Did we have someone else coming or is it just Sandy and Maura?

Maura stares at Sandy, her face a conglomeration of confusion and concern. Seeing their destination so close, she is caught between a healthy dose of caution learned at the temple academy and a firm determination fueled by her respect for the ritual at hand.

Suddenly, she relaxes, her decision made. Blade out and ready, she pushes past Sandy and opens the door.

Off to a good start with the dice, I see.

Mara approaches quickly, eager for to sight their destination. When she comes upon the grizzly scene, she stops short.

"Iomedae's light, what transpired here?"

Trusting the others to watch her back, she approaches the horse indicated by Sandy. Before moving the horse to get to the bones, she inspects the carcass, attempting to determine how long it has been since it was felled.

Mara seems to relax, but she is alert and ready for action. This "quick, uneventful journey" has been anything but, and she doesn't intend for it to fail now

Howdy!

Sorry, man. I hope you're doing ok.

Odd. Didn't tamper with any rolls. Just changed the post to say she shakes her head at her companions.

[This dice roll has been tampered with!]

As her companions make their way down the hill, Maura shakes her head as they refuse her help. She shrugs off her armor and straps it to her back. Attaching a rope to her mule, she keeps one hand on the lead on her other on the rope tied to the tree.

Anyone hear from Rakeesh?

Did you tie Maura's rope to yourself like she offered? That's in addition to using the rope to climb down.

Maura holds an end of her rope up to Kirdo and Dariel.

"Well, if you want some extra security, let me know. I'll descend last."

I was going to tie a rope around you, but looks like you won't need it.

Maura shrugs.

"Unless you have a better idea. I'd prefer not to leave it up here. There are hungry wolves about after all. And... other things, as we saw earlier today."

Maura eyeballs the slope and looks at her mule and then at her companions.

"I suggest I tie my rope around one of you at a time. As you guide yourselves down on Sandy's rope, I can hold my rope up here and provide some security, using the tree as leverage. It is a slow process, but I would prefer to avoid any further injury. Then, I can hopefully do the same for the mule."
