In no time Kargan picks up the trail of Titus and the feeling Hobs. Kryinor, Breccha, and the wolves follow the dwarfs lead, moving through the forest expecting a fight...
@ The Goblin Camp
In a feat of surprising strength and dexterity, probably due tot he adrenalin and excitement filling his body, Zaxx throws the gnome over his shoulder and quickly and quietly makes his way to the woods edge unseen. The mysterious Elf clad in woods smart attire beckons him. Freedom at last, or just another hope to be violently dashed by fate?
Titus at last meets they eyes of the man as he slips his bonds, some soft voiced instructions and quick wit pass between the two and they are safe in the forest, for now...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Once I am sure we have not been seen I will turn and catch up to the human. Pointing in the direction in which we need to travel to go back to our camp.
"Seems you were in need of help. I have friends this way. Do as I say and we may yet see tomorrows rising sun. keep up, be as quiet as you can, we are not out of danger yet."
Don due to my favored terrain we can move normal pace without restriction and can't get lost unless by magical means.
if we have gone another 500 paces with out detection/trouble:
"keep moving on this heading quick as you can. The more ground you travel the closer to safety you will be."
I will then wait in position whilst the human moves off. I will then hide and watch listen for 2 minutes, on no trouble move and catch up repeat til we get back to the camp site.
Despite the adrenaline Zaxx pauses to smile at the ranger's wit.
"My heartfelt thanks to you, good elf," whispers Zaxx to his mysterious benefactor. "Time for introductions later and there is the small matter of my ... possessions, but for now, I shall carry our fallen companion to safety. Farewell!"
With a distinct level of dramatic pause such that he hopes the elf notices (and taking the opportunity to shift the weight of the gnome draped over his shoulder), Zaxx will speed off using the benefits of his Expeditious Retreat spell he recently cast, allowing him to move at an incredible pace.
[OOC: Expeditious Retreat allows me to take a Dash as a bonus action each round (for about 10 minutes). Zaxx will keep the pace up as best he can, heading in the direction that Titus pointed, until he finds something interesting and non-deadly]
Smiling at Kargan's enthusiasm, despite the fatigue clouding Kryinor's mind, he follows Kargan, directing his thoughts to Blaze "The short two leg, Kargan smells our prey"
Zaxx gives Titus words of thanks as he flies past with inhuman speed!
The fleet footed elf finds is hard to keep the Human in sight, surely some kind of arcane trickery is involved here.
In no time the group are away into the forest and have time to catch their breath and assess the situation with clearer minds and calmer hearts.
In the distance at the goblin camp a horn sounds and there is much commotion. It seems clear that Zaxx and Eedim's absence has been discovered.
"Errrg, me 'ead," groans Eedim. "Wha' happened? All I remember was a branch snapping behind me and all the lights went out..."
@ On the Forest Trail
"My pack-mates say that the Wood Ghost and the others are on the move, the enemy seeks them..." Blaze's thoughts cross Kryinor's mind as they run though the forest. "They have stopped for now but were moving towards us at speed a moment ago."
Titus had left plenty of signs to follow during his pursuit of the Hobs the night before, the trail is fresh, well marked and easy to see. Breccha, and Kryinor lope along the path broken by Kargan. The Dwarf has the scent of Grobbi and will not be denied vengeance.
Around the small party the wolves follow , grey ghosts in the early morning light.
OOC: How fast are Kargan, Brecch, and Kryinor moving along the trail?
Kryinor is keeping pace with the blood hungry dwarf.
Answering Blaze and trying to shake off his fatigue, knowing his companions will need his help before he can rest. "Are the rest of the pack close? We will meet them, and fight this enemy head on"
To Kargan and Breecha "Titus and the wolves with him are being chased by the enemy we must make haste, lest they be overwhelmed"
Kriynor is in his elven form and will remain so for as long as he can.
Hurrying off axe at the ready I follow those who have better night vision (OOC - assuming it is still dark?)
OOC: Suns up Breccha can see without problem now.
@On the Forest Trail
Titus heads down the trail he laid the night previous, heading for the last place he saw his other companions, and then on to the camp. Zaxx and Eedim follow in his wake, all flanked by their wolf escorts,
Kargan, Kryinor, and Breccha make haste on the trail likewise in the company of wolves.
The Hobgoblins and their goblin servants scout the woods, some heading in the same direction as the Ranger and his comrades.
Time passes and the chase continues. With Titus' peerless woods lore they manage to stay ahead of the pursuing forces and eventually one group of three encounters the other. Fleet footed Elf and Stout Dwarf warrior spy each other through he trees!
Titus is certain they are still being followed but the enemy is at least a few minutes away yet.

"Best we the leave the celebrations til later my sturdy friend. The greenskins come on at a rapid pace. There is a handful of goblins and more of those hobs. Including the hob leader, large fellow that he is. I'm in no condition for too much hand to hand work with hobs this day, I'll make some fine pin cushions if I may. Our new friend seems to have the dwimmer arts about him so he may be useful here on in. Prepare yourselves! They come! Let none survive! We must be close to the blasted Goblin Kings lair! I will lead them in!"
I will then head back the way I have come towards the goblins and short way (40 paces) and hide bow drawn. When i see the first goblin in range I will loose and retreat back towards the group firing as I go.
"aye, let us repay the grobbi in kind for their warm welcome last night. I will hold the path, the rest of ye hide with bow an axe at the ready. None of the grobbi scum leave here alive!!"
Titus moves off to bait the greenskins. A few hundred feet and he spots three goblins moving through the brush about sixty feet to the north. One turns, look directly at him. Its eyes go wide and it shout a nervous warning to is companions!

As the human moves past me Eedim on his shoulder: I whisper "Aren't they the same thing? Small, drunk and hungry"

Trusting to the Dwarf's night vision I follow him on the trail.

ooc: as fast as we can while still following the trail
Seeing Kryinor's increased urgency I speed up with him...
Kryinor is keeping pace with the blood hungry dwarf.
Answering Blaze and trying to shake off his fatigue, knowing his companions will need his help before he can rest. "Are the rest of the pack close? We will meet them, and fight this enemy head on"

"Ach, yer a clever lad Titus, got Eedim away from under the Grobbi's noses, ye even found an extra along the way, who's this clatty laddie then?"
