[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 2063516, member: 11574"] [b]Elfys don't climb good[/b] During the night, Nameroc is awakened by the wind calling his name through the trees. Recognizing it as a sign from the earth itself, Nameroc follows the sound, which to the untrained ears sounds akin to rustling leaves. To the elven ears of Nameroc the song of the wind is loud and clear. The walk proves to be a short one, only a half mile from camp Nameroc is greeted by the large form of a black bear. Sitting on it's haunches, the bear inhales the scent of the elf and measures the worth of the elf based upon that scent. Nameroc approaches cautiously but confidently, knowing that his prayers to nature have been answered, Nameroc doesn't wish to lose this opportunity. Morning came cold and gray for the party, they had all gotten an early start thanks to Finrod's ramblings. He began mumbling in the middle of the night and woke up Paquito who couldn't return to sleep. Initially Paquito tried to ignore the moaning elf, however the more he tried not to listen the more Finrod's words pulsate across his brain. Paquito hoped the elf would awaken one of the giants and they would smack the elf into tomorrow, however the longer he waited the more he realized that wasn't going to happen. Yawning from his spot of interrupted slumber, Paquito rose and walked to the fire. Looking over at the sleeping giants, Paquito made a mental note to have Gronar teach him the finer points of selective deafness while sleeping. Over and over Paquito heard Finrod retell his vision of the mountain in the mists, Paquito even memorizes Finrod's rants in three different languages. Paquito's trip through his personal hell is interrupted by the returning Nameroc and a following black bear. "Ah! What the.... Look out! Attack!" Paquito shouts, startling the giants from their dreams. Nameroc takes up a defensive position next to the bear. "What are you doing? Get away from the bear, you wish to become dinner. No?" Paquito yells at Nameroc. "Death to the ursine!" Gronar shouts as he leaps from his prone position and grabs his long spear. "No! This is my new companion, the nature goddess has seen fit to replace my wolf with this fine bear." Nameroc protests, stroking the bear's back. Suspicious, Gronar eyes the elf and bear. "Gronar remember big doggie elfy had, what elf do with doggie?" "It died. This is it's replacement." The elf answers. "That neat trick, maybe you show Pokey how to do that? All Pokey have is little rock." Korg interjects into the conversation. "Chip is a fine specimen of loyalty and power. No?" Paquito answers "Yeah, if you like spelunking." Nameroc replies As the sun warms the air from bleak to frigid the groups wakes Finrod in hopes to gain a better understanding of what is going on in his head. Finrod retells as much of the vision he can, insisting the message seems urgent and he intends to carryout the wishes of the messenger. "Gronar have nothing better to do, Gronar go with elfy." Gronar says "Well, that's all I needed. No?" Paquito says. Soon Korg and Nameroc follow and the group heads off to the north. Walking all day brings the group alongside of a bluff, a path into the bluff is visible fifty feet from their current location. Thinking this may be a great place to rest for the night, Gronar asks Finrod to check out the top of the bluff only twenty-five feet above them. Finrod begins to climb the dirt wall, but has some footing difficulty and only makes it ten feet off of the ground. Tired of waiting for Finrod to fall to the ground, Gronar plucks the elf off the side of the bluff and tosses him up onto the top of the bluff.
