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.
