The Bold Adventures of Poins--In the Woods!

[Brain]

Hemaor nods. "My thanks, friend. Let's go that way then."

He rides his wolf in the pointed direction, not too fast that the others can't keep up.

 

[jkason]

"We can go this way", Devon points in the direction of the deep woods. "They'll never catch us in that direction." He says hoping that Graf knows the Nightshade's home is in the other direction.

Liev takes half a second to consider. He's still not sure about the half-goblin, but he figures he's probably better off playing nice with the man who talks to plants--especially when he's in the middle of the woods.

"Sounds good to me, plant man," Liev says, taking the path his fellow human indicates. I swear, though, he thinks as he retreats, if this gets me tied up on the altar of some woodland god, I am moving to the city forever.

 

[Rhialto]

Hemaor brings his wolf to a halt. From a mounted position, he calls down, "We're headed away from here, and you should do the same. The goblin leaders are both powerful and vile-hearted."

OOC: Forgot to mention--your wolf is still a little too weak to carry you right now. (Also, riding wolves use the stats for riding dogs, so the strength you put down is a bit low. Raise it to 15.)

 

[Rhialto]

As the four adventurers (plus wolf) charge down the path, a rope is lowered from a tree branch. "Pssst! Up here!" says a voice.

 

[Brain]

Hemaor skids to a stop and looks up in the tree to determine the source of the voice.

As the four adventurers (plus wolf) charge down the path, a rope is lowered from a tree branch. "Pssst! Up here!" says a voice.

Liev stops, as well, looking up into the trees, stowing his shortspear for a possible climb, knowing he can always throw a few nasty tricks out if need be.

"This place is getting positively crowded with do-gooders," Liev mutters as he tries to get a decent look at the latest one.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Devon looks up.

ooc: does he know this person?

 

[Rhialto]

Argent finds himself looking at the green face, pointed ears, and yellow eyes of a Wood Goblin. Though he's never met him personally, the ruby earrings in the right ear, and emerald ones in the left identify him as Loas Willowbark, a war leader and speaker of the local tribe.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Devon

"Thank you lord Willowbark, We appriciate the save." Devon says and begins to climb.

 

[jkason]

Liev

"Yup," Liev says, grinning wide, "Wood Goblins are definitely on my 'favorite folks' list." That his new human running partner seems to know the gob works to allay some of Liev's initial mistrust. Once the man who commands plants has gotten up the rope far enough, Liev jumps for the rope and starts climbing, as well.

It's not until he's started his ascent that he thinks to ask to the crowd "Um ... can wolves climb trees?"
