"My...companions? I have never seen those creatures before in my life. I last remember stopping in a glade to rest, having avoided some hostile fey and then darkness" the unicorn says.

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

ooc: Insight check to see if the unicorn is lying. 12. Well, it's really hard to read a horse's expressions.

"Wonderful," Haruka mutters through gritted teeth. "Let's wake up the satyr now. I'll bet he'll have all the answers, unless it turns out he was ensorcelled by the boar."

"My...companions? I have never seen those creatures before in my life. I last remember stopping in a glade to rest, having avoided some hostile fey and then darkness" the unicorn says.

“Far out, Horny. It may be that this satyr has held you under its control, but you can consider yourself set free. You’re among friends now...”

Rhole considers his last words once again.

“Well, at least non-hostiles…”

Rhole casts a doubtful look back at Ironheart.

“... right now.”

Rhole uses Words of Friendship​

“Hey listen, fey to fey, we’re in the same boat here so how about helping out a little? I’ve also just been freed from this satyr’s oppression and it wouldn’t have been possible without this groovy crew. They need to find the Lady of Nightmares, preferably without more trouble along the way. What do you say?”

A visible shudder is noticable amongst the equine's powerful muscles atthe mention of the Lady of Nightmares.

"That dark fey has haunted this forest for a long time, the creatures here know to give her home a wide berth lest you fall victim to her. As we are friends I must warn you away from such an action, it is a debt I owe you for freeing me from him" she replies, gesturing to the fallen satyr

Unicorn seems truthful

[sblock=Rhole]
You remember that the satyr kept a small cache of treasure and items nearby in the nook of a tree, you're sure you can remember how to get there

Haruka chuckles. It's not a particularly pleasant sound, and she certainly doesn't sound mirthful. She grins unpleasantly, "That's funny. Our original plan was to go visit Lord Arnamil first. Another fey told us that was a bad idea. Now apparently we should avoid the Lady as well. Maybe the proper course of action is to go home and forget about this whole mess." The smile abruptly fades. "We're going to the Lady. If you can help us, do so. Otherwise, stop wasting our time."

 

[renau1g]

"Very well, the Lady of Nightmares lives in an old hut, but don't be fooled by the exterior, she is powerful." the unicorn says, before discussing the directions that will take you to her accursed home.

 

[covaithe]

"Thank you. And, though you do not remember it, you fought nobly and well. You were a worthy adversary," Ikni adds.

 

[JoeNotCharles]

"That's funny. Our original plan was to go visit Lord Arnamil first. Another fey told us that was a bad idea. Now apparently we should avoid the Lady as well. Maybe the proper course of action is to go home and forget about this whole mess."

Ironheart rumbles. "Yes. You should do that. This forest is not safe. Lord Arnamil, the Lady of Nightmares - all are powerful. All are dangerous. But if you persist, I will protect you. You... are my grove."

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Haruka rounds on Ironheart. "Oh, I have no doubt Arnamil is capable of murdering harmless travelers who have the misfortune of getting lost in his territory. And everyone we meet in this forsaken forest warns us about the Lady, although of the two of them she's the one who hasn't tried to kill us. But none of that matters. We've gone too far and lost too much to turn back now. I'm seeing this through to the end. And that means," she smiles, "you are too."

 

[Dunamin]

“There's one mondo important thing to do before we go. You see, I was never paid in full for playing at the gig, though I did get a good look at where the goodies are stashed.”

“Rock, watch Piggy and Sir Goatface.”

The little gargoyles salutes with vigilance, turns invisible, and takes up position on a branch where it can get a good view.

Meanwhile, Rhole leads the party to the satyr’s treasure tree, carefully peeking down the nook to see what it contains.
