[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 288631, member: 2012"] [b]Journey South (cont.)[/b] [I][B]The forest clearing at dawn:[/B][/I] [I]“Well, this is quite a pickle.”[/I] Bactra though to himself After Dabuk had dealt with the ogres during the night he had become even more distant. He’d refused to let anyone else take watch pacing back and forth at the edge of the camp. Bactra had pretended to meditate in order to keep an eye on him. His cousin could go for days without sleep after encountering ogres. Soon his pacing had become tiring to watch. Bactra forced himself back into the Reverie. The next thing he knew it was dawn and the group was surrounded by little furry humanoids with spears. Bactra’s hands had been bound together and an awful tasting piece of leather shoved deep into his mouth. The little humanoids were chattering to themselves excitedly. Dvalin was hog-tied like a pig. His arms were tied to his feet behind his back his face in the dirt. He and everyone else were gagged. The burly dwarf struggled in vain to get free trying to growl at the little creatures through his gag. Dabuk was tied back to back with Jeddar. He looked more embarrassed then angry. Obviously, he had fallen asleep on duty, which wasn't like him at all. Mesik had been tied to the large stone the group had hidden behind when the ogres passed through the camp during the night. He looked mad. It was strange occurrence. Both Dabuk and Mesik have always been light sleepers. Even if Dabuk had exhausted himself, Mesik would have been alerted to any ambush. Bactra seemed to be the only one who wasn't tied in a way to restrict his movement. He sat up looking at the humanoids more closely. They were definitely some sort of fey. Their language almost sounded like some sort of sylvan dialect. They had large bushy tails and looked like squirrels. Strange, he'd never heard of any fey creature like them during his studies in Woodknot. He'd have to tell the Clan Elders about them, if he lived long enough to get home that is. The creatures had been chatting amongst themselves this whole time not noticing that Bactra had sat up. [I]“Well, how rude.”[/I] Bactra mused internally. He cleared his throat noisily, which caused the gag to pop out of his mouth. One of them turned, mouth agape “Greetings little ones, my name is Bactra Redwind. And these are my friends. We were just passing through your wonderful forest, stopping for the night. I assure you we don't mean any harm.” Now they were all staring. Several of the larger ones’ noses were twitching almost instinctively. They all looked like they were in shock. “Hello.” One of the little ones was soon bouncing up and down in front of Bactra. “You a elf?” “Pakwa, don't speak at it.” One of the larger ones pulled the little one back away from me. “But it friendly. It elf.” “Hello little one. Yes, I am an elf. What are you?” “Pakwa.” “No, um, what is you?” Bactra tried hard to form his Sylvan words correctly so they could understand. “Phan-“ The little humanoid was pulled further away by its elders. “Don't speak at it. Evil spirit.” The others started laughing and snorting through their gags. Dvalin was turning red with mirth. “I most certainly am not!” Bactra felt very embarrassed. Obviously, these little creatures were a little more primitive than your average fey. The large one that had pulled away little Pakwa put the gag back into Bactra’s mouth tying a leather strap around the back of his head like they had dome with the others. The leader had several of the larger creatures push Bactra down on his back. They poked him several times with their spears ordering the elven wizard to stay down. “Evil spirit. How humiliating” Bactra’s face was red, as he mumbled the words through his gag. * * * [/QUOTE]
