[Game Thread] The 4th of Neth

Settling Night As the night crept about the group and dinner was served and eaten and brandy was refused or tasted, and in general the camp seemed ready to settle down for the evening, the sounds of the forest seemed to grow louder. Setting up watches would probably prove to be a particularly good idea, with the sounds of hungry predators and the lingering smell of hot stew on the air that was likely to draw attention.

Lifting the brandy to his mouth, Jasper pauses for a second...


"Wolves!" he cries out. Dropping the brandy he quickly grabs his bow and fires off a shot into the darkness as puts his back to the fire.

Annea Jumping and simultaneously drawing her two short swords, Annea spins around from setting up the borrowed tent at the yell. Squinting her eyes at the darkness that now surrounds them, she tries Dice perception: d20+6 (10)+6 Total = 16 to find the attackers that spooked her companion, her knees bent so she crouches low, ready to spring forward.

A Dead Shot As Jasper moves the wolf let out a low howl, a howl that was just as quick cut off as the arrow lodged itself deep it's shoulder, turning the howl into a pained whimper. Alone and clearly outnumbered the wolf snarls at them and turns hard back into the brambles. But Annea is quickly able to re-locate the moving shape amongst the brambles and point it out to the rest of the group. OOC If you would like to pursue the wolf then everyone save Jasper may roll initiative. Melee pursuit into the brambles will be moving into difficult terrain, alternatively you can move at normal speed through the brambles but take 1 point of nonlethal damage every round of pursuit. Or you can just leave the wolf be, whatever you all decide to do!

Annea "There!" Annea cried out, pointing towards the position she saw the wolf at, At the same time Jaspers arrow hit the beast and it howled in agony and turned around. Her first instinct was to follow the animal into the night, but she stayed where she was. No use killing an animal that had already understood it could not find pray here. Either it would die from the arrow wound somewhere out there or it would certainly not return but find easier pray elsewhere. As no further rustling came from the underbrush, Annea relaxed visibly, looking down at her bare feet and half-naked legs. Looking around at Jasper and finding him still staring into the darkness, she quickly returned to her tent with a slight blush on her face. Turning around once she was hidden behind its flap, she called out to him. "It won't come back. Relax."

OOC Annea opts for not following. There is really nothing to be gained from doing so in her opinion. The others could try to persuade her and she will probably listen to reasons (or not staying back alone in the camp^^).

Jasper's silver eyes glint in the firelight.

"About the only power I really did inherit." he says pointing at his exotic eyes.

"I'm blessed with excellent night sight. I agree, lets stay here. "

He grabs the bottle from the ground before all the brandy leaks out and has a quick mouthful as the shakes set in. "I don't think that was an illusion. Maybe I will stand a watch afterall."

Fool. Lucien thought as he watched the events unfold. Was it really going to be like this? Was Jasper going to be that jumpy all night? Sure there really was a wolf, but the Inquisitor highly doubted it would pose much of a threat on its own. Not that it mattered now. The young rogue had effectively frightened the animal off. Probably sending it to its doom given the amount of blood it was likely to lose from the wound. With a quiet sigh Lucien sat down near the fire placing his sword across his lap.

"If standing watch helps you, then feel free to take whatever watch you wish," the Inquisitor stated bluntly. His eyes catching a glint of light in the other man's eyes, "I've been meaning to ask you. Why are your eyes so oddly colored?"

"I'll take this one then, thanks" says the young nobleman. He sits down, back to the fire, alternating between looking at the brandy bottle and out into the darkness.

"My eyes? A gift from grandfather. He always said his power was due to having dragon blood. I never really believed him, but when my eyes turned... well. Then I started to beleive. "

He grins.

"It's kind of handy really."
