[center][h1][color=chocolate]Edward Marsh[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] No matter where they went, no matter how hard they tried to avoid it, trouble seems to have a knack at finding the Rat Party. When they finally thought that they caught a break and found a place they can make camp, there comes these bandits that thought similarly that the barrow would be a perfect place for their camp. [color=chocolate]'Goddamnit.'[/color] Ed thought to himself as he deliberately slowed his movements to lessen the chance of him getting detected by the three big-eyed lizard humanoids and activated [b][Muffle II][/b] to make sure that his chances of being detected were as low as he could possibly make it. Though, unwelcomed, they did pique the former human's curiosity. He heightened his [b][Beast Sense II][/b] to focus solely on his sight to help the rat-man see in the low light conditions and allow him to perform [b][Monster Analysis I][/b] on each of the three and determine whether or not they would be able to dispatch them before they can call to the larger and better equipped humanoids if they needed to. Their things were, thankfully, well hidden at the back of the burial mound; one could even easily mistake it as just a nest or bedroll of some kind in the low light. But retrieving items from it would make too much noise and would alert the creatures of his presence rather easily. So, as of now, he slowly crept his way to the entrance of the burial mound. Hoping to whatever god listened to him that he could perform this action without being detected by their unwanted guests.
