Darl, Gerard, Anastasia, Daniel

Most of what the bats are doing comes across unintelligible. The cave/shelter formation looks like a bunch of bats flying in circles. Anastasia and Gerard can feel the sharp claws of the bats digging into their hands. Not enough to draw blood, but it is uncomfortable.

Anastasia feeling the pull of one of the bats,after looking at the bats in the air and deciphering the bats formation of what appears to be an arrow, she looks over to Gerard and sees another bat pulling him at the same time.
"Well, I do believe these little guys are trying to tell us where to go here, and this has to be a sign from Daniel ..he must have found something better for us so I think we should hurry and go ..What do you guys think? I don't think we should stall any longer since he was looking for a cave, that would be better than this spot."

[Ryloc]

"I agree lets get things together and we can go. Hopefully there is enough of an area to keep the vehicle close. It's also getting darker the longer we wait so shall we?"

[Manson-Mage]

Daniels attention draws to Gerard, the bat stand up. He motions ith his wings out and tries to convey that there is plently of room for everyone and atv. And again he motions for everyone to hurry up.

[giggles]

Anastasia notices more the revelation of the bats message and scurries around and tries to hurry people into the atv, as it seems they need a little pushing..."We need to go now..just like we've been sitting around chit chatting..lets go!"
Anastasia jumps into the atv and awaits everyone else at this point....Daniels conveyance is showing us where to go and before there's any danger here, and since Daniels helped us out in this..we can set up and get things arranged before its dark.

Darl watches the swirling bats with interest. A fleeting thought crosses his mind ... but he dismisses it with a chuckle, thinking that Daniel probably wouldn't appreciate him casting 'Summon and Control Rodents' at this very instant ... and after all, he's trying to play nice.

As he notes the arrow formation the bats are attempting to form, he heads off at a jog; not bothering to spend time consulting with the rest of the party. Not sure whether Daniel is attempting to signal shelter, their quarry, the Shade, or something else, he figures that the quicker they check it out, the quicker he can be on his way towards Chisel Town tonight.

As the rest of the group stands around discussing what to do about the most recent invasion of flying bats, Darl silently takes off at a jog towards the direction of the bat arrow. He silently swerves back and forth between the pillars towards the other half of the bats that are still hovering in the air above a point in the landscape ahead. Using his keen senses he keeps a look out for any potential dangers that might appear around any corner. Other than the heat radiating from the bats ahead, all seems quiet.

Rounding one final corner Darl comes to a halt in front of a small cave. The entrance to the cave mouth is hidden by a stand of pillars. There’s enough room in front of the cave to park the ATV and plenty of room in the cave for everyone to stay. A quick glance inside the cave reveals that it’s even been used before. He sees a chipped mug and some broken pottery over by one wall and a wadded up old blanket in another spot. The blanket appears tattered and barely serviceable. The back of the cave is too dark for most people to make out fully, but Darl does detect a cool spot at the back of the cave which Darl recognizes as most likely a pool of water.

A few minutes later Jordan, Gerard, Anastasia and Zeke find their way to the cave and see the same things as Darl with the exception that the back of the cave is not visible to them at all while they stand outside in the light of day. A faint humming can be heard back in the pillars as Ethram tries to navigate the ATV through the terrain.

As Daniel sees the group make their way to the cave, he cancels his self swarm talent.

All the bats come together and slowly appear to turn into a blacken tar . As the tar comes together, the sounds of the tar like substance starts to make abubble sounds as various parts form and come together an thicken and soon ater harden to take the fimilar winged creature everyone knows as daniel.

After he recollects himself, "Its bout bloody time you guys figured out what I was sadly tying to tell you. "

Daniel shifts back to his human form grabs his shirt outta his pack and puts it on.

[giggles]

Anastasia looks around at the cave..nothing in particular at the moment at the quick glance before she sees Daniel.
"Well well looks who got here himself! But ya it took a bit trying to figure your little friends back there in what they were doing and trying to say but we got it finally."

[Manson-Mage]

"Well gee Anastasia. I was only tryin to tell you to get up and get your ass moving. Darl at least got a hint to get moving. But the important thing is at least everyone made it ok. Now just need to get camp set up. " Daniel slings his bag over his shoulder and walks into the cave and looks for a good spot to crash for the night.
