Meditations and Reflections

[Ursula]

*Still in Bjornen, Ursula tenses slightly as 'Tom approaches, though she shows no visible signs of suspicion, her voice calm despite the rough growling undertone the bestial Bjornen form forces into it*

"I am afraid they've already attempted a capture my friend, though I believe I've frightened them off. How did you discover their plans?"

[Edward Deal]

"I over heard them talking in one of the local Inn's."

"I attempted to beat them hear, I teleported but the spell dumped me in Dunnfalls rather then the Forrest as I had intended so I decided to look for you knowing that I would have been of little use. After all waht can a mere "Human" Hobo Magician do aginst a pack of Goblins."

[Ursula]

*Ursula's eyes narrow as the growling note in her voice becomes more pronounced, wondering if 'Tom' realises that he's just given himself away*

"I see. You landed in the Dunfalls, eh? Yet you seem surprisingly dry... or have you used some spell to dry yourself off? That might explain why you don't smell quite like Tom..."

[Edward Deal]

"Err. Yes, But of corse. I may dress a bit scruffyiley but I don't perticualy like being wet."

"Honestly you would think I would learn not to use that spell it never works. I should have taken Hordriss up on his offer. "Old Fool" though he is he's a darn site better at magic then me."

[Ursula]

*Before 'Tom' can react, Ursula seizes him by the collar and pulls him off his feet, holding him almost a foot off the ground*

"You are NOT Tom. The real Tom would not call Hordriss an old fool, and neither would he admit that he is the better magician. You had best explain yourself, I am in no mood to be trifled with!"

[Visage]

*Out of the corner of her eye, Ursula sees another goblin sneaking around the clearing, approaching Medusia with dangerous intent in its eyes, a short club in its hands.

She is somewhat surprised that it could have got so close without her smelling it.*

[Edward Deal]

"ARRRRFGREE."

*The Feutres of Tom blure and disintergrate like powder and the face of H.O.Nesty is reveald.*

"Oh no, no, no please don't kill me pleses."

*The look of shere terror in his eye's is genuin but still there seems to be a fliker of confidence. As he strugales to get loose his left hand is un-seen by anyone lossaning a pouch on his bealt.*

[Ursula]

(OOC: The Pegafoal has concealed itself and cannot be seen, so unless it has suddenly reappeared, the goblin can;t be sneaking up on it)

*With a growl, Ursula drops Deal*

"This is your last warning. The Pegathor and her foal are under my protection, if you mean them harm then I will most certainly harm YOU. Now leave this place!"

[Visage]

[OOC: Sorry, have altered post to suit!]

*The goblin draws closer to Medusia, and she starts to whinney in much more agitation than would be expected from such a small threat...*

[Ursula]

*Trurning her attention from Nesty, Ursula growls as she sees the approaching goblin. Transrorming back into Crinos, she lunges at the goblin, her claws swiping for its midriff with every intention of tearing it in half*

[Edward Deal]

*Nesty stagers to his feet.*

"I'll be seeing you Miss Ursula. BUT YOU WON'T BE SEEING ME."

*Nesty Drops the pouch and covers his eyes. It explodes on impact and spewse Darkness Powder in to Ursula and the Pegathors faces.*

[Visage]

[OOC: This happens just before Tom unleashes the darkness powder]

*As Ursula lunges for it, the goblin grabs her wrist, digging its fingers into her fur. She feels a sudden queasy weakness, as though its touch was poisonous. This is not enough to stop the force of her blow, which flings the goblin's body into the nearby trees, but may be enough to disorient her before Nesty's attack*

[Ursula]

*As the darkness poweder engulfs her, Ursula lets out a ferocious bellowing roar, lasing out blindly at Nesty. However, unfortunately for both Nesty and the mysterious goblin, Guhral have poor sight in Crinos at the best of times, and rely much more heavily on the senses of smell and hearing.

Ursula's olfactory and aural senses sharpen as she loses her vision, effectively providing her with a scent map of the clearing... fortunately for Nesty the overpowering reek of goblin is much stronger than human scent. Standing in front of Medusia, Ursula roars again, her head swaying from side to side as she scents the air, her ears picking up teven the slightest sounds*

[Visage]

*Answering Ursula's roar, another roar comes from the forest, almost an echo of the first*

[Ursula]

*Ursula's hearing pinpoints the exact location of the roar, though she is slightly troubled by its familiarity. However, she stands her ground in front of Medusia, and snarls defiantly*
