The third horse seems wary of Maenor. She shakes her head and backs up slightly as the elf approaches, but does not yet bolt.

Seeing Coda's example, Maenor pours some water from his waterskin into his hand and stands still, continuing to speak calmly and encouragingly.

let's try this again - (1d20+6)
(12) + 6 = 18

This time, the horse does not back away, perhaps intrigued by the prospect of water.

Maenor steps slowly forward, allowing the water to fall through his hand, then presents it to the horse to sniff, while he gently strokes her neck.

Is the nearby hobgoblin wearing a cloak, or any other form of fabric that would be easy to remove?Last edited December 20, 2016 11:32 pm

Okay, wasn't sure how Speak with Animals worked and that the party wouldn't understand me.Last edited December 20, 2016 11:47 pm

The mare near Coda remains still, breathing heavily. She neighs loudly, tipping her head up to amplify the sound.
The other horses, all mares, stand where they are, ears forward after the first mare neighs. They approach to herd together, still a tad wary, but not as skittish and before.

Eh, that's how I think of Speak with Animals. You don't have to hide your statements from the party, but I plan to conceal the animal's responses to those that would understand.Dec 21, 2016 12:00 am
Maenor looks impressed at the halfling's skill. "I believe they need to walk to cool down so that they do not get injured. Would you be able to persuade the lead mare to do so? Then we can rub them down."
Dec 21, 2016 12:14 am
Coda turns to Maenor "Why not rub them down here? We took care of the threat and we know it is safe, for at least a little while. I'm sure laying down is more comfortable than walking but this isn't my decision to make." he smiles to Maenor and turns back to the horse "What do you prefer? Rest here for a bit for a little water bath cooling or walk and search for a pound?"

While Coda converses with the herd, Maenor returns to the body of the hobgoblin with the bow and searches it for anything useful.

From searching the hobgoblins, you acquire three suits of chainmail sized for a human, two spears, three longswords, and 18 arrows. The longbow's string has snapped, but such can be replaced if one had the appropriate materials. Aside from a bit of padded clothes underneath the armor, none of the hobgoblins had anything else like a cloak or robe. A total of 43 silver and 15 gold is collected.
One of the hobgoblins has a map with the same features as the one you've already collected. There is also a letter, written in the same language as one of the other letters you acquired. Comparing the two letters leads you to believe their statements are also alike.
The saddlebags on the horses contain some rudimentary camping gear, including tinderboxes, waterskins, and dry rations. A bedroll sits behind each saddle.

Daniel takes the gold and the morningstar, tying his blindfold back around his head when he's finished. "Well hopefully that's the last we'll see of them."

"Very well, rest and water." Coda smiles and turns to the group "A decision has been made, we search for water." he walks back to Maribel and gives her a few pets "How are you doing?"
Dec 21, 2016 8:58 pm
Coda nods "That's good and how do you feel about being with us. I don't want you to feel trapped and obliged to stay with us for whatever reason. Your freedom is yours and it has been since we met and I want you to know that now."

"I mean, yeah, your life is yours now. No stables or saddles, you can be out in the wild, naked and grazin' on the grass all day if you so wish. If you don't wish to be with us, you are free to go, that isn't saying I don't enjoy your company though. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't own you, you are your own creature. I mean, do you even like the name Maribel?"
Dec 22, 2016 2:27 am
Maribel lets out a small bray, and remains where she is to graze on some grass.

Coda smiles and rubs Maribel's neck "As long as you're happy." he gives pause for a second "Since I can only understand you through magical means, if you should ever want to talk, lift your right leg up and nudge me."
OOC:
Ready when the rest are.

"Aye," Coda smiles "The voiceless need a voice and I am their vessel." he chuckles a bit.
