"I'll go scout", Oirhandir announced, and quickly rode a circle about the gruesome scene, taking care to maintain enough distance from the flames to keep from spooking Hiriloce. When he assured himself that no living being was near, he tethered Hiriloce upwind of the blaze, and rushed to the wagons to see if any of the victims still lived or if any of the goods could be saved. "Help me!", he called to the others as he braved the flames.Bront said:The scene if fairly grisly, with with 4 carts of clothing and cloth ablaze and 8 bodies scattered about in various states of wholeness. Aiken and Oirhandir do not spot anyone else about.

OoC: Save vs. Confusion = Fail?Bront said:Horrace rears up and refuses to get anywhere near the flame. It takes Oirhandir a minute to calm the horse down after it starts wandering away from the fire.
OOC: You failed to keep Horace under control as you got close to the fire.El Jefe said:OoC: Save vs. Confusion = Fail?
OoC: Er, so, is it safe to presume Oirhandir eventually reins him in and rides his circuit of the grounds? It wouldn't bother me if that had to be a fairly large circle (>100' radius, or even larger) to keep him from panicing. I just don't want Oirhandir to get jumped after he dismounts (baddies hanging farther back who move in once he's "cleared" the area are fine).Bront said:OOC: You failed to keep Horace under control as you got close to the fire.
OOC: at that distance, you're in the woods for much of that circle. The clearing they're in isn't that big. But I've not problem from that. The big problem is that you're not a very good riderEl Jefe said:OoC: Er, so, is it safe to presume Oirhandir eventually reins him in and rides his circuit of the grounds?
