Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
Mother-Soon's Journey
Renetta will see Waterstrider wrestling with three small forms. Two young Wolfen cubs and a goblin child of about the same size. The latter has black patterns died onto her skin, and all four are biting, clawing and growling at each other.
When they see and smell Renetta, they all freeze and the children climb off of Waterstrider to crowd near the entrance of the carriage, speaking in growls and yips. The more adult Wolfen chuckles. <She doesn't speak Wolfen.>
After a pause, the goblin speaks up. "Hi! We're Starcrest, Notch, and Black Stripes." She says, gesturing first to a brown Wolfen with a tan star shaped splotch over one eye, second to the tan Wolfen who has bite missing from her ear, and finally to herself.

"Uhuh!" The goblin girl says before being shoved aside by Starcrest. "We're his cousins!"
"Yep! All three of us!"
The Wolfens' tails wag as they lean forward and sniff at the elf. "Are you his mate?" Notch asks excitedly.

"Um..." Renetta looks over to Waterstrider again. Mating had certain connotations to her understanding of the word. Mostly being applied to animals and... certain activities. Of course, that doesn't apply here. It makes her hesitate though.
"Yeah... Yeah, sure." She says, still looking at Waterstrider, smiling. She shifts her gaze back to the three children.

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
Mother-Soon's Journey
Waterstrider smiles a bit at the words, and Renetta might be able to tell that he's refraining from showing his teeth. He'll have explained to her once that its a sign of hostility among Wolfen if one does so. The three children climb into the wagon to give Renetta gentle hugs before settling down around her, resting their heads on her lap and knees. "I didn't know elves could mate with Wolfen." Black Stripes says before Notch baps her head.
"Hey! What was that for?!?!"
Starcrest sighs and says a few things in Wolfen, making Black Stripes slump a bit before giving the elf a gentle hug, head down a bit and her pointed ears drooping slightly. "Sorry! I didn't want to bring up anything you don't want to talk ab-"
Notch baps Black Stripe again. "Sorry..." The goblin girl mutters before settling down again and watching the elf.
Waterstrider heads back to the front, chuckling the entire way and begins leading them all back to the village.

"It's okay." Renetta assures Black Stripes. She has rather little experience with children, but she'll manage. "How old are you three?" She asks.

Durin readies his weapon and takes a few steps forward and to the side. A reaction to the attacks already occurring are needed first, however.

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
Mother-Soon's Journey
Another Wolfen, this one a girl who is nearly full grown, joins the crowd, suddenly rising out of the grass where she had been unseen. Her fur is dark brindle, and she's considered quite attractive by Wolfen standards. "Where is Pathfinder?" Waterstrider will know her as Second Girl, and she is one of the generation of Wolfen who will be going on a name quest in the spring. She's always had a bit of a crush on his brother, though not to the extent that it prevented her flirting with other boys as well.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
[Coffin Hunting]
The man lets out a snarling-howl of fury as he gets harpooned in the chest. The curse takes hold on him, but quickly fizzles out afterward as the man's body begins to change. With horrific noises, his bones change shape within his body and he begins to sprout hair everywhere. The harpoon is violently ejected from his chest, with the gaping wound beginning to stitch itself up magically (though nowhere near fast enough to heal it up completely, so it's still gross).
Where the man stood, a gigantic silver-furred wolf crouches on four legs, glaring at the three of them with mad yellow eyes. The werewolf shrugs off the robe the man was wearing and jumps away from Durin and his readied weapon with a snarl.

"Ninesevenseven!" The three shout at once. "How old are you?" Notch asks, voicing the question they're all wondering.
Waterstrider keeps an ear turned towards that conversation as he looks at Second Girl with a smile. <He's on his own journey, but he's doing okay.>

Second Girl's tail swishes happily to hear that Pathfinder is still alive, and she walks alongside him as he leads the cart. "<You smell as if you are well. Will you tell the tale at the fireside tonight of the battle that took your paw?>"

Vino reloads his harpoon gun. Damn being out of Juice for a wind attack.Last edited by happyturtle; 2011-12-02 at 12:37 AM.

The children gasp in amazement. "But you look so young!" Starcrest says, flabbergasted. To them, 32 was when a Wolfen started getting gray muzzles and started to turn old!
Waterstrider holds up his missing paw and the muscles move as if he's tightening a fist. <Sadly, it is not that impressive of a story, but I'll gladly tell of it, and of what happened to us. We haven't missed the holiday, have we?>

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots

Second girl gives him a flirtatious nip. <"Have you grown too civilized to read the stars? It starts tomorrow. Though with your return, I hope Dawnrunner will let us begin early."> The name Dawnrunner was accompanied by body language and ear position that indicates she is the tribe's new alpha.My avatar!

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots

"But you're almost as old as our Elders!" Black Stripes exclaims, still disbelieving it.
Waterstrider flicks his ear in embarrassment at the nip and goes back to paying most of his attention to the mule. <We won't be here for too long. I wanted to have her see this before we leave again.>

Second Girl laughs at his reaction. <"Don't worry, I can tell you're taken. Besides, I have plenty of other males to choose from for my first mating.">
They can probably see the simple huts of the tribe's winter quarters coming in view now.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
Mother-Soon's Journey
The cubs settle down around Renetta, staying quiet as they watch the hills roll past, and if Renetta is paying attention, she'll see a large group of thatch huts appear over the next hill. There's dozens of Wolfen moving about, each one doing something to prepare for the celebration. Among them are a few humans and even a couple goblins, all living peacefully together. The center of the village is cleared around a massive smoldering charcoal pit where a large cauldron rests in the center, something cooking within. The smell of cooking meat reaches them even this far, and Waterstrider can't help but drool a bit.
The cubs too.

*pokes SC and Ghar*
Mother-Soon's Journey
At the top of the hill, Second Girl stops and, in a series of howls and yips, announces Waterstrider's arrival. She then races off into the village on all fours, giving him a saucy wiggle of her tail, that's almost an invitation, as a farewell. It's probably lucky that Renetta was distracted by the children, or even the conversation happening in Wolfen and the body language being unfamiliar to her couldn't have kept her from noticing how incorrigibly Second Girl was flirting with her man.
People gather around as the carriage is led into the village, but since I'm not sure what family Waterstrider has here, and which of them he wants to play himself, I'll pause for now.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Durin pursues the werewolf, steadily and with his weapon ready. Finally, an enemy with fresh blood. Durin's fangs elongate and his hands twist into claws. He doesn't lose himself to his thirst, however. Not just yet. The drowpire tries to suddenly close the distance between then and lash out with his sword in a horizontal arc.

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots

With another snarl of rage, the huge wolf ducks under the horizontal strike. Since it's so big, it gets clipped by the blade on the top of its head and across one of its ears, but the werewolf doesn't seem to be bothered by the blood dripping down in its eyes. With supernatural speed, the wolf counterattacks by darting its head forward and trying to bite Durin's sword-arm. With a bone-crushing bite it will attempt to rip off the arm, disable it, or at least gore it.

Vino moves so that he's alongside the wolf and in little danger of hitting Durin, and shoots the harpoon gun. If it hits the way he's aiming, it should pierce its chest perpendicular to its spine.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots

The werewolf coughs when Durin turns into smoke. Then it gets smashed by the iron hand! It doesn't quite get pressed into a wall, being a giant wolf, but it does yelp and falter to the side. Unfortunately, the impact of the iron throws off the werewolf's positioning, and the harpoon just misses its spine. The weapon does embed itself deep in the monster's side, though, which pains it even more. The curse once again only takes a small hold on the werewolf, as it is naturally resistant to most magics.
The huge wolf leaps once more, this time trying to maul Astrana. It aims to open up her face with its slavering jaws.

Re: [Nexus] HT's plots
Mother-Soon's Journey
A small crowd of children rush behind the wagon, all looking in and giving a series of yips, yowls, ear flicks, and comments in broken common, and the three in the back of the carriage reply in similar ways, making the entire group seem extremely excited.
Waterstrider stops them at the center of the village where a pair of adult Wolfen await. The most obvious is a large male with dark red fur. Like most Alphas, he has many scars on his body, causing odd patches of fur to be missing. He stands right behind a somewhat shorter female with silver fur, and everything about his stance says she's his superior.
As soon as Waterstrider stops, he helps Renetta out, giving the kids a quick Wolfen growl to get them to keep from crowding her, and he'll gently guide her to stand in front of the group of Elders, where he kneels in front of them, fully submissive. "This is <Mother-Soon> Renetta." He explains. "Renetta, these are Alpha Dawnrunner and her mate, Alpha Preysense."
Whisper Plot
Pathfinder sets a paw on Whisper's shoulder, to comfort her and keep her under control as they approach the town.
