I hate this.
I Hate This.
I HATE THIS.
Cultbuster get's a fancy carriage and a driver! Armed Jesters get a whole teleportation circle! But we get a dingy-ass wagon? And I have to drive it?! We've been at this for half a day and my ass is already numb with several splinters in my tail. I have the constant sound of the hyenafolk breathing in my ears as she scurries back and forth looking at the forest. At least the lizard is quiet, but every once in a while I can feel his eyes on my.
Team Manhunter? More like Maneater. I know both of them are carrion eaters; able to eat rotting flesh and think it's a decent meal. Lizards have no reservations about eating a fallen comrade, I just hope this gnoll girl doesn't share his habits. Honestly I don't care to learn nor state their names. After all, history is written by the victors, and I'm gonna write whatever I want.
The weight of the wagon shifts to the side again as the gnoll girl moves over to look at another shiny rock or something. The horses are getting real pissy with it and are getting harder to control. "Oi! Shiela! Mind knocking of the tossing in turning? Stick to one side!"
"Her name is Yoona, not Shiela." She said with indignation.
"Whatever. Just keep to one side. Damn dog." I say the last part under my breath, but she seemed to still here me.
"Yoona is a gnoll, and we are more like the catfolk than the wolffolk. Here, Master told me, look." She waves the book she's been holding onto in front of my face as it flips open to a page, but it's just covered in chicken scratch and ink blotches. I pretty sure even if I could read gnoll I wouldn't understand this. "See?"
"No, I don't see." I give an angered look is I move my hand to swat the book from my face when a frail, white-scaled hand grab me by the wrist. I'm surrounded on both sides. "Stop the wagon." The lizard commands me quiet and rough. I give a bit if a confused nod as he lets my hand go as I pull the reins.
"Alright what gives? We still got a day in a half of travel. We can't just stop for --"
"We are riding right into an ambush." He says pointing to the small pile of animal bones he has strewn about in the back of the wagon. Like I'm supposed to know what that means. "Take the horses and retreat a good distance, then come back and stand ready. Look towards the south." I want to argue with him but something tells me he's more on the ball then I give him credit for. I stand to unhook the horses.
"Gnoll, assist me. We need to set wards." The lizard looked to the hyena with stoic face, but a determined look in his eye.
Yoona pulls out a quill and a handful of gold coins from her bag, her spellbook floating next to her at the ready. "Yoona is ready to help!"
