[SBLOCK=OOC]You have seen 2 worgs with riders with what seems there boss. You've heard some sounds in the forest, but you cannot know if they were riders or simply goblins, but there was more than one.[/SBLOCK]
 

[sblock=OOC]I still haven't gotten around to reading about the Spirit Shaman but... I guess I'll recommend something like Animal Trance or Entangle[/sblock]
Before going to bed, Xavier recommends to Snow to have some spells that will distract animals, or slow a large group of creatures down, just in case.

"Yes, I slept well, thank you. And thank you for talking to the innkeeper. I thought Snow wakes up early, usually. I hope he's okay."
 

"Him, he is always the first awake, but he spend some times to meditate and speak with his spirits. If I hadn't seen what is able to do, I would think he is mad, but if you are alive today, it is because of his spirits." replies Jade, not too concern for Snow of being late. Ten minutes after, the Innkeeper bring the breakfast and at the same time, Snow come to the common room.

As the shaman sits down, he takes some herbs that he puts in the hot water Jade had asked for him. "Your idea was good, but the spirits have limited power over these wolf. From what I have seen yesterday, the goblin's wolf was possessed by some evil spirits, and these spirits would ward the wolves from most magic that would act on there mind. But I have some that will act on there body."

The Innkeeper comes back. "Everything is all right?" he asks, looking at the half-eaten plates. "Do you still plan to visit the goblins? If you've changed your mind, I would understand and I wouldn't blame you."
 

"The plan," Xavier looks at the Innkeeper, "Is to go after the goblins. More than just a visit. Hopefully, things will go according to plan." He looks back down at his half-eaten plate. "Though, we do not have a lot of information to go on."
 

"I've not met them personally, but I hear a lot about them here. They always show in small group... 5 maximum, and always a few riders among them. Just teh sight of there wolf generally make sure the cooperation of there victims. The few who has resisted have been killed. That was the acse of teh two first victims, but lately, a few more have been killed, and they were people who would never go against goblins. Too coward or sensefull pesons.

And they always been see to teh east of the village. Nobody know where they hides, but teh far farm on the east side of our community have been deserted after two farmer have been killed without reason. You might want to look that way first.

I have something to do, but if you have other questions, I'll be back later, but that's pretty much all I knwo about these goblins."
tells the Innkeeper. You start to smell something that is burning. "My potatoes!" exclamate the Innkeeper as he enters the kitchen.

Snow turns back his attention on you and Jade. "That would explain why the farm on our way seems so quiet. Group of five, but there was some hidden when we met them, I don't think they show all at once, so we should stay vigilent."
 

"Thank you!" Xavier interjects, as the innkeeper runs to the back.

"Well, it would seem like we were right by the hideout of the goblins. Now that we know where it is, we should try to approach them by the back of the house." Once the food is eaten, Xavier gets up and gets ready to go, "We should go as soon as possible."
 

The three companions finish there meals before taking there horses and going back on there track. They continue for some time before ending at the place where they had met the goblin. The road has been quiet, and the innkeepers words seemed to have been right. The farms looked like empty.

The shaman put his feet on the ground and starts to looks around. "They seemed to come from the south." tells Snow, as he stares at the small forest that stand to your right, on the southern part of the road. Snow walks back to his horse and take the bridle. "You should walk beside your horse, it will be easier for you while we walks through the forest." Snow leads the group through teh forest. Snow seems at ease and seemes to follow the track left by teh group the day before. After a while Snow stops and make sign to stay calm. Everyone stay silent and after a moment, Snow point a direction. At first Xavier doesn,t see anything, but after two minutes, he spots what looks like a stone building covered by moss and in front of it, there is a goblin. From that distance, Xavier can't tells what the buidling is, or what the goblin is doing.
 

Xavier talks just above a whisper, "Well, I suppose we should then leave our horses here, safe, and venture closer so we can see what they're doing up there." He looks for a good tree to tie the horses to, and lets Snow lead the way in sneaking closer.
 

The group walks slowly toward the building. After covering half the distance, Snow make a move to hold and he lay down a bit, Xavier and Jade immitating him. They all stop at 50 feet from the buidling and have a better look. The buidling seems to be an old chapel. The decoration make them thinks it might be an old chapel to Talia.

The goblin doesn't seems to be a watch, or at least, he isn't doing hsi work properly as he seems more concentrated to start a fire. At that moment, a second Goblin comes around teh chapel and stop next to the first goblin. Both seems to talk, but Xavier or his companions cannot hear what they are telling.

[SBLOCk=OOC]Look at the RG to learn what Xavier know about Talia. By the way, as long as you,ll post, i'll reply. I have many thing in head, enough for 4 chapters. The 1st one being teh shotest. Only thing, I won't be able to post as much as I did, but I should be able to post every few days (2 to 3 times a week), which should be enough if we continue at teh speed of last month :p [/SBLOCK]
