Strip And Bathe

First, you stopped at a nearby inn to make preparations. You left your fancy ceremonial armor and your majestic white horse there, with a room paid up for some time. When your own people inevitably came looking for you, that would be the first place they looked.

Then, you set off alone into the woods, dressed only in peasant clothes you'd stolen at the inn. You'd had to undo your magnificent golden curls into a more pedestrian haircut. You hated losing that, however you knew that your future riders would reshape your hair to their liking anyway.

Besides your impressive physique, and perhaps a certain "noble air" you'd never be able to shake, the only indication you weren't some common village girl was the short sword you kept hidden in your dress. I'm case anything approached you besides your future Hob-goblin Masters and needed to be dispatched.

You advanced into the woods until you caught the tell tale signs of Hob Goblins. Tracks associated with smaller goblinoid feet and larger humanoids wearing sturdy handles. Remnants of chewed leaves they tended to leave. Hitching posts that filled you with butterflies.

So, as evening fell, you set your plan into motion. Your heart fluttered as you took these last, fantastical steps.. you idly wondered what your noble mother would say as you set up a large conspicuous fire, hid your short sword away...and then began to undress. Your naked, flawless body in all of it's shapely curves and toned muscles was on display as you stepped into the water to bathe.

It would be such a shame if Hob-goblins found you like this. Naked, unarmed, ****...
