Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Helfdan]

Valen cautiously approaches the horse, speaking softly in an attempt to calm it.

Aohdan took in the situation in a split second and started moving before he fully thought it through. Using his greater height and speed, he hopped over any intervening obstacles and made a beeline for the driver, with the intent of pulling him from the cart and away from the stone as the top priority.

Johen notices the horse very quickly and realizes the potential danger to the cart driver. His first reaction is to check that Highflyer is not showing signs of nervousness as well, then he frees his falcon to let him survey the surroundings.
As soon as the bird has left his shoulder, Johen hurries to the horse to try to calm him down. "Valen, take the rein when you can and pull it back..." he says to the ranger in a quiet tone.

He slows down as he gets closer to the large animal and tries to calm him down: "Oooh.. easy my boy... easy... oooh..."

(ooc: You mean Valen, not Helfdan. :\


I'm just waiting, as I know Alaric couldn't possibly do anything to help in this situation.)

[sblock=OOC] thats what i get for having a user name that sounds like a character name [/sblock]

William moves forward, noting that both the horse and driver are apparently being taken care of. Something startled that horse, though, and William is now looking around for what it could have been.

OOC: He's expecting a snake or something, but checks out anyone nearby that may look suspicious or like they're trying to hide something/their face.
Spot is only +1 unfortunately, but if there's anyone acting strangely, sense motive = +5.

Corath waits with Alaric. She looks curiously around, noticing William doing the same. Seeing nothing, she says to the wizard, "Are horses always so skittish? I seem to remember some of the horses in the city behaving this way as well." She is obviously more interested in his answer than in what is going on around her.

Waiting for Alaric to respond, Corath thinks to herself, I do not understand any of this. Perhaps it would have been better if I had stayed in the city. I have given my word to Alaric and will not go back on it. Curious. This is quite the conundrum I have found myself in. Is this what the Voice meant by choice?

 

[Arkhandus]

"Hm, not usually, no. Horses are easily spooked or riled up by some things, but I don't see any reason why this one is agitated. Hopefully the others can help that fellow, but I don't have any skill with animals nor am I particularly strong or fast.....I can't be of much use right now. I don't even have any spells or alacrity, calming, or strength ready to invoke at the moment." Alaric says with a sigh.

 

[Jemal]

Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, William turns to the centaur thoughtfully "Perhaps.. Forgive me if this sounds insulting, but maybe they're reacting to you.. Have you encountered horses before that did this, or is this a recent thing?"
