Re: Operation: Graystone #27
Laurel trudges beside their small caravan back to Eagles Nest. She is tired and disappointed in herself. She is finally met with relief when the familiar ascent to the Keep is seen. Once there she assists however she can in preparing for the night and is glad to see that Eagles Nest has remained ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #26
Once Laurel is done searching the goblins pockets and helping to move bodies she will try to put herself to work doing something more suited to her skill set. The first thing she will do is help to identify the markings on the boxes and then sort them accordingly. After that work is done she will ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #26
Laurel sees the next group of hobgoblins fall, and she quickly moves forward to do her task. Then to her side she hears a battle cry rise from a small army of dwarves! The hobgoblins also see this and move to engage. Laurel squints at the illusion, not sure if this is salvation or a joke. In very ...

Re: Operation: Graystone #25
Laurel pulls her dirtied dagger from the neck of the hobgoblin which she had just put out of its own miserable existence. She considers cleaning it before re-sheathing it, but instead tosses it onto the roof of the wagon. Deftly and cat-like she shimmies up the supporting beam and pulls herself onto ...

Laurel keeps the shield at bear but struggles because she is unaccustomed to the weight. After what seems like an eternity of pressing forward (probably only 5 minutes but hey, this shield is *heavy*) Erisciana gives her orders.
