Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
Riverwind steers the wagon into the brush 20 feet of so, just deep enough to hide it from view and returns to the back to gather his bow and quiver. He returns to the edge of the brush and looks for a target.

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
Tika starts to withdraw from the battle, backing up towards the bushes.
Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
The Clearing
Theros, Goldmoon, Laurana, Magpie, Tasslehoff and Sturm are taken to a small clearing in the woods. In the faint moonlight, they can make out a number of other humans that were rescued from the other wagon, mostly women and children. They huddle together in both fear and the chill night air. There are a number of elves about, too, keeping a close watch out.
"Wait here," the woman who led them here tells them. "If we find any of your companions, we shall bring them here. The prince will arrive shortly."
Into the Brush
Riverwind doesn't get anywhere near 20 feet into the brush before the elks suddenly rear up and stop. Squinting in the moonlight, the barbarian realizes why. He nearly crashed into some trees.
Before he can think to do much else, a pair of elves appear from the darkness. They climb up onto the wagon. "Hand me the reins," says one, a pale man with brown hair. "My people have littered the area with traps, and if you are not careful, you will ride right into one. I know the way to safety."
The Battlefield
Tika slowly backs away until she reaches the brush. Turning, she nearly runs into Raistlin. The faint red moonlight lends the wizard a fairly sinister appearance. Shortly after, they are joined by Tanis. "You alright?" he asks.
Not long after, Raven-eye, Gilthanas, Sunstar and Caramon show up, too. "Follow me," Gilthanas says. "Step only where I step, but hurry."

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
"Porthios." Laurana says quietly, "My Brother, he will not be happy with me I fear." She pulls Magpie close, making sure everyone knows the Dwarf is with her, her keen eyes darting to the brush constantly.
"Your Brother save us?" Magpie asks, turning to look at Laurana in curiosity, "Me wonder what they think of me?" She asks, allowing Laurana to hold her close, this was quite new, rather exciting really, although the battle cries had scared her. She holds on tightly to the sword she picked up and waits.

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
"Your Brother?" Sturm asks, sitting by himself somewhat, he keeps his distance from Goldmoon, as proper, instead he waits to see what happens. Hoping the others are ok.

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
Tika looks a little taken back from the sinister look of Raistlin, but she tries to overcome it easily enough. "Um, sorry," she says a little sheepishly. Turning to Tanis once he arrives she gives him a nod. "I think we are all okay," she says with a small smile. She was going to add more, but then Gilthanas shows up. Having no desire to actually stay to wait for the goblins to show up in the bush, she follows after the elf. "What about Flint?" she asks.
Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
Riverwind is not surprised by the sudden appearance of the elves, in fact he kinda expected as much. With some experiance of elvish ambush tactics, he gladly hands over the reins. "We can lose the wagon, but not the cargo, we cannot let the foe regain control of the Discs."
"Are there any of my companions still back there, if so I must go help." He slides into the back to retrieve is gear, sans armor, given the time constraint.

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
"Flint's coming," Tanis says.
"Worry not for the dwarf," Gilthanas says. "My people will lead him to safety, unless he is too stubborn to listen to them. This way."
Leading the way, the elf prince leads Tika, Tanis and the others to the same clearing Goldmoon, Sturm, Laurana, and Tas are waiting at.
"Good to see you all still alive," Tanis remarks.
"Riverwind?" asks Goldmoon, concern in her eyes.
The half-elf looks around, realizing the plainsman is not present. He glances back behind him. "I'm sure he'll be along. Flint, too."
========
"Disks?" the elf asks, having no idea what the human is talking about. He shakes his head. "Your companions are being brought to the same place we are taking you. If any more enter the woods, they too will be guided to safety." Snapping the reins, they drive the wagon off toward the clearing, whether Riverwind accompanies them or not.
(OOC: Riverwind retrieves his masterwork dwarven long sword, bow, and quiver of arrows.
By the way, does anyone want to keep the goblin weapons they picked up, or discard them when no longer needed?)

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
(Tika will probably keep the short sword she picked up.)
Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
"The Discs if Mishakal, the most important cargo of it all. Good deal, it is important we are all together."
Riverwind still keyed up from the adrenalin rush, looks about, looking for any foe men.

Re: CH 7: The Slave Caravan
Riverwind remains in the wagon, his bow at the ready, should any 'foe men' approach. However, none do. Flint does, however. "Hold up! Hold up, rust and tarnish!" he demands, pumping his legs to catch up. He manages to get to the wagon and hop up onto the back, near Riverwind. He rests there, catching his breath.
In the distance, the plainsman can sometimes hear a goblin or draconian scream or cry out when they fall into a trap. Eventually, the sounds die out altogether.
The elves drive the wagon toward the clearing, where the others wait.
