NytefallWell, as it would be unlike my character to walk into an ambush and I also don't particularly want to there isn't really any other option but for my character to work out from his current information where your character is hidden.

Jok decided to scout quickly through his forest while the hail fell, looking for shelter if required and also deeming it unlikely that anything would be moving across the plains. He quickly noticed a fire close to the centre and next to it was a cave-mouth strangely similar to the one he entered from. Satisfied that he had a contingency plan he used the large pillar with a torch mounted atop it as a reference point and moved swiftly towards the west side of the forest, causing him to discover a river was blocking easy passage to the west side of the island. He remained waiting there at the edge of the forest, stumped for a moment, and then shrugged whole-heartedly. He wasn’t willing to cross the river to complete his scouting mission, even though the hail was already showing signs of stopping, so he moved to the north-most point of the forest with the maximum view of the island.
What a shitty place he thought somewhat bitterly, wishing he had air-support or some other intel to aid him in searching for his hidden foe. He had to assume by this point they weren’t moving or they would have met him half-way or otherwise revealed their presence, and the fact that he hadn’t been engaged yet was narrowing down the positions the threat could be waiting in ambush. Considering the nature of the terrain and what he had seen thus far his opponent could be in one of two rough locations. Mentally the Ramor began mapping out the area which he had moved through, deciding on the safest place for an ambush. He looked out into the distance at the two forested areas from his hidden position and began to think.

Just so you know I want to keep this thread fairly active as a side project like I mentioned, so there will be a three-day post limit followed by an auto-connect further followed by an execution. This applies against me as well, though I'm unlikely to abandon my own thread.
I'd rather not fight Evvie again, if you have any other characters you would like to test against any of mine feel free to issue a challenge.
I should be pretty easy to displace, finding ranked fights has been difficult as no one wants to challenge me ;(
To be fair eight out of thirteen of the characters assembled have some form of magic, so the Sounding is either very biased towards magical people or magic must be relatively common in the world to prevent our group being one huge coincidence.
By the way on the topic of endurance and waiting games I wanted to look up my suit battery life and there's a discrepancy in my sheet, with me stating in the endurance section that it has a life of six hours operational and then later saying it has two hours of life.
If the battle wages long enough for it to be an issue I'm happy to settle for an in between time of four hours as it was my mistake to list two different battery lives. I doubt we will pass two hours of 'real time' though, even with our reluctance to engage.

We're providing DBZ-esque staring contest frustration for anyone reading.
and so the stand-off continues, possibly for another few hours.
Jok was looking out across the empty plains when he noticed clouds forming up on high. Normally he wouldn’t pay attention to something as mundane as the weather, but quite quickly he noticed that the sudden storm approaching was no natural phenomenon. He swore inwardly at his luck, starting to reconsider his earlier elation at being picked for this mission, not only were physics fucked in this strange world but now the weather was all done in as well.
The hail fell with purpose, driving the air to freezing temperature and Jok settled down beneath the shrubbery and the trees to plan his next move. Covered as he was completely in tactical gear he was uniquely protected from the effects of the cold, and the dense coverage above him was more than capable of keeping the hail from bashing against his body. Though he had no reason to consider it his race was particularly resilient to any extremes of temperature and as those things went this storm wasn’t even that bad. Without a piercing wind he was fairly well insulated from the effects of the cold and saw no reason to move immediately.
His armoured exo-skeleton was naturally resistant to the cold and would further protect him from losing heat so he judged he could easily last out in the hail storm for about half an hour, at which point he may seek shelter in a cave like the one he had entered from. With little else to do he kept peering out into the teeth of the storm and waited for it to pass, wondering if the threat would be so well protected from what he thought was a natural by-product of a strange world.
