Granarctian

"And the invaded homes as well."

"I think some of us had decided to go inspect the ransacked houses first before chasing after the bear, but it might not be a bad idea to split our forces to gather information."

Eireann smiled at their host as he rises and wraps his cloak about him.

"Thank you, we will see you again soon, hopefully with this all resolved."

He steps out into the cold air and takes a breath, he leaves out a long sigh, which comes out as a rolling vapour that quickly rises and disappears above him. He waits for the others and follows along towards their first destination. He keeps his eyes open, wondering if whoever controls the bear might have spies among the birds too.

"We can talk to Terast without starting a bear hunt. He knows the local lands and wildlife. If an outsider is pretending to be a bear, their behavior will seem foreign and strange - like a Taskan speaking Granarctian. If anyone can identify the strangeness, it should be him. She replies to Crastug.

As it's approaching midday, more people have been filtering into the great hall and gawking at the visitors. Primor directs the young man who was at the gate when you arrived to lead you to Terast's cabin.

The ground inside the village fence has been churned into frozen mud and dirty slush from the foot traffic to and from the great hall, but outside the village the snow is pristine: the only obvious tracks are the ones you left on your way from the teleportation site to the village.

The watchman doesn't grumble, but he's pretty clearly not thrilled with the assignment. He seems to have accepted the Primor trusts you, at least. The hike takes well over two hours. The farther you get from Zybunny, the fewer farmhouses and snow-covered pastures you see, the hiller and more wooded the terrain gets.

Once you're completely out of sight of any human habitation, your guide occasionally pauses and points out a hunter's snare to avoid. Eventually he brings you to a tiny cabin with smoke rising from the chimney. The watchman pounds on the door.

A tall, scruffy, middle-aged Granarctian man throws open the rickety door. A powerful odor of soot, sweat, rawhide, and rancid lard hits you. He looks over the group looking a little unfocused.

"Whaht?"

Eireann hadn't expected the walk to take quite so long. He was a little breathless, cold on the outside and over-hot on the inside. He was not used to hiking in the cold.

When they finally made it to the house, he was relieved.

"I hope he has something to drink. Why keep the houses so far apart? "

When the man opened the door, the elf's nose wrinkled and he wondered was a drink from inside really worth it. Unable to hide his elven haughtiness, he looked down his nose at the man and remained quiet. This fella looked like he would struggle to understand his own language, he didn't want to confuse him further trying common.

Circe, lightly laden, doesn't fare too badly on the hike. Upon smelling what's wafting out from within, she turns to Eireann, with a ghost of a smile playing around her lips, and remarks.. "I think that answers your question." in Elvish, evidencing a measure of laconic, dry wit. She looks to see if the trapper evinces the same superstitious awe of elves as had others of his community.

Peek has been flying in lazy circles the entire time, except for the occasional dive onto a voleish death scream, an event which is followed by five minutes of gory snacking. The rest of the time he is a veritable eye in the sky.

Circe looks to Crastug to do the talking, once more showing the reserve which appears to be a trademark of her personality.

Tethyr, Half-Elf Magus

Granarctian

"Greetings, tracker. We come to speak of your great bear," Tethyr says simply.

He does his best to ignore everything else, it was obvious why the man wasn't invited to communal fire from his state and smell. It was interested how the scent of unwashed bodies and alcohol didn't change whether it was in a bustling city or remote wilderness. One drunk smelled like the next.

The Eyeball Kid · September 20, 2023

Crastug cocks his head a moment. The man had only said one word but it was telling that he defaulted to Common when surprised/annoyed. Admittedly garbled Common, but that seemed more a reflection on the man's state than his grasp of the language.

"You speak Common?", he asks. Without waiting for confirmation, he continues, "Your headman, Krai Primor, asked the duca for help regarding the bear breaking into the summer homes and we were sent. Krai Primor said that you were the man to ask about the bear and to help us track it. You have seen it, yes? What can you tell us about it?"

Circe, her characteristic reserve very much in evidence, steps back from the door and raises her falconer's glove. Peek drops out of the sky to dig bloody claws into said glove.

Ryfte · September 20, 2023

The hall hadn't been uncomfortable, at least not environmentally, but the constant stares and her inability to communicate with any of them was frustrating for the small cliffscale. She'd had the same problem with many of the dragoons and townsfolk, but her heavily accented common had always allowed her to avoid this particular problem so far. * Once we get back I'll have to look into some basic language skills... * The recent situation made it clear that she was going to have to pick up at least a smattering of the more common regional languages if nothing else.

Being back out in the cold was almost a relief after her social discomfort. "Reminds me of the tanner... and not nearly as bad as the docks could be either... mix the smell of fish in with that and you're hitting a wall of odors..." She spoke mostly to herself really as the scents wafted out from the doorway. She imagined that during this season one went out as little as possible, really only when needed, and this fellow found ale to be mostly what he needed, and had.

The other smells were those she commonly associated with hunting, skinning, and tanning. A smell she was quite familiar with, even with the mix of alcohol as well. Granted her kind didn't give of that same scent for the most part so it was quite the mix. She wasn't new to it by any means but the scents mixed in was new to her. Regular light ship traffic had always brought its fair share of grime ridden alcohol sodden sailors their way, in her village, and she'd smelled much worse over the years anyways.

descriptionAsh, the shortened version of her name that she primarily uses, especially with the scaleless, is an empathetic young female lizardfolk. Always concerned with the care of those in need, particularly the wounded, she goes out of her way to assist them, even complete strangers. Its why she became a field medic and followed the Way of the Water, for which she had a marked affinity.

She's quite small for a lizardfolk who are typically about the same size as a larger human. Her tribe, a cliffscale species is instead much smaller, slender and lithe, almost identical in size to that of a typical gnome but with a long slender tail of course. Her scales are a sandy tan and gray with darker mottled spots and her hands, feet, fingers, and toes allow her to scale sheer surfaces with ease. Most of her clothing is tan or a shade of gray-brown, her favorite color, and tends towards being short and non-binding or custom fitted, allowing her a freedom of movement more restrictive clothing simply won't. | application | pb sheetAshara'Rusa Chua'Kaolo, a.k.a.

Terast's eyes go blank, and you can almost see rusty gears grinding into motion as he processes Crastug's narration. He nods at Tethyr and Vega in turn, as though appreciative of their more direct questions. His voice is gravelly, like an axle that needs grease.

"Bear. She-bear. After her cubs. Dunno why the cubs are out. Cubs keep moving, house to house, an' she's followin'. Cubs' ghosts come out at night, but she ain't followin' them. Mebby got no scent."

He drops his eyes and shuffles uncomfortably, perhaps unsure if the conversation is over.

Conditions :

Eireann thought on what the man said.

"Nobody mentioned cubs. Perhaps the 2 travellers are leading the cubs to the houses and the mama bear is following? Would be some kind of cover to whatever they are searching for. Of course, if they had just quietly ransaked the houses and left them door closed afterwards, nobody might have discovered the mess for months. Certainly something strange going on. "

Circe, wondering what her owl is about to tell her, blinks in surprise at what she considers to be highly acute analysis from Eireann. It ticked a lot of the boxes.. criminals passing through, though the headman had said it the village was on the way to nowhere, which would make here the destination. Cubs that are moving from place to place, with a mother bear in pursuit, ripping places apart to find her cubs.. the obvious concealing the subtle. A long series of break ins meaning the criminals could be going house to house. She looks in Eireann's direction and nods her approval.. credit where credits due.
