"Can we ignore the train, though?"

[Galzria]

Grant peered out into the darkness in the direction of the train. The puzzle of it's untimely arrival left a queasy feeling in his stomach. While nobody seemed to want to say it, the fact is this wasn't normal... At least as far as he could tell. Jeb seemed intent to ignore it and move on as quickly as possible, and that alone was enough to make Grant uneasy. And curious. Yes, he had to admit it... He was in fact curious.

The revelation about the White Calf was even more intriguing. Growing up, his parents had always hid their relation to the native tribes..  But in the privacy of home many a story had been told. He wasn't at all unfamiliar with this particular one... But he had always thought they were just stories. Legends. Meant to impress moral values upon the young. Huh.

Grant wondered if there might be anything to this man's story. If so... It could also be a reason for the... "visit" being paid by whoever was in charge of that train. In any case, Grant suspected things weren't going to stay quiet long. Whoever had shot this man was probably looking for him even now... And if his words held truth, then the fight with Bass was nothing but childs play.

"We need both Horses to pull the Carriage. But we now have a third. If someone were to be quick, I'm sure we could scout out what's happening down by the train before making our decision. I'm willing to ride now. I'm fairly skilled when it comes to avoiding detection. I could give us a fair chance at the upper hand and meet back up with you all in no more than 30 minutes."

[theorel]

Sky Hawk looks at you each in turn as you speak.  His anxiety evident when discussion moves away from helping him.
We have nothing to offer, and the calf is not with us.  We must move quickly if we are to arrive before the Ravenites slaughter everyone.

[OOC]Someone would have realized that you were attacked by some 7 outlaws.  Only 3 of them got away, and they were riding on horses.  Thus logic suggests that there are 4 unmanned horses out there.

(General Knowledge about Ravenites)
Ravenites are members of the "Order of the Raven."  They represent a secret rebellion against the Old Ways, and use technology against the white man.  They are condemned by the elders and put to death if discovered.[/OOC]

[spiritbears]

I say we wrap up old bass there and tie him to the wagon.  Jimmy you'll still get some cash, and you will also have the opportunity to take some weapons off the ravenites if we move fast.

(Turning to Sky Hawk) how far is your camp?

[Jorbles]

"Alright, let's quickly see if we can track down the other bandits horses. Grant, do a quick scout of the train, don't let them see you, and if you find anyone try not to bite off more than you can chew."

Riding roll to find the horses:

Rolled 1d4 : 3, total 3

Wild:

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[Jorbles]

"No luck, we better hoof it if we're going to get over there."

[Jorbles]

Jimmy quickly grabs a shotgun off one of the fallen outlaws, and whatever shells he can find.

[theorel]

It will take us time to get there walking, but I do not believe my horse could run.  Our camp is away to the West."  He bends down and draws a bit in the dirt, pointing out where the ambush happened, and suggesting a conspicuous ridge-line for a rendezvous with Grant about half-way there.

[OOC]If anyone wants to make sure to do something before you go, feel free.
Once you're ready to head out, I want 2 Stealth rolls and a Notice roll from Grant.  And a Notice roll from everyone else.[/OOC]

"No need for me to waste any time then. Jeb, I trust you'll watch my stuff? I'll ride quick and meet up with you as soon as I can. Let's hope I can figure out what's going on 'round these parts."

[Galzria]

Let's see if this is right...:

Scene 3: As I Walk Through The Valley

Sky Hawk leads most of you west onto the plains, away from the stagecoach trail and rail line.  The distant storm has passed North, quiet and dark have descended around you.  Outside your lantern, the only light is the stars, and outside Sky Hawk's horse, you hear only the hushed breeze and the rustling of prairie grass.

Meanwhile...Grant rides north before quietly slipping from his horse and drawing close to the Iron Dragon train.

"Hey guys, what's that noise?"

[Jorbles]

"I heard it too. Coyotes?"

Jimmy looks at Genji curiously.

[spiritbears]

I don't think that was a yote brothers....

Turning to the sky hawk, bob speaks to him in his own language
did you see that ndn in front of us? He was covered in many white feathers
but he disappeared when I looked at him

[theorel]

Sky Hawk responds in the same language
I saw no one.  Hopefully a good spirit.

[spiritbears]

I hope so brother...
I hops so

[Jorbles]

Jimmy checks that his slightly used shotgun is loaded.

"What do you think they are, Bob?"

[ashersky]

"Friends, look to the sky.  I believe I felt the passing of a bird of some size.  The sounds came from above."
