Hopefully far enough away that the two hunters will not interfere with each other.       Hours pass. Animals are certainly moving southward away from the Cloakwood, and Korik sees none come back up the trail. That said he doesn't see any in panic driven flight like he did at the stream. A few deer nervously pad along the trail, sniffing the air and looking behind them as they go. Rabbits and berrygobblers hop along their runs through the undergrowth and squirrels run through the branches.       There isn't really any sign of anything that might cause these animals to be moving, but something certainly is.      A few hours before sun-down Korik sights a small humanoid on the trail. It's a stringy little goblinoid, not a goblin proper, but a tasloi - a type normally found further south, but the Cloakwood represents the furthest north they can normally be found. This one looks like a scout, wearing well-fitting armour pigemented into a mostly green camoflage pattern and carrying a small hand-crossbow with a shortsword at its belt. It too is heading southwards.</blockquote>
