C&C: A Lion in the Ropes

[mps42]

"HA! I knew a worgs heart was craven and weak! Run! Run and tell your pack-mates of the bitter defeat that has been handed to you!"
Keeping and eye out behind him, Vergart will begin going to each part member in turn and checking to see if they have been hurt.

Fatcoin sheaths his dagger and runs towards the river where the Worg jumped in. He knocks his bow and fires if he spots the creature.

James follows suit with the others, pulling his bow and running to the river. He looks downriver first, then upriver, firing at the worg if he spots it.

Norgim slows down to a brisk walk and finishes his song at the end of the verse. Once he reaches the others by the river he stops, closes his eyes and presses his fist against his lips praying a silent prayer of thanks to the creator.

Once he finishes his prayer, he looks up at his comrades with a crooked smile. Thinking to himself, Everyone seems to be alright and in one piece. Then he turns his gaze onto the landscape and scans the terrain for any possible enemies that may still be left.

"Is everyone alright?" Colm asks. After reassuring himself that such is the case, he lowers his morningstar - but does not return it to his belt - and walks slowly towards the riverbank after the others. He nods at Norgrim and mutters his agreement and thanks to the gods.

"Any sign of the fell beast?" he asks, scanning the river.

A search of the area reveals no other threats. The surface of the river is swiftly moving eastward, but no trace of the worg can be spied either. Whether it is drowned or has swam away, you cannot discern.

Johan emerges out from the back of the wagon with as much dignity as he can muster, followed by Telion. The twin halflings can be seen beneath the wagon.

"My word, gentlemen, fortunate indeed it was that you happened upon us. Those worgs looked quite..beastly." Johan bows at the party then quickly finds the halflings.

"Hawk, Houk, get the horses up we are leaving! This sort of thing never happens-and I'll not press my luck. Come let us be off."

Johan turns back to the party, an embarrased look on his face. "My gratitude is eternal to you all, and I have no wish to be an impolite host, but we head west. Better to travel at night then to become food for worgs and sport for goblins!"

Drusilla merely shrugs and places the pot of food back into the wagon as the others begin gathering up gear.

"I wonder, now that it's over... Do you think those beasts could have been what was shadowing us, before we spotted Johan and his group? Or were they perhaps after this group of entertainers, and we just happened to be here?"

 

[Kuld]

"Any sign of the fell beast?" he asks, scanning the river.

"Nay, the beast is gone. I'm doubtin' he's dead though." Norgim says as he follows colms gaze down the river.

"I wonder, now that it's over... Do you think those beasts could have been what was shadowing us, before we spotted Johan and his group? Or were they perhaps after this group of entertainers, and we just happened to be here?"

Norgim turns to regard the bear. "I'm fer thinking that our shadow was indeed the bear. But there's no tellin' me friend"
"One thing's for sure" he adds with a broad smile, "they sure don't like me kin"

Norgim then turns to Johan. "Aye friend, we're at yer service. Y'know the town's not too far up the road there." Looking over Johan's shoulder he adds, "I'd be happy to look at yer wagon before ye head out. I'm sure yer wantin' to get there with all speed and not havin' to worry about a fouled wheel"

"Kord be praised, everyone seems safe and unhurt."

"My word, gentlemen, fortunate indeed it was that you happened upon us. Those worgs looked quite..beastly." Johan bows at the party then quickly finds the halflings.

"Hawk, Houk, get the horses up we are leaving! This sort of thing never happens-and I'll not press my luck. Come let us be off."

Johan turns back to the party, an embarrased look on his face. "My gratitude is eternal to you all, and I have no wish to be an impolite host, but we head west. Better to travel at night then to become food for worgs and sport for goblins!"

"I certaily can understand your haste and agree that you should make all speed to your next stop."

Norgim then turns to Johan. "Aye friend, we're at yer service. Y'know the town's not too far up the road there." Looking over Johan's shoulder he adds, "I'd be happy to look at yer wagon before ye head out. I'm sure yer wantin' to get there with all speed and not havin' to worry about a fouled wheel"

"A fine idea norgrim. once the wagon is fixed, we should escort these fine folk to town. We want no unpleasantness to fall upon them."

'Safety in numbers," Yondo agrees, as much concerned for himself as for the travelling entertainers. "No reason why we can't sleep a bit first, though. We gave 'em quite a beating. Just set up a few defenses and post a watch or two, which you should be doing anyway."
