Noxa followed Yu's lead, sliding off her horse and leading the beast off the road. It felt so surreal; the night was peaceful otherwise, the sky clear and the air spotted with torchbugs and the occasional lunar moth. Noxa did her best to keep her footsteps quiet as she left the road, patting her horse to keep the mare calm and looking around to see if there was cover nearby.

Dar'Shenn kept a little distance from the rest of the group. before the imperials arrived, he managed to snatch a few coin purses. It was a minor catch, not enough to hire another courier. This angered the Khajiit greatly.

The thumping grew louder as its source drew nearer, eventually revealing itself to be a lone mammoth. The magnificent beast was large and its tusks were long enough to impale a fully grown horse.

Noxa peeked around the rocky outcropping she was sheltering behind, then let out a sigh of relief as she made out the large and extremely hairy silhouette of the mammoth. It was enormous and probably very strong, but Noxa doubted it was out to cause them trouble specifically. She looked around from her sheltered spot, trying to see if she could spot the others.

Slow as a snail to pick up on things, Sophia got left out in the open. It took her nubby mind a while to realize what was happening. No. She didn't actually know what was happening, but still she just followed everybody's lead.
She was just getting off her horse when it sensed the danger. The presence of the lone mammoth made her horse uncomfortable. The horse bucked hard, really, really hard throwing Sophia off. It happened so fast that the young mage didn’t know what was happening until she hit the ground. Her leg went first and it got twisted upon impact. She screamed in agony as the pain shot up her leg. But she fought.
Gritting with pain and with tears flowing from her yes, the farm girl strove to get off from the road, her horse already gone. With one arm holding her injured leg, she crawled with the other arm and leg, which slowed her.
The mammoth was quickly drawing near, she could now feel the heavy pounding on the ground. She looked at the mammoth which was getting ready to crush her. Having a weak mind and heart, she cried for help, the only thing she think she could do. Again, she questioned herself. She should’ve not left the farm in the first place.

((Nah, you're good.))
The mammoth moved off, ignoring Sophia and her horse, as Drystan and Thorald rode back.
"The fort is secure. " said Thorald, who had a bandaged wound on his right forearm. "There were a couple of bandit squatters there, but nothing we couldn't handle.
"I suggest we move there as quickly as possible. Sabrecats prey this area at night, and I'd rather not have to tangle with them." said Drystan. He then noticed Sophia lying on the ground wounded a few paces away from them. Drystan ran over to her to see what was wrong. "Oh, dear. Looks like a sprained ankle. Let me see what I can do."
Drystan cast a spell and with his warm healing hands he went over Sophia's ankle gently. "There. It's not up to its full capacity, but with a good night's rest, you should just fine in the morning."

Noxa lead her horse back to the road before remounting. Taking Drystan's words to heart, she kept an eye out for sabre cats.

((Thank you!  ))
The farm girl froze as the mammoth veered away from her. She felt her breath stop along with her heartbeat. For once again, she had evaded death. Again she wondered why was this happening to her, what was her fate. It became an endless cycle of thoughts and questions and she was beginning to get tired of it.
She was full of shame as she wiped her tears dry. Her previously cheerful face turned miserable. She was trying to get on her feet when Drystan came.
"Oh, dear. Looks like a sprained ankle. Let me see what I can do."
Sophia turned away from Drystan, avoiding contact with his eyes, still wiping the tears which refused to stop flowing out. She couldn't bear any more the humiliation. She was speechless. Neither an apology nor gratitude parted her lips. If someday her employer decided to sell her to slavers, she wouldn’t be surprised.
When Drystan left her, it was only then she began to move. She stood slowly and carefully, trying out her injured leg. When she felt no more pain she walked towards her horse, which for a second she thought ran away during the mammoth attack. Well maybe she was just hallucinating as a result of fear and despair.
Slowly, Sophia mounted her horse again and steered it in the fort’s direction. On the way, she kept her head low with no hint of cheerfulness showing on her face.

During the remainder of their journey to the abandoned fort, Noxa thought she saw something slinking around off the road in the dark. Sabrecat?
"Did you see that?" she asked her nearest companion.

((Sooo, it’s just you and me now Kareeah? ))
"Did you see that?"
Sophia, still feeling sad and low, half-heartedly heeded Noxa’s question. The young mage assumed that the blacksmith was trying to point out something in the dark. She followed her direction and noticed nothing was there.
“I don’t know. I can’t see anything, it’s too dark”, she said still trying to figure out what her companion was about.

"Dar'Shenn, can you see anything?" asked Drystan as he drew a sword, knowing that the Khajiit's eyes were better suited for nighttime.

Dar'Shenn was aiming his with his bow at random direction, where he saw the silouette.
- There's definitely something allright. Moves fast, too fast for a bear. Not sure what it is though. May well be one of those fierce sabrecats or other nasty creature.

Yu did not voice an opinion, instead he stared warily out into the night. He walked next to his horse, leading it by the reins in one hand and his blade in the other. He kept both himself and his animal in between Noxa and the side of the road, as she seemed to be the most vulnerable of the group right now, what with Sophia riding next to Drystan.

Night eyes glared out of the darkness at the group. Yet the beast was not stupid enough to attack the entire group at once. It fled, perhaps to find another meal or to wait until the group was separated.
Drystan opened the gate into the tower of the fort, saying, "Let's go, we don't want to stay out any longer than we should."

- That we should- Said Dar'Shenn who still hasn't lowered his guard. If the beast suddenlly decided to pounce, he'd be ready to fire an arrow. Slowly he moved towards the tower entrance.

((Yay, activity! ))
"Whatever it is, we ought to form ranks and beat it off before it has a chance to strike from the shadows."
Noxa gave Septimus a sidelong look—not that he'd be able to see it. That particular course of action seemed to her a slight overreaction to a single wild beast, who hadn't actively troubled them yet.
Hearing Dar'Shenn ready his bow, Noxa almost did the same, but thought better of it after a moment and instead guided her horse into the tower at Drystan's bidding.

Upon hearing the beast flee Septimus hoped for a little respite. (from the wearisome journey) He turned his horse with a jerk and rode in the general direction of Drystan (id est, ze tower)

The entire group made camp inside the ruined fort near the smithy where they lit the old forge.
"Even though we're inside the fort, we should still be cautious and set up a night watch." said Drystan as he drew his bow. "The sabre cat may yet find another way in. I'll take first watch with someone else. Any volunteers?"

Sophia was relieved when the beast diverted its attention from their group. She wouldn’t one another attack to happen because she was afraid she might be trouble again. As she laid out her bedroll, she heard Drystan speak. The farm girl suddenly felt she had to do this task just so she could help the group.
“I’ll do it,” she said in a low soft voice raising her hand trying to catch Drystan’s attention.
