I do in fact. And that would actually work rather well. One of my cats tries to assassinate us on a regular basis by jumping off of book shelves and ladders.
@Jangel13 If such a path exists/opens up I would like to pursue being something like an ambush predator. I rather liked having him pounce down onto the spider.
He could still feel his heart pounding away in his chest even after Nyma had struck the final blow against the spider that had been vexing them. While he had faith in his luck, it had held fast throughout the rest of the battle after all, it still was quite an experience to leap onto the back of the critter to keep it from squirming away. Despite the stillness of the deceased spider beneath him, the muscles in his arms remained clenched. It wasn’t until Nyma began to drag him off that he finally relaxed.
The distance between them was not great enough for her whispered words to go unnoticed by Barth, but he didn’t respond to them in anyway. He held no judgement for what God or Goddess she dedicated herself to. If she found comfort or strength within the shroud of the Goddess of Death then that was her choice. Even after the Elder Goblin had spoken about the three main deities he did not find himself drawn to any of them. He respected their power and the positions they held, but not enough to worship any of them.
Barth decided it would be best to leave Nyma to her prayers for the time being and figured it would be a good time to try out the new ability he knew he possessed after aiding in the slaying of the spider. Moving towards the tree that he had scaled just moments ago he pointed the fingers of his right hand toward it, willing the silk strands to launch out toward it. Rather than precision aim, he found that the strands flew out in a haphazard manner. It was more of a spray than anything else. He stopped the threads shortly after starting them, the trunk of the tree covered in random spots by the silk.
His attention was drawn back to Nyma as she addressed him, which in turn caused him to laugh. ”You did most of the heavy lifting! I was just going with the flow. Glad I decided to jump on it though, who knows how much longer we would have been fighting it if it scampered off again. With the high of the kill slowly waning he finally took notice of the two larger creatures that had been apparently watching them. As the two strangers began their approach he responded to Nyma once more. ”I may not be strong enough to get my spear back, but perhaps one of them will be. Provided they are friendlier than the pale one looks to be.”
Barth had no issue with Nyma taking the lead in their introductions. He had largely followed her thus far and there was no reason to raise havoc now. While she addressed the pale one, now known to be Gird, Barth focused his attention on examining the two. The female looked vaguely similar to the Goblins, though larger. Gird on the other hand bared only the slightest resemblance to them.
For the first time being addressed by Gird, though it had been a blanket statement, Barth tilted his head back to meet the larger male’s eyes. ”I have no issue joining up with you guys, there are safety in numbers after all. However I do not worship the Goddess of Death, but I have no issue with the fact that you three do.”
His eyes widened when Gird tossed him the horn that had been hanging from the Hobgoblin’s waist. Barth managed to snatch it out of the air before securing it to his waist in a similar fashion that Gird himself had been wearing it. ”Thank you for this gift, regardless of how temporary it maybe.” He took a moment to glance at Nyma, though they hadn’t spent long together he had the feeling that she would want to join up with these two even more than him. ”Before we set out is there any chance either of you could recover my spear from over there? I am not strong enough to break through the webbing blocking the path easily, it would eat away at time that could be spent hunting.”
EXP:
Inventory: -Wooden walking stick/staff (in Cave) -Rudimentary Spear -Alpha Rabbit Horn on a Vine
Acquired Skills: -Knowledge Of The 3: Knowing the names of the god and goddesses of the world they live in they can now properly worship them.
***God of light Ramos he is the god of light and he gives us the very sun we see during the day he is purity itself and as such is mostly worshiped by most creatures in one form or another.
***Duvelna she is the goddess of death and night. She is death itself and must be respected if not feared.
***Shirila the goddess of the earth as she is the embodiment of the earth and life itself, she is also known as the eternal mother.
-Fairy Knowledge: Now knows of the fairies (and nymphs) that inhabit the forest around him
-Silk Spinning: He is now able to create silk from his fingertips. Eventually he will be able to use this ability to create traps and snares with ease, but for the time being he has very little control over the gift. It is more akin to spray and pray, severely lacking in finesse.
