Event Finished Conservation: Deep Woods

Ferris noded, he went to the spot of where the creatures were huddled to make sure he had the right scent, then he closed his eyes focusing on the smells of the creatures.

"Ones gone to the far west from here a lots of fruit around there I think...the other seems to have gone...up?...no that's not right...ahh it went up a small mountain ahead prehaps or a hill." ferris explained to the group

Still compiling his list, Marcus listened to the conversation. Charlie's plan seemed overly complicated if the Guide was right about how easy it was to control the herd. Maybe all they needed was just to work as a team.

"Well, If they split into two groups, we should too." Marcus inserted, reaching into his bag for the Collecting book, his notes forgotten. When he found it, he held it up to show the group. "I can also collect the creatures, just not for long. We could split into a group of a Tracker and a Collector, and get both simultaneously."

To be honest, he wasn't sure of his plan. The book could only hold unwilling creatures for about five minutes before they escape. If only for the speed, Marcus would have to be partnered with Ferris.

"The primary issue with that plan," said Charlie to the guide with a sigh "is that the box follows me, and only me. So for that plan, I'd have to come with you two."

The box was Charlie's prized possession. On sheer monetary value alone, it's contents had an astronomically high value. But it was more than that. He'd chiseled the box out of a cave wall, sacrificed many things to protect it. He never let it out of his sight. As Marcus voiced his plan, Charlie agreed. A pair of teams would work well. It would work better than Charlie ever letting the box out of his sight.

"If i stick with you" said Charlie, turning to look at the guide "As you stated you lacked the ability to properly defend yourself long enough to get close to the creatures, I can provide a numbers and combat advantage. Then we have a second team consisting of Ferris and Marcus. If you two need more boots on the ground, I can send some undead with you?"

Ferris took the radio, he looked at marcus and nodded to him. "Since you'll be capturing I'll be keeping contact with the guide, unless you prefer to have radio since I'll be leading you to the creatures." he explained.

Getting a look at marcus he seemed to be less of a hunter so maybe it would be better if the radio was in his hands, but ferris knew that appearences could be deciving. For all he knew Marcus might be a worthy opponent or maybe just someone who wanted to help out, though its hard to believe someone would take a risky job without being an adequate warrior, thus why ferris tried to respect everyone here a bit more than others.

"I guess we're following the red one, since you can track it" said Charlie, to their guide. Handheld radios. Now there was a technology he understood. None of this fancy GPS mobile nonsense, good old fashioned RF. People placed too much stock in technology. Messenger pigeons had been good enough for centuries, along with good old hand and foot. People used this to communicate important information, but now, all they communicated was banality.

"Shall we follow the way the red marked creature went?" Said Charlie, pointing in the direction the guide had earlier.

"Do you two want some of my undead to go with you?" Charlie asked Ferris and Marcus. The numbers advantage might be helpful, but Charlie knew many were unwary amongst his undead. Hell, until recently, that would have been a wise opinion.

Ferris thought about charlie's offer, however ferris didn't like mindless undead creatures being around him considering he's had to fight and hunt numerous of those in the past, he did however like the extra help in case marcus needed help or hell maybe himself too.

"Charlie we'll take 4 of your undead legion, just have to be sure they don't get in my way." ferris said as he focused on the scents of the missing creatures and guided marcus with the undead to the path that lead to the creatures.

(( I chooooose...3 :P))
