"I could go with them if you want."
He made sure his familiars were warm taking some of the bedding from the apc to help insulate his serpent.
He gives Alex the iron spear head. "You know how useful this is if you need it."

Four of Oz's men put long white jackets on and immediately set about
creeping up the hill.

[GM]
A sergeant, and Oz's right hand man, looks at Miles. "Aye, maybe you
can. If you've got some ability to get any intel on what's happening
over that hill, we'd all be greatful." He looks to the rest of the
company. "That goes for all o' you. My men are risking their necks, so
the less risking they have to do the better."

It seems those men are fairly skilled at what they do. Alex, in
particular, appreciates their ability as they almost melt into the
white background, and taking an eye away from them makes them very
difficult to spot. With almost aching slowness they make their way up
the hill.

OOC 1: Forgot to mention this, but you are within a mile of a nexus
point, so all mages are at double range, duration and damage of
spells, as well as being able to draw an additional 10 PPE per level
of experience every 12 hours, and recovering 10 PPE per half hour. For
psionics range and duration are doubled, and psionic energy attacks
are doubled.

OOC 2: I'll give everyone a day or so to make any additional posts
they might want to in aid of the scouts, and then carry on.
