Act 1, Scene 1: "Through the Undergrowth" (Main Game Thread)

[Jenara]

(To make it clear, Katten is heading towards the cave where the Goblins are.)

[Nocturno]

(Nocturno is ready following)

[Stik]

Van will give a slight chuckle to the "Sunshine' comment.
To the rest of it, he will say, supporting Garroth, "Hear hear! We all have a common enemy, why trade barbs and mistrust among ourselves?" To his group, "We do look like a proper band of rogues when we advance on a person with weapns drawn and words withheld. Mayhaps we should be more welcoming...Good dwarf, would you recon we could have made a better show of a peaceful start?"

"Suits me.
"But what of this poor soul, with the anvil. Seems to me you are ignoring him."

[Nocturno]

Over his shoulder Nocturno will comment. " He is a Human, he will let us know he is here."

[Chris1234]

As he scampers past, Linar says to the noisy ones, "Hush! Goblins aren't deaf."
He then moves out to right flank again, intending to keep pace with Katten.

[TristenC]

The Feliz moves back to the south end of the bridge and easily re-acquires the trail, followed by the armored elf and the dark elf. The splint mail clinks and clatters as Nocturno follows the stealthily moving pair.

[Anyone else following?]

[Jenara]

"Nisser are this way. If Human coming, fine, Short one on pig might be useful. I stay ahead with Dran, when we get close someone who fights leads." Grabbing Dran she checks his wound hugging him closely.

[ausie]

Garroth turns his horns to face the cave and follows... "Boyd... right... you commin or staying?"

[Jenara]

(NB we are just on the trail heading there, not the actual cave)

[Sol Mazer]

"I'm following... Gar, right behind you."

Van will ready his staff... and think on which spell- or even just the staff- to use for a possible run in. The thought of facing an enemy has him jumpy.

[ausie]

Garroth grins at Van's anticipation.. How it must be like for Some to have such self doubt. Garroth was not concerned about mortal confrontation... For him that first happened 8 years against when his
Mother was killed and he took the lives of the 6 Orcs that did it.. He remembered the surge, the anger, but there was never any set doubt, never any fear.. If it came to combat, he would prevail or he would die.... either way left little to worry about...

"Just point me toward the bad guys Van...." Garroth chuckled... "..and don't zap me by mistake..." Hmm. Maybe there was something to worry about after all...?

[Nocturno]

Nocturno follows Katten with his long sword drawn, trying to hang back as to not remove her stealthy-ness, but keep her in sight to make sure he can intercept any goblins.

[Rivi]

elden confused by all that just happened shrugs "well... i think that was an invite" and he will turn to follow "by the way names elden...nice to meet you all?"

[Sol Mazer]

"What ho!! Greetings!" says the high elf with the staff... conveniently hiding in the minotaur's shadow. "Pressing business in the cave it seems... Sorry for the poor reception. Goblins or the like have had a sway on the day. I'm Vanidur, or Van if you like. Elder, was it? Got a profession? Big guy here is Garroth.... Katten up there has point. Lin there is an agent of Corellom- I know! A drow! I think we have a High Elf paladin as well... he hasn't said, but he seems the type. Me? Illusionist.... I.know... I know.... Gnomes. They aren't so bad. Good company. Friendly enough and really know the school. Uh... seems we are getting close to a hide out of sorts- time to button up."

Van readies his staff in the evemt there is a call for light.

[Stik]

'Why not?' Boyd mutters. 'Nobody is expecting me in town today.' Then he turns to follow the others on their goblin hunt.
