This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Running at us (i.e., has to run past our location)?  Or just parallel to us from his starting point?  Can we see if he's looking in our direction?

Parallel to you from his starting point. He's going to pass about 50m to the west of you at closest approach.

Alric, are you looking around as you run? Yelling?

Description: Alric is a fit young man (late 20s) with short (roman style) black hair and a neatly trimmed black beard, medium complexion, and clear blue eyes. Along the left side of his face from his chin up past his nose and close to the corner of his left eye into his hairline, then back to his left ear and back down along his jawline is an old, ugly burn scar. Other than the scar, his face is rather non-descript, with plain structure and a lack of notable features.

Alric, are you looking around as you run? Yelling?

OOC: I'm looking for where to run next, but unless you tell me otherwise, I would have no reason to expect yelling to produce any results other than to draw even more attention to myself from undesirable elements out here in the wilderness.

I drop my hastily gathered gear and whip my scimitar from its sheath...going into a wild eyed crouch...(gods guide me from this dark wood)
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

He looks a bit scared and seems intent on putting distance between himself and the copse he just vacated.

He doesn't look like a Geornling, Norel thinks to himself as he tries to assess the situation.

"Hey!  You!  Over here!  Quickly!" Norel says loudly to catch the fleeing man's attention.

Profession probably wouldn't be clear under the circumstances, nationality can be pretty reasonably be presumed to be Moragnian.

The sound of the chanting is fading as the Alric flees from the copse of trees, trailing bracken behind him. In its place, a cold wind, more appropriate to the depths of winter than your spring night is starting to pick up and roll down the mountainside. The little fire you've got lit is guttering, but what light does come from it shows only the man and yourselves and the path and the trees around you.

Hearing the call, Alric pauses for only a moment before veering towards Norel, calling out, "I am Alric Quintin of Carlaw and mean you no harm, but beware as spirits are at work in that copse!"

Norel stands and notches an arrow into his bow as looks in the direction of the copse, "what do you mean by spirits, Alric?"

Alric approaches the group's camp breathlessly, keeping his staff lowered and chokes out, "The spirits appear... whew... as ghostly skeletons... wha... that were chanting the Prayer... whew... for the Ill.... I don't know why... whoooo... I just awoke and they were there."

upon hearing this talk of spirits I instinctively grip my sword a bit tighter as I reach for my shield then stepping away from my piled gear for clear footing
ready for action as the man enters our camp

The wind's force rises quickly. Pine needles, sodden leaves, small branches and other bits of the forest are whipping down the side of the mountain at high speeds. Overhead, trees are bending and branches breaking. One of the clouds overhead unblocks moon as the wind blows it off, and a ray of white moonlight illuminates the grove's exterior.

You can see something that looks like a strip of white cloth glowing from the pale light. It flutters just out of sight, attached to something deeper in the copse that's still hidden.

"Perhaps we should retire to the heath and return to the mountain during daylight," Norel suggests to the others.
