Raven put the body down and stepped back to check how easy it was to see. She glanced around the room and thought of the map "Right at the last branch" She said and started back the way they had come, making sure to have an arrow set in her bow.

Terrick nodded, hoping the elf's memory was correct. He followed quickly, letting her keep the lead.

Merek, seeing that he had a temporary advantage, tried to lunge forward before Pike could get his weapon loose, but was stymied by the bird diving toward his head. He was forced to bring his arms over his head and face to avoid letting the hawk take out his eyes. He slashed at the bird with his knife, intending to kill it.

Meanwhile Col, blood still pouring from his nose, let out an almost animal sounding growl and lunged straight at Pike, intent on knocking him down the steep steps leading into the tunnels.

As his hand closed around the wooden club, Pike looked up just in time to see Col lunging towards him. He realized in an instant what the bandit was intending to accomplish, as tumbling down the steep steps would surely alert the rest of the cave's occupants of the rescue attempt. With no alternative other than to meet the bandit head on, he threw himself forwards into Col, hoping that his greater weight and lower centre of gravity would at least prevent a very painful tumble into the cave.

Terrick nodded, hoping the elf's memory was correct. He followed quickly, letting her keep the lead.

Raven turned down the darker tunnel that led to the pit.

(OOC: Thanks! Im hope you dont mind that Tianea and Luna were friends then they had a fight and Tianea joined the bandits and Luna's gonna get revenge!)

Luna walked along knowing full well where her enemy lived. Her eyes glowed as she hurried along the corridor.

(OOC: ChickenRadio, since Luna went down the corridor with the pit, do you want to say she fell into it? Or that maybe there was a narrow ledge around the side where she could bypass it?)


As Terrick and Raven backtracked to the first branch in the cave system, Terrick was having trouble keeping his bearings. "Is this not where Luna went?" he said softly as they started down the much darker tunnel. The light from the torches in the main branch only managed to illuminate the first few feet of this tunnel, so Terrick pulled out the light-stone the elf had given him earlier and tapped it once, amazed once more as the stone brightened, allowing him to see the cave walls.

The two figures collided less than a foot from the top of the steps, but Pike managed to outpower the stocky, but underfed bandit, pushing Col backwards and away from the steps. Merek, having pushed the bird out of the way for the moment, took the opportunity to try to get the steps himself, intending to get past and alert the others...

Sprawled across the ground with Col, Pike was quickly becoming aware of the fact that keeping both bandits away from the cave entrance was more of a task then he had bargained for. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Merek making a run for it, and shoved Col out of the way to grab the battle club which had fallen from his grasp in the tussle. With it, he swung blindly in Merek's direction as hard as he could, aiming in the general direction of the bandit's legs to trip him up before he reached the entrance. At the same time he began struggling back to his feet, knowing that on the ground he was about as vulnerable and defenceless as a prairie chicken.

"No" Raven replied softly and pulled out a light stone tapping it once for a dim light.

 

[ChickenRadio]

Terrick nodded. "Behind those barrels," he pointed and moved to help Raven move the young bandit's body. It wasn't an idea hiding location, but every moment wasted here increased their odds of getting lost or trapped in the tunnels. "We've obviously gone wrong somewhere," he said as quietly as he could while they moved the body. "Do you remember the map Luna drew?"

Beao screeched and retreated as the blade went whistling past his chest. Deciding on a different approach he called to Trystal and the two flew off.

(OOC: Luna isnt going to the pit. She gave them direction's she going somewhere else.....)

(OOC: Intended or not, she sent Terrick and Raven down the left tunnel and went the other way, which is where the pit is. Even if it was a mistake, we've been going with it for the last couple pages of RP. Nothing saying there can't be some secret way through there to Tianea's chambers.)
