<<Converse>>
The two of you decide to pass the time with casual conversation.

<<Daren: Declare genocidal grudge against nubbinkind>>
See, you'd do that, if practically every living creature capable of the emotion called "hatred"
didn't already foster such a genocidal loathing for the things.
And speak of the Devil...
<<Nubbin: SKREEEEEEEEEE>>
You shriek, or as you NUBBINS are only capable of saying, "SKREEEEEEE" to your sad, pathetic heart's
content. Which is pretty much always.
<<Kill all but one Nubbin>>
Sorry, but that's a no-go. The damn things have gotta die.
<<Investigate Nubbin>>

<<Daren: break some heads>>
It doesn't seem like they had your other swords on 'em.
You proceed to tenderize the meat.
<<Aiden: get cooking>>
You conjure a simple flame and proceed to burn the corpses. The conflagration causes the
monsters' bodies to continue flailing and twitching. You can tell they're dead though, because
they aren't fucking shrieking anymore, thank the gods.
You and Daren proceed to enjoy the fireworks.
<<Keep your guard up>>
Those Nubbins weren't much of a threat, but the engagement has put you both
on edge. You keep your guard up against any encroaching danger...
<<Bush: rustle>>
You can't control the bush. But it sure does seem to be rustling! You suppose you
should go check it out...
<<...>>

You've stumbled upon a HOB. A Hob is a deceptively dangerous Fae, and as such
you don't think provoking it would be a very pleasant experience. Good thing you
didn't decide to inebriate yourselves before this hike, or the scent of the smoke
would certainly have offended the Hob. It also seems to have recently eaten one
of the wild turkeys in these woods, though whether for food or the feathers that
Hobs love so very much you aren't sure. The Hob also seems to have jammed the
turkey's plumage into it's sensory organs. It does not seem particularly bothered
by this.
In the distance you can see a STALKING THUMPKIN, a loathesome botanical beast,
as well as a ROYAL APPLE TREE.
<<Aiden: Inspect hob>>
<<Continue towards town>>
<<Party: complete journey>>
Ah, you've crossed out of the woods and onto the hills overlooking ÁCRUAN CROSSING.
Despite having seen this sight several times before, you double check your town map
to orient yourself on your surroundings.
<<...>>
The entrance to town has all the essentials for a traveler's convenience. You can
see there is the modest inn and the general store across the street. The other
large building would be the blacksmith's house and workplace. Ácruan is a decently
sized village if you head West beyond the entrance, with some more specified
venues and housing, as well as HUFFINGTON TOWER. Further on from Ácruan to
the North are the Shelby Hills. And to the South, the Forest of Ácruan, where
Dugald and Aiden's house is.
Daren has arranged transportation by chariot to the Faerie Haven you will be raiding.
You're supposed to meet your ride inside the inn.
Wish I had a better solution for Flashes than linking to DeviantArt. Oh well.
Page 4 is gonna be bitch since I don't have anything to base to reconstruction on, but I'll try not to take too long.

Because you never know when monsters will attack. Casual conversation is also usually interrupted by important things, for some reason.

With a name like nubbins, im guessing theyre along the "Slime" rank of monster. But what is, and how did they manage to attack Daren if so pitiful?
