Stumbling in the dark

Ostiarium forests

Hunter leads Voah with determined purpose through the day at break neck pace through the woods. The time he spent upon arriving in Ostiarium, hunting and scouting the surrounding areas, becomes very useful. He knows the generic area that Blank has directed them to, but knows that the chances the man was lying or that they will arrive too late to save Islana is very high. You speak only when needed as the day turns to night and you rest only to drink some water. Both of you are still suffering the effects of your wounds in Sentinel Island. With the Creed rising its ugly head in the city and the public executions its easy to forget a few weeks ago you were fighting for your lives against bloodthirsty natives and a magikal dust devil creature.

As you draw closer and closer to the general area indicated by Blank you find signs of recent activity and several footprints that seem to show that many people have walked these trails recentely. So intent are you trying to follow these that seem to trace and track over one another that you are almost caught unawares when a shadow seems to separate itself from a nearby tree. You reach for your weapons but a familiar voice stops you
"Your Holiness. I was praying for you to come..." the man pulls down his hood. You cannot hide your surprise at the sight of Wim Riese, one of Voah's 'lucky stars'.

You hope its a good omen. After all the other 'lucky star' was Till.
