Ash was covering at the other side of the wagons as the walk continued, the glare from Brand having sent him scampering. Though there were rumors about most people, the further people were from their home town the less tales of their deeds had reached this far, yet little bit of whispers of people with power spread far. Brand's appearance was familiar with a few tales, about winged demons, and knights of fangs, he was certainly in some local legends as a protector, but he had not been around long enough that Almir could say more than the townsfolk. The rumors just didn't spread so well in the times towards the end.<br/><br/>As the group of them made their ways ahead, they soon left the town's comfortable walls behind, making their way to the ashen plains the hooves of Hanali's horse left no marks in the ground, a curiosity noticed at least by Ash, but then again he had been watching the horse and the two women for a while. Cidan in turn seemed to try and push for the front, walking before the horse and the ox, watching the road.<br/><br/>"Careful, this area is full of sparklings. They look like boil-covered, red-skinned goblins, but they're aberrations. Maybe originally some goblin warred that got flooded by enthropic energy. They are, like their name suggests, living bombs." Cidan's tone was bitter at this. "If they approach, shoot them before they get close." Walking along, the formation of the party began to show.<br/><br/>In the distance the beast's ground-shaking assault continued, and Borom shivered a bit uncomfortably. "We're going by its right side, but if it notices us now we'll be in for a fight. I hate going out when there's a beast nearby, but we have no idea how long its going to camp out there. Besides, the great sage might be gone if we waited too long too." Sighing, he cracked the whip, trying to get the animals to pull the wagons faster, a bit of a panicked look on the old man's wrinkled face.<br/><br/>Ahead, in the distance, the group could see a group of three figures, cloaked in rags, moving towards the town slowly. Step by slow step, at least three hundred feet away still though.<br/><br/><hr/>OOC: The wagons occupy a 10 by 15 feet space, with the horse and ox each occupying a 5 by 10 feet area before them. Ash is moving on the right side of the wagons, at the 'back corner', while Cidan is moving ahead of the ox and the horse. I am curious how the rest of the group places themselves. Feel free to carry on some chatter if you wish, but figuring the walking order will be useful to know when trouble arrives sooner or later.
