Act 1, Scene 1: "Through the Undergrowth" (Main Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

Under his breath "A gnome... what are you thinking Signa."
"Let's prepare for the night. In the morning I'm sure the Minotaur will be able to get moving."

[Chris1234]

When the group reach the resting place Linar squeezes Garrosh's arm and says, "Sleep, now. Told you, got your back. He will keep watch over his beefy companion for 4 hours before handing over watch and settling down to rest himself.
During his watch, the dark elf tries to cast cleaning cantrips on both himself and Garrosh.

[Jenara]

"We move now, this not a suitable place to rest, Bull man can walk, not fight. We have numbers." Drawing her bow once more she prepares to leave. "Indindien and Dillosel with me and Dran. Bull Man in Middle. Linar and Noctourno lead behind me."

[Nocturno]

Used to the order of the city Militia Nocturno falls into line and has his hand on his longsword as they walk.

[TristenC]

Earierl directs the civilians into the center and posts Hew and Tag to either side as she covers the rear. The small folk stay near the humans, but around them so they can see. Elden takes one side with Tag.

[Any other tasks/orientations before the group heads out?]

[Jenara]

(Exactly how Katten planned)

[Chris1234]

Linar remains silent but complies.

[ausie]

Garroth looks at Katten... "Lead on Cat-Girl.. and my name is Garroth.. you don't like being called Kat or Cat Girl any more than I like bull-man.. Call me Gaz.. most of my friends do.."

Garroth gets to his feet and hobbles along using the mail as a crutch..

[Nocturno]

Once in movement formation:
"How did you come to follow The Protector?" directed at Linar.

[Squirrellord]

Jordek will watch the group head out and discreetly follow at a distance, curious but the unable to overcome his unease at being around that many people.

[Chris1234]

"Through crafting mainly," replies Linar. "Do you craft?"

[Nocturno]

"Crafting no, my life has been dedicated to protecting my Community. From straightening out bullies when a child to fending off this goblin invasion as a young adult. It seems like I have had a sword in my hand as long as I could walk." Nocturno will sigh.

[Jenara]

"Actually in the Tongue of Menn Cat-Girl woud be correct." Katten winks, "I am a Cat Girl, you are a Man Bull, is that not what your race are called by some?" She asks before taking the lead. "I then you are Bull man no more." She bows and turns away.

[ausie]

"I would laugh if it didn't hurt so.." Garroth grimaces.. "I like cats too..."

(Thoreau meows at this.)

[Jenara]

Katten gives a little giggle into her hand and grabs the Gnome by the shoulders.

"You walk with me small one. Tell me how you became friends with Spisse Eared." When he looks blankly she adds. "Friend Signa."
