A small figure observed the younger goblin stalking a doe in a clearing in the woods for the last mile and a half...well from what Griz assumed to be. He had only decided to follow and observe the lone goblin when he spotted him dipping in and out of bushes when the sun was still relatively low in the sky. The sun had now properly risen in the sky when the younger goblin managed to finally get close enough to the doe, but the doe had already known he was there hiding in the bush. [color=khaki]The doe knows he is there...did he forget to mask his scent? No. That would be a mistake of a youngling but not someone older. Perhaps his sweat from the trek?[/color] Griz thought to himself as the goblin in question burst forth from the bushes in a last-ditch effort to perhaps kill his mark. Though, sadly, the deer had the advantage of speed and already noticing him and scampered deeper into the woods even before the spear could have been thrown. He frowned slightly at the frustrated hunter. He knew all too well that failed hunts were frustrating; all that time, all that effort, all that energy spent for nothing. But this may be a learning experience for him and a chance to grow from it.

[color=khaki]"Perhaps next time, Brenden."[/color] Griz muttered quietly to himself as he sees the younger comedically kicking a stone heavier than he could kick and clutching his foot and hopping around in pain. Now that he finished observing the process and outcome of Brenden's hunt, it was time for him to do what he originally went out for. Observing a couple of humans that seem to have wandered a little too close to the village. Griz knew that they were in good terms with the human village, but that did not mean that they were the only humans in the world. He hopped from tree branch to tree branch under the cover of the leaves and shade of the canopy above as he moved closer and closer to where the others said to have seen them. It was unlikely that they were anything else other than hunters that wandered too close to their tribe's territory, but he couldn't take any chances. [u][b]Especially[/b][/u] if they were adventurers. Griz sneered at the thought. Adventurers. Greedier than dragons and more prone to violence than an orc berserker that drank too much grog. He would never forgive them for what they did years before. The raid hurt the tribe as a whole, but it hurt Griz more than other goblins.

An hour or so of hopping from tree to tree later, he finally finds the two humans. They were camping. From what he could see and hear, they were neither hunter nor adventurer. They were travelers that had gone astray from whatever road they were following and decided to stop moving until they finally know where they are...well arguing where they were then and there. The goblin hopped closer to the camp and once he was above them he spoke to them. [color=khaki]"If you're trying to reach the human village you're going in the wrong direction."[/color] Their reaction was sudden, one of them lept for cover in the tent while the other drew forth a short sword and pointed it at the goblin squatting on a tree branch above them. [color=khaki]"It would be wise if you lowered your weapon, humie. If I was your foe I wouldn't have given away my position."[/color] The human said nothing but lowered his sword, but did not sheath it. [color=khaki]"You're heading towards goblin territory. If you want to reach the human village, you head back where you were walking and upon seeing the large tree split by lightning you head northwest until you reach a dirt road. Use that road and I'm sure you'll be there before the dawn of the next day. Got it?"[/color] The man wielding the short sword nods and says thanks to Griz, who waves it off rather casually. He was happy enough from the fact that the humans will be gone soon.

The two pack their things, but never break line of sight of Griz for more than a minute before walking off to follow his directions.  Once he sees the silhouettes of the two travelers disappear in the treeline, he makes his way back to the village to report that the two humans near their territory were dealt with accordingly.
