*As the two of them went towards the area of the last sighting of the griffin they noticed scratch marks, and a few large black and white feathers. Surely the beast had been through here recently, this also wasnt a normal trail, no it was just the forest thick brush and thorns that occasionally snagged on their clothing, but it wasnt that bad as the thorns vines could be stepped on to push them out of the way as they walked.*
Richard
"Ugh, dammit. Thorns of course my elegant robes are getting absolutly ruined!" *He would smack the thorns with his elegant staff for dare ruining his robes* "Unlike you I do care much for my outfit. YES I know that its part of the fun of doing quests, I knew you were about to say that." 

*He would summon his hawk and pat his head*
Jamie
*The further they treaded into the forest, they quieter Terrel became. His sword would sit unsheathed in his hand as he would find himself using it to help cut and push away the thorns that sought need to make the journey any harder than it already was. With the large feathers coming into view, that was evident enough that they were getting close. Turning back towards Alek he would bring a finger to his mouth as if to signify for him to stay quiet before he would eventually continue through the thicket.*
Angela
"Ouch. Where the hell am I? Damn it I've been gone for to long. This is the third time I've gotten lost already." *Kibaru would mumble this to himself. He did his best to avoid the thorns, even though the damage they cause quickly faded, it still didn't hurt less and with his attire offering little protection.*

*He would be far enough not to be heard talking to himself, but the others would be able to her him moving through the area. He wasn't discreet considering he had no idea of the danger the other two were after. He would be slashing at the vegetation and his tails would be as high in the air as possible, trying to avoid his tails getting ruined by all of this*
Sandra
*As alek and terrel carved and bashed a pathway through the brush and thorns they heard something moving fairly far behind them, it sounded like someone else was pushing through the thorns. Perhaps another hunter for the griffin was out searching aswell.*

*The air in the forest was oddly humid and muggy, everyone couldnt help but be somewhat covered in sweat as they travelled. All those robes might have made aleks travel through these woods alot harder then it needed to be, while terrels outfit made his back sweat like a pig due to the cape. While kibarus outfit made the high humidity bearable, the lack of a shirt made all the difference.*
Richard
"Hey, I think theres someone around here." *He would take a few steps back toward Terrel, staffs crystal on the top of it glowing lightly. Thankfully his long robes despite making him hot would protect his bare skin from the sharp thorns due to all of the layers*

"Hmm... It would always help to get a fellow to help in this type of quest, more eyes and all... Permission to get there attention?"
Jamie
*Terrel came to a stop, narrowing his gaze at the notion of someone else traveling along with the noise they could be making. They had already come this far without much interruption besides a few thorns and the odd humidity of the day which luckily enough for Terrel, he had become resistant to the heat with clothing he often worn. The Pig Elf turned to Alek as he asked if they could get their attention to have them join along.*"They could also just be a random traveler who is completely unaware of the animal around here, like how the Griffin should be to our presence ."

*Terrel stated is hushed tone to emphasize the point that the last thing they'd need is a Lion Eagle on their back from trying to get a random passerby's attention. Without them knowing exactly where the Griffin was, there was a chance of them getting attacked out of nowhere. After all, they were in its habitat and knew little to nothing of the area.*
Angela
*Kibaru would give a few sniffs* "Terrel?" *He looked up and his ears twitched as he got a faint wiff of the pig man he had not met that long ago. He would start going to them, continuing to them with his noisy travel*
Richard
"Hm, good points." *He would say as he takes some gulps from his canteen. He does summon his summoned hawk arroe.* "Alright buddy, I need you to scout for people or another giant bird got it?" 

*The birb nods* "Alright go get em." *He would throw the bird like a football as it takes its flight and glides around the forest. Using its very good vision it would spot Kibaru and start circling above its location.*
Jamie
*Terrel watched as Alek sent off the bird to go search around, soon coming to see it circling over a specific area.*"Well I guess we either found ourselves a crazy lion bird or an equally as crazy traveler. Which with the noise it's making can be either..."*He uttered before following after the bird towards the gradually increasing noise.*
Angela
*Eventually Kibaru dim shining blue tails and mask would come into vision as he did* "Hey Terrel. Short time no see, huh"
Richard
"Terrel, how do you keep meeting these strange people! First aize now uh this... Uh... What are you? Sorry but I dont have the greatest knowledge on all the species types the memory from that book series left my head a while ago." *He would scratch the back of his neck as he would look up and let out a low whistle to signal his hawk to drop onto his arm, he gives it some scritches on the top of its head, it leans into them contented.*
Jamie
*With Kibaru coming into view, Terrel would find himself met with a feeling of surprise though not necessarily the good kind seeing as they were in the middle of a predator's habitat.*"Would have preferred longer, but seems like you couldn't help hunting me down."*The Pig jested with a hint of urgency in his voice as his gaze traveled to the area they were in.*"Speaking of hunting, you wouldn't happen to see an oversized bird around here would you...?"*With Alek asking who Kibaru was, Terrel would say:*"This is Okami, a wolf I randomly met in the forest not too long ago..."
Angela
"Okami. An Okamimi. Don't mind the mask, just don't want to blind you all with my beauty. Only saw one bird and it seems to be your friends. What bird is it?"
Richard
*He would present the quest paper showing an illustration of the said bird. A hippogriph, a big bird with an owl head, owl wings and a lion body! Its rumored its eggs are the most tasty thing of all. Capture of one, or simply its corpse is very very wanted for both study, and for its nest to be... Unatended if it layed a clutch* 

"This, oh and this lovly is one of my summons. Arroe! Say hi Arroe!" 
*It would inch down its arm and bob its head up and down excitedly* "Thats... Thats the wrong command. I said say, H.E.L.L.O" 

Arroe: ". . . .HELoow." *Then it continues bobbing its head up and down excitedly, birbs*
Jamie
"I'm already blinded, but it's not from beauty."*Terrel retorted before he would glance over at Alek's bird as it began to speak. Part of him wondered if he could teach the animal other phrases while Alek wasn't looking, though now wasn't the time for it. Turning back to Kibaru, he'd say:*"We've seen a lot of giant feathers around here so if you didn't see it, I figured you'd might as well smell it from a mile away."
