[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7473677, member: 6799460"] [b]Woods & Foxes[/b] Close on the hound's tail, Dain is something to behold as he zips and weaves after the old mongrel, legs ablur with light steps and arms pumping his form between branches and the trunks of tall trees. Somewhere behind Metea, Carthum sighs. [COLOR=#0000CD][I]Suru protect us, I fear our Ranger has gone half-mad, or half-canine.[/I][/COLOR] He calls out to Metea then, [COLOR=#0000CD]"wait up!"[/COLOR] Her brother is desperately worried that whatever has lured the dog and Dain away from camp, could be a trap large enough for three... or even four? After all they had been through in the mines and beyond. With Kalair's future quite possibly in their hands... well the priest's pack actually. What a tragedy it would be to become separated in these woods and picked off whilst scattered. Carthum's thoughts may be flashing with images of bandits and woodland traps, but Metea might think otherwise. Her eyes serve her well, spotting an oddly familiar branch of wood far ahead. It waves into view for just a moment, an arm? Surely that length of wood moved much like a limb, a knot as its elbow joint, and five short twigs sprouting from one end as though fingers on a misshapen hand. Then it is gone from view. Magaw turns upon his mount, finding Metea's facial expression quite perplexing.[COLOR=#006400] "What my dear, seen a ghost?"[/COLOR] Dain's boots skid against undergrowth and before him lies something of an unusual scene! Masto halts in front of him, cocking his mangy head sideways, a little bewildered too. A tall humanoid form covered in bark and small sections of greenery (naturally placed well... to conceal intimates), stands upon stumpy feet with arms outstretched. The woodland being's head is thick as an aged oak's stump, and within it holes like small hollows form a pair of asymmetrical eye sockets, and a ragged zig-zagged jaw.

[COLOR=#006400][COLOR=#B22222]"Gravurig!"[/COLOR][/COLOR] With the other arm, the creature points to Masto angrily. [COLOR=#B22222][B]"Gravurig!"[/B][/COLOR], it growls. Metea and Carthum probably heard that... <Dain and Metea can make a check of their choosing to see if they know anything about this creature. I'm assuming Dain's speak with animals spell has worn off by now for dog communications. The being's language is unknown to you. Those back at camp who wish to do so, may make a perception check to hear a distant growl in an unknown tongue, DC18. Creature strength check to hold fox = 16. Fox opposed check = 4.
