The golden stag doesn't seem to answer his words, but instead just keeps leading Cadmus through the forest. He doesn't know how long he's followed this stag; It's hard to tell how long is an hour in the forest without the use of any time-keeping devices. To Cadmus, it feels like the stag is moving as fast as it can without leaving Cadmus's line of sight. 

Evidently, the stag does reach an edge of a hill that drops downward. The stag stops and looks to Cadmus, before looking towards that edge. Could it be that it...wants you to look that way or go that way? Either way, after leading Cadmus there and that moment of silence, it flees and bounds off into the forest away from that precipice! 

Should Cadmus move to look over that precipice, he would see a concerning sight. Four bandits surround Meli, two of them are holding her still and restrained! 

"Alright boys! We got her! Gag her and let's get outta here!" 

Meli is struggling as best as she can against their grips, but they're too strong for her. It doesn't help that there is a net over her, entangling her and making escape that much more difficult! 

Cadmus can see the bandits are already moving away with Meli, but with her struggles, they are moving slower than they normally would. The bandits don't seem to notice Cadmus's presence, and one of them simply moves with the other two. It seems he's preparing for Meli's attempts at escape. 

[hider=OOC]EDIT: Initiative has been rolled! 

Bandits 3 and 1 are the ones holding Meli, so they spend their turn dragging her away by 15 feet.

Bandit 4 had a Perception of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29600]10[/url] so he doesn't notice Cadmus. He moves 15 feet, staying with the other bandits, ending his turn. 

Cadmus's Turn! [/hider]
