Re: ADV: Between The Pines
Another hour passes by as the group moves down the road, finally reaching the fork and preparing to head south towards town. You all stop short as you spot a person in the distance sitting on the ground, his back up against an old apple tree laden with fruit. He hunches forward a bit, his knees bent up, and scribbles furiously on a pad of paper, looking up at the hillside and clouds every few moments before once again putting pencil to paper. This goes on for several moments before he notices the group. Scrambling to get up he tips over his waterskin onto his midday plate, soaking the bread and pudding he has there before tripping over his own foot and stomping down onto his satchel of cheese and dried fruits with a squish. He throws up his hands in frustration cracking his knuckles across a low-hanging limb in the process. With a deep sigh he reaches down and plucks a pile of papers from the ground, now also soaking wet from his waterskin, shakes them off the best he can, and tries to hurry forward towards you, his hands up showing he has no weapons or aggression. "Aye! 'Ello! You fine fella's yonder! Aye' The names Norm, you must be headed ta'town, yeah? Stoney Meadows? Down yonder in the hill? Yeah? I knew it!!" He stops about 20 yards away as he suddenly seems to take notice of the wolf. "Oh, hey, good kitty.... goooood kitty. Here, I think I got a few bits o' corn in me pocket. Heeerree kitty kitty." He bends over and spinkles some dried corn kernals on the ground. "Oh, sorry fella's. The names Norm. You headed to Stoney Meadows, yeah?"
