As midnight passes, all is quiet in the camp. The sentries play cards in their towers, not really paying attention; after all they are only miles from the capital itself, nobody is going to attack them here. Down below in a secluded area of the camp, a group of escapees gathers, The Callvalers, Aldoran, Renhoc and Sylvanus, the Prince and Princess and a veteran named Albrecht. "Alright, glad everyone made it" Aldoran whispers, "We are going to be using that gatehouse there. Arya will teleport into the tower and disable the sentries, and open the gate. When she does so we must run as fast as we can to the horses I have tethered, there is enough for one between two so know who you are to share with. Once mounted we will ride into the forest, and make for the coast, where Arya has a small ship waiting." Erandil frowned "She isn't going to kill them is she? They're just doing their job." Aldoran shook his head "No, merely send them to sleep or unconscious with magic. Now, are there any questions about what we're doing?" |

"What if there are more guards? They are likeley to notice the gates opening and so we may face resistance. Is there a plan if we are caught or if we have to split up?" |

ooc: lol oops - that was subconscious, I'll change it to Galahad, no wait  Helmrich"If caught, we will have no other option but to fight, the punishment for desertion is death. However, Arya is disabling every sentry within a five tower radius, and those in the center of the camp - so pursuit is unlikely to reach us. Unfortunately we will be moving slower than any would be pursuers, as our horses are carrying extra weight. Upon separation, make for the coast, near to the Rock of the Old Man (a well known landmark - you know where it is, oh yes you do). Just keep heading in the direction we set out in and you will hit the coast. Now come, we must not tarry any further. There is Arya's signal." Aldoran motions at a small light flashing at the top of the closest tower and the gate begins to open. "Go!" Aldoran urges as he breaks for the horses along with Helmrich. Erandil follows, taking the reins of a horse and leaping upwards onto its back. He was glad he'd practiced fast mounting earlier. Alex and Alice run to their horse, Alex helps Alice onto the back before climbing up himself. Aldoran and Helmrich mount a horse and turn it towards the gate. (so that we don't have to wait for ages for the one person not on/busy I'll get everyone else on their horses) Reika runs forwards, grabbing hold of a horse and climbing up, glancing behind her and giving the others a look that could have spurred a sloth into action. Mia ran forwards and took up seat behind her, leaving Wisp to climb on behind Erandil. Sylvanus and Renhoc took the final horse and mounted, Renhoc at the reins. As the gate fully opened, the ive horses galloped into the night, leaping branches and ditches. After ten minutes of galloping, Aldoran gave the signal to slow and give the horses chance to rest at an easier pace. Arya, who had until now been running at the group's side, ran closer. "I will run ahead and make sure all the preparations for our swift departure by sea have been made. See you all soon, take care" she says, raising her voice so the whole group can hear before increasing her pace and running on towards the coast. Edited by Shining Angel, Dec 8 2008, 03:42:25 PM.

"Go you dumb horse go! Sylvanus, turn around, you gotta be the tail gunner." Renhoc goaded the horse faster. He had no intention of getting caught or seen, and having Sylvanus that close to him for too long was not an appealing concept. |

Reika shifted uncomfortably as the she started slowing the horse down. She hated the idea of having someone behind her. And while she was glad it was Mia (opposed to any of the others) her mind kept playing images of being attacked from behind. Reika also hoped they wouldn't get seperated, since although she had heard of The Rock of Old Man, she herself had never been anywhere north of Callvale. But then again since it was such a famous landmark she guessed she could stop and ask questions. Mia suddenly squeezed Reika's arm, causing Reika to twitch as she forced herself to not knock Mia of the horse. "We're falling behind" Mia stated hesitantly. Reika looked forward and noticed they really were well and truly behind. Reika sighed she had been thinking so deeply she had lost sight of her surroundings. It was clear Mia had spoken since it was absolutely necessary. |

Aldoran noticed Reika fall behind and ordered the group to slow to let her catch up, after a few minutes at a slow walk she did so, and the group were able to move faster again. An hour passed, and hoofbeats could be heard in the distance behind them. "We now face a choice, we either urge our horses to sprint to the coast, which is only 10 minutes at a gallop - or we hide and let our pursuers pass, hoping they don't spot us. I would like a group opinion on this, it is my own that we should run, for if the soldiers reach the coast and we are missing, they will likely backtrack, and taking a detour would cost us time, as well as possibly get us lost in this forest. At the worst we will be caught just before we reach the coast, when Arya and the elves on the ship can come to our aid. However, if the majority wish to stay and hide then I will submit to that." Aldoran said, slowing so as to enable easy conversation. Erandil glanced behind them automatically, although the horses were not in sight by far, the sound of hoofbeats could not be mistaken, and it sounded like a lot. "I vote we run for it, I can't just sit and hope that they don't see us - its too risky in my opinion." |

"Aldoran," Renhoc called to him, "You are too soft an old dottard, taking a group vote on everything. We run for it!" Renhoc urged his horse faster. |

Aldoran shook his head "Well, there'll be no stopping him now, me must do our best to keep pace" he sighed, before urging his own horse on. The Prince laughed, "I have no problem with that, it makes it more fun, more adrenaline!" his little sister clung to him harder, "But more scary as well, cause..." she says before their horse gallops out of earshot. Erandil urges his horse on, not wanting to be left behind, but not as fast as the others - making sure Reika and Mia aren't left trailing. |

Reika shook her head, as she too urged her horse on, hiding was what her enemy did, and she'd be damned if the tables turned on her. But still how daft was Aldoran to take a group vote when they could still hear their pursuers. And less importantly how much did the pursuers know? Ah well good bye Cordelia, she thought to herself. |
