Re: Operation: Graystone #31
“Greetings, I am Sir Justin Moore,” the knight calls out when he sees the scouts. “The Siege of Fort Graystone has ended and the enemy army is in retreat. Based on Intel provided by your companions it seems that some of the retreating enemy is making for the goblin lair down below. Come the dawn ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #31
Vividly those images of the battle are now burned into Ren's thoughts as he stares at the group in front of him meandering up the path. There doesn't appear to be any cover for a while so now Ren feels like he needs to make his move while there is maybe some avenue of escape. As they wind up the ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #31
At a cautious pace the group ahead advances with Ren in tow, though at this stage his focus is split. Struggling with grasping the situation he didn't notice at first as they approached a small intersectional clearing and lost in thought his foot kicks something lying on the forest floor. Glancing ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #30
With the huge looming mountains on either side, Ren realized he was in some sort of forested valley passage. There won't be a lot of room to maneuver if there are more out looking for me. I'll have to try and fall back and circle around anyone till I can get my bearings.

Re: Operation: Graystone #30
A moment of sheer and utter terror. An image of massive powerful wings spread wide. The smell of smoke and brimstone. Then all went blank. Running, fleeing, legs moving faster than they ever have before. I must get away .

As Ren approaches the fork cautiously, he quickly surveys the scene.
