[quote=Silent Observer]A snapping branch interrupted his moment of peace and he looked down to see the barbarian woman awake and walking somewhere. With interest, he finished his prayers and hopped down from the tree to follow her. Being more beast than man, her nakedness did not bother him, not in the slightest. All creatures were born that way, humanoids were the only ones strange enough to change it. "It is good to see that I will not be the only one to wake before the sun throughout our journey." he said choppily in the Common tongue, which came less naturally to him than Druidic, Elven, or Sylvan. [/quote] While Nyala was a woodsman, she didn't possess the nose of an actual beast. At this range she couldn't tell one scent from another. Her ears, however, were sharp enough to recognize the tongue in question. The druid from the tavern. She rather suspected he would be far more capable of finding her than she him. As priests were to knights and paladins, so too were druids to berserkers and rangers. "Not all may be useless," Nyala replied as she pulled a handful of water up to her shoulder and let it run down her length, "I did spy an archer amongst them though far too many are city folk. "Still some may surprise us." That much was true. Some city folk, especially those they called rogues and thieves, weren't completely useless moving through the woods. Plus, wizards, no matter where they hailed from, as fragile and easy to kill as they were, were remarkably powerful if you could keep them alive long enough to finish their incantations.
