Targets found

The morning starts off with you being awakened by the sounds of the glade, song birds singing, squirrels chattering, and above all of that the sounds of the Sprites moving about. Mother Willow is still resting against the large tree that dominates the glade, while Blue, Green, and Tulip are already up and cleaning up what's left of their homes. Nala is asleep standing up still bound by the root shackles that one of the Sprites summoned the night before. Everything from the day before seems like a bad dream, and the ache in your still bound shoulder reminds you that it is all too real. But you recall how you struggled to fight the one centaur with just your natural claws and decide that you are going to need a real weapon soon. You wait a few hours before you gather everyone up for the day's challenge of collecting a claimant crystal from a group of adventurers.

Tulip and Green have both decided to help, and your hostage Nala of The Pine Herd will be the guide. Gathering up the net that was used in yesterday's battle and with a brief warning for Nala not to run or lead you into a trap, you have the Sprites release her from her root like shackles. And follow as she leads you deeper into the trees of the forest, Two hours after leaving is when Nala starts to go very quiet and nods her head to a paved road of cobblestone just ahead through the trees. And a group of five adventurer’s walking up the path. The first Brian1889 Lvl 3 Barbarian, is a large man in bear fur throws and a large battle axe on his back. The second is a slight human male Justin Conrad Lvl 3 Fighter, he is in chain mail armor and carries a trident in his hands. The third is a woman Allofthetits Lvl 4 Sorceress in a long flowing black dress that accentuates her curves and shows off a generous view of her namesake. The fourth in line is a crazy looking small dwarf with pale white hair sticking out of the sides of his head and a long unkempt beard with something greasy looking in it, his name is Loki The Brave Lvl 2 Artificer. And the last is a peculiar sight as you are sure it's a female, but it has large crab like appendages sticking up from its shoulders, dark blue skin and gills on its neck, it carries a large club and is wearing leather armor. Named Shegath The Many Hands Lvl 4 Barbarian.

Seeing as you are outnumbered, the plan quickly comes to mind to just stalk them to wherever they are going and wait for the right moment to strike. So you shush your companions and begin to follow the party of adventurers as they make their way down the road, you have followed for well over five hours when they finally stop and appear to be setting up for lunch as Shegath begins to gather some sticks and logs to make a fire, and Allofthetits begins to light one. Justin Conrad draws a bow and disappears on the other side of the clearing, you decide to send Green to follow him and make sure that they haven't spotted you guys and decided to lay a trap of their own, so as he flies away into the trees to follow, you sit back and observe the camp being set up.Nothing to do but wait and watch, before to long the four around the fire start to banter like adventurers do.

“Well with the five of us that mountain troll doesn't stand a chance.” says Loki as he takes a seat by the fire, he is fiddling with something in his hands and does not appear to actually be interested just doesn't like the silence of the moment.

“Ho yeah you know that’s right brother, we will go in there me and Shegath and we will tank it out while you ranged fellas have a go at him, with my rages i should be able to take him by myself but Shegath has that thing where she grapples stupid large enemies and that will help out tons.” Brags Brian1889 as he thumps Loki on the shoulder with enough **** to send whatever was in his hands flying and nearly sending him into the fire.

“Watch it you big oaf if you want my tinkering to have any effect, I have to spend so much time fiddling with it, and I don't need to catch my beard on fire again. With you tanking I can only hope to watch you dunk just as we finish it off.” shouts Loki as he gains his balance and wanders off to gather his trinket mumbling under his breath.

Allofthetits just replies with “Gosh i hope he doesn’t have any clothes and i can use my seduction skills on him, I have the Explicit option on and have always wondered how big a mountain troll would be.”

“That’s all you ever think of Girlie, just tits and dick, go watch some porn and cool off.” Says Shegath as she huffs and stalks off. “I’m going to check on Justin and make sure we actually get something to fill our bellies.”

Is now the time to strike? You think of Green out there stalking Justin and another set of eyes could be a disaster for the small sprite if he doesn’t notice and hide from her as well. So you motion for the others to follow you, and while skulking around the clearing try to think of a plan of attack with only two of them out here in the woods it would be easier to take them out. But that still leaves the three at the fire, and if they don't hear the sounds of combat and come running then you still have to deal with them after.
