Raven as you speak softly and offer freedom, all the wolves stop growling, but only the Grey speaks to you in return. "You will set us free?" White and Brown stalk to the sides and back looking agitated and impatient. "Loose the neck… we run free.

Everyone else hears huffs, growls, and whines from the brown wolf, you also see shifts in its posture. You see the pacing and agitation of the other two. You understand only Ravens side of the conversation.

Whatever Raven is doing appears to be working, so Tatiana remains still and quiet.

Any attempt at stealth currently shot to the plane of Nessus and back, Alex followed the group into the wolven den, restoring his weaponry to their proper locations.

With a last growl, "Agreed, I will loose the neck... you run free... no fight with our packs..."

Raven straightens up from his crouch and looks over his shoulder, speaking normally. "They agree to leave if we release them. Move away from the entrance so they can leave."

He looks specifically at Decklan, "Be ready if break their word."

Raven places his staff on the ground and slowly approaches the wolf who spoke to him, shifting back into wolf, "Try to release you now..."

Raven will see if he can remove the collar, if not, at least remove the chain which holds them.

OOC:

Changed colors to blue for talking to the wolves and black for the group.

Tatiana steps to the side, pressing her back to the cavern wall as she gestures for Ammos to do the same. The city-living noblewoman no longer considers Raven's understanding of animals to be strange. After all, her brother is a dragon and she can sling magic. Additionally, the scarred man sleeps fine without a bed, and the jester is a master at subverting self-declared expectations.

Feeling Tatiana's eyes burning into him like veritable streams of lava, Alex sheepishly hugs the wall as she passes. For a change, the snooty one has the right to be upset, albeit she needs to be taken down a peg or two……hundred. Why couldn't we have snouty without snooty? he thought to himself with a sigh. Stowing the bow so as not to be overtly hostile to the wolves, Alex keeps his hands near his rapier and dagger. Given his…mishap…outside the room, he would need to use positioning and footwork instead of stealth to take full advantage of his training of just where to strike for maximum effect.

Decklan moves to the side and stands silently, keeping one eye on the wolves and another alert for the cagey little bastards who call the caves home.

It's not hard to undo the chains at their necks, and as Raven released them the wolves race out and are gone from sight.

"You've gotten rid of them," Tatiana whispers to Raven, calling back to her earlier statement. "Well done."

She stands ready to proceed further into the goblin cave.

Decklan gives Raven a nod and then moves out in front again, putting some distance between himself and those with light as he moves further in.

The young man nodded, "Thank you. They deserved a chance to be free."

Raven picked up his staff from the floor and glanced around the room now that there was some light to see if there was anything of importance besides a kennel for the wolves.

Seeing Decklan start to move on, Raven follows, although in the light with Tatiana and Ammos instead of out front with Decklan.

OOC:

Does this passage continue past the kennel area or do we need to back track now?

The kennel has no other walkways out of it, but the fissure that the wolves were straining toward has a pile of trash beneath it. It's a narrow opening in the east wall that leads to a natural chimney that climbs up into darkness. Or does it, Raven when you look up you swear you see flickering at the top. The rubbish at the base of the fissure has been discarded through the opening above.

Ammos lingers behind Tatiana and observes Raven curiously for a moment.
Speaking quietly, he speaks to Raven "You do not have the look of a Spellcaster, yet your ability to commune with beasts implies you are every bit as magically talented as my sister and I... I wonder if you are no farmer as you told us before, this may not be the time, but I believe we might discuss who you are exactly at a later time?"

I'm not going to use the official images as backgrounds as that would almost certainly spoil things for me 😁. So to the best of my ability, this is what we know as of now. Assuming Tatiana's light cantrip is still active and using secret door icon for fissure. Also, this time, I'm using GP's expanded OTFBM code so it's a bit clearer what codes do what in case someone else wants to do this 😉.

If I messed up on the location of any characters or sizing, please let me know.

Doh! Yes. Thank you. Updated and resized a bit to allow Decklan to be out of the bright light while having Tatiana move forward and Ammos speak to Raven.

Before leaving the shaft, Raven prods the garbage briefly with his staff to see what kinds of things have been tossed down to the kennel.

*********

When Ammos spoke to Raven, the young man looked at him for a long moment, considering his response perhaps, then finally just shrugs "I've always been able to speak with animals, even as a kid, before I could even talk to people. Most folks thought I was playing a game... even now they think it a trick. Makes dealing with the livestock easier... some neighbors fetch me when they need help with their animals."

He continues to follow Decklan, examining the ground while making a quick hand gesture which Ammos is certain is some kind of magical component.

OOC:

I think we are heading back out to the stream. Once clear of the kennel, Raven will start looking for any signs or tracks again.
