He transforms into a human and pulls out a long, curved, green dagger.

Gwen screams,  wild shapes into a dire wolf, dashes 100 ft away into the tavern

He pursues her as a snake. When he is in the tavern he turns back and looks around for her, his tongue flicking like crazy.

Vestri gets back from somewhere and sees a Snake chasing a wolf

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" He shouts "Drake, some help?"

Gwen runs around the tavern in a circle until Vestri stops them

Drake limps over and pulls out a longblade. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

Navarus hisses and shows his fangs at Gwen and Drake.

Gwen growls at navarus

"No idea. You grab the snake, I'll grab the wolf."

Vestri traps Gwen in a net, she whippers and whines as he does so.

"I leave for a day, and this happens." Vestri grumbles under his breath

Drake picks up Navarus by the head, so he can't bite him. He defangs him and yeets him outside. "Thou can transform back girlie. That retched snake is gone."

Gwen shifts back, breathing heavily. Vestri takes the net off her. She rushes over to Drake and grabs his leg for comfort and protection.

"What.In. Mahal's. Halls. Happened?!?!?" Vestri shouts.

"T-t-he s-s-nake. He b-bit..." Gwen says, still fearing for life

*Narvus isn't only in the wrong. Gwen needs to be pushed*

Drake lifts her up by the collar. "Lemme see thy hand. Also thou did club him over the head with yer staff."

*she is now in elf form, no collar*

She extends the injured hand. She has already washed it off and bandaged it, doing a surprising lying good job."

"Maybe... Possible... Probably... But he bit me!"

He shouts from outside with no teeth "I waf rying oo ead da flower!"

Drake inspects her hand. "Their was never venom. He must have tricked you." (Navarus can be heard cackling outside)

Gwen hides behind Drake. "That, that flower eating, lying, no good man... Why would someone eat a flower?"

Drake rolls his eyes. "I'll give thou some hot cocoa. On the house, just sit down, get a blanket, thou shall feel better in no time."

"Thanks... What is your name?"

“Drake Athaër.” He gives her some hot cocoa and a blanket and sits her down. “Marshmallows?”

"Gwen, and yes." She says, wrapping herself in the blanket

"This reminds me of his place..."

*This isn't happeneing now, just later, in the future*

After sharing hot coco together, Gwen goes on a walk *For 6 months*

Vestri leaves to go on undisclosed mission

*hi i can't post much but i can start*

an older human man with a short, trimmed ashen beard and white hair, braided in places, wearing a deep blue and silver tunic, beige skilk trousers and clutching a walking stick walks in.  They appear to be nursing a brokin leg and are mumbling curses under there breathe.  

'assist me please, my leg is brokin.  i am known as Foireann Liath in these parts, maybe you've heard of my skills as a wood carver?'
