Devanar nodded.
'Certainly, honoured Maglu'glath, we should continue on the trail.'
He mounted his tortured horse and fell in slightly behind Maglu'glath, but turned again towards Mael.
'I do suppose we should not get too close to the demon camp. I don't want to get within a mile of a Balor, to be absolutely honest.'
Cat snorted dismissively in Daelric's head, but left it at that. He scampered off behind Mag, attempting, unsuccessfully to find what the old goblin was seeing in the sand.

I guess that gave you too little to go on. Actually, nothing, since YOU guys don't know what the tracks are, nor where they are leading. WEEELLL. Let's see....[/spoiler]
[Private for Mag and Agnak]
[spoiler]
The trail, as they had found it, wound - but purposefully - towards the strange pinnacle of rock, seemed to circle around it for a bit, and then continued on, at a marked angle to the previous general direction - northward.[/spoiler]
Mag could follow the tracks for several miles more, they ran relatively straight further northwards into the desert. Then it seemed further efforts had been undertaken to cover them up - including an attempt at masking the scents.
[Please make a survival check for tracking.]
[Private for Daelric]
[spoiler]
As they had been walking for several hours, Daelric received a sending spell. [I'm assuming these don't have a public display, i.e. are telepathic on arrival. It doesn't really say.]
"Still being followed. Will attempt to shake them off, then get back to you. You can destroy the note now."
[ooc:][spoiler]You can make a detect magic with a caster level check on the note if you're quick. If you make a DC24:[spoiler]The note had apparently had a Spymaster's Coin spell [CS] cast on it. Used in this case to get the drop on an otherwise unknown contact.[/spoiler]

[Private for Mael]
[spoiler]
It seemed Vargamion had really pulled some strings. The orders were as vague as they got - Find out what the demons want in the desert! -, and apparently not without danger. It almost seemed like the little devil was trying to get rid of him.[/spoiler]
