It all could've been resolved with a simple negotiation

by Marya Silverstring

We go to the camp and find the people that were around
Though we get spotted
And the people aren't that keen on us being here
So they go for their weapons
 
They say something along the lines of "if you drop your weapons, no harm will come to you"
I'm not that sure about them though....
One tries to grapple Nim and then 3 let loose arrows O.o
So much for "no harm", bullshit!
They're out for our bacon!
Since they started it, they're probably okay with dying here
So first things first, I throw an ice knife, killing one and injuring another and then going full wolf on the rest
Yep we're definitely going for life or death here
Nim then calls for a ceasefire
Well lets see whether that works out
And of course they're still trying to kill us and I bite ones head clean off
Brrr damn that tasted nasty >.<
It seemed like a really good idea at the time, but damn... >.<
And then they take off running
Cowards!
I go after one of the running ones, trying to get her, but this time I most definitely not try to kill her
I'm not really that keen on tasting humanoid blood
Meanwhile Nim went after one of them into the cavern
And Carson knocks her out cold
 
Then we're going after them in the cave
Carson gets the woman and we try to get to Nim
I switch to a giant badger and try to get through this rockfall
He's definitely not gonna die in there!
But damn those stones are annoying as hell!
Finally I get through, but something before me is running faster!
 
~ Meanwhile Hildove and the others follow Sebastian on the other path
There's loads of magical rune traps, but the people with Detect Magic find a safe way through
Then the group comes up to a fork
After that they go left
Then there's blood ~
 
For me, it's tracking time
Loads of possible ways
Almost like a maze
One strange scent in the air
And Nims is harder to make out
I'm sticking to the humanoid scent
It's not going the same way as the strange one
Once crossing with the though
The paths seem to be converging and diverging over and over again
Then there's blood where someone was injured
But the scents all seem to be converging on one location
The floor becomes strangely worked, like in a built structure
Then there's flame and light
And when I slowly sneak up there's a strange sight
There's a woman, injured
Nim
Another woman and a man
Also a large fourlegged beast with talons, wings and things
It's a griffon O.o
When raised from an egg, they're loyal as hell to the first person they stick with
One of the guys seems to be it's rider
Then I start listening in on them
Something seems to be further in there
They want to get in, get it and then get out
And they want to keep Nim! O.O
Also they chased whatever they're hunting here
