*Mortar nods*
We're going into the forest and will try to negotiate. If we can't we will fight.

"COVER!" [b]Royal spun begin the cover of a tree, pulling Mortar with him [/b]
-
*Mortar rolls, minimizing impact. As he rolls, he notices a snapped tripwire where he stood* Mortar: It was a tripwire, guys, watch your step
-
"Guys? Aren't we the only ones in the forest?"
-
Cross: We're never the only ones. So long as the Exiled live here, they make ten feel like a hundred. That's just their tactics
-
"Wait Crossbow??? Weren't you supposed to go to the mountains?"
-
Cross; Yes, I did. Though I heard you and thought there was someone out here. Pardon my willingness to assist you.
-
"Pardoned." [b]Royal exited his cover behind the tree, watching the ground as he walked [/b]
-
Besides... These are fresh, so we need to focus our strength in here. I'll call Reese
-
"Okay. You do you. Just make Sure Reese tells Kross."
-
Cross: Will do. *Cross disappeared through a shadow portal, returning with Reese and Kross.*
-
[i]"Have we found anything yet?" [/i]
-
Reese: Not much, just a few stale tracks. We did find a carcass though, but it looked old, and Cross pointed out how recent the tripwires were set.
-
"Tripwires? Are we even sure they're traps?" [i]"Certain. If they were trying to capture animals, they'd do it better" [/i]
-
Cross: Yes, however I've learned that this is actually how they fortify walls if they're aren't as many patrol squadrons. Tripwire, pitfalls, the like.
-
"Fortifying positions through traps.... Interesting to say the least."
-
Mortar: But obviously effective, considering without seeing that line we'd still be looking for more people. Let's just keep our heads up and make sure just in case.
-
"Don't you mean keep our heads down? Tripwires are on the ground."
-
Mortar: You know what I mean, Roy. Let's have some ahead for traps and some behind for troops
-
"I'll stay back. Move with the shadows." [b]He walked towards one of trees, develolving into a ball of Shadow and disappearing [/b]
-
*Mortar nods, staying low* Kross, you see anything yet?
-
[b]He stopped, motioning for the others to stop as well[/b]
-
*Mortar stops, looking around. He stopped breathing, listening to the slight footsteps round him*
-
[b]Kross picked up a stick and threw it forward. It crashed against the ground and suddenly a net was pulled upward toward the trees[/b]
-
*Mortar sighs, getting up. However, it doesn't seem too good as he looks around, noticing that they are surrounded by Exiled snipers, assault rifles on their backs* Oh, damn it, it's Bravo Squadron
-
[i]"Unfortunate ? Were we not searching for the Exiled?"[/i]
