"We must serve Sommerlund and its King as we have always done!"
Raging Stallion stands tall amongst his brothers. The emotion of Brave Blades passing is apparent is his face, yet he remains calm and speaks with pride at the task laid onto them by the Grand Master.
"We must make haste though, my Lords. Doubtless there will be more enemies scouting the paths for survivors".

Sun Snake concentrates for a moment, attempting to determine the best path to take to Holmgard.
There are two paths that lead away from the Monastery; one to the west and one to the east. Both of these paths are heavy with booted footprints, no doubt made by the Darklands spawn. Holmgard lies directly to the south east. No track leads in this direction; however, it is less likely to be watched by enemies like the two paths would.

Sun Snake points to the south-east scrub and fauna after contemplating what his senses are telling him. "Holmgard lies in that direction," he says out loud. He looks to those he recognises as also being good in the classes in hunting and tracking themselves for reassurance. "Both tracked routes were used. I think we could navigate through the forest directly itself to avoid detection for now." Sun Snake looks to his fellow, particularly Raging Stallion and Running Bear who have been so outspoken, as he retrieves his hand axe.

"Use your axe to clear a trail, Sun Snake. We will follow on your heels," says Running Bear. Although the youngest of the surviving Kai Lords, Running Bear is as fiercely determined as any other to see this mission through or die in the attempt.

Attempting to focus on the task at hand, Fierce Kanu quickly falls in line with the others. He pushes any thought of their fallen leader from his mind and concentrates on staying alert and conscious of their surroundings.

Sun Snake nods, thinking of the irony of how Kai manifests the disciplines in his humble students. While Sun Snake had only used his axe for work such as this in the forest, he found his Kai skills locked to an affinity for it rather than the sword he had actually practised with and used for combat.
Similarly, he always felt at home in civilsed places such as the cities and the monastery, and yet Kai had blessed him to easily negotiate the wilds they are now to traverse. Was there such a thing as destiny, and should that make one uncomfortable given the massacre behind. These were thoughts for another time, and infact for other people. Sun Snake preferred the simplicity of the mission at hand even as real enemy surrounding them was a terrifying prospecr.
Sun Snake glides throw the foliage, and listens for the tell-tale noise or lack of noise from wildlife that would indicate whether this path were safe or not.

Swift Otter looks around the scene of devastation for what he hopes will be the last time. He searches for an axe with which he might help his fellow cut through the more tangles reaches of the forest. 'Cause he wanted an axe in the first place, but it wasn't on the list! ;D
In case there is a chance of spotting an axe, I'll roll a random number = 8 invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1730679/

Raging Stallion places a hand on Sun Snakes shoulder. "You lead, brother. I will follow behind you should danger arise." The look in his eyes gives the impression that it would be he looking for danger...

Swift Otter finds a discarded axe amongst the ruins of the Monastery before joining his fellows.
You have been hacking through the woods for about an hour. Occassionally you have heard the cries of Kraan overhead, but luckily the thick canopy prevents them from detecting you.
After a while you come to a small clearing in which lies a wooden hut. The door has been broken off its hinges. There is no sound coming from the hut; in fact the only sounds are the normal sounds of the forest.

Running Bear approaches the hut, using his Sixth Sense to warn of any threat before entering.

Raging Stallion keeps close to Running Bear, Sixth Sense active for any signs of danger. He keeps a tight grip on his shield and his warhammer, ready to smite and foe that dare emerge.

Sun Snake falls back for his more mentally and martially talented companions to take the lead. Sun Snake hooks his woodsman's axe to his belt and takes his shield and sword in hand.
He makes do with training his more mundane senses under hunting to see if there is any noise or movement from the corner of the eye that is not right for this setting. He ignores the hut for now, scannign the surroundings to watch the back of his brothers.

Fierce Kanu stands guard as well, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, and his senses turned towards the forest.

Swift Otter takes a moment to get a sense of the surrounding forest, hoping that the presence of any foul spawn nearby will be revealed in any unusual sounds - or lack thereof - of woodland creatures.
