Aalmon looked around and smiled, in this new place his longer teeth 
seemed natural. He had travelled strange paths before and if this one 
was stranger than most he had better not let it show, the group looked 
shocked enough already 'I think this is where I need to find us a route 
in. I can usually stay out of trouble if I follow my nose and look for 
the most peaceful way through.' he says, tapping the side of his nose 
for emphasis. Then for a time he gazes up at the stars, reciting 
something in his strange foreign tongue under his breath as he seemed to 
follow some crazy line between the stars towards the North with his eyes.

He leans down in the saddle and speaks with Baros 'speak with the 
animals, those that have evaded the wolves fangs will know secret paths 
that we can follow and their scents and sounds will mask ours.' with a 
grin he looks over to Icthya 'if you can speak with the plants perhaps 
you could help Baros find the hidden ways? If the spririts still whisper 
the location of Kerala then please tell me of that also.' Baros skips 
off with an extra little bounce in his step at these last words.

Thoughtully rubbing a silver amulet he turns towards Beast, 'Is there 
any chance someone can wake him, I will try to hide our progress from 
the Telmori by using the darkness I am sure he has darkness magics that 
could help’.

He speaks out a little more clearly so everyone can hear 'try to stay on 
the path I set - and keep your eyes and ears open for any nasty 
surprises.' With that he stopped and appeared to pray and a shroud of 
darkness seemed to wrap itself around the group, protecting them from 
unseen eyes.

The group set off zig-zagging and meandering through unseen gaps in 
woodland, down deer trails and up goat-tracks. At each twist or turn 
Aalmon spent a moment gazing upwards, tracing a route across the stars. 
A route visible only to him.

OOC: Once again a HP will be used if necessary. Aalmon should be getting 
some very hefty augments due to the full moon and I expect we will be 
seeing some creative and inventive augments from elsewhere :-)

Let me know if you need to know what I think this all means in game 
mechanics!
