[center][color=aqua][h1]Alberich[/h1][/color] Interacting With: [@Lord Orgasmo], [@Wick], [@Remipa Awesome][/center] [hr] [color=aqua]"Chuckles, make your way to the forest and try your... erm, [i]claw[/i] at chopping down more trees for us."[/color] Alberich told the beast that followed him around the campsite like a duckling follows its mother. As Chuckles took off to do his bidding, the lumberjack couldn't help but to feel awkward. The shambler would do his bidding, and it was nearly incapable of conversation, excluding the various grunts and moans Chuckles would make. Still, Alberich, as much as he felt uncomfortable, wondered if Ysran had the capabilities to teach his pet how to speak. The being had shown signs of intelligence, so Chuckles certainly had the capability to learn. Then, a scream was heard. Elyria was shouting for Alberich to help her, yet Alberich was far from the actual campsite. He looked in the direction of the panic, and quickly sprinted over to the commotion. By the time the lumberjack had reached the lake, Kathryn had returned and tried to save Elyria too, but before she could do anything, the woman had passed out in the water. [color=aqua]"Curses..."[/color] Alberich muttered as he cast his battleaxe aside, and wallowed into the lake. There was something beneath the water, and it was pulling on both of the females as the lumberjack tried to get the women out of the water. The women had become the rope in a tug of war match, and Alberich was determined to keep them alive. With a grunt, Alberich was sent flying backwards onto his bum with the elf and human in his arms. He hadn't the time to rest, and the beast knew that, yet the lumberjack wouldn't allow the monster another chance. Scrambling to his feet in the muddy water, Alberich struggled his way up to the shore before sitting the women beside the fire. [color=aqua]"Elyria, are you alright? What about you, Kathryn?"[/color] Alberich asked, his lower body soaked in mud and water. Looking at the two women, Elyria certainly had the ability to reply, while Kathryn had appeared to be still out. [color=aqua]"Kathryn? You there? Wake up, trooper."[/color] Alberich replied to the fainted woman, the lumberjack lightly slapping her cheeks to help Kathryn come back to her senses.
