Jechir laughed. "Anyone can talk to trees. It's just that they don't answer most of us."

Litheril chooses to ignore Alec's last comment and instead replies to Hakar, "Yes, good idea trying looking for the airship. I'm afraid I won't be of much use for tracking it however, my affinity is for water..." He trails off and then has an idea, "Wait, I just thought of something. If any of the kidnappers were injured then they may have left some blood behind. Could we use that to track them?"

OOC: Yes it would be very difficult to geta sample and then tell which blood belongs to who, but Litheril's water magic might help get around that problem.

"Well, so these are the ones i'll be working with, huh? Can't say they're the best i've ever seen, but i'm sure they'll do." Metrius was looking towards the goblin and the elves when he was saying this, making sure they realized he was talking to them. "So, do any of you know where exactly they've taken her?"

"Well sorry we're not up to your standards newbie, but hey, if standing around asking the same stupid question that we've all been trying to figure out is your style, go ahead, we'll just be over here trying to do something constructive." Gug snapped at the guy who had gone out of his way to insult him.

"Can we get on with this?" Sarin looked at all of them, annoyed. "You aren't the only one here who can talk to vegetation, human, all of which is alive if you'll listen." he said to Alec. "My guess would be some sort of neutral drop off point near the orc gathering. place. If they are using something as big as an airship and we can get in the area, we can track by ground displacement."

(Jaguar and I came up with this, he said it was fine to put it into my post)

"What is the nature of these..." the guard trailed off.
Suddenly, Laine felt a serrated edge press against his throat, and a gauntleted hand clasped over his mouth.
"Move one step," a gruff voice growled from behind him, "and bleed to death before you hit the ground.

Gabriel nodded. "Indeed, though the nearest Orc encampment is a days ride from here." He narrowed his eyes in concentration. "Which would mean that they would still be on their way. If I were an Orc capturing an Avariel from their own stronghold, I would choose stealth over speed. Chances are that they are covering their tracks as they travel, rather than riding off at full steam to the encampment."

He looked quickly to Sarin and Alec.

"If we could lead you within range of their path, do you think you could track them?"

Ooc: once I get a response to this, I will make the new chapter, where their will be bloodshed, killing and good times galore.

OOC: Antarrak is gonna kick all yo' sorry asses!

IC: Talos ground the edge of his knife a bit harder into the newcomer's neck. "Gabriel. We've got an intruder! Shall I throw him off?"

Gabriel studied the Intruder for a long while; then he began laughing.

"Are you serious Talos?" He laughed as wiped a tear from his eye and jestured to Laine. "How old are you Kid? Nine?"

(OOC: I'm guessing Gug's magic tracker is a no-go?)
