"You say these soldiers are-- or, were hostile upon your last visit?" Daniel breaks the uneasy silence in a low voice. "How should they be handled?"
'Yes, sir,' says Goatie gingerly. 'All I know, at least,is that they put up a nasty fight when we tried to escape their domain after stumbling upon it. They also have troll creatures living in tunnels underground - and these guys were also pretty unhappy about our presence. I guess it's best to talk to them and see how amiable they are . . . I think I myself should stay undercover.'
With that, Goatie pulls the hood he is wearing well over his face, then motions his griffin to hide among the Lion horses for now; Jednook obliges willingly.

Daniel's expression is grave, especially at the mention of trolls. He turns to Liam. "Well, which one of us should attempt to negotiate, do you think?"

"Mm." Daniel pauses. "I'll do it. Be ready to fight if we need to."
The human soldier on the wall sees Daniel stepping forward. "State your business!" he repeats.
Keeping his head down, Goatie edges to the back of the group of Lion Knights. Jednook the griffin follows, weaving through the horses; he gets curious looks from the riders.

"Wha's goin' on?" asks Alun.
''Not really sure yet, but be ready to fight if we need to'' replies Goatie, quoting Daniel.
OOC: RuleJJ I caught up on the Lion Knights' HQ, but I'm still not sure I understand the objective of the expedition to the Abandoned Forest. Would you mind reminding me real quick? xP

Alun nods. "Fightin'. I can do that. Jus' gotta hit stuff."
Goatie grins slightly at these words and stands by an old gnarled tree surrounded by stones and pieces of rubble. He looks back towards the wall.
Jednook creeps out of the army to join him, almost at a belly-crawl. He hides behind a pile of rubble, burrows part the way into it - and gives a squawk of alarm.

OOC: Since it's inside the Lion Knights territory, Lord Urbien wanted to retake it so that they can use its defensive properties. He sent the soldiers to fortify it and the servants to start getting it back into proper shape. He did not know that all these people were here already.
