Penthar Danadin, Aglarondan Griffonrider
Penthar brings Regalclaw up to the bridge, and, with an heir of authority that belies his position as a velskoon in the Aglarondan Army, calls out the boy. "Ho, what manner of tomfoolery is this? Don't you know better than to dangle one of your playmates over a bridge? If you promise not to dangle any more kids over bridges, I'll let my friend get you out of his web."

OOC - Sorry to say, but I'll probably do that a lot. I play a wizard named Moe in another game of this type. It's hell being old.

The boy whimpers in fear and slowly nods his head. He tries to glance behind him, to the other side of the bridge, but experiences some difficulty since his hair is caught badly in Nick's web. The other boy's voice can be heard still shouting, though it is far more muffled now, as though his mouth were covered by something rather than just being on the underside of a bridge.

Penthar turns to Nick. "What do you think, Nick? Sounds like the lad has learned his lesson, eh? But before you drop the web, let me take a closer look, to make sure that the endangered bot will not drop once the web disappears." He dismounts from Regalclaw, and begins to wall closer to the children, assessing the situation.
OOC: Rae, can I get a bit better description of the situation? I am assuming that there is one cild on the bridge, currently holding the other kid by one ankle over the bridge. They are both wrapped in the web. Do I see the other kid that ran away? Can I get a good feel for the distance between the kid and the gooey river? Is it possible for Penthar to reach in and grab the kid's nkle himself before the web drops, so the kid doesn't drop?

OOC: Yes, Harvey has it right. One boy leaning far over the edge of the bridge holding another boy by one ankle. The dangling boy is only just above the river, perhaps three feet. If he takes a preemptive action, Penthar should be able to grab the dangling boy (and get caught in the web himself) but if the web dissolves and the first boy lets go, the dangling boy will almost definitely fall too fast for anyone to grab him.

Zithran wades through the sticky substance and grabs the dangling boy's leg. With some effort, he manages to pull the boy up, out of the web, and onto the rail of the bridge. The other boy's hand is still stuck to the ankle and both children are trembling in fear.
