Although you are unable to pull yourself up, you manage to get your head on the pit's edge. From there, you see a bunch of brown scaled creatures, armed with bows and clubs, make their way to the pit you've fallen in, zigzagging up the slope. They kinda look like Princess Twilight's pet, although they have smaller eyes, look slightly more fearsome, and not as cute. They are poorly dressed in dirty salvaged rags and large leaves and vines from the forest. They aren't too far away, and as they see your head and mane, the ones with bows start to prime them, while one of the ones with clubs call out "No move! No move!"

"Alright I'll stop moving." Sparks Stops trying to pull himself up and just rests his head on the edge. "I'll just tell you this now we mean you no harm we're just looking for a way to clean the forest's water. Heck we didn't even know any er dragons you are dragons right lived here."

"Yeah, just trying to help the area. Seen any mushrooms around?" Necrar asks, looking around to see if there's any around.

Only to be angered once again, snarling and redrawing their weapons. One of the creatures grabs one of the longer vines from the cave walls, and throws it at Sparks. The creature which talked before barks out "Move! Follow!"

You see no Blackback Mushrooms around...

You feel fine...

In the distance, you can hear the rustling of bushes, a sound which is heading your way, and accompanied by the growling of Timberwolves. And there's quite a number of them...

Sparks grabs the vine in his mouth and uses it and his hoof to pull himself and Zippy up over the ledge. "Thanks for that. Now you're going to take us to speak with your leader right?" When the leader of the group starts moving Sparks follows.

"Well then," Aces says, apropos of nothing noticed by anypony else there. "Y'all migh' wan' to ge' behind me in a momen' here." He couched low. "We go' timberwolves."

Fury of the Tempest Thu Apr 25, 2013 5:42 pm

"Great, more of them." Storm Blade muttered as he looked around, taking stock of the situation. "Not good, only got two, possibly three fighters this time instead of the five we had last time, and we don't really have anywhere to retreat to if the battle goes badly."

AProcrastinatingWriter Thu Apr 25, 2013 6:06 pm

Aces thought back to the last conversation with timberwolves, or at least what he could hear of it. "They wan' the water, if I recall correctly. Presumably, there's more than enough here in the lake." He looked to Storm Blade. "It's a bi' cruel, considering the state of the water, but if they wan' i' and we wanna avoid a figh'..."

You pull yourself and Zippy up with ease, thanks to the vine rope. "Yes! Move now! Trial for Pony!"

"I think I'll be able to fight," Splash adds...

(I'll let you two plot for a bit longer...)

Fury of the Tempest Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:01 pm

"Maybe, maybe not." Storm Blade replied to the gambler, thinking hard. "I don't want to fight either, but they might quickly get angry for being near their water and attack. I don't think its effect them either, doc said that the goo is like a timberwolf, a spirit bound to a form, plus they like it more than every so maybe this water is better for them somehow.""

Colter Bolt Thu Apr 25, 2013 9:22 pm

"Trial? What did we do?" Necrar asks.

AProcrastinatingWriter Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:48 pm

Aces grunted. "So we can make our attempts, bu' probably no avoiding this fight. Fair enough." He crouched down slightly, waiting for the wooden wolves to show the green of their eyes.

(So, are you two prepared then?)

From out of a nearby bush, a pack of ten timberwolves emerge. Four of them have a number of battle wounds visible, varying from cut and scorched wood, while the other six seem to have fresher bodies, although they are almost completely covered in ash. They begin to head towards the lake, but one of the ash-covered wolves turns their head towards you, spotting you, and letting out a loud howl, alerting the others, who begin to growl at you all...

AProcrastinatingWriter Fri Apr 26, 2013 5:29 pm

Aces licked his lips a little, then bowed his head low to the ground. A show of acquiesence before he stepped to the side, indicating with his head that the water belonged to the timberwolves.

And also putting himself directly between the tibmerwolves and the good doctor.

(I don't see why they would fight...)

Storm Blade stepped aside as well, as he spoke to the wolves. "We mean you no harm, we are simply travelers taking a moments rest. However, if I may ask a question. Have you been fighting something that can make fire?"

The timberwolves give you with a look that, if facial expressions could speak, would say "Are you serious?" Eventually, one of the ash covered timberwolves barks up. "You! We fought you, and here you are stealing our water!" His expression turns into a sly, if not creepy smile. "Well, you're about to learn about the differences between timberwolves and ponies." His fellow wolves begin growling at you and the others (except Doctor Scope, who has used the oppotunity to hide behind one of the trees)...

Fury of the Tempest Sat Apr 27, 2013 9:50 am

"We aren't here to steal your water." Storm Blade stated firmly. Not backing down as the timberwolves advanced. "The only water we've taken is water from the sky." He replied, pointing at the rain-cloud he had made. "As I'm sure you know, pegasi can manipulate the weather to make things like rainclouds. Not to mention that you attacked us, not the other way around. We never wanted to fight you, and we still don't. There is no point in fighting as it'll weaken all of us, and we aren't doing anything that warrants being attacked, we aren't threatening you, we aren't stealing your water. We are just travelers traveling."

The timberwolves care little, if at all, about your explanation. They are most likely still angry about earlier...

(Frankly, you should roll be rolling Persuasion here because you are both trying the bluff about your purpose and persuade them not to attack, but I don't know the rules about trying to persuade something that hates your guts...)

The timberwolf who just spoke stays firm while the other nine starts to move forward towards the ponies at the lake...

(And I'm just feeling more redundant than ever.)
