Shaimon Hu'u, druidic human ranger
Shai pauses a moment, caught between the uncharacteristic reversal that has Talashia making emotional decisions and Uulark using cold logic. He seems dumbfounded, which as usual leads to his looking to Dyspeer. The wolf cocks his head to one side, then sneezes. Whether this was an answer or not, it seems to help the big woodsman make his decision. He sets his jaw and nods.
"Whether he were a grown up or not, Caerwyn left his sister behind," Shai says. "I already watched that poor girl back in Ironfell lose her daddy without her getting to say goodbye 'cause I went off and got distracted by heroing and such. I ain't gonna let someone else lose family for the same reason. Me'n Dys are gonna see if we can't sniff out Caerwyn. If he went in the woods, might be he ran across whatever's taking folk from town, anyway."
[sblock=ooc]I realize IG wrote Caerwyn out because he's now player-less, but makes sense we'd at least try to track him down. Or, Talashia would, and as above, seeing a party member so upset wouldn't be the kind of thing Shai would be able to let go if he had the ability to help. Seems just as viable a path to Finding Trouble as any other, at least.
I'm not entirely sure how tracking works for animals in 4e. Looks like it's connected to Perception, but I can't tell if wolves have any kind of bonus on it like they did in 3.5. In either case, Shai and Dys are trained in Perception, so they should be mildly decent at it.[/sblock]
