"Bandits do not stay near roads. They would be in an area that is hidden and where they could see people coming. So we need to track them quickly"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 697):
I could have him track, probably, except do we really want to spend time hunting down bandits? If they have a defended camp we could easily get injured in an ambush or trap. Their forces are broken. I doubt they'll be returning. They can even tell other bandits off. I vote we just push forward and not split forces.

In reply to Berry (msg # 699):

"They will have loot in their camp, most likely. Lots of it...and they might also have reinforcements."

I suppose if their is loot. Then she whispers Tralfaz, Tralfaz, Tralfaz, the mystical creature reappears. Tralfaz, can you track the escaping bandits back to their camp, there's loot for me and people to chomp on for you!

OOC: 23:34, Today: Berry rolled 6 using 3d6.  For summoning an ally.

In reply to Berry (msg # 701):

With a brief and muffled explosion of black smoke scented with brimstone, the shadow od a great dog appears, solidifying out of the billowing smoke. His eyes are embers, and tendrils of smoke rise from him as  he manifests.

Several of the caravan workers make the sign of the evil eye.

"Well, that's a nice pet" she says as she stands back.

"Yes! He's a good... erm, he's a good custom create animal spell. Quite impressive actually." Berry says. She laughs nervously. Right, so tracking then?

Sorsha smiles at Berry "I have some of that magic, maybe we can swap spells some time"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 705):

The scout looks at Tralfaz, and back at Berry.
"Just keep it on the other side of running water from me."

"All right, lets hunt some loot...after you Berry good puppy!"

ALright, lets get going. We earned our way so far, eh? Haveron said as he re-sheathed his weapon and grabbed his shield

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 708):

The great hound starts sniffing at one of the dead bandits, and then at the ground. He lifts his head and howls, a deep, mournful, penetrating sound that raises the hair on the back of your necks, and makes the mules buck and roll their eyes, froth forming on their lips.

The hound looks over its shoulder at Berry, then lopes up the path, pausing now and again to sniff.

In reply to Tralfaz (msg # 709):

Gareth wastes no time in following.

"Good doggy...good doggy" he encourages, either oblivious or completely nonplussed about anything unusual about the animal.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 710):

"Not sure what our caravanserai is going to say about our canine friend."

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 711):

"I have iron, silver, and orichalcum. If we need defend against Berry's faithful hound I am prepared."

In reply to Mischa (msg # 712):

"Defend against him? Why do you stereotype her friend just because his eyes glow?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 713):

"Sorsha and I have fought things before that smelt of brimstone. I trust them not."

In reply to Mischa (msg # 714):

"I have fought more humans than things that smell of brimstone, and I trust them not either if I don't know them. But I work with some of them, so I see no trouble extending the same courtesy to things that smell of Brimstone."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 715):

The great black dog continues sniffing out a trail. Is Berry accompanying?

In reply to Tralfaz (msg # 716):

Gareth is!

In reply to Tralfaz (msg # 716):

Of course, Berry is following!

In reply to Berry (msg # 718):

Var is huffing a little as he keeps pace with Berry.
"You know he is going to tear something up when he gets there. You ready for that?"
He chuckles."It is gonna get messy!"

In reply to Var (msg # 719):

"Life is messy. As long as there are bad guys to tear up, no problem."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 720):

The great black dog leads the three of you, a pair of wizards and a servant, further along the mountain pass. Somewhere behind you are the fighters in your group...
 There are signs of much foot traffic, and as you approach a spot where the right hand side rises up to match the clifflike state of the left hand side, several arrow land next to you!

In reply to Tralfaz (msg # 721):

Gareth will backtrack a little to find cover, and look for ways up the hill.
