Cabin in the woods

Katsumi stayed unmoving in her tree overlooking the small cabin. She hoped this would not end up being just another lead, after rushing all across Jong Guo she was ready to wrap this one up. She had stayed with Nathan's team to stay free of Darkness's grasp and she didn't know what old mage journals had to do with keeping her free. Then again, she just did her job.

Yavin's journal was suppose to have notes on the construction of an energy lantern, it was stolen by a thief named the spider, who sold it to an underdark prince. The prince lost it as a result of a short war with Madam Mim. Her estate was destroyed by Yavin and later these bandits pillaged it like common thieves. The journal should be there.

Looking through the spyglass, she could see two of the elves carrying supplies into the back of the cabin. She then saw three others leave on horseback into the woods, most likely to go hunting based on their previous routine. Now was the best moment to strike, even without Lana. She signalled Keshala and Duncan. They would be the distraction, by comparison Katsumi had the easy job.

The summoned wolves and raven circled the cabin. When one of the elves went outside to investigate Duncan was there with a strong side kick followed by a roundhouse taking him off his feet. They sent out several more elves to fight Duncan, an opportunity Katsumi used to slip into the cellar.

Duncan took down the third attacker with a spin kick. Two arrows punctured his body but the wounds were quickly dismissed by Keshala's healing touch. He kicked a blade out of one of there hands but missed a block of a thrown dagger that now rested in his throat. Keshala's healing touch again soothed the pain but they were out numbered. Hopefully Katsumi had gotten what she needed.

Just then the cabin went up in flames windows bursting out and flames scaring the night sky. Duncan and Keshala took that opportunity to flee into the woods.

The next morning Katsumi meet them at the rendezvous point and tossed to Duncan a small leather bound book which carried Yavin's seal on the front. "Now we just got to get it back to Nathan. "
Duncan replied, "Good work everyone. Lets hope the Seeker can use this and its worth the price we've paid."
