The man seems relieved by the healing done. However, the wound on his arm and many others are still very active. At least he can travel without immediate impediment. To Solomon, "It may explain why we weren't pursued into the cave. We thought we had escaped and rested as such. They could've easily taken us in our sleep, but were waiting outside instead. I just hope that they didn't summon what killed the others."

...The lizardfolk have become more aggressive, more strategic in their raiding. History has shown them to be cunning, not some simple raiding savages: We sent patrols, they melt into the swamp, patrols come back, a raid follows them."
The man relaxes against the tree, "It was at least a week ago that we were dispatched. The commander gives the information needed and that's enough. I don't care for the workings of the Big Army."
(Sorry, wording may have made it seem like the raiding was done a while back)

“We should not stay here. This clearing is an ambush point.” Elon tells the others remembering back to a time in his youth when his group was all but demolished by orcs in such a clearing.

"Agreed," the man leans on his shield and spear to lean up against the tree, "Why did Talvus send you? If it's to reacue us, he's too-little-too-late. You seem fairly capable, so I don't imagine you are simple scouts."

"Stop asking questions." Crispy says, quickly, hastily. Her lack of empathy clearly showing due to her rough childhood and even rougher career built over the years. "Maybe that's information YOU don't need to know? Get up, lets move."
At Elon and Rex's comments, she too agrees, that this point could be a place to be ambushed, and starts to get a little wary of the situation, part cautious and part itchy to move on. Her hand moves back to her weapon, slowly.
Taliesin will pull out his broom, hop on, and rise up as high as I can while keeping below the treeline. He'll watch his surroundings for any disturbances caused by a non-friendly source: 12
If he notices anything he'll retreat up in the air as high as he can within reason and prepare to dodge.
"Look, I'm happy to help in anyway I can. I'm Alvernian fighting under the same banner. Want to know where the damn scale-faced capital is? No problem. I'm just not in any great condition to fight right now," he lifts his bandaged arm to emphasize, "I'm an open book with open wounds. If the way behind you is clear, I'll drive on for a bit further before I rest again."

The scout is in much better shape after some more experienced care. He makes a note of the best route to take for the lizardmen city and also notes the cave where his group was ambushed the night before. In no condition to fight, but at least able to move easier, he takes his leave to return with his report.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"My,my. Quite the forceful one aren't we miss Crispy."
Evelyn waves farewell to the man. Like the others she'll give her surroundings a quick scan, but relies more on her natural perception to pick up on anything near by.
Perception:21
"Little bard better be careful~ Flying in the air like that only makes one an easier target. If I were an enemy I'd shoot you down first." She sing-songs, chuckling behind her hand.
"You have to be when most of your life is surrounded by dirt bags and other criminal scum. Most people are garbage, and I've learned to be untrusting, with little patience. Not everyone you'll meet is all puppies and rainbows." Crispy says, calming down. "Hopefully, when it all goes to Hell, and it will, you'll want me around. Or not, whichever."
She smiles at Evelyn, giving her a friendly pat on the back.
Solomon frowns, “I disagree. The world’s a harsh place, but people still deserve to be treated right. Otherwise, what makes us different from the people we’re trying to stop? Berating people won’t get us anywhere. We can be cautious without assuming that people are trash.”
Crispy scoffs. "Yeah. Tell that to my dad when he was beating me up at old 10 years old. But, hey, thanks for the advice. But you don't know me well. Trust me. I AM cautious, and I've made it this far without dying, so you do things your way, i'll do things mine. Also? No one asked you."
Elon grumbles under his breath before taking one last look around and preparing to move on. Taking his position towards the back of the group “let’s move on”

Nothing to report!
“Good, then after you, Evelyn.”
