Captain Steiner watches Arfur’s posing and strutting with a deadpan look on his face. He glances at Griff and says” You’re help is most welcome servant of Vorax. You’ll prevent me from dividing my forces and we should be in a much stronger position.” After the Gnome who introduces himself as Ryubi Jingles walks up and offers his help, the Captain points to the other two and says” You’re with them Mr. Jingles. You’re help is welcome, and Rho appreciates your assistance. I never turn away a good scout.”
As the rapier wielding Arfur and the other two companions head off for Arin’s cabin. Captain Steiner looks at two of his men putting together gear and says” Did that guy say his name was “Doofas?” He shakes his head with a wide grin and heads back to his office to make preparations, and the two men nearly fall to the ground laughing. The Captain was not known for making jokes… his humor was usually rather limited.

Several hours later, the three approach the cabin. Griff was very conscious of the fact that there seemed be very little sign of game on the game trails. It felt as if the forest was holding its breath… or perhaps that was just his nerves. Arfur is the first to spot the man in green exiting the cabin. Ryubi’s gaze is drawn to all of the large animal tracks in the area and he is perplexed. He has no doubt they are wolf tracks… but based on the length, width, and depth, the creature would be triple the size of any Worg he had ever seen. The tracks measure over 18 inches from heel to toe. The angles and stride also seem to indicate some were bi-pedal.

After his short whispered prayers, the man in green picked up the book… old, cracked leather rough on his fingertips. As the book was slipped into a pouch strapped to his body. His mind lingered briefly on the ironies. A quick and cursory search of the rest of the cabin found nothing except the expected utensils and properties one would expect in a homestead. As he exited the cabin he noted it was still quiet in the surrounding forest.
