"Right behind ya Cap." Flik responds as he follows her into the jungle.

Hoat strides forward, eagerly anticitpating the action soon to come.  He has spent far too long sitting on his ass getting drunk, and now iit is time for some real work.

Aralanthalas follows closely behind the others, his eyes scanning the surroundings intently, alert for anything out of place.

Glad to be off the ship and practicing his trade, Aurlin easily keeps pace with the group. As he runs, he thinks of all the pretty gems and other assorted plunder that they would nab this day. He always liked the way certain gems spar........Lost in his own thoughts, he almost looses his head to a low hanging branch. Taking a quick look around to make sure he wasn't noticed, he tries to put thoughts of treasure out of his thoughts and concentrate on what he is doing. He succeeds.............barely!

Soon enough the ground gets more solid. Less foliage, harder ground. The cap leads you through a few more trees and you start to feel the jungle heat. Soon, though you see the stone ziggurat walls of a temple.

"That's the temple lads. And if ye look close, that's the main entrance. Looks unguarded." She points. "My group follows me. Hoat, yer group goes to the right. Should be a simple enough path to follow but it'll be well guarded I bet.
If there's any further questions ask them now before we move onward."

"Seems simple enough to me, rush in grab what we want and then rush out." Flik comments.

Hoat grins with big yellow teeth,

"Aye, I'm all fer that. Cap'n, any idea what it is we're gonna be killin'?"

The cap'n takes a breath. "Yuan-Ti." she answers.

"Those are the evil snake people things right?" Flik asks.

"Evil or good, snakes or toads...........let's just get some gems," Aurlin finishes with a smile.

"If they are evil I can go all out and won't have to hold back out of the fear I might hurt an innocent." Flik replies.

"Har Sift! That'll be my way o' thinkin'!  Snakes or snake-men, their heads come off just the same! Now, is it front door or back?"  Hoat twirls his halbard in one hand, ready for action.

"Bain't a back door, Hoat. We go through that entrance there." She replys, looking ready to pounce out of cover like some kind of cat.

Zorlax nods at the captain and begins quietly casting a spell. He ends with sharp word and a pass of his hand. Slowly he is covered in a slight glow which brightens and fades from view.

OOC:Mage Armor.

Flik draws his halberd and readies himself to move once the order to advance is given. "Alright, let's test our luck." Flik comments.

Hoat nods,

  "Hokay Cap'n.  the Front door is the only door, an' I ain't much fer sneakin'.  How bout I walk over n' stir up the nest, while t' others find a place t' flank 'em?"

"Might as well. My skills involve ship to ship combat, not this infantry stuff."

"I'll join ya hoat. Zorlax and Aurlin should be able to handle giving us support fire." Flik states.

"We're agreed then. On yer way, Hoat, an' good luck." she says with a smile.

Hoat replies with a confident,"Aye Cap'n - c'mon Flick", and stands with his halbard resting on his right shoulder.  Without a hint of stealth or guile , he strides purposefully toward the 'front door' without once looking to see if Flick is following.</Red>

Flik follows Hoat to the front door.

Sighing as the warriors step off, Zorlax stays back 10 feet or so as the leaders..lead..
He waits til they get close to the door before checking it for magic effects.

"Right you are Flic," Aurlin says as he unslings his bow. He follows the new first mate, ready to provide covering fire or respond to any directions.

Hoat and Flik move forwards towards the door while Zorlax, Aurlin and Aralanthalas hang back for support. Eerily quiet, the group feels unnerved slightly at the lack of guards.
