Sweet William tries to spot one of them. If he does, never the defensive sort, he will charge, axe swinging.

Flynn picks up on SW's meaning almost immediately and begins to play a lively, but foreboding piece.??
"They came from the shadows; they came from the trees.
Sometimes in singles, sometimes in threes

But we beat them so soundly, we turned the around..."
Pleased with his ad hoc composition Flynn let out a slight chuckle giving the big half-orc a sly wink.
When she sees William, and then hears what he says to Flynn, she'll stretch, sheath her short sword, and pull out two arrows

She took a sip from her waterskin, and nearly spits out her drink when she was informed that they were surrounded! Was it going to be those tiny terrors with the dart guns?
Can she see of those who are surrounding them? Hear anything? Smell anything?

The terrain along the river is treacherous, with tangling vines and slippery rocks making progress slow and cumbersome. Gnarled roots seem to reach out and grab you by the ankles attempting
to trip you into the rushing waters.??The river¡¯s surface is turbulent and dotted with occasional rapids and submerged rocks that threaten to sweep you away if you fall in.
But the air is cooler by the running water and it¡¯s fresh to drink which makes the journey relatively somewhat more comfortable. At least until the mosquitoes and other biting creatures launch
their assaults, leaving itchy welts in their wake.?Navigating your way along the riverbank, forging through the mud and tangled vegetation demands careful balance and agility to stay upright.?
Hacking away at stubborn foliage with your weapons and using your hands to push aside dense clusters of leaves, the group relies on?°ä±ð°ù¾±²Ô²¹¡¯²õ?instincts,
searching for subtle clues to the safest path. You must remain vigilant, as the dense foliage could conceal predators or other threats. Crocodiles occasionally float silently along next to you and once, only momentarily, the Ranger thought she spotted a large
ape but if so it stayed away.
As the river approaches a bend, the Dragonborn spies a cluster of three trees once struck and burned by lightning. It takes a few moments but she does eventually find a slender game trail
heading southeast and is confident you are on the right path.

Flynn plays a tune whilst Cerina readies a pair of arrows.
Then the Barbarian sees a shadow shift in the trees and hurls himself up to grab a branch and swing his feet up and over. He leaps through the air, axe arcing through the leaves-
The hoots and howls of a dozen simian goblinoids suddenly sound all about and fist sized rocks begin to rain down.
Brother Ashley gets hit in the shoulder, Cerina and
Flynn each get hit in the back, but?Tabby deftly dodges the incoming inundation.
Sweet William gets hit twice in the chest but ignores the ache, bringing his blade to bear against one of the small creatures, cleaving and dropping it in one hit.
The creatures quickly scatter, still whooping and screeching as they fade into the shadows.
The body falls to the ground near the Gnome. It¡¯s about 3?ft tall with gold,?-like eyes and green skin thinly covered in coarse, black hair. Its knuckles are scuffed and scarred with
callouses.
¡°The Tasloi are no threat to you,¡± a female voice calls in common from about fifty yards away. An instant later a yellow robed, hooded figure steps out of a tree and touches
Flynn, her healing magic relieving the pain from his back.
¡°Sure seemed like a threat to me,¡± Brother Ashley mutters, rubbing his bruised shoulder.
Without lowering her cowl, the woman kneels by the fallen body and asks, ¡°Who are you to kill them in their home?¡± She touches the downed goblinoid and its eyes flutter and blink. It shrieks loudly, rolls over and scampers off, disappearing

"Oh geez!", Tabby yelped as the nasty little guys threw rocks at them! How rude!
Thankfully, she was able to avoid the stones.
She could not figure out why a creature would see Sweet William and throw a rock at him! He could eat those rocks! And that would make him mad, which was an instant death sentence!
Thankfully, the battle ended as quickly as it started.
"Wow, you are all very pretty.", she gasped. The monk spent nearly her entire life meeting only one Tabaxi, now it seemed they were everywhere!
"I am mostly known as Tabby, but my birth name is 'Forever Running'. And like my very handsome bard friend said, we seek a druid named
³§³ó¡¯°ì³Ü³Ü±ô." She felt so underdressed! She tossed on her old clothes since it was so freaking hot and humid, but now she met a small group of very well-dressed members of her kind. ho-boy.She must look like a little raggamuffin!
She glanced back at her dragon-born companion, "I have no idea. It would be nice to have Tabaxi family."

Tabby smiled, "What my good and very pretty dragonborn lady just asked. We seek out kidnapped lion kind and we were asked to ask you...two...to join us on this most heroic and fuzzy quest.". Oh, how she didn't want the dog men to be the baddies in this!? Dogs were good people, and she REALLY wanted to meet a puppy girl or boy.
OOC: Does Tabby see anything unusual about these Tabaxi? She finds it odd that the jaguar guy didn't say there were two of these..

North watches in wonder. He quietly observes the interactions at hand and wonders why this group of natives seem so separated from the despairs the lion tribe is currently experiencing.
Based off the body language of his companions, North is a little on edge. He wiggles his fingers down by his hips in a classic quick-draw fashion, ready to chain lightning these two cats, or their rock throwing goonies, into jungle dust.

Perhaps it is from Norths' previous experience of transforming into a Tabaxi creature himself, but the little gnome starts feeling awfully playful once the cat crew starts meowing at each other. He prances on over and starts to rub up on their legs. He looks up at them with big Gnome-Cat eyes and says "Meow!" and then looks over a Tabby and then back to the two who may be her cousins.
"You all look so similar." he purrs "You must be cut from the same cloth, the good cloth that is - the good Tabby cloth." He sits down next to them and begins to knead their kitty butts and plays with their tales.
Little magical whiskers pop out of his cheeks, an illusion no doubt.
Then he rolls on his back and starts repeating words he hears...

Perhaps it is from Norths' previous experience of transforming into a Tabaxi creature himself, but the little gnome starts feeling awfully playful once the cat crew starts meowing at
each other. He prances on over and starts to rub up on their legs. He looks up at them with big Gnome-Cat eyes and says "Meow!" and then looks over a Tabby and then back to the two who may be her cousins.
"You all look so similar." he purrs "You must be cut from the same cloth, the good cloth that is - the good Tabby cloth." He sits down next to them and begins to knead their kitty butts
and plays with their tales.
Little magical whiskers pop out of his cheeks, an illusion no doubt.
Then he rolls on his back and starts repeating words he hears...
"Bomb-----Bastic! Bomba-stic! Bommmmmmmbastic!" he continues to roll around.
"If the?leonin can't find the spear, how are we supposed to?"

Tabby frowned. She wasn't sure what they were going to do. Was it simple? Find the spear, stick the spear into the snake and the lion people were free? This must be a massive snake to have napped too many of the lion folk.
And why did it have to be snakes? "Mister North!". She scurried over to the strange gnome and tried to 'shoo' him away from the druids. "I'm sorry, he is a very powerful wizard, and I have been told, the more skilled a wizard becomes, the more, er. eccentric one becomes.". Hopefully, her mighty 'shoo's would scare him away for the moment. She paused for a moment and realized he never tried to grab her butt! How insulting! She wished she had a scroll she could roll up and smack him on the snout! "Please don't be insulted, I'm sure he smells other gnomes..."

Cerina shakes her head and semi-snappishly says to North, "Would you knock that off before they turn you into a frog and feed you to the Naga. And as to finding this spear, between you and Flynn, you might be able to suss out with magic as to its location, unless these two nice druidesses can give us some insight."
