposedly where the creatures took off to... Do we really want to be sleeping in their territory without knowing more?"
"The quicker we get in and out the better. I say we clear a zone on the edge and camp then." --------------- "I can't remember the last time I marched this far in one go... We shouldn't rush in tired, let's give it another night."
"Yeah. We should be fully awake if we go into a battle. It would also be optimal if we go in with some light. I'll help with the first shift."
You all set up camp and finish off your ration bars... In the night, Malcolm catches wind of something... He can hear it, shuffling through the snow towards the camp... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @themushroomlord You can smell it... Sapient minds... Nothing like the fungal swill of these accursed Mi-go, but real, flesh minds... Not elder thing though... Much... Stupider... Like, a lot... Probably not too much smarter than a slave-shoggoth... They're about a mile away from the city...
Thorny, being the sun-fueled plant he is, slowly stirs... "Whassat...? I've not rested yet... What's happening?" Luckily, the others are all awake when you shout... Except Demina... @Dipdoo @Omicron445 @HunterC1998 @Dragonclaw
"What is it this time?" Ron hops up and rushes outside with shotgun in hand, looking in the same direction as Malcolm. --------------- Exhausted Inn, one room occupied.
"There's something out there." He points on the general direction of the noise. "Thorny, I believe you are our best shot."
"It's awful damn dark to be rabbit hunting out here!" He says that in an arguing tone, but he still follows.
Cain does his stretches, preparing for the day ahead. He notices the party chasing something, and grabs his nightstick and pulls his cloak over his head and runs after them.
Trakith walks into the encampment, "Haha, I knew I'd find them here! They told me!". The Hylotl walks into the camp and begins searching for someone of authority. The creature begins slowly making its way towards the camp.
