five bucks they win any in?

Remember I'm the guy who writes what the walkers and the golems do so... 

[stabbymcstabstab]

i know but its made out of clay right? i know whos going to die right way

[Dwarmin]

Tak'mir scuttles back to the safety of the fungal forest, allowing the marching Spider-Elves to pass him by...in the meantime, he fills his thermos with water, keeping a wary eye on the angler, which does the same to him, probably hoping he'll do something dumb like fall in the lake.

*some time passes*

He patiently waits till the army is gone, then pokes his head out. All clear, for now!

Home is close-but which way?! Road, or Darkhollows?

The Spider-Elves would surely have cleared out anything they found on the road, but there may still be stragglers...he goes over his options one last time.

Travelling along the road would be the safest route, but he would be sure to run into someone-or something, since lots of big nasties prowl the trade routes for loot and food. Worst of all, the routes don't have many side tunnels or natural cover. It'd be tough to hide or run away if he did encounter anything.

The only other option is to travel through the DarkHollows-a maze of cramped caverns only the Kobold race can travel through. He'd be safe...except from other kobolds...and monsters...it would take longer though, but Tak'mir knows it like the back of his hand-at least, that's what he tells the Kobold lasses when he's bragging. No one really knows the DarkHollows-it's an evil place, if the Shamans are to be believed. Tak'mir isn't even sure what path he used to get through before-the Darkhollows seems to change over time, and the only Kobolds who actually live inside are totally insane, even by his races standards.

the road use some of our loot to distract anything big and mean

[Vent]

Tak'mir shall take the path of adventure, and travel through the Darkhollows. It may not be safe, and the chance of getting lost is considerable, and it will take longer, but consider the reaction of all the Kobold ladies back home when they find out you traveled through it successfully.

[stabbymcstabstab]

how about fighting of a whole spider-elf army that was millions in numbers we cant tell that story lost or dead

[Zako]

Hmmm... both are viable choices, but I think I will have to go with the road. If the spider elves got any things that were left behind, we could loot them! Also, try to find a way to camoflauge yourself with the walls. Rub dirt in your fur, etc.

[stabbymcstabstab]

heres better options: run fast V. run VERY fast

[Zako]

Yes, but run which way? That's the question here.

[stabbymcstabstab]

the way we didnt come from of course

[Ochita]

Yeah, go with the road.

[ashton1993]

toad

EDIT: dammit road, not toad! but that too 

[Dwarmin]

Tak'mir finally decides to take the road. Surely, whatever is waiting for him in the DarkHollows is worse than what awaits on the path head. Before he left, he swung his thin blanket over his back like a cloak, and covered it in mud, dirt and stone. It would help him avoid detection, for sure

Lost Thin Blanket
Crafted: Makeshift Camoflage Cloak (Cave)

Time to get a move on!

*time passes*

Along the way, the Kobold finds some dropped items-A pretty earring made of adamantine, a cast away armored greave, and a half loaf of some weird bread.

Got pretty Earring
Got Spider-Elf Greave
Got Grey Bread...?

Tak'mir got almost half the way to his village when he saw trouble up ahead. Diving under his cloak, he creeped up and saw the source of the commotion-a fight!

It was a three way battle between four Goblin bandits, a big hairy troll, and two axe wielding Spider-Elves guarding a carriage with a broken wheel. It looked fancy-there was probably some loot inside, which was what had drawn everyone.

A quick look over the battle shows at least seven dead Goblins, and two dead trolls. The Spider-Elves are fighting smart, picking off the Goblins, while the remaining Goblins are busy trying to overwhelm the final troll.

Tak'mir is not used to any of them, but he could help out a side-a sneak attack on one could shift the battle in someones favor.
His tribe could use more friends these days-and if he helps them, they might help him in return! All of them are heavily wounded, and none of them have noticed him.

Or he could wait till they all kill each other...but then he'd have to fight whoevers left then to get past or wait till they leave, and if they find he was here and didn't help them, it could get messy.

So, will he help the Troll, Goblins, or Spider-Elves? Or wait till the whole mess sorts itself out?

Maybe he could try and sneak past...but then he wouldn't get any loot!

Could Tak'mir sneak into the carriage and take out a few items then carry on, or too risky?
