[QUOTE="TwoHeadsBarking, post: 4924729, member: 82251"] [sblock=ooc]Thanks JNC. And not a moment too soon...[/sblock] The day passes. Yelder is not a great conversationalist, although you get the feeling he's not being intentionally rude; he's just not used to people. The sun is starting to set when Yelder stops suddenly and points ahead.[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] You follow his gesture and see a number of figures lurking in an upcoming fork in the road.

Their gait is lurching and uneven, and there are random patches on their bodies where the hair has come out in clumps.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [sblock=Religion 15 or Nature 15]While these creatures look undead, there are enough signs of life that you would have to conclude that they are, unfortunately, still alive.[/sblock] The goblin sees you at the same time you see him, and he raises his axe towards you and screeches. At once the hounds bound into your group, moving disturbingly fast for creatures so ragged. One of them drags Yelder to the ground, while two others bite at Lephisto.
