"As he said, time is important, but not immediately pressing. We would do well to take time for caution here." He straightens up here, seeming to recall something from the past for a moment. "Back to the business at hand. As I already said, I am Devin, hired as 'The Night Terror' - a mercenary of the highest order. My skill lies in the shadows, and the versatility with which I practice my arts." At this point, he flicks his wrists, and daggers smoothly slide into his hands, flipping about mid-way, so that their blades point out. "These blades are deadly to anyone, in my hands, and I have long practiced their techniques." To anyone knowledgeable in certain esoteric fighting styles (Martial Lore skill), it is easy to see that his stance allows him freedom to strike from the most advantageous location. The blades return to their sheaths. "Those of you who have not yet spoken about your capabilities, it is now time to do so."

"Well, I suppose it would be good for people to know each other... My name is Tobias Black, and I don't particularly care what you call me. My specialties lie in conjurations... particularly summoning." It is at this point that one of the candles (one that hasn't been snuffed out by a whip) suddenly appears in his hand. If you look quickly, you barely make out a small wisp of smoke dissipating where a candle used to be. Tobias plays with the small flame, letting the melting wax drip onto his hand, not seeming to care one way or the other. "While the church may not like my methods, it seems that they are either quite desperate in this situation, or they actually have an interest in having someone who understands the enemy on this mission, else I would not be here. I do not care what you may think of what I do, just know that my methods are quite effective, and that an enemy beaten is an enemy gone none-the-less, no matter who or what does it." At this point he casually glances at those who have labeled themselves servants of the church (particularly Mathias, the "crusader"). "Oh, and don't go smiting my minions, it becomes straining when my spells are wasted for the sport of my allies..."

Juno stands up from where she was sitting," I am Juno, I sing songs of draconic inspiration, it's good for you all." She smiles and takes a bow before just kinda swaying back and forth with a smile on her face just for the heck of it.

[ooc] BUMP! Come on people, I can't just throw you in the castle, ya know. [/ooc]
The priest stood there, twiddling his thumbs. You had to be completely oblivious not to see that the man was a complete nervous wreck just waiting to happen. "Ummm.... If you wish, you may stay here for the night. Or you could just get started with your quest..." [DM: HINT HINT]

*clears his throat* "Indeed. If there are no questions for the moment, we should leave for the castle." [OOC] AKA if nobody posts a question by tomorrow night, Max - you can assume I lead the party to the castle - cautiously

"I'm ready to get this started whenever, since everyone seems a bit shy. Feel free to lead on, or if you prefer to lead from the rear and just shout directions to those of us closer to the front, thats fine to. However you care to do it." [ooc] I'll follow cautiously whenever he begins leading to the castle. Staying in my usual stance, actively spotting and listening.[/ooc]

Finally leaving his seat at the table Tobias lets out a heavy sigh.
"Let's get this show on the road then."
[ooc]follows catiously (though it isn't quite different from normal walking)[/ooc]

"I have expended several of my spells today, but two I think we shall be fine without for now, and my protective weaves shall hold through the night, I do think." He bows to the good father with a flourish, and setting his hat on his head, he follows in the middle of the troupe.

Shaking his head at Leon, Corvinus waits for Devin to take his position. If he is in front Corvinus stands beside him. If he is not leading Corvinus takes lead. [actively paying attention and just like everyone else, moving cautiously]

Devin does, in fact, take the lead. He allows Corvinus to take the front with him, but slightly behind, so as not to impact his view of the sides.

[ooc] Sorry for the delay, I have been busy with a lot of random things. But now I post. [/ooc]
The Forest of Einnashe
Upon entering the forest, it seems deathly quiet. A commoner would've been unnerved by this and might have turned back. As you walk cautiously on a path deeper into the forest, you start hearing creeks and crack, and the occasional whisp of the wind.
Maybe 30 minutes of walking, you figure you're about half way to the castle. A few of you notice strange movements in the darkness. Others hear footsteps not belonging to your party. It takes those observant enough to realize that this movement came from both sides of the path.
Suddenly, two figures burst from the darkness of the woods, one on the left, another on the right. And they're BIG.
[ooc] I need initiative and marching order. I know Devin is leading followed by Corvinus. The rest of you, where the hell are you?
Also, Corvinus and Renard are surprised. The rest of you actually made the spot and/or listen checks that I rolled for you. [/ooc]

Mathias would be towards the back, probably all the way in the back, having left after everyone else did due to his slow-to-react method, it wouldn't make sense for him to be near the front, especially keeping the watchful look Tobias was giving him to be mutual.
Initiative 12 - 3 = 9

As you said, I'm at the front.
Initiative: 11 + 3 = 14

As much as he is wary of Mathias' hammer, Tobias is most likely towards the back. Most likely he is directly behind Juno, having left directly after her.
Initiative 15 + 2 = 17
