Drellos was no stranger to mountains or snow, a well traveled wayward ranger, though the last time he'd ventured so far into the mountains he hadn't had Shaala to accompany him. As the cold winds whipped at his cloak so too did they bite at his cheeks. His panther seemed to be enjoying his new company, for the most part, but more so enjoying pouncing through the snow and chasing off wildlife. Of course when they reached the site of the massacre the mood quickly changed even for Shaala.<br/><br/>Such a violence scene it was, the carcasses of sheep strewn about as though the play things for a wild beast of some sort, worst of all the boy amidst the chaos. How brutal his end must have been. Surely freezing to death would have been of much greater comfort. Yet this was clearly not the case. It was then the snow erupted beneath them, massive beasts taking up positions to surround them, ominously and unmoving. The moment they'd crashed up through the snow and before the disturbed white blanket had even resettled his knees bent, a durable arrow left his quiver, and the string of his bow had been nocked and pulled back. Though he heard the words of his companion, taking note of their defensive postures, he took it upon himself to act according to his own assessment as he scanned the beasts. "These are no friends of ours" He uttered as his fingers slipped from the string of his bow and he released a durable arrow toward the chest of the foe nearest to him. Shaala crouched at his side. "Best we clear a path unless we favor being surrounded." He finished as he loosed the arrow, whether it hit the mark or not. There would be time for apologies later.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Nature Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2017-09-08 22:02:09, Endwell (uid: 62091) rolls: 1d20k1 Result: 16 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=107063) +9 = 25</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Action: Attack</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2017-09-09 20:41:29, Endwell (uid: 62091) rolls: 1d20k1 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=107103) +10 = 14</div></div>
