[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 2813878, member: 2209"] [b]Through the woods[/b] Endovior: The immediate danger having passes, Alan puts away his soulblade. With a flick of the wrist, it is gone. Although he does not comprehend what he has just heard, he does recognize the gesture, and responds accordingly, beginning to follow the two hunters. As he walks, he attempts to communicate, in the common tongue of the Flanaess. "Greetings, strangers! I am Alan Keep, an officer of the Horned Society, in service to Iuz the Evil. I seem to have been hit by some sort of teleportation effect, which has taken me from my rightful place of duty... could you tell me, where on Oerth this is?" When that fails, Alan will repeat himself in the Orcish and Gnollish tongues... before giving up and following the pair the remaining distance to the village. Watus: In a moment, Tur has felled a couple of saplings and lashed them together into a rude A-frame to which he secures the field-dressed carcass. Dragging it back to the village, so as to leave Noni's bow free, he listens to the stranger's jibber-jabber, uncomprehendingly. After some time, he pauses a moment in his toil to raise a single, upright finger to his toothy maw and blow a sibilant "shhhhh", hoping the stranger understands that by this he means for him to be silent. He gestures out into the woods, hoping to indicate that the Wildlands are not a place for frivolous conversation. Out here, bears are the least of their worries. After surveying their surroundings for a moment, he grunts in satisfaction, and resumes the long slog back to the village. He wonders if the Scholar King will understand a word of this unusual stranger's language. Endovior: Alan looks around... and ceases his attempt to communicate. Hopefully, a village or something will be encountered soon. Voadam: Noni is able to recover one arrow intact, the other one has a damaged shaft but the head is still intact. Fenris: Upon hearing his speech in gnoll Noni turns to Alan: "Alan Keep, I do not know what Oerth is. You are in Wildwood. As our friend Tur here has indicated you would do well to draw less attention to us. More hunts in this wood than bears. We will go to the village. They will help explain things for you" and Noni continues onto the dover village. Endovior: Alan responds in Gnoll. "You... don't know what Oerth is?" He remains silent for the remainder of the journey, a shocked expression on his face. Clearly, this is rather more then some minor teleportation effect. He considers the possibilities grimly as he continues on. Voadam: Knowing the blood and entrails they left behind from the field dressed bear could attract scavengers Tur and Noni press on quietly towards the village as soon as the carrying preparations can be made. The trio travels throughout the forest, Noni leading the group along game trails sufficient to accomodate the quickly made travois for the most part, though there are times when assistance is required in carrying the heavy carcass of the bear. Breaks are short as Noni and Tur do not want the blood of the kill to attract scavenging predators. Despite his wound and the daunting implications of Noni's statement, Keep feels physically invigorated. As part of him grows quiet considering the possibilities of what happened, another part feels infused with the feeling of life pulsing through his veins. It is a long trek as the village hunters regularly travel hours out in search of prey. Thankfully the trek back is mostly uninterrupted by anything more than the presence of watching and calling birds and the loud crash of squirrels bounding in bursts across dry leaves. The journey gives Keep time to think and gather his thoughts. At one point Noni spots a cross trail with the fresh tracks of a large boar that weighs more than twice as much as the bear by his estimate based on the size and depth of the markings. Endovior: Barring a good reason to do otherwise, Alan continues on to the village with the two hunters. [/QUOTE]
