<span style="color: #00FF00">Once inside, it appeared as though everyone else was already awake, aside from the innkeeper. In Lysonna's eyes, it didn't really seem fair to take him along. He was a middle-aged man without much talent in the ways of battle. The Elf maiden couldn't guarantee that the rest of them would be able to protect him at all times.<br/><br/>"Well everyone, I suggest we eat quickly and leave before the sun reaches the high point of the sky," Lysonna said to the others.</span><br/><br/><br/>Skippy had watched the two Elves enter, and he wondered if they had met before their adventure began. He was sitting at the table, and still munching on his acorns. The innkeeper could be heard snoring in another room.<br/><br/>The squirrel Anithrope was gnawing away when the she-Elf spoke. He waited until after he swallowed to speak. "Way ahead of you," Skippy said with a grin, before returning to his morning meal.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Lysonna raised a brow at Skippy. "Well then, I guess Nymeri and I will be going out to forage our food. Anyone else who would like to forage or hunt is welcome to join us. After making your kill though, I'd appreciate it if you didn't eat in front of me." She shivered involuntarily.<br/><br/>"Oh, and watch out for Goblins. They could seemingly appear out of nowhere in this forest." Lysonna added as an after thought. "Those little critters are very odd, they seem to worship and follow whoever they deem is the strongest amongst them. I doubt they'd be much use to us though."</span><br/><br/>Skippy blinked and tilted his head to the side at the mention of Goblins. "I went alone last night to gather these acorns, and I didn't see any."<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">"Then you were lucky. There are many bands of them running around this forest, which is how it got its name."</span><br/><br/>"Hmm, interesting. I've never seen a goblin before." Skippy said, obviously interested in the idea. "This is great! I've met a Dragon and there's a good possibility I'll see Goblins before we reach Almeria!"<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Lysonna raised a brow again, thinking how strange Anithropes were. She was beginning to wonder why her race had allied themselves with theirs as they seemed very very different. "Well, let's go Nymeri, and anyone else who wishes to join us. Let's go eat."</span>
