She bends into a slight bow, "Greetings, I am Bizenghast. You know this boar, do you? Fancy some ham-hock?" she says, quite proud of her companions for taking the notorious beast down.

"Master Aethelwine," the elf-maid says with a slight bow of her head, I am Moonglimmer. We seek your aid to find a rowan tree without disturbing the natural order of your home. Will you help me? "
Re: Chapter 2 ~ Into the Forest of Nye
Athelwine looks a bit cross at the offer to eat the boar, "Young lady, I may live a solitary life in the middle of a great forest, but I am not a savage... To think that I would eat this cantankerous old boar, you are wrong. Take him away with you when you leave, but you shall not roast him in my glade."
The cleric nods at Otis and smiles, "I knew your father and you are as tall as he once was!"
He then turns his attention to Erwin and Moonglimmer.
"Young man, you certainly are a follower of Silvanus. I see the mark of the Green Man upon you. And you, fair elf, I know that your story has begun to unfold. You shall have my blessing to cut one branch of the rowan tree...but only one. With it, you may carve a bow worthy of your skill."
"Now, let us see...there is a very fine rowan tree in the...AUCKKKKK!!!"
Aethelwine shouts in alarm and dashes past the visitors. He runs to the persimmon tree where you see Bane, the JubJub bird with her head in the bucket!
Actions?

Fungo watches with interest. He looks up at the others when the cleric runs to defend his mighty bucket. So no boar?
Re: Chapter 2 ~ Into the Forest of Nye
"Now Bane," Erwin says, moving closer to the tree and basket, "what have you gotten yourself into?" he turns to Aethelwine. "You'll have to excuse the bird, he won't seem to leave us and he has a mind of his own. Perhaps you can tame him?"
Re: Chapter 2 ~ Into the Forest of Nye
Fungo is confused. Tame food?

Otis - Fighter
Otis smiles at the mention of his late father, and pleasant thoughts sweep over him - at least until he sees the cleric running toward the bird. Otis shouts "I didn't like that big bird from the start, you want I should bash him?" And he stands ready with his table leg, eager to settle the score with the bird...

Re: Chapter 2 ~ Into the Forest of Nye
Aethelwine looks at the bird with a scowl. "Looks like that dumb bird has grown fond of you, Erwin."
Bane looks up from the empty bucket and rests her head on Erwin's shoulder.
At the edge of the glade, another figure appears. It is a knight, armored in antique plate, and leading an old warhorse. The man is also past his prime.
Aethelwine glances over at the man, "Oh, wonderful. Looks like another visitor. Well, you all may as well come in. I can pick persimmons later."
He moves towards the long house, "Oh, by the way...your spider friend is here already. He's sleeping up in the eaves of my house."

"We are grateful for your welcome hospitality, Master Aethelwine," Moonglimmer says with a knowing smile.
She chitters a "Hello" to Attercop as she walks toward the newcomer.
"Hello, Sir Knight, my name is Moonglimmer, and this motley menagerie," she gestures to the people behind her, "are my boon companions on a brief quest to find a rowan tree."

Re: Chapter 2 ~ Into the Forest of Nye
Hedwig was in a foul mood when he and his horse broke through the treeline of the glade. He took a moment to catch his breath, his pale eyes peering out from beetling brows as he took in the well-timbered house in the middle. He was a tall man encased in a suit of plate that had seen much better days in older times. Tarnished and flecked with rust, the ancient plate was dented here and there yet the old man wore it well. A sword rested at his hip and his shield rested at his horse's saddle. The visor of his helmet was up, revealing a face etched with deep lines, a jutting chin and a potato nose.
"Come along, Goliath," he murmured to the horse behind him, a large black and white destrier that wickered in response. "We''ll drink some water and ask for the way out of this forest." Holding the reins Hedwig trudged on toward the lodge. Then suddenly he saw her, a woman of startling beauty approaching
"Did I hear you correctly, that you are on a quest?" The deep wrinkles around his eyes pulled away from his eyes as his brows rose. "I have met several knights of Nye." Impertinent youths all, he thought, his ears still burning from their laughter at the sight of him. "They say this forest is home to fell beasts and fiends of evil. The forest is no place for such a fair lady as well as the young child in your retinue. If you won't heed my warning, then let me accompany you as an escort on your quest for the hunt for the Jabberwocky is of less import."
Hedwig draws steel and kneels before her, his sword held before him, tip in the grass, his gauntleted hands holding the grip."I pledge my sword and my life to you, Lady Moonglimmer, my oath dissolved only when your quest is accomplished. On my sacred honor!"
Before he hears her response, Hedwig catches something in the corner of his eye. His eyes widen in alarm at the sight of the ettercap and quickly rises, grunting with the effort. "Egads!" he cries out, putting himself between the elf and the creature. "I'll protect you, m'lady!"

Hedwig, struck by her ethereal beauty, bows before the elf, his old armor creaking with the effort, "My lady, I am but your humble servant Sir Hedwig of Savenna. Forgive me as I do not have the easy way with words as a bard or poet, but you are as radiant as the summer sun." He takes her hand and brushes his lips against her knuckles before righting himself up before her, his poise straight and unyielding.mythictom wrote:"Hello, Sir Knight, my name is Moonglimmer, and this motley menagerie," she gestures to the people behind her, "are my boon companions on a brief quest to find a rowan tree."
