Well I didn't know that so I appreciate the random trivia lol!

Like I said, that's new information, since I've only seen the first two movies and read half of The Hobbit. If that isn't plausible there, maybe she can just see a little farther than the others?

They got going again, and the wagon continued down the dirt road, rattling along. According a map Nera had found in the Master's stuff, they had about another 3 days before making it to Morduno.

They passed a few more way stops like the first one, but they were very spread out, and during this time of day mostly empty looking. There was also some traffic--the occasional merchant wagon or hiker, but it was by no means busy.

(Anyone who didn't rest before, this is your chance now)

The travelled for another two hours, past noon, without interruption.

Jerehlu had sent the first group out already--his lightest travelers that could overtake the wagon and come back from the other side.

Now, the other group was stalking quickly through the countryside. Jerehlu had explained that the road was on a curve, which meant if they cut through the wilderness they could catch up to their target fairly quickly.

It was a little past mid day when they got close. Jerehlu stopped them to observe the road, where they could see the wagon ambling down the way, tiny from here.

@Dragonheir

Alvar stalks along, checking his equipment thoroughly. He stays close to Jerehlu, completely willing to take any opportunity handed to him.

She let Lusha take the reigns, and sat back to ready her crossbow.

"Oh I forgot, I got these for you," Nera handed her the bundle of arrow's she'd bought.

Dint was resting, so he could not alert people to this threat.

Oh yeah, I'm totally fine with her having advanced elf senses and stuff, I just don't think she'd see them yet as they are behind the wagon and pretty far away.

They started moving again, following behind the wagon on the side of the road, slowly drawing closer.

After another few minutes of peaceful travelling, an arrow shot out of the woods ahead of the wagon, slamming into the wood.

"Dangit," Nera cursed, "A new one?"

Ooooh see I thought they were in front of the wagon that makes more sense

Lusha cursed as well and pulled the arrow out of the wood before shooting it back.

Heartache appears next to him, and proceeds to barf up twice her weight in warm, dry blankets, pillows, bows, swords, gloves, clothes, shoes, socks and arrows.

"Ah, much better."

Dint wakes up due to superhuman senses that come with being an elf.

He immediately comes to attention, being much better rested. Stalking out, he grabs his crossbow and exits the wagon discretely, then started to circle around the bandits.

From behind the bandits, Dint, shot an arrow at their leader, Jerehlu. Or whatever his name was.

"It's not even night yet!" Nera yelled, shooting a crossbow shot into the trees.

Such an attack from the bandits would have worked better under darkness, now that they knew there were bowmen in the trees, they weren't hard to spot. Another few shots hit the wood of the wagon with a series of loud thunks. 

Despite revealing themselves, they didn't leave the trees.

Jerehlu had stopped again, raising a hand to shield his eyes as he stared forward.

"That's odd . . . the wagon has stopped, why aren't they leaving the trees?'

He motioned for a small squad to separate from the group and approach the fight to figure out what was going on. Alvar could go with them, or stay here.

please let me re-iterate that these guys are still pretty far off, and have given you no clue that their yet.

I hate to say 'no you can't do that' in this kind of rp, but i decided not to let Lusha notice them, so it feels unfair to let your character notice them. Like I said, I love the elves having better senses, but it shouldn't be something overpowered. You guys will be able to handle them, I promise, just wait a little bit okay? The reason why I'm writing about them is because Alvar is with them, and Dragonheir needs to know what they're doing so he can participate.

If anyone is confused, there are two bandit groups. One is with Jerehlu and Alvar, far behind you but able to see you, coming down the side of the road. The other consists of bowmen in the trees in front of the wagon.

Ok, so…

I do that when they are a lot closer.
