It is a bright and sunny day outside the Friendly Arms Inn, with the regulars all outside conversing as you would expect. The hungover drunks in the gutters with the pigs. You are walking by minding your own buisness when you notice two scared dwarfs dart past you heading towards the lions way.

You think nothing of this, assuming they were in a rush, or simply missed their drinking time at the tavern -- whatever the reason you continue on with your buisness. You begin to feel as if something or someone is watching you; looking into the woodland around the Friendly Arms you notice what appears to be a white dart moving through the shadows of the woodland; something is going on in there.

*Clint out for is usual patrol takes a look to the flashing dart and rubs his eyes thinking to himself "what in the name?" as he goes over to look where he thought he saw something*

[paw]

Herran and Freya spy the dart, then glance towards each other. With a quick nod they cast magics enhancing their perceptions and protecting themselves from harm. They then move slowly, cautiously in the direction of the origin of the dart. Shields at the ready. Weapons as of yet not drawn.

Orc? Orc hunter? pixie? Until they are sure what or who .. they do not wish to threaten .... only defend. More curious then anything else.

[Miyuki]

It night be always better to know what is watching before deciding to use voilence. Especially Freya would always try to keep Herran or others they meet from attacking to soon. Not before they are attacked themselves or threatened.

So they would carefully move and keep their senses open to what mayexpect them here.

A young trader sits near the Friendly Arms Inn, it had been a quiet day so he decided to pack his things and leave it at that. Almost done packing he saw a movement in the woods followed by a few that must had seen it as well.
Hastily he stuffed the rest of his belongings into his backpack and followed the other bystanders into the outer parts of the forest with its fresh slightly cooler air compared to the dusty road air he'd been breathing in all day. Erik smiled, the woods had long been a second home to him and entering them still made him feel just that, at home.

[DM Lobo]

Peering into the woodland the strange dart begins to take shape, a beautiful white unicorn -- two Hins appear to be talking to it. You notice the trees also appear to be aware of you as you look over at the Unicorn, which has yet to see you.

Eventually the two Hins dart off in the direction the drawfs ran off to with such speed they appear to meld into the woodland before you can even blink.

For Erik

You notice the two Hins make a mild dash for the lions way, they appeared to be in a hurry.

The Unicorn eventually looks up at Clint who is standing on the road, the Unicorn takes its time studying his every action waiting patiently. it does not move from his spot. As Clint is distracted by the Unicorn two other characters approch Clint: Herran and Freya -- who catch the Unicorns gaze as well. As you all notice each other, Erik can be seen in the near distance watching the outline of the unicorn.



For Erik

After seeing the Hins dart by, you begin to see the outline of the Unicorn, Clint, Herran and Freya all appear to be staring back at it.

[paw]

Herran smiles wide as he sees the unicorn notice them. Herran stomps his right foot twice and dragging it back he bows low then he soothingly speaks in animal. A voice as calm and melodic as the bard can muster even though his heart is beating what seems a thousand times a minute in his shock and surprise. by the loving goddesses ... it is truly a pleasure, nay an -honor- to be graced with your presence. My love Freya he looks to and motions to her, stepping back slightly so as to present her and not himself. has been blessed by one of your kin once before, in Silverymoon. Her eyes will forever be blessed by her goddess, Lurue, for such grace. Her heart still overflows with the love of that day.

He goes quiet now, allowing Freya to continue. This, he feels, is her honor, not his own. Anything she would do he watches silently now, staying to her side and slightly back.

[Miyuki]

Freya, aware of the Hin talking to the Unicorn, lets Herran talk as he again....can't wait to speak. She smiles, can't stop smiling as she takes a closer look. She tries to see if the Unicorn might be male or female, which she only does by a look at its face, as the tellings known to her say that male unicorns have a "beard".

It seems she tries to sense things that are less obvious, then she comtinues to speak with deep respect. In case the unicon might not understand the common tongue, she would use Sylvan. For human standards she speaks this language very well due to her fey ancestors:" Well, my name was told already. I was chosen by the Queen of Unicorns once."
She looks at the unicorn, then around in the place. "As far as i know, you and those alike watch over the woodlands and protect the forests from those who harm them. I would suspect you are not here without a reason, are you?"

[DM Lobo]

You both approch the Unicorn who seems fine with your presence. Herran speaks first and the Unicorn respectfully listens , he seems impressed you are speaking Sylvan. "I can see you both mean no harm" The Unicorn speaks glancing to Freya as Herran mentions her "Yes I have heard of your friend" he adds before glancing at the others in the back. "That is right, Freya" the unicorn says as she begins to speak "The woodlands are no longer safe for you - they are angry and hold your kind responsible for the damage that is being done to our lands"

You notice it begin to get darker suddenly, looking up you notice the trees appear to have moved gathering around you in a cluster they creek and scratch as if speaking to each other. The Unicorn then stands infront of you both and begins speaking to the trees in Sylvan "These two do not seek to harm the woodland" he tells them. You sense a great deal of anger from the trees, and as if the eyes of 10,000 people were all suddenly on you howver the Unicorns calming nature seems to keep the peace, though you can't help but feel very very unwelcome here.



The Unicorn then turns back to you both "Follow me" he tells you before heading off into the woods.

[paw]

With a quick cast of Comprehend language and tongues, he fully understands what Freya and the unicorn say.

Herran looks up as it begins to get unnaturally dark and at first turns with worry at the creaking of the trees.

He calms as the unicorn steps before them and speaks on their behalf. As he hears the words "follow me" he does not hesitate, but looks to Freya with a smile at the opportunity. I know without question you will follow your goddesses lead ... I shall follow you.

He takes her hand and allows her to set the pace as they follow, allowing Freya to make any reply to the unicorn itself.

[Miyuki]

Freya would nod to herran, agreeing he reads her right. She would be curious and also concerned by the behaviour of the woodland creatures, animals and trees. Her look seems to ask a thousand questions for a moment.

If she can see the druid as she calls herself, she would simply nod, even if there is not much time to talk. So it seems she thinks it's possible, a druid could be of help.

"Show us...tell us what happend, please.", she would ask the unicorn softly and then follow with Herran.

//Just giving you guys a heads up so you know where you stand with this, I will be replying every Sunday to this so you all know when I will get back to you -- also I would like to give out custom 'non epic' gear (and possibly exp) to those who stay through / longtimers -- but also want to give small exp and item rewards to those who really get involved / think outside the box or put in great RP. I am also not allowed to go over 7 players on this forum, so those who wish to take part later on, please bare that in mind.

[Uther3867]

\\sorry for the late reply

Clint looks in Awe and Wonder this being the first Unicorn he has seen in his life,

Clint looks at Herran and Freya not sure what exactly they are talking about, but decides to follow the two and the unicorn almost with a guarding look in his eyes, still confused at what there talking in a foreign tongue

[K'yon Oblodra]

//Also sorry for the late reply I didn't realize we had moved on

Erik decides to follow the group in a bit of a distance, trying to stay as much in the middle of the trail the group leaves behind, to avoid the growing anger of the wild live surrounding this very trail.

[DM Lobo]

The Unicorn continues to talk through the forest, its presence seems to calm the intense anger of the creatures watching you from the shadows -- though it is clear you are not welcome here. A hooded woman (OutsideVoice) can be seen approching the Unicorn from the side, it regards the cloaked woman for a moment before moving on. Herran and Freya are not far behind, and further behind them is Clint looking pretty star struck about the whole affair.



After travelling for a good 30 mins, the Unicorn reassures you all that he will keep you safe looking over to a figure in the far end of the group which is following you from afar (Erik). Eventually you are taken to what appears to be a barron wasteland scattered with the remains tress, broken axes and dead animals.



The Unicorn steps aside allowing you to view the damage that has been done to the woodland remaining calm and patient, though with a degree of worry and concern which can be seen in the unicorns eyes.
