Eyes In The Sky

Humor as a defensive mechanism. He's definitely hiding something."I wasn't sniffing you. Your scent permeates the air like a fart in the wind. One doesn't need to sniff to smell it. As for the mysterious stranger in a mysterious land schtick, fine. Keep your secrets." She stopped for a beat. "For now."

Arc looked at odd aggressive female who seemed to be quite the busy body type. He was not sure if she thought he was a criminal or she had some odd sexual preference. Then he felt the wagon stop abruptly.

Demonsbane signaled to stop the wagons. "Trouble ahead." She may be new to the land but she recognized a trap when she saw it. Tav nearly fell off the back of the wagon she was on when it suddenly stopped. She slid off the wagon and ran to the front. "What's the matter, Bane?" Demonsbane pointed out several signs of an impending ambush. "They probably know we are coming by now anyway. Arc, Fera, and Luna come with me. The rest continue as if nothing is wrong in five minutes or more up to you, during that time act like you need to repair the wagons or something.”

After Tav began shouting orders Arc and Luna hopped out of the wagon and looked around to see where Tav was going. Arc kept his mouth shut as he ran like a track star despite his full plate armor and thanks to his magical cloak the sound of his armor didn’t make any noise.

”When you get to the ambush site prepare to fight. The three I am taking with me will attack them from behind. Bane stay with the wagons and make sure the horses don't die otherwise will have to hook the wagons to you. Luna you might want to leave some of your constructs behind to defend the wagons."

Luna nodded as she pulled out a few rat constructs and a few bird constructs. The birds took off in the sky as the rats crawled under the wagons to hitch a ride. Luna put on a magical monocle to allow her to see what her birds saw from the sky. This made it easier to control her attacks and plan them according to her needs. Luna then said, “I have eyes in the sky and on the ground.” Arc was impressed as he said, “Impressive.”
