"I don't even know how to describe them to you, you'll know when you see them, but they're hard to keep down and away, we can lure them out with the feed we have but we need your help with the actual catching part... he's not going to pull a miracle out of his rear like last time." The male gopher takes offense to that and goes to get a large bag of some sort of seeds. "They eat these." he says very simply, in an aggiated tone. "No they aren't as dangerous as they may give an impression of being." he adds. "So, can we rely on your help?"<br> <br>Angus looks to the cages. "....What exactly are we trying to recatch?" He asks bluntly, shaking his head. "You can try if you like Kalt, but don't go protecting me, and forget to take care of yourself." He tips his hat to Adolphus when he speaks his name, eyeing both Asher and Fenris. "Asher, just stick to Fenris, he should help keep you safe if need be."<br> <br>Adolphus grunts, "What manner of animal are they then, mammal, avian, bug, slime..." he remains with his arms folded. <br> <br>Kalt whistles innocently as she gives a nod to Angus. "Yes'sir." She figures that's the best response for the situation, and ensures her berserker buckler is strapped and ready. The sharpened edge serving as a extra weapon for herself, to compliment her axe and brutal fighting style. She looks over the seed and raises an eyebrow however as she tries to imagine what sort of creature it was. "Sure you ain't bringin farm critters round?"<br> <br>"Well," Fenris says, "If we are going to need some fire power." The tiger discreetly alters the configuration of his soul gems and waits as he feels his connection to the elements grow. "I'm sure that we can catch your creatures," he says, checking his bracer to be sure that his strange electrical problem is under control. He gives Asher a pat on the head. "Like Angus said," he grins, "just stick with me, kiddo."<br> <br>Asher swallows hard and nods to first Angus, then Fenris. "Okay, you just tell me what to do then," he says timidly.

"Maybe reptile?" says Carry before the male retorts with "You mean Amphibian." When the words fire power come up they seem concerend. "No please don't hurt them! We didn't drag them away from their home all the way here to let someone fry them. Please be gentle!" one says before the other nods. "They don't just eat seeds I believe, they eat almost anything that we would eat given the chance they just like these special seeds a lot. They go nuts for them, but they're good for bringing them to one spot." The two nod and move out through the forest, trying to find a spot they like. As they find one they being to set up. "Here seems like a logical place to try." says the male as he drops a handful of seeds out in the open, before he takes a few steps back and looks to the group.<br> <br>Angus gives both Fenris and Kalt a smile as he follows the two Gophers, hands in his pokets as looks around. "Heh....reminds me of a simliar situation awhile back. With beetles the size of wagons, hopefully this doesn't go the same way as that one." He comments as he waits to see what happens.<br> <br>Alef nods lightly. "Im not sure whats going on, but if I can help I will do what I can." nodding lightly as she taps her chin.<br> <br>Kalt offers a wave to the new arrival before watching the gophers go out and begin to spread the seeds. "Right'o then I'm supposin... Guess it's gonna be uh... Well shit. Guess I'mma be here if'n crap goes sour n'such." She nods to herself then as she walks after Angus, smirking widely. "Aw it ain't gonna be that bad Angus sir. You got me runnin round an' all... Creators' be knowin Kalt here can be takin a whoopin'n what not."<br> <br>"Don't worry," Fenris grins, "I have no intention of hurting your maybe reptiles." He waves at Alef as he saunters after Angus, keeping Asher close. "Hi Alef!" he says, "We're catching beasties! Glad you're here!" Fenris looks around the clearing. "Heavy? These beasties of yours?" he asks the gophers as he starts getting a feel for what he wants to accomplish.<br> <br>Asher trots close after Fenris. He is curious about these creatures, but worried about getting in a fight with them The little canine tugs on Fenris's coat. "Maybe we should get a better vantage point?" he asks, pointing to the surrounding trees.<br> <br>"Maybe as heavy as you without your armor, it's hard to tell with that big one." says Carry as she and the other gopher move the cages within decent range of the lure. As they do, there appears to be rustling in the bushes! The bait sure has lured something, but what is unclear at this time.<br> <br>Angus nods as he stares at the rustling bushes, chuckling. "Kalt, those beetles tossed me and a friend into a tree. They weren't exactly the friendliest things Ive encountered, but You should be able to handle this." He teases, giving her a wink as he waits to see what comes rushing out.<br> <br>Kalt tenses her left arm at the rustling, positioning herself so the buckler is easily available to come up. Glancing to angus as she smirks. "Well, ain't no reason to be scared of a 'lil tossin now eh?" She grins confidently, her right hand resting on the hilt of her axe -just- in case.<br> <br>Fenris looks to the rustling bushes, but keeps his focus on the careful earth magic he is working in the clearing. "I should have something ready to corral them if you can get them into the center of the clearing," he says. His ears flick and another small sound in the foliage to the south. "There's another that way," he motions with a nod.<br> <br>Alef puts a hand on Fenris's shoulder, nodding "Il follow your lead. my power is yours." nodding as her own earth magic mingles with Fenris's, ready to follow his head when he acts, keeping as quiet as the tall girl can in her padded armor and robes.<br> <br>Asher nods to Fenris, turning to keep his back to the much bigger tiger. He had heard it too. "I'm watching for it," he says, not sure what he will do if something comes charging out of the bushes.<br> <br>The rustling stops as a skirth emerges from the bushes. It approaches Fenris and Alef as quickly as it can, seemingly drawn to the lure meant for whatever they were supposed to capture.<br> <br>Angus blinks at the Skirth, trying not to burst out laughing. "Well, that is one monster out of the way!" The fox comments when he is finally able to catch his breath again, relaxing a little more as he turns to face the hidden threat to the south, adjusting his hat to keep the sun out of his eyes.<br> <br>Kalt gets a rather confused look on her face as she looks at the skrith. "... Huh. Well one lil'bugger ain't too bad I'm supposin... Ain't no swarm or nuttin." She nods to herself, figuring the others more than capable of squashing a bug as she turns back to follow angus' gaze.<br> <br>Fenris stares at the enormous insect. Not the right sort of beastie at all. Usually, he would just ignore the thing, but it was eating their bait! And probably keeping their actual quarry from emerging. "Anyone care to drive our unwelcome visitor off?" he asks, maintaining his focus on the fast acting earth magic he has planned. "But calmly if you can," he adds, "We don't want to frighten OUR beasties too."<br> <br>Asher looks from Fenris to the newly arrived skrith. "Um, Shoo!" the little corgi waves his stubby little hands at the thing while he fumbles with his soul gem. He had not come here expecting trouble! The little canine draws his saber and waves it as menacingly as he can manage at the giant bug.<br> <br>Alef frowns, thinking of something she could do as she keeps her earth magic going to Fenris as well, sighing quietly as she does nothing to break her consentration on the magic.<br> <br>The Skrith refuses to yeild, rearing at Asher as it threatens it. As this goes on, from the south, rather large creature emerges from the foliage. It is of deccent size, if it could stand up it would tower over the average being. It does not appear to possess this abliity however, it's four limbs pushing it's tall body along. It's skin seems rather wet, and it's bright blue coloration stands out well against the forest. The most peculiar feature on this creature is that through it's body, is a massive hole, which cleans through to the other side.<br> <br>Angus squints a little as the Skirth just doesn't seem to want to leave, his eyes going a little wide as the new creature appears. "Oh dear." Not good, he looks down at the Skirth, then to the bigger creature before he takes a step over near Asher and punts the Skirth away, trying to get the annoying little thing out of the way so they could focus on the bigger target!<br> <br>Kalt whistles as she sees this new foe, pointing to it. "So I'm guessin that's the thing ain't it? One of 'em least... Shit, they suppose to be havin big holes an' stuff?" Letting angus have his fun with the Skrith as she idly walks in a half circle around the new appearance. Keeping her eyes on the creature while remaining ready to intercept it.<br> <br>"You okay there, kid?" Fenris asks Asher, his eyes drawn away from the corgi to the strange, lumbering creature. Time to catch at least this one! Fenris activates the complicated math he has prepared, forcing the earth under the creature downward while creating a rough dome over the top of the creature. That ought to hold it. Now to help Asher and find the other one. "What did you call these things?" he asks the gophers as he relaxes for a moment. Hopefully he can do that again.<br> <br>Alef's power jumps to work with Fenris's, forming the dome while Fenris deforms the ground, forming a impromptu pit, smiling and letting out a gasp as the dome of hard stone and tree root weaves into place above the odd beast. "Lets hope that holds it."<br> <br>Asher yelps as Angus steps in and punts the skrith, jumping back a little to stay out of the way. "F-f-f-fine," he stammers in response to Fenris's question, but keeping his blade ready, just in case. |

Standing at a meeting place, established in the request, are a pair of gophers. They banter back and forth with eachother, the male and female voices contrasting sharply, increasingly so as the female seems to get more and more worked up. "YOU ARE NOT A TALENTED Mathmatician, PLEASE stop trying to make the cart go faster. The next time you do the caravan could hurt someone!" the female says. "I'm sorry, but theres no need to drag my talent into this, I'll get it down next time Carry." Carry, apparently the female gopher, puts her hands on her head and makes a very frusrated sound. The two stand by an assortment of gear, and two empty cages.
Angus sighs a little bit as he gets closer to, hearing their shouting from what could of easily been a mile away. "I'm guessing things didn't go well?" He asks as he stops a few feet off from them, letting them argue for now.
Adolphus was running patrols in the forest. The huge hulking, tubby Hippo gives a light rumble. His leather and chainmail bulging across his middle, warhammer across his back he surveys the situation. "Gophers..." he says flatly. A glance around the area to make sure no one is in immediate danger and then he crossesover his fleshy arms to see what's to be done.
Kalt enters not far behind Angus, her weapons sharpened and ready at her sides as her armor gives her form a nice sense of protection... Though for whatever reason, the vixen never bothers with a helmet. She idly adjusts some of the cloth identifying her as a Solacious worker, before looking to Angus. "Ain't lookin' good that's right. Least ain't no blood n'such right?" She nods to herself gently before looking over the cages to check their sizes.
Fenris alights expertly in a small blast of wind magic. It was always faster to travel by air. "I heard someone needed help with some lost creatures," he says, nodding to the familiar gathering and giving the royal hippo a graceful bow.
Asher wobbles dazedly into the clearing from within a nearby bush. He had been going through some exercises with Fenris when the call came, but wasn't nearly so graceful with his air magic. He does his best to make himself presentable, then joins the group.
The gophers don't seem to notice the group at first, bickering about past blunders and whether or not anyone was at fault for a very long time. The male finally points to the group. "How about we handle this first, they've been waiting patiently." he says in a tone that suggests he's merely diverting attention from himself. Carry snaps her gaze to the group for a second before she swats the male. "Why didn't you tell me?" she says as she turns, her angry face gone as she smiles ever so sweetly and politely bows. "Hello! are you all here to help us wrangle up our cargo? It might be a little hazardous but we can pay." she says as she points to the rather large cages, each could fit an average sized being.
Angus taps his claws on his forearm as he waits, nodding a little to Kalt. "No blood yes, but that doesn't mean this will be any easier then normal." His tail flicks as he waits for them to be noticed, just giving them a smile as they finally notice the group, nodding in turn before turning to look at Adolphus, bowing a little in greeting.
Adolphus senses the air magic, his bulk turns to see Fenris, the faintest incline of his head to return his bow. Air magic, of course, doens't agree ith him. He then glances at the large cages, "What exactly were you transporting good citizens. Nothing illegal I suppose, those are fairly large cages. That and the land routes have become a little more dangerous. Nothing I hope that's too dangerous." he flicks his eyes back to the pair. He gives a more firm nod to Angus, "Lord Solacious"
Kalt nods to Angus as she adjusts her gear and looks to Fenris and Asher. "Well shit, s'a party now ain't it?
Kalt nods to Angus as she adjusts her gear and looks to Fenris and Asher. "Well shit, s'a party now ain't it?" She grins and offers a wave before turning her attention back to angus. "Fair'nuff. Supposin' I'll be makin sure it ain't hurtin you though eh?" She gives him a rather coy grin before nodding to the gophers.
Fenris gives a swaggery sort of salute. "Of course Ma'am," he says with a grin, "No problem too big or too small!" And these ones certainly didn't look small. The tiger grins at Kalt's casual profanity, she would have to get that tongue under control before she met Mirana Solacious. "What exactly are we wrangling?" he asks, echoing Adolphus's question.
Asher stares at the cages. Whatever had been in there could probably swallow him whole! The little corgi starts when he notices a new face, and a royal to boot! Firmament was certainly all you could ask for in excitement. "I, I hope that I can be of help," the little dog stammers.
"No not illegal just bizzare... worth studying really, they really are." says Carry as she rubs her head. "I don't even know how to describe them to you, you'll know when you see them, but they're hard to keep down and away, we can lure them out with the feed we have but we need your help with the actual catching part... he's not going to pull a miracle out of his rear like last time." The male gopher takes offense to that and goes to get a large bag of some sort of seeds. "They eat these." he says very simply, in an aggiated tone. "No they aren't as dangerous as they may give an impression of being." he adds. "So, can we rely on your help?"
Angus looks to the cages. "....What exactly are we trying to recatch?" He asks bluntly, shaking his head. "You can try if you like Kalt, but don't go protecting me, and forget to take care of yourself." He tips his hat to Adolphus when he speaks his name, eyeing both Asher and Fenris. "Asher, just stick to Fenris, he should help keep you safe if need be."
Adolphus grunts, "What manner of animal are they then, mammal, avian, bug, slime..." he remains with his arms folded.
Kalt whistles innocently as she gives a nod to Angus. "Yes'sir." She figures that's the best response for the situation, and ensures her berserker buckler is strapped and ready. The sharpened edge serving as a extra weapon for herself, to compliment her axe and brutal fighting style. She looks over the seed and raises an eyebrow however as she tries to imagine what sort of creature it was. "Sure you ain't bringin farm critters round?"
"Well," Fenris says, "If we are going to need some fire power." The tiger discreetly alters the configuration of his soul gems and waits as he feels his connection to the elements grow. "I'm sure that we can catch your creatures," he says, checking his bracer to be sure that his strange electrical problem is under control. He gives Asher a pat on the head. "Like Angus said," he grins, "just stick with me, kiddo."
Asher swallows hard and nods to first Angus, then Fenris. "Okay, you just tell me what to do then," he says timidly. "I'm usually pretty good with animals, you know," the little dog perks up for a moment, "As long as they only eat seeds."
Alef comes walking out of the forest, having been on patrol when she heard the arguement before, looking at the gathered group. "Sir Angus? Lord Good?" Looking supprised by the gathering "Whats going on out here?" Looking supprised but pleasently so.
The two look to eachother. "Maybe reptile?" says Carry before the male retorts with "You mean Amphibian." When the words fire power come up they seem concerend. "No please don't hurt them! We didn't drag them away from their home all the way here to let someone fry them. Please be gentle!" one says before the other nods. "They don't just eat seeds I believe, they eat almost anything that we would eat given the chance they just like these special seeds a lot.

"Here seems like a logical place to try." says the male as he drops a handful of seeds out in the open, before he takes a few steps back and looks to the group.
Angus gives both Fenris and Kalt a smile as he follows the two Gophers, hands in his pokets as looks around. "Heh....reminds me of a simliar situation awhile back. With beetles the size of wagons, hopefully this doesn't go the same way as that one." He comments as he waits to see what happens.
Alef nods lightly. "Im not sure whats going on, but if I can help I will do what I can." nodding lightly as she taps her chin.
Kalt offers a wave to the new arrival before watching the gophers go out and begin to spread the seeds. "Right'o then I'm supposin... Guess it's gonna be uh... Well shit. Guess I'mma be here if'n crap goes sour n'such." She nods to herself then as she walks after Angus, smirking widely. "Aw it ain't gonna be that bad Angus sir. You got me runnin round an' all... Creators' be knowin Kalt here can be takin a whoopin'n what not."
"Don't worry," Fenris grins, "I have no intention of hurting your maybe reptiles." He waves at Alef as he saunters after Angus, keeping Asher close. "Hi Alef!" he says, "We're catching beasties! Glad you're here!" Fenris looks around the clearing. "Heavy? These beasties of yours?" he asks the gophers as he starts getting a feel for what he wants to accomplish.
Asher trots close after Fenris. He is curious about these creatures, but worried about getting in a fight with them The little canine tugs on Fenris's coat. "Maybe we should get a better vantage point?" he asks, pointing to the surrounding trees.
"Maybe as heavy as you without your armor, it's hard to tell with that big one." says Carry as she and the other gopher move the cages within decent range of the lure. As they do, there appears to be rustling in the bushes! The bait sure has lured something, but what is unclear at this time.
Angus nods as he stares at the rustling bushes, chuckling. "Kalt, those beetles tossed me and a friend into a tree. They weren't exactly the friendliest things Ive encountered, but You should be able to handle this." He teases, giving her a wink as he waits to see what comes rushing out.
Kalt tenses her left arm at the rustling, positioning herself so the buckler is easily available to come up. Glancing to angus as she smirks. "Well, ain't no reason to be scared of a 'lil tossin now eh?" She grins confidently, her right hand resting on the hilt of her axe -just- in case.
Fenris looks to the rustling bushes, but keeps his focus on the careful earth magic he is working in the clearing. "I should have something ready to corral them if you can get them into the center of the clearing," he says. His ears flick and another small sound in the foliage to the south. "There's another that way," he motions with a nod.
Alef puts a hand on Fenris's shoulder, nodding "Il follow your lead. my power is yours." nodding as her own earth magic mingles with Fenris's, ready to follow his head when he acts, keeping as quiet as the tall girl can in her padded armor and robes.
Asher nods to Fenris, turning to keep his back to the much bigger tiger. He had heard it too. "I'm watching for it," he says, not sure what he will do if something comes charging out of the bushes.
The rustling stops as a skirth emerges from the bushes. It approaches Fenris and Alef as quickly as it can, seemingly drawn to the lure meant for whatever they were supposed to capture.
Angus blinks at the Skirth, trying not to burst out laughing. "Well, that is one monster out of the way!" The fox comments when he is finally able to catch his breath again, relaxing a little more as he turns to face the hidden threat to the south, adjusting his hat to keep the sun out of his eyes.
Kalt gets a rather confused look on her face as she looks at the skrith. "... Huh. Well one lil'bugger ain't too bad I'm supposin... Ain't no swarm or nuttin." She nods to herself, figuring the others more than capable of squashing a bug as she turns back to follow angus' gaze.
Fenris stares at the enormous insect. Not the right sort of beastie at all. Usually, he would just ignore the thing, but it was eating their bait! And probably keeping their actual quarry from emerging. "Anyone care to drive our unwelcome visitor off?" he asks, maintaining his focus on the fast acting earth magic he has planned. "But calmly if you can," he adds, "We don't want to frighten OUR beasties too."
Asher looks from Fenris to the newly arrived skrith. "Um, Shoo!" the little corgi waves his stubby little hands at the thing while he fumbles with his soul gem. He had not come here expecting trouble! The little canine draws his saber and waves it as menacingly as he can manage at the giant bug.
Alef frowns, thinking of something she could do as she keeps her earth magic going to Fenris as well, sighing quietly as she does nothing to break her consentration on the magic.
The Skrith refuses to yeild, rearing at Asher as it threatens it. As this goes on, from the south, rather large creature emerges from the foliage. It is of deccent size, if it could stand up it would tower over the average being. It does not appear to possess this abliity however, it's four limbs pushing it's tall body along. It's skin seems rather wet, and it's bright blue coloration stands out well against the forest. The most peculiar feature on this creature is that through it's body, is a massive hole, which cleans through to the other side.
Angus squints a little as the Skirth just doesn't seem to want to leave, his eyes going a little wide as the new creature appears. "Oh dear." Not good, he looks down at the Skirth, then to the bigger creature before he takes a step over near Asher and punts the Skirth away, trying to get the annoying little thing out of the way so they could focus on the bigger target!
Kalt whistles as she sees this new foe, pointing to it. "So I'm guessin that's the thing ain't it? One of 'em least... Shit, they suppose to be havin big holes an' stuff?" Letting angus have his fun with the Skrith as she idly walks in a half circle around the new appearance. Keeping her eyes on the creature while remaining ready to intercept it.
"You okay there, kid?" Fenris asks Asher, his eyes drawn away from the corgi to the strange, lumbering creature. Time to catch at least this one! Fenris activates the complicated math he has prepared, forcing the earth under the creature downward while creating a rough dome over the top of the creature. That ought to hold it. Now to help Asher and find the other one. "What did you call these things?" he asks the gophers as he relaxes for a moment. Hopefully he can do that again.
Alef's power jumps to work with Fenris's, forming the dome while Fenris deforms the ground, forming a impromptu pit, smiling and letting out a gasp as the dome of hard stone and tree root weaves into place above the odd beast. "Lets hope that holds it."
Asher yelps as Angus steps in and punts the skrith, jumping back a little to stay out of the way. "F-f-f-fine," he stammers in response to Fenris's question, but keeping his blade ready, just in case.
