Caesi nodded in agreement to the man being healed first before they went to investigate what exactly was going on. She stood by and watched as the healer began her task at healing the man the best she could, though the area was not suited to mend him completely. Instead the healer had the ravaged man transported to the River Flower.
The red-head healer questioned her about wanting to go, Caesi simply nodded her head, “If a fellow Drykas is in need, we must go.” She said on a whisper, looking out at the plains. The healer was reluctant, but agreed to go along. Caesi herself was a bit wary to traverse out in the plains with the possibility of a Grass Bear being out there. The need to help a fellow Drykas out, if he was still alive, was greater then her fear however.
The healer finished getting ready for the ride, sending the boy to the River Flower to assist. She pulled the hood over her red-hair, then turned from atop her Strider to address everyone in the group. She warned all not to engage with the Grass Bear, that they would only go to see what is really going on. Caesi nodded in agreement with the healer, “Only to investigate.” Caesi said to the woman and the group.
She walked over to her own strider, mounting the mare. Checking that her Shortbow was with her and her Quiver was full at her back. She checked the Yvas bags for her dagger and wetskin, then nodded at her Hunting Dog Nu, “Protect.” She commanded the dog, who snorted through his nose and bulked up his muscles slightly.
She watched as the other's prepared, except for one. The blue man was with out a horse, which would be fatal if they had to make a fast get-away. Naiya however took the man to her Pavilion so he could mount up as well, which eased the tension in Caesi's shoulders. She did not want any of them not prepared, one never knew what would happen out in the plains, especially if a Grass Bear was involved.
When Naiya and Quzon returned, they were all packed and ready to go. Naiya's belly was swelled with her pregnancy. Caesi was nervous to take Naiya along, not wanting any harm to come to her unborn child, “Take it easy Naiya.” Caesi said softly, worried about the woman. Caesi turned and looked over at Jasmine giving her a weak smile, making sure the blonde woman was prepared as well.
Once everyone seemed ready to go, Caesi exhaled a bit loudly, “Let us go.” She said simply, clicking her tongue and urging her Strider into trot. Nu following behind her as they headed to the plains, once in the plains she spurred Pyxis into a gallop, the powerful mare's hooves striking the ground ever so often, as they tore through the plains in the direction the man had indicated. Caesi was too nervous to talk, she just wanted to ride and find out what was going on, then go back. She hugged her legs against her Strider, keeping close attention to her body movements and facial expressions, she peered back at Nu making sure he was still trailing along the group. The dog looked alert, taking her command seriously as his large paws tore at the ground.
A misting of rain started up once more. It wasn't hard drops of rain just yet, just the annoying mist that tickled your face and seemed to stick to your hair and clothes in multiple droplets. Caesi swiped at her nose, the mist tickling it slightly.
This was when Amunets horse started acting differently. Caesi saw her horse from the corner of her eye and frowned, looking down at her own Strider she saw how the ears laid back flat, the horse nickering nervously, and the poor mare's neck tensed up.
She slowed her Strider down, holding her hand up for the group, gesturing, Stop , with her hand. Pyxis patted the ground softly but nervously, as she curled her upper lip up, sensing something up ahead. Caesi looked where Pyxis was and a vague outline appeared of a wagon that was turned over on it's side, with two large Grass Bears stalking around it angrily. They swiped and pounded at the wagon with their massive paws, in frustration. Caesi could not see but one body, which appeared dead and shredded. Caesi turned her head looking back at the group, her eyes wide with fear, “What do we do?” She whispered behind her, gesturing the words with her hands for those who may not of heard her soft whisper.
She clicked her tongue for Nu who was snarling quietly, but came to her staring out in the distance. With Nu looking ahead she turned her Strider around to better see Jasmine, Naiya, Amunet, and Quzon. They needed to plan what they should do next, there could still be someone out there, who needed help. The possibility may be slim that they were even alive still but it was still a possibility they needed to consider. “Any suggestions? We should all decide not just one of us.” Caesi said simply, telling them they all needed to state their opinion on what to do, she gave a look at Quzon, “You too, opinion, Grass Bears..What we do?” She asked the blue-hued man in common so he could understand better. Caesi did not mind being a leader, it was in her nature, but she was not that reckless to go engage Grass Bears with out a strategy or plan. Everyone's opinions would be heard and then they would all make a decision as a group as to what to do, not just one, but all of them.
GRASS BEARSDo NOT engage the Grass Bears! I have to send a PM to Prophet before we do anything with the Grass Bears first. The next posts can be about organizing, planning, arguing, debating, strategizing, whatever. Just please do NOT engage the Grass Bears, thank you .
PLAN/STRATEGYIf any of you would like to discuss a plan of offense/defense PM me and we can start a Plot Thread. If you would rather do this in writing and let it come together through words and our PCs that is awesome too! I don't mind doing it the latter way, it would be more challenging, but it is up to all of you. Just let me know .
