Anomalous Trip (Part II)

[slicsinatra]

Is there a way for me to go intercept her on the river?

[Dragnoxz]

Your uniform has a wing suit built into it, however, it’s zipped up. You have a parachute that haven’t been folded properly. If you try to fold it properly you’ll have to do an intelligence and then a dexterity check, to see how well you remembered the class and for performing the action. But you have everything you need, though maybe not enough time to do it all.

[slicsinatra]

I prefer the wing suit anyway. I want to roll intel or wisdom to see if i should double back to try to get her or see where the wolves lead me.

[Dragnoxz]

Roll wisdom.

[slicsinatra]

15 Wisdom.

[Dragnoxz]

You know, it would be unwise to try to jump from such a shallow incline, there’s no suitable jump position nearby. You would have to double back for about a mile and then go up the side of the ravine to where it’s steep enough to run and jump off, but by then, any rescue will be too late. You get the feeling that some things are out of your control and that casualties happen in war. Then the realization that this is a war begins to set in.

[slicsinatra]

“Dammit. Lakeland, I’m tryin to find somewhere I can help, you’re out of range, do you read me. Can you see my position?”

[Dragnoxz]

There is no response. The wolves lead you into a cave like area. There is natural lighting from outside with mirrors beaming light in and splitting the light to illuminate the spot. It is kind of like how in the Mummy when they turn a mirror and the place lights up, just this place is not as big. You see metal balls on the ground piled up and old wooden crates stacked up. You know this all to be a very old munitions room. You are led through another area that has old cots that have decayed beyond useable. The fabric is so old it easily rips. Further in, more rooms are similar. Then you see another room with cannon balls and an actual cannon, though it’s very old and rusted, and overlooks the ravine. You see where Lakelands tag is, and (Perception).

[slicsinatra]

Perception 20.

[Dragnoxz]

Her tag defiantly is flying. You can even estimate the speed at around 80 km/h (50 Mph) and climbing to your side of the ravine, but across and to your left at half level down. After a few moments her tag slows and stops somewhere about 3 miles down river at half your level down.

[slicsinatra]

I want to take a path to her position. I urge the wolves to follow me once I get their attention. I want to find a way to get higher to see if I can get to the river quickly and safely so I can travel to her.

[Dragnoxz]

The young one points toward the way they’re trying to take you. They are not aware of Lakeland, but they are acting like they are in a hurry, and concerned.

Young Wolf Girl: “Hewp.” She points. “Hewp Nal’yus.” Her accent is that of Eastern Europe and Native American combined, if you can imagine. Her voice is softly scratchy, like a teenager. Even in human form she gives the look a puppy gives when it wants something.

[slicsinatra]

“My friend, hurt. River, need help.” I’m urgent as are they. “Where, this path go?”

[Dragnoxz]

She looks at you, then shakes her head, as if you were not saying it right.

Young Wolf Girl: “Nal’yus. Can hewp, dammit.” She tries to convey words that you don’t understand. “Kra’l, vah’sha-n, em-fah’l toor’yast. Yun’t ek’nal vah Na’yus, vien-ba.” The o’s are rolled, as are the a’s. Google Translate will not help for this language, however, it sounds a cross between a Germanic Slav and Native American words. It’s almost soothing to listen to. She shakes her head and looks down as if it’s useless to talk to you, then she storms off toward where she’s trying to get you to go.

[slicsinatra]

I take off with her and run, understanding they are trying to help.
