Selva huffed as the thing still tried to go after the woman. Couldn't it hunt more suitable prey? Sighing, she watched it follow after her, and for a moment the human almost went the other way. However, she decided to follow in the end. Mainly just to watch, cause there honestly wasn't anything she could do. Essentially useless, she could only hope that the wampus didn't make a meal of the other. However, she suddenly heard the distant thunder of hooves. Looking to the side, she watched as a small group of centaur came charging in, dressed in armor and swinging weapons. Patrolling guards from the capitol, judging by the pattern and quality. She watched as they intercepted the feline, having heard the commotion while out, well, patrolling. Having decided to check it out, Selva watched them brandish their weapons and kick their hooves. There were four of them, circling the wampus to deal with it, maybe even kill it. All the while did the woman watch as they confronted.

Milia was out walking on a forest path, tail waving slightly with each step, carrying her bow at her side. The otter had been out on a hunting trip, and had a few rabbits tied to her belt. As she walked, she noticed a male walking too, dark skin and curling horns. Looked nice, exotic. Waving a paw, she said "Afternoon, sir." It was a reflex to always say hello.

Milia nodded once. "Quite. I've got a few rabbits. Might try to sell some, but I always save one for some good stew!" She then curiously asked "What about you? Where are you headed?"

Genocide thought about that but in all honesty he didn't particularly care."Wherever the road takes me."He responded."Why?Aren't offering directions are you?"He chuckled.

Milia chuckled. "Depends on where you want to go. Crown's Way is there, my home is back that way west, though Crown's Way might offer better work and market. It is the capitol after all."

The ranger contiuned to run for her life. She didn't dare look back as she ran. She could hear the wampus hot on her trail as she dodged through bushes and ducked under branches. For a brief moment, her mind wandered to the wampus. Why was it there? Wampus stayed farther south near swamps and wetlands. It was almost unheard of one coming so far north. Astra couldn't help but wonder if the beast was part of some illegal trade or had simply wandered unusually far from its habitat. The growl of the monster brought her back the rhe present. It was gaining on her.
As she thought she'd be the beast's next meal, there was a distant rumbling coming from behind. It quickly became louder and more distinct. Hooves. It was the sound of hooves pounding on the dirt. The half-elf couldn't tell if it was mounted guard, centaurs, or something else entirely. Relieved, she dove to some bushes to the side and hide herself from the wampus. Watching from her hiding spot, she watched as a small group centaurs surrounded the thing. Jumping up, she readied her bow and came out from where she hid. She stood behind the group and waited to see what they'd do.

Selva watched the centaurs deal with the wampus, swinging swords and kicking hooves. They would get close, attempting to stab it while jumping nimbly away if it tried to claw or bite. Were they going to spare it? Well, surely they had seen the damage it caused, and probably saw it chasing the other woman with intent to kill. Staying in her hiding spot, she watched another centaur cut into the wampus' back legs, surely cutting the tendons so it would buckle as well as be unable to escape. Ah, so they were aiming to kill it. The human female watched as one of the guards nailed the wampus in the back, just past where the shoulder blade would end. One of the others took the opportunity to raised her sword and bring it down as well. Most animals were treated with respect and as civil individuals, but after causing such disruption, trying to kill someone and attacking the guards as well she supposed it was grounds to end its days.

Astra watched the centaurs, impressed with their tactics. She backed off some as they challenged the wampus, slashing and stabbing at it. Although her weapon was still at the ready, it appeared that the guards had it covered. Finally one of the centaurs delivered a killing blow to the head. With a thud the beast fell and stopped breathing. One of the centaurs slashed its neck. An extra precaution to make sure it wouldn't snap at one of them. Astra walked over to the wampus, ignoring the guards for a moment. She lightly nudged it with her foot, then nodded. The creature didn't move, it was truly dead.
"This wampus will sell for a lot. Pelt isn't in perfect condition, but someone would probably want to make something from it anyway. The teeth and claws however, are in perfect condition. They will certainly get you a pretty coin." Astra wasn't speaking to anyone in particular, it was simple observations made. Any ranger or expierence hunter could do it really. She didn't wait for the centaurs to reply as she walked away and scanned the area. She would have to track where it came from. The people of Bryghtwood would probably appreciate it. As she gazed at the forest, her mind wandered to the flash she saw earlier. Someone else was in the forest, but she had no idea what happened to them. While she tracked the wampus' movements, she could find this person as well. Assuming of course they weren't woodsman themselves.

(Sorry,this left my participated) "Sounds like a plan."Genocide replied with a smile as he leaned against his axe's handle and started waiting for Milia to catch up. |

One of the centaurs nodded a little to Astra. "Then a fine price it will fetch you. We have no need to sell it ourselves." The probably would have if Astra didn't want to, but she seemed the type for it so the wampus would be left with her. That was when Selva slowly crept into view. She honestly would've left if she didn't need to retrieve her dagger. "I'm just going to hop over and grab that dagger there, then I'll be on my way. I have no use of that creature where my trade specializes." As she simply yanked her weapon out, cleaning it briefly on some cloth, she smiled sheepishly at the guards. She had seen them before, even talked with them. "Are you headed to Crown's Way?" one of them asked, and she nodded a little before responding with "Yes, I've got Fitz waiting a ways away from this mess. Got some real goodies this time, it'll earn me a little more coin than usual."

ProtractorThe otter nodded before catching up with the goblin. She began walking with him toward the capitol. As she did, she asked "So, what's your name, sir? I'm Milia, Milia Waterway." She looked over at him curiously, if he so chose to answer.

Milia arched a brow. "Oh? And why is that?" Maybe he was some great warrior or something. A good hireling? She looked at him curiously as they walked. "You must be quite a fighter with a name like that."

Milia huffed. "Well, there's plenty of bandits and thieves in Bandit's Pass. Surely there's a few with a bounty you can collect." She smiled a little before looking ahead again. "Hirelings do well in the capitol though. Try looking for work there."

"Or they can try to collect one from me."Genocide smirked."They take me back to my old home they get a few hundred gold for it."He thought about it for a few moments before responding."While I'm not one to like to work for someone else,I do like being paid."

The ranger shrugged. She didn't exactly need the money, however she didn't want to pass getting some coin for the beast. Astra turned back towards the centaurs and leaned towards the monster. As the half-elf began to string the wampus into a tree for later, she saw someone slip out from the side. A woman who seemed to be slightly younger than Astra awkwardly approched the group. She watched as she approched the wampus and pull out a dagger. The ranger gave a small smile and nodded towards the dagger. "So you were the mysterious figure then. Hey, thanks for the help back there."

Milia hummed. "Maybe they can, but here you are, in no trouble of greedy bounty hunters." She then laughed a little. "Don't we all? I technically don't have to ever work because of the riches my family has, but I still want to earn my keep. Guides forbid that I become some spoiled noble woman!" |

"You see,that's the problem with Guides.They forbid what's not needed and kill anyone who says otherwise."The tall goblin sighed.This talk would get him killed some day,he just knew it."But being a rich goblin is balanced on it's own.I have a greed and an overly complex compulsion to help people."

Milia arched a brow. "The Guides don't kill for every thing they don't agree with. They are actually quite absent in mortal life. The last time they were even seen was thousands of years ago." Everyone had their opinions though. "You must still thank them to a degree. Without them, all mortals would be enslaved, and you would not be free to do anything really. So, be happy!" She nudged his side playfully. "You're able to keep your riches and help who you want."

(For Amber)
Selva looked toward the elf, or what looked mostly like an elf, and nodded a little. "I heard all the commotion and decided to check it out. I'm not much of a close-combat fighter though, so all I had was one good throw and that was about it." She briefly turned to bid the centaurs goodbye, the guards needing to take their leave to go give a report to whoever they answered to. After they left, hooves thundering along the forest floor, she turned back to the other woman. "So, what had you out here anyway? Hunting or something? Do you sell game?" Selva decided that the other seemed to know what she was doing, from dealing with the wampus to stringing it up in a tree.

Genocide snorted at that."If I helped who I wanted to I'd have the cleanest blade you've ever seen."He turned to the Otter."So,how's your family so rich?"
