Setting a trap >> Always on alert /// Day 0 // Morning
Gird nodded to Luz and gave her a smile. He began to work with the webs he created from his fingers the silly string like substance flowed uncontrollably at first but the hobgoblin was quickly able to at least control how fast it moved from his hands. He didn’t feel like the webs would run out, he didn’t feel some strange reservoir he was draining from. Gird was sure this was going to pull from his strength or hunger eventually but for now he felt no ill effects.
Globing up a bit of the web high up on a tree he used this as an anchor wrapping the web tightly around the tree once without tearing the web and moved to the next tree slowly wrapping the web slightly lower. He was sure to weave two to three sticks in between each gap to strengthen it. He moved the web strands lower each time until each gap had three to four strands through it.
Aside from stopping and remaining alert, often stopping mid strand and looking, listening, and smelling for danger. Gird was sure to keep quiet and diligently work at setting up the walls, changing its direction or changing how high or low it was off the ground. Randomizing the big trap to be as confusing as possible. He was sure that the bats wouldn’t think to have to deal with these issues unless they ventured into the spider infested forest. At least here they could bring one aspect of the spiders to them.
It was going rather smooth so far, he wondered if it was because of the devils luck they acquired some time ago. Either way he was almost half way finished with the long trap and was beginning to feel hungry again. At the very least he knew what spending all this web did do him, but he was getting better at using it.
“Luz.” He whispered to his friend nearby, she had been doing a marvelous job at getting the sticks he needed for this. “I’m starting to get hungry but I think I can finish the rest of this with some energy left over. I will help you draw them in and trap as many as we can but I might pass out after, unless we run into a problem.” Gird was still whispering to her and looking around. “I know it’s dangerous and quite possibly deadly if we make a mistake, but I feel the closer I am to death the closer I am to the goddess.” He wanted to make sure that she knew why he was doing this and then continued onto making the rest of the corral.
Summary:@Jangel13Gird began using his web ability to start making the walls in randomized configurations to possibly aid with disorientating his prey. Gird is starting to feel hungry again after using the web for so long but is keeping alert and pausing occasionally to make sure there is no danger nearby. He did whisper to Luz@demonspade64 about why he wanted to help bait the bats into the trap even if he felt tired, saying it made him feel closer to death and the goddess before continuing.

Gird watched the bats carefully, there were many more of them then he thought there would be. On top of that the forest floor was a bit more open with some smaller trees but mostly the taller trees these bats where sleeping in. since the sunlight doesn’t reach the ground floor the plants didn’t grow as well. Only a few small ferns and sporadic large and small tree limbs dotted about.
Luz was quick to find him, at least she wasn’t being too loud. Gird knew they couldn’t take on the swarm with just the two of them head on they had to be smart about it. The hobgoblin didn’t say anything to her right away instead he was slowly looking around. Motioning her to follow the pale hobgoblin slunk back the way he came quietly trying his best not to awaken the swarm. He had an idea but it would take some prep work, but the payouts could be worth it.
Assuming that Luz had followed him back to a safe distance he still spoke in a hushed tone. “I have an idea but we will need some of these sticks two or three our height or more placed between these trees between us and the edge of the forest.” His plan was going to be tricky and dangerous for sure, “we will use the silk I can create, wrap it around the trees and the sticks. Create a sticky wall on both sides for them to get trapped in. the closer to the edge of the forest we get the narrower the passage until it’s just one tree length apart.” He paused for a moment to check their surroundings, “we will take the four best sticks we can find and weave them together and leave it laying just past the tree line so we can use it as a net to catch more of them. I’ll try to make a few more connections higher up the trees near the end as well.”
With a sigh he gave her a half smile, “don’t praise me yet because after we set it up there is one last thing we need to do. In order to spring the trap we need to piss them off. By throwing sticks or stones get them to chase us, then we get to figure out which one of us is faster like when we were born.” He hoped his counterpart was following along, if they did this and it worked they could come back with quite the haul and on top of that he already knew what this silk was capable of. He knew he couldn’t control it very well but he didn’t have to if he was just anchoring it around the tree by wrapping it around then weaving it through the trees and sticks at varying height’s. "if you agree then we need to get started just be quiet about it."
Summery:@Jangel13Gird found the bats and observed the vegetation, quietly falling back to tell Luz@demonspade64 his plan of making a spider web corral and net to trap the bats in after pissing them off and getting them to follow them (this was made by an assumption coming from his beast tamer skill to better understand beasts and how they will behave). Also told her how he was going to weave the spider silk in between branches and trees to make the walls stronger and about making a net at the end of the corral.
a plan for the day >> Another adventure /// Day 0 // Morning
Gird watched and listened to the others especially the elder about growing stronger. Some of the others decided on getting an early start on things and already headed out. Some of the others looked like they were going to try team work. At least they looked like they would be ok for now. “ill be sure to bring back some food for you as well elder.” The hobgoblin looked down at the goblin that asked about seeing in the dark. “I have no idea, but they can see in the dark and if the spiders I ate gave me their web. Hopefully I’ll get their sight.” He was being honest he had no idea what he would get from the bats or if he could catch one in the first place.
The hobgoblin was still trying to piece together what he had witnessed earlier with the bright light and the sudden appearance of the strange sword in one of the little ones hands that they created. Was it a spell? Perhaps some kind of rare skill? He hadn’t seen anything like that before in this world so far and no mention of it in the books he was trying to read. Still Gird stepped up to the little one as she was cutting up the bunnies. “Your instincts are sharp, it took the rest of us at least a day to start figuring out how to use all of the parts of these animals. But I will give you two more things. One a warning, with that skill or spell you stand out and will be a target if others know. The second you will get when I return if we are still alive.”
With that he looked back to the others that were still around for a moment and nodded to them. “I’ll be off then. I’ll see you all soon.” Gird left the others to whatever else they had to do and stepped outside. As happy as he might be that they have new members he still felt crowded in that church. Gaining his bearings the hobgoblin only paused once to look at some small mounds of dirt where it looked like one of the others put some berries in the ground. Having a food source close to home was a good idea. If he found some more plants that looked useful or edible he would try to pick them up before coming back.
Quickly and with purpose gird set off towards the north and where he was told bats may reside in the trees.
Summery: Gird talked to the elder @Jangel13 and @SilverPaw, then he spoke to @Crusader Lord and gave her a warning and a promise of something else when they returned. Gird inspected briefly where berries where planted on his way out then headed north towards the bats.
Victor couldn’t help but smile and shake his head when Varis mentioned that even Aaron had trouble at that dinner. He didn’t blame them after all, even the lords and ladies of their houses could be caught off guard by the queen or at times the princesses. Varis did seem rather interested in what he said instead changing the flow of the conversation to double down on Aaron’s shortcomings. Such a strange thought process, making the mage look as if he is dressed better than Varis and put in better care then also going off about everything that is wrong. This word play was tiresome and hard to read or control, at least he knew that Varis was the one in control here manipulating the conversation to how he wanted it to go.
The count continued to go on about the different punishments he has used to try and correct whatever it was that wasn’t right about the boy, “sounds like his ego and pride might be holding him back?” A simple assumption, victor could only guess as to the boy’s upbringing. Victor swirled the blood he was given in his glass and tasted it. The Starag did taste rather good with a bit of a kick to it. It wasn’t the ‘down to earth’ flavors that Salem had. Speaking of he could have sworn that he was missing something. It was rather late in the morning and they were surely going to end soon. The presence of the Starag in the corner cemented this.
Looking back to his glass Victor realized that Salem’s bottle had not been brought out, was this on purpose or did they just forget? The count was sure that they were not going to be enjoying it this evening but how to bring it up? He was sure that if he did Varis would use it in some way probably against Aaron because he has been serving them all night. He knew that there could be repercussions but to what end.
Glancing at the boy for a moment then back to Varis, if he did out the boy without having some tact the others may think that he was too harsh or perhaps not harsh enough. The predicament he found himself in during this little party was strange. He did not know what his actions would do or how it would affect himself or the others. Victor decided that he could probably learn a lot more of this game if he did say something.
“I do have one question. As some of you may know I am not the next in line for the head of my family. In fact, the last time I checked im somewhere between the 15th and the 10th runner up. For that reason, I don’t get many invitations to things like this so if I come off as rude, I apologize. However, I am curious, is it some form of hazing or is it just rude to forget to bring out the bottle of blood that Salem and I brought here tonight?” and now all he had to do was look mildly annoyed and listen to the fallout. This would be a good learning point for both himself and Aaron or at least that’s what Victor was thinking.
