<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/M5bomIF.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jasper Hulfort (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333483.msg15884537#msg15884537)<br/><strong>Race and Occupation:</strong>Human Lumberjack | Woodworker<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time:</strong>Farmlands | Prior to Beginning of Castalin - Mid-Morning<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Closed, Merry<br/><strong>Extra:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>"I could tell. Usually I go to the Vine and Horn Inn every day and it tends to be packed with adventurers old and new. Sometimes I tend to eavesdrop on them to pick up some adventuring basics in the hopes that one day, I can be an adventurer too. I tried asking one for tips once, and all he said was 'Git gud'... Apparently spelled exactly like that. He had experience under his belt but I couldn't help but wonder about his  sense of speech." Jasper shrugged. He could sympathize with Merry's thoughts, about how none of them seemed to stay around for long. Part of him wished he got seemed chance to talk to more of them before they left.<br/><br/>On the plus side, his mood had lifted considerably when the Vulpi accepted his offer to hang out. "Really!? I meam, cool, that's pretty cool. Well, then I'll worry about where we go next after we get over this little hurdle. The little guy still seems unaware, so now is probably our best bet..." He trailed off, scanning the immediate area for a way to approach. "That book sounds a little too complicated for<em>me</em>, let alone a goblin... Then again, I guess I'm just a forest bumpkin, hahah." He laughed with innocent delight, before he watched Merry shift and run into the grass.<br/><br/>"Oh, good idea, we can flank!" He nodded, deciding to approach from the left, Wooden Hatchets in hand. He took large but quiet strides, wanting to clear the distance between him and the Goblin before he could get to the water... Something seemed to alert him and peer to the right, but it was perfect timing as Jasper could emerge like a threatening shadow from the grass to the left, raising his Hatchets like an executioner waiting to behead a victim. By the time the Goblin turned back around around realized what happened, he heard only one sound...<br/><br/><strong>*BONK!*</strong><br/><br/>... Bonk. With that sound, came the immediate absence of anything resembling consciousness from the Goblin as a large knot formed on his head, and a triumphant-looking Jasper posing with his Hatchets. "Ha-HAH! Got him! That was great timing, Merry!" Jasper cheered, expecting to hear the Vulpi woman speak... But there was no sound in the moment. "... Ah, Merry? Helloooo...?" He called out, unaware the vixen had continued to go straight during her charge and didn't properly turn to flank the Goblin like she probably intended to... Or at least how Jasper believed she intended to move.<br/><br/>"... Wait, did she just do that on purpose? Did I just get left behind for the second time in a week?" he asked himself quietly, folding his arms.
