@Guardian Angel HarukiAs Pepper plants her feet on the ground and starts making her way in the direction the hunters have just come from, someone from the treetops calls down. "You there, stop! What do you think you're doing?" If she looks above, she'll see a ribbet resembling a red-eyed tree frog looking down at her. She's wearing some sort of wooden armour and has a large bow in her hands which is already loaded with an arrow and pointed towards Pepper's destination, implying she's some sort village of guard. Seeing a girl running out into her line of fire must have given her pause and she's lowered her bow slightly.
@rush99999The katari pauses in her charge towards the clinic when she sees Arnannel jump off the side of the bridge, worried for a moment that she might have caused him to fall and hurt himself. However, once she peered over the edge and saw him swinging safely down the ground, her worry vanished, and she quickly makes her way to the clinic.
From outside, Dimple will hear her shouting at whatever healers are available to aid Prino as soon as possible, and there's a commotion from inside as several people come to aid to get Prino to an empty bed. After a long moment, one of the healers must have asked the katari to leave and let them do their job, because she exits. The determination that had been in her eyes when on her way there has completely gone, replaced with exhaustion, concern... and regret. She doesn't even seem to notice Dimple as she takes a moment outside the clinic to run her claws over her face.
@Randomguy@ctrlsaltdelThe hunters immediately cease all chatter when Hasdubral addressed them, and all share wary glances with one another as they consider how much they should say to this complete outsider. Before they can come to a decision, however, Arnannel joins the discussion, also curious to know what is happening, and one of the younger hunters pipes up.
"Who's asking?" says a squat golden brown ribbet, looking both Hasdubral and Arnanell up and down. He takes a step towards the two outsiders and puffs out his chest to make himself appear taller. Considering he is less than half Hasdubral's height, this doesn't really do much to increase his intimidation. A couple of the other hunters shake their heads at this, but don't make any effort to stop him or interfere.
@VertigoA couple of other patrons, one a katari and the other a dwarf, leave their tables and take a seat next to the howler monkey simiah. "Spix! What in the Circles Below happened to you?" asks the dwarf, who, upon closer inspection, appears to have a beard made entirely out silvery-green lichen. He makes a gesture towards the person behind the bar, another simiah resembling a gorilla, to get them a fresh drink too. The barkeep nods and begins filling up three tankards.
"Yeah, you look like shit," the katari adds, causing the howler monkey simiah, apparently named Spix, to shoot them a look.
"Don't start with me, Mito, I'm in no mood," Spix says. He grunts gratefully as the barkeep hands each of them their drinks.
"Never stopped them before," the dwarf says, though he also casts Mito a disapproving look. Mito didn't seem to notice as they started downing their drink. The dwarf then turns his eyes back to Spix. "Hunting not so good today?"
"Oh it was going fine," Spix says before taking a long gulp of his drink. Once he's done he give a deep sigh, its tone somewhere between satisfied and exhausted. "We'd downed a couple of one of Rohkin's herds and had plenty of meat for the entire village. We were really looking forward to celebrating the amount of gold we'd rake in after that hunt." He lowers his head. "Trouble is, transporting a carcass that size takes time and effort. Most of us transported the first one back earlier today while the couple kept watch over the second. We returned to find the second carcass gone and the two hunters we'd left behind worse for wear. Apparently something had attacked while we were gone and taken our spoils."
"Oof," was the dwarf's only response. He might of said more, but Mito chimed in.
"That don't explain the scrapes you got," the katari said, jabbing a single claw towards a nasty gash on Spix's arm. While they didn't make contact, the sudden movement was enough to Spix tense up, pulling his arm close to himself.
"Watch it!" Spix spat.
