Snippet #2413703

Thoroark continued sharpening the blade as he heard of the intruder,The Giant not even blinking an eye as he focused his ears on the surrounding area,picking up only faint noises after the thwack. The Giant nodded to the rest of the group and hoped to himself that Lauren hadn't gotten herself hurt. Willowspeak was even more dangerous at night.

"Right...Okay...Looping around,That might work if it's humanoid...However nothing's ever that simple on Willowspeak. I have a plan B. f you two get your weapons ready,and one of you can make a big fire of some kind, prepare whatever you need quickly and quietly....I'm going try and call whatever it is out,and use the Log as a shield. I'll be able to set it up if I'm pretending to cut it length-ways for fire-wood,and then I'll still have my blade. It's not an uncommon practice in Willowspeak or any of the surrounding villages. So if they're friendly or at least humanoid they shouldn't suspect anything. If it turns out to be something big and nasty,try and light the tree's and we can use the log as a fire-wall,it'll be a big enough flame to tell whatever else is on the mountain we mean business and it'll tell Lauren to hurry back. Then we can deal with it together,if it's friendly it should show up when I call it out." He whispered to the others,still keeping his eyes on his blade and the rock. As if they were simply having a normal conversation about something other then lighting trees on fire. He expected objections,maybe even cries of insanity or something of the like,at least from Michael,but that was why it was a suggestion. He was used to doing this sort of thing,it wouldn't be the first time he lit the mountain-side on fire to escape something deadly,especially when he was younger.

The Giant finally stopped sharpening his blade and inspected it, If Lauren was in the forest,she'd see the fire and either run around to get to them,or take out whatever fled through the darkness....He hoped....He realized a lot of survival on this mountain relied on luck and timing. He was kind of surprised he climbed the peak so many times,especially with all of Aisha's 'safety' precautions...He looked forward to heading back,who knew. Maybe he'd be able to stay there for good this time...He'd been saving coin for awhile now,All he needed was a reason. He instinctively brought out his coin purse and stared at it for awhile,most of his fortune was in that tiny little bag,Thank The Gods Theransted coin was so conveniently valued into Silvers,Golds and the like.
