Grin looks for a good spot for the party to conceal itself.

Grin spots a thicket next to a stream that has a small depression from seasonal run of that will allow all 3 of you to hide quite nicely.

Oliver proceeds to follow Grin's instructions without doubt, crossing his fingers.

OOC:

Short post, but I guess necessary

Grin points to said thicket.

We could hide here until the sun sets?

The three of you hunker down and try to be quite as you wait out the patrol. The warriors get close enough for you to get a better look at them and you determine they are hobgoblins. A couple look at your hiding spot but none of them react or move closer off the trail so you feel safe that you were not spotted.

Sighing in relief you sit back to ponder the situation when a small voice behind you startles you.

Those stupid thing keep coming around. Why are you hiding from them?

Turning you see a tiny winged figure with weapons and wearing leather garb, a Sprite. Sprites are known to be mischievous, as are most tiny fey, but are also the spies and guard of the tiny fey-kind. You spot a couple other but they flicker in and out of sight so you are unsure how many there actually are.

Gee wiz! Where did you come from?!

Gus' startled expression quickly turns to a curious one. He says, in a friendly tone:

Well hello there! My name is Gus! We're trying our best to avoid those patrols as they haven't been too friendly to us. We're not looking for trouble! If you don't mind me inquirin', what's your name?

Grinfletch maneuvers himself so that the Sprite has a direct view of his broach. He thinks, I wonder who this little one serves.

Oliver stared with curiosity at the Sprite. He just knew second-hand stories about the fey.

Innocent question, or cunning interrogation? Well, who cares. They seem to have a playful spirit, and just how foul could such a heart be.

"Indeed, it would appear their clan ambushed our transport to Paphos. Oliver Otter. It's a pleasure."

It happens. I've done that where I was working on a post and gost distracted or rewrote it as new ideas came along. Then after I submitted found I had be bypassed, by several post some times

The spokes-sprite looks your group over I am Lieutenant Bryr and I live around here. You three jumped into my scouting blind.

Looking out at where the hobgoblin patrol has disappeared into the trees Bryr grumbles upon hearing about the attack. Yeah, they've been getting all riled up about something lately. We had trouble with them when they first moved into the are but then things settled down. But like I said they increased patrols and are really being nasty lately. This keeps up and the Lord might take steps. I heard tell there might be a hunt. and he shrugs before turning to face you again.

Tell you what, you help us with a little job and we can call it even. You hopped into our facility, used its for your own ends without so much as a by your leave. You do this one thing for us and we might even owe you a bit. What do your say? As he has been talking his face morphs from one of innocence and joy to gain an ever darker and more sinister appearance to it. By the end if not for the fact he is just over 3 inches tall you might be wondering where his horns and flames are.

Grin gives the Sprite a curious look over.
And just who might your Fey lord be? He sticks out his chest a bit to give the Sprite a good look at his broach.

My lord is Corin, what's it to ya? he sneers at Grinfletch

Dec 30, 2023 12:27 am

Grinfletch can’t recall if he knows anything about Corin, but, in these cases, he judges it’s safe to trust the fey when they’re the enemies of your enemies… or so he assumes.

Corin? He must be a powerful lord indeed to command the service of such faithful soldiers. Well, friends, an adventure on the way to Paphos sounds excitin’. As long as we be well equipped for the task that is. My lord Aethereon would be none too pleased if we were sent t’our deaths.

Oliver considered Grin's take on the fey's offer. After a moment's thought, he delved into his pouch and produced his waterskin. He removed the cork, and handed it to the Sprite.

"Lieutenant Bryr, how many times can you bounce this cork without your hands?"

OOC:

This might seem weird, I know. Just note that Oliver's belief is: Be wary of those unwilling to play catch. This is not catch, but you get the idea.

Dec 30, 2023 1:39 am

OOC:

This is very good. I love your character choice.

I bet he's skeptical of this...
"What's the catch?" harharhar

Bryr

Looking over Gringletch Bryr scoffs Lord Aethereon calls you his own? as he looks you over and shrugs Well not matter. The task is quite simple. We want to send a message to those annoying hobgoblins but they have taken to carrying cold iron charms on them which makes it difficult for some fey to properly use their magic on them. You help me and my boys subdue that squad that just passed and then get rid of the cold Iron and when we send them back it will give the pause as they ponder just how safe their charms keep them.

Do that and we will even get you across the river to Paphos. What do you say?

Dec 30, 2023 4:11 am

As the Lieutenant is ignoring Oliver’s outstretched cork, Grin places a hand on Oliver’s arm and mouths the words leave it be.

OOC:

To clarify, he wants us to subdue the patrol and take their charms away?
