With all the injured carried inside the walls and further into a tent where a triage was set up, 3 rows of injured fighters were being taken care of. Fighting monsters as one allowed the village to completely minimalise heavy casualties. When one were to fall, another was there to protect them, though that didn't mean ordinary people could continue fighting a battle with broken bones or a gaping flesh wound. Many of the patients that we already treated made way so the injured the group was carrying could be looked at immediately. Individuals wearing white who were no doubt medics thanked the team for carrying them and took the injured away to be treated. Calen and Cami followed them assisting however way they could. "Is there anything we can do to help?" Cami asked a nearby medic. The nurse accepting the help showed the two to provide food and water to the treated patients.

A bandaged man with a crutch limped over to where the group was helping in the tent. "Are you the huntsmen going to look for the beast woman? I'm from the scout team that she helped escape, I'll show you the way to fine her" after leading the three a ways through the village they came to a back entrance gate that trailed into an area that couldn't seem to make up its mind if it wanted to be a mountain or forest terrain so it became both. The ground was rock and boulder but patches of dirt that seeped into the cracks grew ordinary trees.a path of pebbles and dirt was the only trail inside. "Follow this trail inside, if you reach a fork in the bend you've gone too far she should be somewhere in between here and the fork" the man explained

'Well best of luck then.'Calen remarked, waving as the rest of the party departed. 'We'll be just a call away and if you could get us any information on Grimm movements that could help in the defence effort.' Calen then settled in the large impromptu hospital, doing anything he could do to help. There was always work to be done so at first Calen was very busy but as time went by the wounded stabilised and he was less and less needed. Excusing himself Calen used the lull to get some practice of his bladework in while the rest of the team was away. The graceful movements drew a small crowd but Calen didn't notice, lost internally in fights of yore and which never happened.

Much as Rory wasn't inclined to agree with Justice on things, in this instance the suit-clad upperclassman had a very good point. The urgency of the matter was further reinforced when one of the wounded showed them where they needed to go, a back exit out of the village. That was a bit surprising... as was the use of the term 'beast woman'. Was Gaud a Faunus, then? Or was that describing something else about her...?

They'd find out eventually, assuming they found her. Rory gave his thanks to the scout and tried quickly to synchronize his goggles' map function to their whereabouts; the path described wasn't clearly marked in any way on records he had access to, but that wasn't unheard of for local features this far outside the kingdoms. He turned and addressed Calen. "Give us a call if anything happens here -- I'll try to keep you updated on our progress."

Gaud, Rory reminded himself, had stood her ground to let the scouts escape -- against what was the question. "We should expect trouble." He activated his shields and broke into a brisk jog down the path, alert to any signs of violence, disturbed earth, or other indicators of trouble.

A medical roundup, a brief walk through the not-entirely-awful village, and a sip from his thermos later, Justice walked briskly down the pathway. "It will not help us to rush ahead. I will best be able to find her. We cannot keep our pace too high while being equally effective. There is a very low likelyhood that the difference in pace will cause a gap long enough for the woman to die." he said, keeping his pace at a brisk walk.

He knew that if they started going too fast, he would never get the opportunity to sense her. If this woman had the skill set that her reputation would suggest, then she was doing one of three things. Firstly, she could be fighting. In that scenario, it would be easy to find her and moving faster would be the optimal move. Second, she could be dead. Moving at a faster pace would simply go toward tiring them out, putting their mission more at risk than it needed to be. Finally, she could be injured. A survivalist would be smart to attempt to get out of sight, and his semblance could detect her even if she was not visible. But, if they started moving too quickly, the gaps in between his semblance working at full capacity could lead to them not finding her and her dying. As much as he wanted to see the singer show some kind of interesting emotion, he was not cruel enough to allow someone sworn to their protection to die needlessly.

Camelia more or less wordlessly followed her teammates - she wasn't exactly the best-suited to search & rescue, so just going with the flow really was the best option here.

The trio followed the path made up of pebbles into the mountain forest. The terrain under their feet making crunching noises as they went. It was subtle but the terrain sloped down at a barely noticeable angle. The deeper they went the thicker the trees and vines seemed to get. Every now and then traces of battle could be seen throughout the trail and off of it.

Objects of past battles littered the forest; brass casings of all sizes, every now and then an empty magazine, the occasional throwing knife, more then a few dozen arrows embedded in trees or broken on the ground, and black circular scorch marks suggested more then a few explosives. One look at the metal on the marks of war showed no signs of rust on them. The trees of the forest also told a story, dust rounds impacted on the bark, slashed cuts from bladed weapons, and most ominous of all was a stump with a perfectly clean cut, the rest of the tree fallen over to one side with a similarly perfectly flat cut.

The environment acted as a kind of bowl as the path went downhill, the mist that before only reached up to their knees all of a sudden collected and entirely surrounded the trio, making visibility difficult.

This was not a good situation. As the fog seemed to swallow them whole Rory quickly toggled the functions on his goggles, searching for a setting that would improve visibility under these conditions. Thermal was a no-go -- although it was better than nothing and would show spots of radiant heat in the fog the effective range right now was so limited he'd almost be better off squinting at shadows, so unless something was throwing off huge amounts of hot or cold it just wasn't worth it. Night vision mode, however, proved somewhat better suited. He could, at least, clearly see the ground ten feet ahead of him, which made walking that much less treacherous. It didn't pierce the veil of haze nearly so well as he'd like, but at least it was something.

The shield fighter thought back to those signs of battle they'd passed on their way here. This was contested territory, no doubt. If a Grimm made its nest down here they'd have a hard time fending it off. "... Justice, when you said you'd 'best be able to find her', what did you mean?" If his teammates had skills, powers, or equipment that could help it was best to know about it, regardless of how much dislike he might have for the upperclassman. They were all, quite literally, in the thick of it together now, after all.

Justice continued onward through the mass of fog, keeping his semblance up as he went. "I happen to have a particular tool at my disposal. I am empathetic. I can sense the emotions of the people around me. I could tell how scared that singer girl was.
I could feel the malice in the words of Mr. Stibnite. I can taste the disdain you have for me at this very instant."
he said, turning sharply to face his questioner with the last sentence. As much as he would prefer to keep his abilities a secret for his own amusement, not speaking about his capacity to find this woman would only cause further issues down the line.

"As such, I will be able to sense this beastly woman's emotion even if we cannot see her. And I do hope that we find her when she's fighting. I have wanted to emulate someone with that much bravado in the thick of battle. It sounds...primal." he said, turning once more to face down the path. He made sure to keep within range of Rory. He did not want his source of entertainment running off while he looks around.

As the fog/ground mist suddenly rolled over her and her teammates, Camelia took out Orion and a half of Unity, mostly intending to take the brunt of any sudden attack coming from where they couldn't see. She kept a harp watch, though. Better safe than sorry. Plus, the battle had happened pretty much directly where they were right now, who knows what still lurks around.

She listened to Justice's explanation as they all kept trekking forward, following the measly path through the forest. "That sounds like... quite the thing. Is it ever difficult to deal with?"

The only warning it gave off was the fast moving projectile, three in all, one for each of them. A baseball sized black orb with a red band on it. It silently flew through the mist and struck the ground in front of the trio.

[AMBUSH]

Three explosions went off in quick succession each aimed at each of the group's feet. At the same time as the attack started a rustling came from the trees as a blur jumped from branch to branch observing how the trio reacted.

It took a long moment for Justice's words to fully sink in, not because Rory didn't understand them... but because he was coming to terms with the full depth of them. His breath caught in his throat as he mentally played back everything he'd thought and felt ever since meeting Justice, flashes of embarrassment and anger surging through him as the implications hit home. What he'd just revealed was voyeurism that bordered on mind reading! Suddenly he understood Justice's commentary on himself and others in an entirely new, and entirely uncomfortable, light, and shuddered at it.

Just how deep could his senses go? Was it just moment-to-moment on the surface... or did it run deeper, the ability to read the emotional fingerprint of a person's soul?

...What else did he know, or have insight enough to guess at?

Through sheer will, Rory tamped down on that mental line of questioning. It wouldn't help. He decided he would take a slow, deep breath, focus himself, and--

When the attack came, there was no clear warning. One moment he was focused on how best to keep Justice from reading him like a book, the next a dark blur of movement aimed at his feet erupted in an explosive burst. Had he been fully battle-focused his Aura would've handled the impact much better, but with his attention scattered it ended up taking the full blast and knocking him several feet to the side. On the upside, getting hit by the blast did clear his head and get him focused... so, that was something, at least. The shield fighter's tactical mindset was quickly in full swing -- as vambraces activated and unfolded he was already sinking into a defensive crouch, one hand switching his goggles to voice control as he tried to track what little movement he could make out through the fog. "Damnit!" Whatever was coming at them could see better than they could in this fog and was too far away for his view modes to make out. What was even attacking them? He didn't know of any varieties of Grimm that incorporated thrown explosives -- it seemed far more likely their attacker was human, Faunus, or something else. Not daring to look away, he asked the obvious question. "Justice?"

Justice had kept dutifully on the lookout for the woman, and had not expected anyone to attempt a long range attack through the fog. "Indeed. I always find it fascinating when someone will act one way when they feel the complete-" he managed to say before the sphere landed at his feet. A quick dodge was not enough to keep him from feeling the impact as the explosion sent him to his knee.

After standing up and transforming his weapon, he fired straight up and turned off his semblance. After a second to breathe, he activated it again at full range. "Keep your eyes open! We are to find this person and retrieve them alive!" he shouted to the underclassmen. The rustling of the trees gave him, at best, a vague idea of where this attacker was. As such, he prepared to strike down from above the instant he had a proper position.

Camelia, while still on the lookout for something in the overwhlemingly dense fog, listened as Justice responded to her inquiry with what she could've sworn was a genuine, somewhat excited tone, completely different from his mild disdain and/or oozing sarcasm up until now.

Well, she tried to appreciate it but was rudely interrupted as a small orb appeared from within the billowing mist and landed right in front of her, detonating as it did so. Her shield absorbed part of the blast, but damn her if this didn't fucking singe her exposed skin.

Now, she had two choices. She could either continue fighting like this, or try and do something about this FUCKING CLOUD they were wading through. She backed up - further than the blast had shoved her - towards her teammates, keeping alert towards any movement in the fog. "Guys! My shield has a short-range, non-contact stun option, but I think I might also be able to take care of this goddamn mist for a time if you cover me!" She took the opportunity to switch Orion into its second form, ready to fire a blast of electricity upon confirmation of the target's location.

It was only a little but the initial three explosions blew away the immediate vicinity of the fog, but it wasn't long before it would consume the group again. Those with perceptive vision could see a humanoid blur of brown, grey, and blue. The branches continued to rustle, in fact whatever was moving was so fast the rustling seemed to be coming from all directions. When a rustling could be heard from the left it would come from the right, when it came from in front it came from behind, in fact the longer it continued the noise could suddenly be heard from multiple directions, the chaos only becoming louder and louder. After a moment of continued rustling just as fast it started, it stoped abruptly. The misty forest went ominously quiet for a split second until it was interrupted by one last rustle on a tree directly to the right of the group.

'We're being set up...' Rory couldn't help but think. The rustling had been a blur of sound and motion all around them, and now suddenly it was very obviously in one place. A line from an old Mistrali strategy text popped into his mind: Attack where he is unprepared; emerge where he does not expect it. With one skilled at defense, the enemy does not know where to attack; with one skilled at attack, the enemy does not know where to defend. Make a noise in the east, then strike from the west. The movement in the tree was too obvious, and there was nothing to keep the enemy from concealing themselves in the fog. What's more, he had to assume whomever or whatever was hounding them could see better in this thick fog than the students could... and would also hear anything they said.

If they were going to coordinate and defend themselves, they'd have to be clever about it.

Rory now knew Justice could sense emotions -- that was something to work with, although it would likely be awkward to do so. Without taking his eye off the tree Rory tried to get Justice's attention, making a subtle but repeated motion with his facing shield. He let his thoughts swirl around ideas eliciting alarm, doing his best to genuinely feel what he was trying to convey. A slight over-the-shoulder gesture with his head accompanied a rather genuine feeling of concern -- in truth he had no idea if the upperclassman would read his "message" as intended, but someone so astute in studying people would surely realize Rory was up to something, not just fidgeting nervously.

The rest would be relying on his teammates to do what they did best. If Camelia could clear enough of the fog, even just briefly, it would give them a window of opportunity to counterattack -- or at least see what they were up against. And if they could retaliate and take the enemy by surprise then Justice could potentially use that surprise to track the target, even in this blinding haze. It wasn't really a plan... but it was all they had going for them.
