**Thygor**<br/><br/>It is all too easy to keep orientation, even in the unfamilair woodland. The 'bowl' the forest makes would eventually lead right back to the group if it was simply followed, and walking around the outskirts was incredibly simple.<br/><br/>What was not simple, however, was keeping track of the little furry creature that was tailing him. Initially, he'd seen it out the corner of his eyes once he'd stepped out of cover, but mere seconds afterwards, the thing simply seemed to vanish. It was no doubt still following him, but the odd, casual glance around did nothing to reveal it's location, and it was all too easy to imagine why. The creature's clothing, size, and fur coloration all worked out to it's advantage, and it was CLEARLY good at what it did, even in the short grass.<br/><br/>Steering clear of the occupied building was a good call as well, and it was done with relative ease - sticking close to the forest's edge provided plenty of foliage, most of it tall enough to even partially hide his tall, stalking gait. Of course, the added fact of one of the two who'd been standing outside vanishing inside the building meant less eyes able to spot him anyway - all in all, it was a win/win situation.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>((<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/257848">Zzzz...</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+1</span><span style="font-weight: bold">10</span>Will save Vs sleep...nighty night time...D: ))<br/><br/>Dart felt his pulse quickening in excitement, the prospect of stealthily taking down the big guy with a single, well-placed bolt filling his head with illusions of grandeur. Of course, he was not suicidal - his little crossbow, he knew, would come nowhere near close to felling the big lizard unless he managed a hit in something vital, like an eye, or the beasts throat or heart.<br/><br/>It didn't keep him from DREAMING though, did it? Still, without intentions to actually engauge the big beast, and no need to ring the alarm as he was actually heading further AWAY from the farmhouse, and had not seemed to find his friends outside...well...all that was left was shadowing him long enough to make sure he was, indeed, gone. Later, he could return and report, just for everyone to keep an eye out, but if it had no knowledge of their location, he did not want to bring it right to the door of their little operation.<br/><br/>Suddenly, he stumbled, his legs growing weak, exhausted. Eesh - crouching down so much and walking in so many circles around the homestead must have REALLY been taking it out of him.<br/><br/>Again, he stumbled, as overwhelming wave of fatigue shooting through his mind, threatening to make him collapse on the spot. All at once, his heart began to thunder in his chest - this feeling! It was something Aniel had done to him before! He KNEW it!!<br/><br/>AMBUSH!<br/><br/>Fighting against the urge to simply collapse, Dart fumbled for his crossbow, removing the bladed tip and frantically scrambling for one of his whistle-bolts, his eyes fearfully scanning the grass and trees around him.<br/><br/>THERE! In the trees! A big spider-woman! Oh by the gods themselves, it was a trick! They were here to take over the well, exactly as the White Wings had done a couple of days prior!<br/><br/>He had to warn them! He had to...!<br/><br/>Pulling a whistle-bolt from his pouch, he weakly begins to fit it into the crossbow, his fear-filled eyes gazing directly at the spider-woman just barely visible in the trees! He just...had to warn them...<br/><br/>...IF only he wasn't so tired....<br/><br/>As much as he wanted to fit his bolt into the crossbow, his fingers no longer seemed to want to respond. As much as he wanted to shout for help, he was just too TIRED. Maybe..just a single moment's rest, and he could....<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Cyria sees the fennec fox stumble back and forth, trying desperately to keep his feet...and finally, seems to give in, collapsing onto his back without so much as a peep as her spell fully takes hold, sending the little fox into a fitful sleep filled with nightmares of horrible dragon-creatures and vicious spider-ladies, all seeking to end his life...
