You are joined by what looks like a female elf in heavy armor, who is also sent by Warden Threvassius, who thought just the two of you could use some backup. She is dismayed at Aldemaar's death, leaves some notes in his bowers about how he died, and then buries him, with or without your help. After that she joins you all to be on your way.<br/><br/>After travelling to the village locale, you take some time to confirm the location of the village, before entering the undergrowth near one of the wooded areas. It is dusk by now and assuming your escaped enemy from earlier was from the force occupying the village, they might be aware of your proximity.<br/><br/>The undergrowth is heavy and clings to your armor, especially for Senna, and the going is slow. However, the slow progress also gives Tashiel more time to look around, and she spots the watchhouse in the tree close to one of the paths with ease. Within is an orc and one shadowy figure in some dark robes within, it is hard to tell what is the nature of the figure. It might even have been the same one who fled from them earlier.<br/><br/>Well, important thing is, you figured out who are those closest to you, most likely to see you. Now, you just need to identify the cover most likely to conceal you from their watchful eyes and just conti...<br/><br/>Somehow, both Senna and Tashiel slip up, the sound alerting the sentries. The orc drew a crossbow, training it towards their direction, while the hooded figure seemed chanting something, perhaps casting a spell.<br/><br/>==========<br/><br/>OOC : Combat has not yet started. They are about 10 squares away from you but you have cover, and it is difficult terrain all around. They are up in a tree about 5 squares off the ground, with cover also from the house. You can decide what to do in this situation, it will not be too difficult to get out of range of their attacks from their currently stationary position.<br/><br/>You guys can also decide which of the 3 wooded sections you are going by, else I will default to one of my choosing next post. In addition, I was going to post how you alerted them, but the rolls were both so hilariously bad I thought you guys may want to post it.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2017-04-02 04:10:52, Melendrith (uid: 61033) rolls: 2d20 Result: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=101569)<br/>Perception for Senna then Tashiel. 4, 19<br/><br/><br/>Roll Result: Melendrith rolled: 4d20<br/>Comment: Stealth.
