Session 7.

by Myetharia Faewarin

While seated around the fire, Winry proposes a game of "Two Truths, One Lie" to the group, in an attempt to get to know each other better. They all agree, though some more reluctantly than others.
Bryn goes first and the group learns that she is older than they had initially guessed, at 40 years old. They also learn that she is separated from her husband, Brent, but has a 19-year-old son named Keth who is running the family farm with her brother while she is away.
Next goes Jack, and he reveals to them that he is 125, has five siblings, has performed in a circus, and knows how to play eight instruments.
Winry reveals that she had applied to the Monastery of the Two Winds, but was not accepted, and has adopted a similar style of magic and fighting as they use there.
Then Rayland follows Winry by revealing that he is 33 years old. Additionally, he has been employed by a man named Ming as his footman for the last decade, and he is double jointed in a few areas.
Next, Myetharia reveals that she can play piano, but poorly, and that she has so many cousins on her father's side that she has lost count of how many there are.
Lastly, they prod Torrent to also play. She informs them that she herself is 28, and that her hair has always been white.
 
In the morning, they part ways with Captain Herreman and his men, and continue South toward the Fire Forest. They carry on into the foothills and find themselves traveling down a tight valley. Keeping in mind the fact that they were told Kathor and his bounty hunters had an encampment in the Southern foothills, they proceed with some caution, watching for tracks. They don't see any, but as the pass becomes tighter, Rayland realizes and points out that the area would be perfect for an ambush. He calls the group to halt, and climbs up one side of the mountain pass to get a better view. With his position, he is able to spy someone hiding on the path ahead, and returns with this news to the group.
They set up a plan to trip the trap, but it does not end up going as they hoped. Instead, the two scouts who had been in hiding, come out and blow a horn, signaling the group's presence. These two prove quickly to be more than the group can handle, as none of the attacks made on them seem to hit. Additionally, a third man begins to ride toward them on horseback, seemingly upset at the group.
As the fight progresses, it gets even worse. The signal is blown once again, the group seems incapable of dealing the bounty hunters any damage. And Jack, though he is able to take the man down from his horse, is soon unconscious himself.
Fortunately, Bryn uses healing and her Twilight Sanctuary to get Jack back up, and boost the others. Though the fight still continues poorly, Torrent slowly leads the horses to the group from where they left them up the path.
