Akane wasn't really listening much to the others as she was focused on Tun Si. "Really? How do you know?" Akane asked as she lifted up her water sac to give to Tun Si to drink a little.

Tun Si took a small sip before replying.
"...Before I blacked out...I caught a glimpse...a tattoo on the side of her face. It's...it's the insignia of a terrorist group in Rhasmapatra...Hathaura." She paused to have another sip of the water sack.
"...I read about them...during political study at Tsong Lakes...boring stuff, but I still remembered..."
Tun Si took heed of Tama's earlier announcement, and as much as she herself wanted to get moving along, there was little choice but to wait til her body recovered.

As if on cue at Duk's words, the sound of thunder made way for thick clouds coming in slowly from the horizon.
Nam Il mounts his horse.
"..Hathaura.. and they wanted you, Aeon?"

Nergüi tucked the pouch of valuables into his saddlebags, then mounted up.
"If she can't sit a horse, one of us could lead it for a time."

Feeling well enough to get moving, Tun Si slowly and carefully got back on her feet with Akane's help. A tad dizzy from rising, she took only a brief moment to recover before heading over to her ride and mounted it.
"Thanks for your help Akane."

Aeon stops his pacing and looks at nam Il.
"Yes, it appears they wanted me for some reason. Seeing as no answers are forthcoming..."
Aeon glances up at the thunderheads.
"We should keep moving."
Aeon fetches his horse and mounts up.
"we need to make shion pa."

Akane smiled gently at Tun Si. "No Problem sweetie." Akane just stared at her riding mount and he stared right back at her. Akane sighed. "Think you can help me again?" Akane smirks up at Tun Si.

"Sure." Tun Si nodded and carefully hopped off her mount.
She strode over towards Akane's mount who still appeared to be wary of his rider, but soon relaxed once Tun Si began massaging the beast's neck, allowing Akane to mount without hassle.
"Good boy." She gave Akane an assuring 'it's done' look before returning to her own horse.

Our heroes gather up and continue on their way, leaving the chaos behind them as the sky turns dark with clouds. They cover themselves with cloaks from their adventuring packs to trek through the rain. Fortunately it only lasted a few hours. Eventually they left the mountains and woods and now ride the road across vast fields of grass, their wet blades glistening in the now setting sun. Night would fall soon, and they knew that traveling the country in the dark could be considered suicide, with all the monsters and undead that are said to stalk in the darkness. They would need to make camp soon, by the road, or search for a safe place for the night.

The Beggar Khan, no stranger to nights in the open, wasn't terribly concerned with the details of the group's campsite- he assumed, however, that his more well-heeled compatriots were holding out hope for an inn or something of the kind, and simply kept his eyes open for threats.

[NOTE: When camping, take note of things like meals, finding good shelter, changing out of clothes, bathing if water is nearby, and other real-world elements. If they are not mentioned in your posts, it will be as if they did not occur, and the next day you could find yourself fatigued, as days accumulate you could find yourself smelly.]

Tun Si, having been raised indoors most her life, felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to sleep outside. Not from fear of certain creatures that were rumoured to lurk in the dark, but that she had never really been anywhere other than her home city and the temple she trained at. But if camping out in the wilds was the only option, then she'd simply need to put up with it.
For now, the young noblewoman glanced around at the scenery, taking it all in as the group strode along. Clearly she had no clue on which spot would be the most ideal place to camp out.

Nan Fa Ra Duk who had taken longer to get his things together and gotten the wettest, plodded along on his horse. His long hair wet and clumped over his face, making him resemble a wet and shaggy dog, and was in a foul mood. The bard grumbled loudly to himself.
"Can't smoke, can't drink, and I'm soaked. Can't make camp soon enough."
he lifted a clump of wet hair out of his vision and eye'd their supposed leader Tama and harrumphed.
"Well? Are we done for the day yet?"

[NOTE: An Adventuring check is required in situations like these to find the best means of camping. In these instances, a score of 15 will offer a decent location, but a 20 may wield a greater reward ((revealed by me)), and an even higher score, perhaps greater. Remember that others can assist the first roller's score wit their own, giving it a +2 boost with any score that does not have a roll of 1. Therefore it is sometimes beneficial for more than one person to make a check, "teaming up" as it were to accomplish a task. WHILE you are free to talk amongst yourselves either in OOC parenthesis, via PM, or chat to plan things out(no way I can enforce anything on this anyway), you are much more encouraged to RP it out instead.)

"Yes, I am scanning our surroundings for a place to make camp," Tama patiently replies to Duk as she motions to Nergui and Akane, bidding them to consult with her. "Do you two see any suitable clearing?" [dice=20] +5 (Adventuring)[rand=6702100238762796731586717767641338832633569836609824230149388313]

"Should be dryer there."[rand=9630727920363543728682023617803474020712172579560023136701518861047]

[success]
As Tama and Nergüi look further in that direction, the darkening of the skies allows them to see the faint light of candels poking through the trees of the woods far past the rise. If they were lucky, it was some place to stay. If unlucky, the camp of more bandits.

Aeon's mount plods along at the back of the party, content to let their scout find a decent spot to spend the night through the downpour as his experience in such things is lacking, rather than call ahead through the rain he opts for mind speak to Tama and Nergüi
If you spot a decent place perhaps we should send our stealthiest member to check it out in case we run into more trouble and they can relay the message back to me silently.

Akane was enjoying the smell of the rain when Tama interrupted her thoughts. Akane over heard Nergüi and his suggestion. Akane looked to the tree line that was a distance away.
(Adventuring [dice=20]+4=20)
Akane spoke up. "If that doesn't work, we can always rest in the trees..." Akane spoke with all seriousness, because she didn't know how ridiculous her suggestion was because she would always sleep in a tree to stay out of reach from weapons and hands.[rand=77736457530409117035667877644347119725937955088306895145215094]

"That is precisely what I was thinking..." Tama said quietly, as if to herself, while peering into the horizon. "Akane, up ahead there are lights. Just there, do you see them? Make your way to them, unseen, and report what you find. We will not make camp until we hear back from you."

Akane arched her eyebrow as Tama ignored her but she let it slide as she slipped off the horse and without a word she disappeared out of sight toward the lights.
Akane ran at full speed towards the lights.
(Stealth [dice=20]+10=27)
Very easily Akane dodged every twig, loose rock or any object that would alert anyone near. She hopped into a tree and looked at her surroundings when she was close.

As the rain died down, Akane could easily spot the little shrine hidden by the trees. An elderly monk was sweeping the porch of leaves, seemingly unaware of the woman hidden in the brush. She saw no peril here, but it may make for a good place to stay for the night. Shrines like these often provided shelter for travelers.

Akane smiled at the old shrine, it sorta reminded her of home back with her grandmother. Akane was about to step out to ask the elder if it would be alright if she and the group could stay but she hesitated. Instead she tried to link her self with Aeon so she could talk to Tama.
"Uh...hello? Mr. Psychic?" She thought to herself gently. "Tell Tama the light source is a small shrine. An elder is doing his evening chores."

Tun Si shook her head and tapped her foot against her mount, gently urging him to follow behind Nan Fa Ra Duk.
"I'll follow him, just to be safe." She told Tama as she rose past her.

Before the group gets here Akane wanted to make sure if it was even possible if this elder would even let them stay, if not, Akane will abide his wishes. Very cautiously, Akane stepped out of her hiding spot on and walked slowly.
When she got close she called out.
"Excuse me..." Akane said hoping the elder will hear her. "My friends and I are trying to find a place to stay the night...is that possible for us?" Akane than added. "But if we are not welcome, we will leave."

Akane's eyebrow twitched a little as she fakes a smile.
(Bluff [dice=20]+1=15)
"Thank you, my group and I really appreciate it.
Akane than looked over the elder cautiously. People she has stayed with would usually ask how many people would be with her and how long she was intending to stay. Akane looked the elder over to get a good read on his body language.
