Reliat's soft deep voice quieted the steeds that were up higher than they normally would have been. He turned his attention back to the cleric, Sassy. He couldn't help smiling at her, she was brave to have cast the light spell down amongst the hounds. Though he had an inkling that these were no simple beasts of his forest, but something dreadful and unnatural to him, Rel remained cautious..<br/><br/>The goats seemed more at peace, and he laid hands on the horses as he sang a quiet song to calm them and insure their safety. Of course the faint smell of brimstone wafting up from down below on the breeze made it a bit more difficult. He longed to slip down and let fly a few arrows to thin out the small pack of these damned beasts, but he also knew such a strategy would only excite  them, and make them more dangerous.<br/><br/>Morning came and they moved away towards the mist, Rel ever watchful for a reappearance of the hounds or anything else that might raise it's ugly head in a threatening manner. The tall black stallion he rode seemed at ease with the ranger on his back, and Rel hoped that the horse would prove his mettle in combat if it should arise.<br/><br/>The ranger found his gaze slipping towards the priest on occasion, and tried to force her from his mind. Those kind of thoughts would only distract him, and the last thing the party needed was a distraction to one who protected them. Still, she did have nice eyes, and a gentle smile, he thought.
