[color=6ecff6]"Yes, and they challenged us to pursue them,"[/color] Ethelred added to Elnith's observation.  [color=6ecff6]"They might be trying to lure us into a trap.  If so, we at least have some idea which direction to take to find their kin."[/color]

Ethelred looked down at the man.  The battle was quite brief, and the monsters didn't manage to put up much of a fight.  Instead they had opted to flee, treating the entire thing like a game.  It one of the reason that Ethelred didn't want to immediately pursue- those little plant creatures were too cheerful and enthusiastic about the prospect of being chased.

The other reason was that they needed to help the Unseelie's victim.

[color=6ecff6]"After, of course, we assist this man.  Might someone with warmer hands help him to his feet?"[/color] he requested, looking down at the traveler.  He was lucky that the knights had come along.  Even the lowliest of the Unseelie were cruel beings that delighted in causing others' suffering.  He was bashed up a bit, but looked like he should be able to still walk.

[color=6ecff6]"We're knights of Queen Sorcha, come to deal with Unseelie activity in these woods,"[/color] he answered, now addressing the man.  [color=6ecff6]"They've got the nearby village cowed with fear, and from what we've gathered, the fiends have been luring people into the woods with singing at night.  Is there anything you can tell us about them that might help in rooting them out?  And do you need help getting to safety?"[/color]
