"As I said before, I'm here to do the exact same thing you are here to do," Jamna replies.

"Your overall goal is to stop the cultists," Kysriani says. "Which is something we share," she adds. "But I believe our methods of getting that done is different. You seem eager to take care of them as soon as possible, while we are sitting back and biding our time," she points out to Jenma. "Our goal, at this point of time, is to wait."

Henry - HP: 36\36 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None--------------- "As I said before, I'm here to do the exact same thing you are here to do," Jamna replies. "With all due respect, this is not answer to my question." Quevalin says in an almost apologetic tone "As fair Kysriani has said, while we do share the same enemy our current mission might be vastly different, as our methods of accomplishing it." the half-elf tries to be calm, collected, diplomatic as to avoid making Jamna an enemy the party doesn't need right now "I do thank you for warning us about the assassination attempt and know that I would certainly return the favour; that said, being a little more forthcoming would certainly do much in smoothing whatever agreement we might strike this evening."OOC: Persuasion roll to convince Jamna in revealing more about her goals in the caravan. pSGJFhkJ1d20+61d20+6

"Yes, I already said I agree with you on that matter, dearie," Jamna says to Eliana patiently.
Henry's words, however, seem to fail to move her any. "You sure are something, accusing me of not being forthcoming when none of you have revealed who you are working for, either. I saved your lives, and dropped that tidbit about Jos for you. If that's not enough to earn your trust, then I suppose nothing will. Just know, the cultists know who you are, and have already tried to kill you once. They'll probably try again at some point. If I were you, I'd take allies where I could find them. But if you don't want to work together, so be it. Just don't get in the way then." She then walks off.

Kysriani lets out a sigh as Jemna walks off, and shakes her head. "That could have went better," she says to the others. "But her goal seems a little more personal, but that is only my assumption."

"Might be so, but I'm not so sure." Quevalin sighs, then shakes his head "Well, guess we'll see how it goes with her. One thing for sure, we have to keep our eyes open. Next time the Cult tries to murder one of us, they might decide for a more direct approach." he turns to look at each of his companions "I believe we should start sleeping as close as our 'duties' allow; we could take turns, watch over the others - I would avoid anything too overt, but at the end of the day if the Cult is out to kill us we have to take precautions."

"Ol' Matrym be thinkin', if'n the cultists be tryin' to off us, best to off 'em first," Caelin says. "Let's slip into their camps tonight, and give 'em second smiles with our daggers."
"That would be ill-advised," Benyt argues. "Besides, that's not what we're here for. And even if we pull it off, they'll all be dead, and we'll have no idea where they were heading."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 35/35 - AC: 17 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Yep, I agree with Bea-erm... Benyt on this one! I don't want to kill them, especially Fenn, before we know their true motive at least. Their actions are so confusing to me, I really can't get a read on them!" " On my part, I'll keep having Gale keep on eye on everyone during the night. In case he notices anything out of the ordinary he'll warn me." - she answers to Henry. - " Although I don't think they'll act again now that our guard is up."

"Killing them right now isn't an option," Kysriani says. "And it isn't what we set out to do like, Benyt said. We just need to lay as low as possible for now, and keep on alert. They will try again. If they can't get to us, they might even try getting to the people we are supposed to be protecting," she points out.

"Alright, alright," Caelin says, holding his hands up defensively. "Ol' Matrym knows when he's outvoted. But if'in Ol' Matrym be seein' an opportunity, he might be takin' it, just so's ya knows."

"I won't stop them if you try to murder one of them." Quevalin starts saying to Matrym, a much more somber tone "In the end, they are the enemy and they have tried to murder us. It might seem only fair that we repay them with the same coin. Yet I would refrain from doing so." the half-elf sighs and looks in the distance "In battle you have to kill, that's a given; it's easy to see the life of our enemies as worthless, to be disposed of as soon as there's the chance to do so even if you're not in danger. But such a path diminishes us, makes us that little bit closer to be like our enemies - and in turn, our enemies never see that there's another path they might take." that said, he kindly pats Matrym's shoulder "Do what you have to. I just ask you to think about it."
His brief sermon over, he nods to the others and says "I do agree, let's try to rest. As I said, let's try to sleep as close as our duties allow, so that whoever is awake might watch over you."

The next couple of days are largely uneventful. The party awakens this day, however, to a commotion over by one of the cultists' wagons. A crowd of caravaneers have gathered. Once the party makes their way there, they see the source of the commotion--a dead body. Specifically, it's one of the cultists' guards--a human man in his late 40s, perhaps. He seems to have been run through from behind, gauging from the large wound in his torso.
==================
It is now Fleurgreen 13th, day 35 on the road.

The only thing Zakkoth can be sure of is that the victim was stabbed in the back with a blade--short sword, based on the size of the wound.
