Keywords: [ayl] Message-ID: Date: 23 Oct 93 20:20:47 GMT Each member of the party was perparing in his or her own way. Aylyra decided that stealth was important at this time. Concentrating on the woods about them, she stretched out to become one with them, and began a new, slow, chant. "anahnew lo hayan ba aynyim shelahem." her chant started faint, and slowly built up strength until any of the others who were watching could actually see the words being spoken, yet not comprehend them. The words faded into the colors of the forest and slowly encircled the rest of the party. It began to adhere to the skin of each person, weaving inside and out, until all were nearly invisible to the naked eye, although each somehow knew where each other person was. The chant stopped, and Aylyra turned to face the group, and made chirping sounds. Somehow, everyone could understand the words anyway. "I have gained for us the protection of the woodlands. Although we can sense and hear each-other, anyone else will only see us as a faint distortion, and only then if they look hard. I dare not risk a more powerful enchantment to totally conceal us. Our voices will also be masked as backgroud noises of the forest, although if we enter a quiet area, this will give us away as easily as normal speech. With luck, we can ambush the ambushers, and get some answers. Ryn, Eski, you to seem to have more combat experience than the rest of us. If you do not object, I believe one of you should lead, and the other scout ahead, and inform us of the positions and strengths awaiting us. John, Winter, and Lex should prepare magical assistance. As long as I am maintaining our cover, I will be of little help, it takes most of my concentration. I will try to help as much as I can. Once we are discovered, they will probably try to remove the cover, if they have the ability. At such a time, I will drop the spell and aid more directly." [ADMIN: This is a perfect place for Ryn/Eski to make a notable addition to the story.
