"Or elfpower, as the case may be," said Meleth delicately. "I'm not entirely sure I like that idea, however." She sized up the pile of rocks. "If their comapny is too big it won't work. I suppose it's worth a try, though."

Midira came up next to the rock pile she found a suitable spot and waited for the others.

"Now that," said Meleth, "I agree with." She positioned herself right near the top of the pile with an old branch, ready to lever the rocks down onto the narrow trail. "Just say when."

Vasa had remained silent, their ideas were good and she couldn't think of another one.
"Rockslide it is then, Midira is right, we can't shoot in these winds." She stood next to a boulder and waited for the others to group round. "We'll have to be quick and our get away smooth."

Fwee!

Vasa waited and brung up the rear, the sun was getting higher which didn't do any them any favours. "Where are we heading? Where's our next cover?" Vasa called up to Elegost, drawing up beside him for a moment.

Vasa nodded and fell behind again, caves we're not really her thing but she had little choice. The land was hard and flat although rabbit warrens were dotted around everywhere and you had to keep yourself alert.

Caunaian listened to all of their ideas and thought them. They could work if only the conditions for them to work were perfect. But after the rockslide, he stood silently and waited for more orders.

Midira pulled out her remainign ferret she stroaked it softly as she followed her companions. " Maybe i should scout ahead?" Midira asked

"No, we should stick together, the idea of us sepatating isn't a good one." Vasa replied to Midira's comment.

Fwee!

Meleth shook her head. "Aye. If anyone or anything is coming, we can't escape them anyway and scouting isn't going to help us much. As soon as we get to that cave system we can scout around a bit." She was absently resting her hand on the hilt of one of her knives.

[I won't be here for most of the weekend, like my siggy says, so you can powerplay me if need be, and please don't get too far ahead.]

Fwee!

Vasa went up to Elegost, "I'll sit on first watch tonight." She said, hoping at he'd accept her offer so that she wouldn't have to stay in the caves.

Midira saw the mouth of the caves up ahead and thought to her self "there has to be another way " caves didnt' bother Midira it was the fear of being trapped that nawed at her.

Meleth, unusually, was completely unafraid of caves and said calmly, "There's really nothing to be afraid of. To my knowledge, these caves are not like the back-doors of goblins that pepper the mountains lower down."

Vasa smiled at Elegost's caring words and nodded before going to have a look around, anything to keep away from the caves.
