"I can't." Said Cliver, looking around. "But it's not as though there isn't enough wood around for torches. We could also build a few bonfires around the entrance and wait for it until nightfall."

I guess my comfort zone is "eccentric side character."

Cliver sticks near the middle of the group, ready to put himself between any of the smaller members of the guild and any surprise attack. He holds his axe on his shoulder, but doesn't unsheathe its blade.
"Gonna need to clarify, I'm not the guy that hired you. I work for him, on account of him being a friend of my father. As for the creature, we know it's big, it's quick, and it's eyes glow. It comes out at night and if this trail leads where I think it does, it's probably nested down in a big cavern to the southwest." He closes his eyes and thinks for a moment longer, then says. "And it doesn't like other predators. I've found bear, puma, fox, just shredded to pieces. No wolves though. It leaves them alone, but they're cowering in their dens. We haven't had any trouble with them lately."
Am I allowed to just make things up about the monster because Llama asked?
"She might have gotten ahead of you, then. I swear I saw something moving around out there when I was up in that tree looking for the beast."
For his part, Cliver tried not to put to much pressure on hers. Three shorts, gentle shakes and then it was over. He nodded approvingly at her, let out the breath he hadn't even realized he had been holding, then looked about trying to find something else to occupy his attention. He found it coming up the trail.
"That halfling with you guys too?" He asked

"Lumber? Lady, I'll talk with the boss and get you as much as you need. If we take this thing out I'll personally cart it out there and repair the place myself. It killed all our pigs! Do you have any idea what it's like to live with a bunch of rowdy lumberjacks that haven't had bacon in a month?" He says jovially while taking Dreks hand and giving it a firm and hearty shake. He turns to offer the same to Clover, and then...
There's a flash of recognition as the man realizes exactly what she is. He flinches. For just the barest moment his mood falters and he looks at the girl as though he were extending his arm into the waiting mouth of some smiling crocodile. Then, like a passing dream, the moment is gone and his arm is fully extended. "Pleased to meet ya, Clover."

The man smile wide. "Well how do you like that?" He said, extending a hand to Lilith with seeminly no reservation about her age. "Name's Cliver. I'm sort of the camps unofficial hatchet man, pun intended. We were beginning to think no one would show up, so I got antsy and figured I'd head out and try to take care of this myself. I'm glad you guys showed up though. Truth be told this might be beyond me, aye? But, seeing as I'm already here and all what would you say to adding another ax to your party?"
"What in the world?" a voice came down from above, before a figure in red dropped down in front of Drek from out of one of the few trees with the fortune to still be standing. It was a young man, at least in his mid twenties, with long brown hair, dressed in an old, frayed, hooded coat of faded red. Swinging from his right arm was a sling containing what looked like a simple woodcutting ax, the wood of its shaft the same color as his coat. What was remarkable, however, was the horns.
Well, not really horns. Upon closer inspection the pair of short, stag like horns that pushed themselves up out of his forehead and snake their way around the sides of his skull, cradling it like a helmet, were actually made of wood. The same type of wood, in fact, as the shaft of his ax. From the base of these wooden horns what looked like a root system snaked its way under his skin, down his face and neck, to disappear beneath the collar of his coat.
And this freak had the nerve to look Drek over like he was the weird one. This look extended to the rest of the group, complete befuddlement plastering his face before it lit up with realization. "Wait, are you guys a guild? They actually sent somebody out?"

"You can hardly call it stealing, Mr. Par, they gave it to me." Rudolf said, grabbing GG round the neck as it followed the strange little yelping creature over to Reuben, stopping it in it's tracks. "You are being so rude today." He said, before turning up to Ahnciel. "Sorry, I had no idea you were a gene-mod. I thought you were just into the cosplay. He always gets curious about other types, but he's harmless. Watch."
Rudolf let the big monster go and it obediently stayed in place. Rudolf stood in front of it and said, clearly and in a loud voice, "GG, sit!" The beasts giant haunches hit the floor with a muffled metallic thud. Rudolf extended his hand, palm up. "GG, shake." A claw that could tear its way through the hull of a starship lifted up off the ground a placed itself delicately in Rudolf's hand. Rudolf smiled. "GG, hard shake."
A pair of tendrils snaked their way forward and wrapped around Rudolf's waist and under his arms, lifting him up into the air and quickly shaking him up and down for three seconds before placing him back on the ground where the man tried desperately to re-find his bearing. He steadied himself on a chair and shook his head. "That one was a whole lot more fun when I was younger." He said laughingly. "But you see, he's a good boy. Well, until anyone takes a shot at me. Speaking of!"
He turned to Par and whipped out his PDA, flipping the screen to show the map of the tunnels. "I was planning on running my boy through that rat maze and seeing what I scared up. Tops is building an army of monsters and they'll probably be down there. I imagine he'll spook once he hears what's happening and you can pick him up then. I'm ready to go whenever. Coordination is important and Remmy would yell at me over the phone if I put you out at all."
