"Well, I don't know about all of you but this fine lady here..." Speaking up loudly and smirking, the huntsman Bori gestured over towards Nava with one of his calloused hands. "...toldme you wanted to see the ambush site, huh? Well, she came to the right man, lets get going and I'll take you along the road. The royal carriage will only come along one path, if it arrives to the gates it did. No other routes make sense after all, those royalty don't really like going too close to pig-farms after all, with the smell and all." Grinning widely, he then nod his head again, and slapped his hands to his thighs.<br/><br/>"Now, just tell me when you're ready and we'll get going."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The characters are free to finish up with what they wished to do here, but seeing as the game is likely to end up waiting for everyone to say 'ok' and 'ready' (which may take longer than it would at a tabletop game afterall) I'm going to enter the next section below.</div></div><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>The short ride certainly didn't take that long. The huntman had taken a horse from the baron's stables, and suggested anyone else needing one do so as well. The ride brought them past the plains to a small copse of trees, sparse wood that had once in the distant past been a great forest. It had also been a great source of lumber for countless years, but with the fields growing and the treeline pushed back, the woods were far less intimidating these days.<br/><br/>Though as Bori guided his horse to the road and dismounted swiftly the illusion of peace was quickly shattered. Behind a bend in the road where the carriage had been forced to slow down a pair of black horses lay dead on the roadsides, and a total of four guards wearing breastplates had collapsed. Arrows stuck out from their necks,sides, and backs. One of the soldiers had a deep cut in teh middle ofthe armor, the metal struck into the wound by an edged weapon there.<br/><br/>However, as Bori approached the site there was a loud growl nearby, and a pair of wolves stepped out in the open from behind one of the dead horses. Bloody jaws and sharp teeth showed to the group, but as if that wasn't bad enough, four more stepped out from the forestline, with equally bloody jaws showing. Following the six well-fed, savage wolves was a larger, more vicious looking hound that looked big enough to wrestle with a bear. Its hide was rough and its body bulging with muscles, its jaws crimson with fresh blood as well, its golden eyes sizing up Bori and the others.<br/><br/>"Damn. I had hoped the hounds would not have been around. Those things can cause trouble, unless one of you knows how to freak them out and drive them off."
