Cora nodded sadly, but she understood. She deserved that. After what she did, it was a miracle she was even looking at her.

"I think there's should be one more of you, but I think he should make it. I've heard of him and he's pretty capable on his own. I'll send him your way if I ever cross him"

"If you're ready with your route, better not waste anymore time, Vona could-"

A loud ringing of bell comes from the fort's direction, and you can hear the sound of troops mobilizing.

"Well, if you need rest, at least don't rest here. I'll wait for you in the Temple!"

Alante turns back into smoke and flies away into the forest.

If you have decided which route to take you can find a place hidden enough to take a long rest.

"Come on!" Cora barked out. "Let's get outta here!" She starts to run along the shore.

Sheshka also dove for her things in the chest. She peeled out of her prison rags and slipped into a black bodysuit before strapping on her studded leathers. A quiver of arrows and a large bow are then secured, and finally as the alarm in the Fort begins to sound, Sheshka relieves the chest of a mighty ax. A grin crawls across her face as she wields it. For now, though, she'll stow it away and take off after Cora down the coast. 

“W-wait—!“ Lilyth stammered out as the two girls ran off down the coast. With a sigh, she shoved the map into her bag and begrudgingly started to sprint behind them. 

Cora spun around, slowed to a jog. She waved Lilly over, waiting for her and the others, saying. "Your Legion friends are most likely up this coast somewhere! The jungle is too much of an unknown."

The Orc can't help but chuckle at least a little "Legion friends. That's a good one! Don't know if you noticed or not, but Lilyth was in irons just like the rest of us. Don't think we've got friends right now. Not with The Legion" Sheshka lets that last bit drip with an ounce of venom. 

Cora gives Sheshka a glance, considered her words. "Well, I ain't goin' in that jungle at night, and right now the only person I do trust is her. So, if you have a better idea, i'm all ears."

Sheshka barked out a laugh "I'm just saying I wouldn't expect any hospitality from The Legion seeing as they were okay with one of their own being thrown in the hole with us." She looked to the jungle, sizing up what she could from this side of the tree line. Dark, dank, and hot....filled with gods know what. "I'm with ya there on the jungle. I'd rather stay away if possible...but I've got a feeling we'll be carving our way through it before we're done."

Lilyth’s sprint became more of a brisk walk then she stopped completely as the two conversed about the Legion. She served them and her clergy how many years and they were so ready to go about and execute her over claims that weren’t even true! They literally raised her! You let yourself fall for someone from the other side and automatically you’re deemed a traitor.

Just thinking about it caused her to hiss in distaste at even their name, anger bubbling in the pit of her stomach. “They obviously didn’t care about me or what I did for them, all my years I served— I was falsely accused! They didn’t listen to me!” She kicks the sand, her anger trying to subside trying to to think of a rational thing to do. “Sorry, just— we can find a suitable place to rest, I-I... I don’t know.” She sighs and takes out the map, jogging again to hand it to the closest person. “Here, I’m in no state of mind to read this.”

Cora stood there for a moment, staring at Lilly as she left. She felt guilty, and Lilly had every right to be upset. She gave the half orc a nod of agreement, and continued on, thinking still about the vampire.

Sheshka will accept the map. Taking a moment to look it over (and with the Coast and sea being a favored terrain) she tries to make sense of anything that may serve as a potential shelter location. A place to rest that's safe from persecution at least temporarily. 

Is this game still on?

(ooc: Same question, mb DM is ill or smth?)

OOC: I'm going to be really sad if this game just dies. I really like the characters and the set up.

Ooc: Eh sorry work's been busy this week! I will surely continue it, but I am taking a breath now. Anyway, I'll assume you'll take the coast route as Sheshka favors it

Ah, there he is. 

(alright here we go)

===DM===

You follow the path near the shoreline and find a place far enough from the shore to take the long rest. During the night, you can hear about a dozen of soldiers is passing by, but they don't stop.

After finishing the long rest (you regained all hit points, abilities, and hit dices), you continue your journey as early as you can, following the path near the shore. The sun is visible in the horizon and you don't hear nor see any Legion soldier patrolling nearby. One hour walking, you see a number of wrecked ship on the shore. On the sand nearby, a man wearing captain's cloak lays motionless on the sound. A number of chests can be seen half-buried in the sand around the man.

What you'd like to do?

(Posting flashback of last night and current intentions soon)

Last night, during the long rest Cora wanted to talk to Lilly. To clear things up.

She didn't know how to approach her. Sure, she had every right to be upset with Cora. After all, it was Cora who broke things off, broke Lilly's heart. Truth be told, Cora did love Lilly. What they shared before Cora had to go was something she would never forget. Occasionally during the night, she would sit next to her, and attempt some small talk.

"So." She started, "Nice..night tonight, huh." She turned her head and grimaced so that Lilly couldn't see, completely annoyed at how awful that opening sounded.

She wanted to talk more, but didn't know how to begin.
