[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1414070, member: 9990"] [U][B][SIZE=4]Session 4 Continued[/SIZE][/B][/U] The morning passes and the sun chases the dew from the new spring leaves of the forest. Eating rations on horseback, they sees signs that the horses had passed this way - white tufts of horsehair mark some of the tree branches that close in on the path. Soon they come across a nearby clearing, but something is eeriely wrong from what they could see so far. A large body of something lies along their path towards the entrance to the clearing. Cautiously approaching, Alex and Dian scan the grisly scene before them. More than a dozen horses were slain, and nearly a score of goblin bodies were interspersed with them. Most of the dead goblins had the curved markings of the Viper clan; a few others could be identified as Wolfskulls. An obese Viper goblin was hung upside-down by his feet from a large tree in the clearing. Clearly a gruesome battle had been fought here, and just recently, as the goblin blood had not had the chance to soak into the soil beneath their feet. While taking stock of the bodies, the group stirred up a pack of giant beetles that scurried to attack, evidently preferring live meat to dead! As they attacked, a lone female goblin leaped from the tree in an attempt to escape, and tried to take one of the horses with her. The beetles' carapice protected them well from many of the piercing blows, but eventually they were out-flanked and out-gunned as the party brought them down. Thovaas suffered a grievous blow that kept him down, but soon he was healed and able to question their new prisoner - the female goblin. Deciding not to push their luck, the party convinced Taras to turn back to the homestead to heal their wounds and renew their pursuit the next day. They easily guided their wounded horses slowly along the path back to the homestead before nightfall. [/QUOTE]
