"Some, if I remember correctly. I'll leave it to someone to fill us in on the details, though. My memory isn't very clear on the subject." She steps back from the map. "I'll wait for the transport to arrive, then."<br> <br>Angus looks over the map and frowns. "I know this route. Whoever is your supplier is not very smart for taking it. Rock slides, beats, there are even tales of people upsetting some of the natives and getting in trouble, or just losing their way." He waits, allowing everyone to get a view of the map before he takes it from Mirana's hands and rolls it up. "Think we should travel the path backwards. Would allow us to find them easier probably."<br> <br>Leian's ears twitch as she looks at the map a moment, running her finger along the line as she examines it " Thats quite the road. How might I be useful in such a place?.. I know little else other than music, after all.. Maybe it can help keep whatever beasts at bay a bit?" she tilts her head slightly while looking up at Mirana<br> <br>Shaytalis looks over the road map and nods, "Is there any advantage about the route?  Speed?  Why would someone choose to take it, other than simply not knowing better?"<br> <br>Mirana smiles a bit as everyone agrees to help, and Eriene runs into the orphanage again. "Ok everyone, thank you again dears." She says and orders a covered cart for everyone from the suppliers who have already arrived. "But please make hurry." she says again, then to Shay, "I haven't a clue why they take it, just that they do..." she says again.<br> <br>Kialla hmms quietly as she sighs. "I do hope unnecessary  blood neednt be spilled." she gives... rubbing the bacl of her neck. "I was going to suggest we do that Angus. "<br> <br>Looking up at Kialla the fox chuckles. "Don't we all Kialla." Angus shakes his head as he moves over to the covered wagon, giving Mirana a nod before he hops in and looks at the map again. "Lets just hope we don't get lost while we are looking for the lost suppliers."<br> <br>Dio curiously looks on as the feline speeds out wondering who exactly she is, having only seen her just a few times, if that." Again, he looks at the map, listening to his explanation of the pass. "How interestin'. Maybe someone told 'em to go down that route fer a trap? Who knows? We'll 'ave to go down there and find out ourselves!" Now that the wagon had arrives, Dio takes a moment to inspect and soon walks towards it. "Let's get goin' lads and lasses," he says, finally climbing aboard and taking a seat.<br> <br>Leian rubs her ear lightly in thought, before she heads to the cart with her tail swaying behind her as she climbs in, placing her flute into her sash as she nods a bit " I am certain I'll.. Figure something out to assist."<br> <br>"Yes, indeed. Let us be off." Sveta adjusts the weight of her shield on her back, then climbs into the cart after Dio and Angus. "The pass in question has been getting safer of late. Odd, why something like this would happen...but we'll find out. I'm not so sure if it's a trap or not, but we'll never get anywhere speculating like this."<br> <br>Kialla climbs up into the wagon. "how quaint" she gives with a murr as she made sure to check for everything she might have needed for a trip like this to a dangerous places.<br> <br>Leian pulls her flute out and pulls it to her muzzle, starting to play a soft tune upon it for the ride to the pass, her tail swaying alongside her softly<br> <br>Once everyone is in the cart the driver gets it moving. The trip to the pass is very uneventful, made all the more enjoyable by Leian's music. Once there though, and the path that the supplier takes pointed out, the driver stops and shakes his head, "Whomever is using that path is crazy, goes right by some unstable parts of the Quarry, I'll wish you all luck, but I'm not going." he says, and finishes with, "I'll be waiting for you here though."<br> <br>"Nice playin' lass," Dio comments as he tries to enjoy the ride. In his past, most wagon rides where just men looking down at the floor, silently praying to themselves before they're dropped into battle. A nice change of pace it was, he supposes. "Guess we're goin' on foot now." Dio hops out of the wagon and digs behind his back, taking out an average buckler and strapping it to his arm. "Defense, just in case." Putting a hand to his forehead, he scopes out the area, whistling at the winding path. "Guess we better get goin'."<br> <br>Sveta mutters under her breath as she looks the path over, Leian's music still in her head, but she stands on tiptoe and catches Dio by the shoulder. "Not so fast, my deal Lion of Impetous Impulses. I can see why this trail is supposed to be safer - it's not hard, when you're starting from here. Barely enough for three people abreast, if I'm not wrong...maybe four if you squeezed them. Well! I won't say we're going to have to move in single file, but moving as a rabble isn't going to help anyone. Anyone volunteer to go in front? I will, if no one else wants the spot."<br> <br>Leian tilts her head softly as she shakes it a moment " Probably best I stay in back, in case something might jump out at me.. I am no fighter... Best someone who can defend themself go ahead first." she nods lightly<br> <br>As if to echo the drive's words, rubbling is heard down the path! A few rocks bouncing off the sides of the mountain, and tumbling down into the landscape below.<br> <br>Angus was silent most of the journey towards the trail, but as they stopped he smiles at Leian. "that was a nice tune, thank you." He comments to her as he stands up and hops out of the wagon. Turning he surveys the trail, and walks up next to Sveta to offer her the map. "I'll volunteer for it, if anything comes flying my way I'll just duck and let you catch it with your shield. That sound like a good idea?" He flashes the Goshawk a smile, before he turns to the rest of the group to hear their opinion.<br> <br>"Ah yes, yer right Bird of Quick Plannin'" Dio looks directly at the falling rocks and looks down at his shield. Perhaps helping to save himself from the smaller ones, but not so much the bigger. "Perhaps the bird lass an' I should be in the middle, so we can form an umbrella o' sorts if we need to. Though if any of ya could fly fer long bits o' time, that may be helpful too."<br> <br>Kialla is quiet for the trip once everything gets underway. she leans into a sidsrail.  She looks thoughtful at the predicamdnt as to shom the vanguarx might be.<br> <br>Sveta apparently can't quite decide whether Angus is joking or not, so she defaults to being completely serious. "If you want me to catch anything, Lord Solacious, then it's better that you not take unnecessary risks. Would you stay behind with Dio, in that case? He can keep you safe." With the general group order settled, if Angus agrees to it, she unholsters her huge tower shield from her back and makes ready to go, if everyone is prepared.<br> <br>Leian shakes her head lightly " I know some air magic, but I am afraid it wont help keep me from falling. And I certainly cannot fly, obviously. I shall stay to the back of everyone to best avoid anything."<br> <br>More rumbling and a few more rocks give way! Most of the trail however looks fairly safe, and after that slight shake it seems that things are stabalising once more.<br> <br>Angus nods slowly to Sveta, about to say something back before he stops. His ears twitched, picking up a cry for help in the distance. "...Does anyone else hear that?" He asks, looking to the others before he shakes his head. "I'll be back in a minute." Moving over to the side of the Trail he walks off the side...And instead of plummeting to his doom he floats in place, held aloft by air magic. He then tunrs towards the direction that the voice is coming from and flys off to scout ahead and see whats up.

Mirana paces about outside the Ironforge Orphanage. She is in her finest and looking.. well.. materinal. She takes a moment and decides to sit down, rubbing on her belly, and sighing, "What could be taking them so long, they were suposed to be here an hour ago!" She explaims, looking around a moment more. Frustration is painted on her face, along with a bit of worry.

Leian wanders up to the orphanage, tilting her head curiously as she approaches, her flute held in her paw as she heads up to Mirana " Is something wrong, Mirana? I was just coming by to play for the orphans."

Hearing that perhaps the orphanage could use a little help, Dio gladly came to the vixen's call, having been helping at location here and there and donating from time to time. He seemed to enjoy the place, but perhaps that's accredited to how much of a cub he is himself! "'ello lass," the lions says, joining up with Mira and the growing group. "Need any 'elp there?"

Eriene pokes her little fuzzy head out from the door. Having heard other beings arrive from inside the front hall, she returns to her mistress' side. She glances around, smiling shyly before looking up at her lady inquiringly, her miscellaneous preparatory tasks inside already completed diligently.

Sveta hadn't exactly planned on going near the orphanage - while she admired children in their own way, they were always a little mysterious and perhaps even frightening to her - she arrived the moment she heard Mirana needed help, arriving to join the small group. "Good evening, Lady Solacious, Dio, Leian," she says, giving each of them a small bow in order. "I heard that some help could be used around here?"

Shaytalis was out in the market when she heard that there was a need for assistance at the nearby orphanage. Storytime again? She approaches and nods to the woman outside, "You are in need of assistance?"

Kialla makes her way in, though, this time she seems to be passing by as she notices the raher large gathering. It's quite a lot of people, with Mira standing in as she moves to listen to what's going on at least, offering Mira a wave in greeting from towards the rear of the crowd. A certain fox in tow.

Angus was definitly following Kialla, but in tow? Not so much. "Heard you needed assistance?" The fox asks, a hand resting on the guard of the long sword at his side. His Rapier replaced for the day as he didn't want to wear anything flashy. "Hello Leian, Dio, Mira, Shaytalis, Eriene...Sveta." After speaking the Goshawks name he pulls down the brim of his hat, hiding his eyes as he takes a step away from her.

Mirana sighs again, and pulls Eriene up into her lap, snuggling with her handmaiden as she talks, "I was trying to organise a fund raiser for the Orphanage, a banquet. But the supplies from Cliffside I ordered havn't come in! They take the most insane route I've ever heard, up into the northern areas of Sweetwater and then down through the pass. I can't imagine why, but that is how they do. Anyway, the supplier is more then two hours late! I would just go find them myself, but... I thought it better to look for others to help me while I keep organising things here." she says, looking back in through the doors to the main hall of the orphange. "Think you can find them sweeties?" she asks, giving particular attention to Angus a moment.

"Ahh, hello lass! It's good to see ya again," Dio greets, turning around to wave at Sveta's arrival. "Though it's a little early for evenin' don't ya think?" After a hearty chuckle, the lion look at the fox-in-tow and waves at him as well. "Greetings there, fox-kit." Crossing his arms, he takes a moment to listen to Mirana's account, nodding after she's finished and slamming a fist into his open palm. "I'll help ya, lass! Anythin' to help the orphanage. Suppose we get a transport 'n' search for 'em on their trail?"

Shaytalis nods, "I know the Cliffside region. Are the supplies located in the city proper, or might they have been delayed along the journey?"

Leian tilts her head slightly " Well, thats quite the difference in plans I had for doing, but sure, I can see what I cannot do, after all, my music would be best played during such a banquet. I might not be very much of use in a fighting situation if such happens, but maybe I can distract whatever may be out there with my playing, and hope for the best, if thats the case."

Eriene nuzzles the vixen, licking the underside of her muzzle affectionately before returning her gaze to the others, her ears perking to listen, hoping there was more for her to do in a bit, always wanting to be useful.

Sveta gives Angus a careful, utterly polite nod, then turns her attention back to the rest of the group. "Pardon me, my dear Lion of Acute Time Sense. A slip of the tongue - I suppose I've been up too late last night. Very well, Lady Solacious. Where should we start looking? I take it isn't far, but if it is, Dio's suggestion of some transport would be appreciated."

Angus nods slowly as he crosses his arms, an ear flicking as he thinks over the situation. "Did the supply caravan give you a map of the route they were taking?" He looks over to Dio and nods, before he turns back to Mirana. "I'll come along and see what I can do."

Kialla gives a gentle coo, "It'll be like its own adventure, plus it'll help out here." she gives, nodding to Angus with a smile. "It should be quite interesting to see what has happened." she offers up as she shifts mosto f her weight onto one food.

Mirana smiles a bit as Eriene licks on her a moment, patting the feline softly, "Well, here is their route.." she says, leaning over to pick through her pack and pull out a map with a red line going along it, up through to the pass and over accross mountain areas to the sea, where it continues most likely into Cliffside. "They could have got lost, stuck, or anything anywhere along that route, so maybe transport would be a good idea, I doubt they would still be in Cliffside though." she says. "If anything I bet they got stuck in the pass somewhere." she says, then, sets Eriene down, "Sweetie, could you go make sure the other food isn't getting cold. I'd hate to get the supplies from Cliffside only to have everything else ruined!" she says, "Anything else you need? I really need these supplies as quickly as I can get them." she says to everyone, smiling a bit, "And.. thank you all." she finishes.

"No problem lass," Dio reassures, nodding at the goshawk. "I long fer the evenings as well. An' hopefully we'll 'ave a nice banquet to look forward to if we do 're jobs right." The lion hovers over the map, taking note of the pass in particular. "'as this pass ever 'ad trouble before? Regardless, I'm ready to go if ya can arrange a cart 'r somethin'." His hands fall upon his blade's handle, where he gives it a small flick for emphasis.

Eriene's eyes sparkle brightly with pleasure up at Mirana. Briefly glancing at the others, she smiles warmly and curtsies in her little dress, mewling in response. "Of course Mistress. I'll go and talk to the kitchen and waitstaff and see if there is any way to preserve that which has already been prepared whilst delaying the rest as much as they can.

Rock slides, beats, there are even tales of people upsetting some of the natives and getting in trouble, or just losing their way." He waits, allowing everyone to get a view of the map before he takes it from Mirana's hands and rolls it up. "Think we should travel the path backwards. Would allow us to find them easier probably."

Leian's ears twitch as she looks at the map a moment, running her finger along the line as she examines it " Thats quite the road. How might I be useful in such a place?.. I know little else other than music, after all.. Maybe it can help keep whatever beasts at bay a bit?" she tilts her head slightly while looking up at Mirana

Shaytalis looks over the road map and nods, "Is there any advantage about the route? Speed? Why would someone choose to take it, other than simply not knowing better?"

Mirana smiles a bit as everyone agrees to help, and Eriene runs into the orphanage again. "Ok everyone, thank you again dears." She says and orders a covered cart for everyone from the suppliers who have already arrived. "But please make hurry." she says again, then to Shay, "I haven't a clue why they take it, just that they do..." she says again.

Kialla hmms quietly as she sighs. "I do hope unnecessary blood neednt be spilled." she gives... rubbing the bacl of her neck. "I was going to suggest we do that Angus. "

Looking up at Kialla the fox chuckles. "Don't we all Kialla." Angus shakes his head as he moves over to the covered wagon, giving Mirana a nod before he hops in and looks at the map again. "Lets just hope we don't get lost while we are looking for the lost suppliers."

Dio curiously looks on as the feline speeds out wondering who exactly she is, having only seen her just a few times, if that." Again, he looks at the map, listening to his explanation of the pass. "How interestin'. Maybe someone told 'em to go down that route fer a trap? Who knows? We'll 'ave to go down there and find out ourselves!" Now that the wagon had arrives, Dio takes a moment to inspect and soon walks towards it. "Let's get goin' lads and lasses," he says, finally climbing aboard and taking a seat.

Leian rubs her ear lightly in thought, before she heads to the cart with her tail swaying behind her as she climbs in, placing her flute into her sash as she nods a bit " I am certain I'll.. Figure something out to assist."

"Yes, indeed. Let us be off." Sveta adjusts the weight of her shield on her back, then climbs into the cart after Dio and Angus. "The pass in question has been getting safer of late. Odd, why something like this would happen...but we'll find out. I'm not so sure if it's a trap or not, but we'll never get anywhere speculating like this."

Kialla climbs up into the wagon. "how quaint" she gives with a murr as she made sure to check for everything she might have needed for a trip like this to a dangerous places.

Leian pulls her flute out and pulls it to her muzzle, starting to play a soft tune upon it for the ride to the pass, her tail swaying alongside her softly

Once everyone is in the cart the driver gets it moving. The trip to the pass is very uneventful, made all the more enjoyable by Leian's music. Once there though, and the path that the supplier takes pointed out, the driver stops and shakes his head, "Whomever is using that path is crazy, goes right by some unstable parts of the Quarry, I'll wish you all luck, but I'm not going." he says, and finishes with, "I'll be waiting for you here though."

"Nice playin' lass," Dio comments as he tries to enjoy the ride. In his past, most wagon rides where just men looking down at the floor, silently praying to themselves before they're dropped into battle. A nice change of pace it was, he supposes. "Guess we're goin' on foot now." Dio hops out of the wagon and digs behind his back, taking out an average buckler and strapping it to his arm. "Defense, just in case." Putting a hand to his forehead, he scopes out the area, whistling at the winding path. "Guess we better get goin'."

Sveta mutters under her breath as she looks the path over, Leian's music still in her head, but she stands on tiptoe and catches Dio by the shoulder. "Not so fast, my deal Lion of Impetous Impulses. I can see why this trail is supposed to be safer - it's not hard, when you're starting from here. Barely enough for three people abreast, if I'm not wrong...maybe four if you squeezed them. Well! I won't say we're going to have to move in single file, but moving as a rabble isn't going to help anyone. Anyone volunteer to go in front? I will, if no one else wants the spot."

Leian tilts her head softly as she shakes it a moment " Probably best I stay in back, in case something might jump out at me.. I am no fighter... Best someone who can defend themself go ahead first." she nods lightly

As if to echo the drive's words, rubbling is heard down the path! A few rocks bouncing off the sides of the mountain, and tumbling down into the landscape below.

Angus was silent most of the journey towards the trail, but as they stopped he smiles at Leian. "that was a nice tune, thank you." He comments to her as he stands up and hops out of the wagon. Turning he surveys the trail, and walks up next to Sveta to offer her the map. "I'll volunteer for it, if anything comes flying my way I'll just duck and let you catch it with your shield. That sound like a good idea?" He flashes the Goshawk a smile, before he turns to the rest of the group to hear their opinion.

"Ah yes, yer right Bird of Quick Plannin'" Dio looks directly at the falling rocks and looks down at his shield. Perhaps helping to save himself from the smaller ones, but not so much the bigger. "Perhaps the bird lass an' I should be in the middle, so we can form an umbrella o' sorts if we need to. Though if any of ya could fly fer long bits o' time, that may be helpful too."

Kialla is quiet for the trip once everything gets underway. she leans into a sidsrail. She looks thoughtful at the predicamdnt as to shom the vanguarx might be.

Sveta apparently can't quite decide whether Angus is joking or not, so she defaults to being completely serious. "If you want me to catch anything, Lord Solacious, then it's better that you not take unnecessary risks. Would you stay behind with Dio, in that case? He can keep you safe." With the general group order settled, if Angus agrees to it, she unholsters her huge tower shield from her back and makes ready to go, if everyone is prepared.

Leian shakes her head lightly " I know some air magic, but I am afraid it wont help keep me from falling. And I certainly cannot fly, obviously. I shall stay to the back of everyone to best avoid anything."

More rumbling and a few more rocks give way! Most of the trail however looks fairly safe, and after that slight shake it seems that things are stabalising once more.

Angus nods slowly to Sveta, about to say something back before he stops. His ears twitched, picking up a cry for help in the distance. "...Does anyone else hear that?" He asks, looking to the others before he shakes his head. "I'll be back in a minute." Moving over to the side of the Trail he walks off the side...And instead of plummeting to his doom he floats in place, held aloft by air magic. He then tunrs towards the direction that the voice is coming from and flys off to scout ahead and see whats up.
