[Ariedale] [U] Leaky Tap Tavern

[Errol]

Errol had pulled himself and his hammer over to the table along with everyone else, leaning against his hammer again once he came to a stop.

"If you don't mind me asking, what set the pack off?"

[Jebidiah]

Having entered to hear what was being said, Jebidiah was only interested after Errol spoke about figuring out what was behind it. His water was currently in the form of an icy scarf draped around his golem. He turned and approached the group with his golem nearby. "Indeed that does seem like a prudent question. For we shouldn't go ending the life in the world with so little a reason."

[Demonia]

Hemmet stared at the group of adventurers mainly the two men in disgust. "Who in their right minds cares if a few wolves die and what set em' off, they're a danger to the village, you don't have to help if you're too soft to kill a few of the mongrels then you can go ahead and leave". The man looked back at the girls slightly irritated. "The wolves are located in the Violet Wild Woods, other then that I can't tell you much about the land, now you got the information you need now get out of my sight I have a few other things to take care of and a village to run". With that the man stands up staggering with a slight sway to his walk, the stench of alcohol following him as he clumsily walked to the doorway of the bar and left leaving the adventurers to their thoughts. The bar tender walks over putting a glass of water on a table next to Errol before walking away not even responding to how Hemmet acted.

[Moriba]

An amused smile left Moriba's lips as the girl next to her regarded her as Antler. She listened to the drunken man speak now fully amused, the name of the forest becoming memorized. She watched as he left with a drunken walk and she stood up herself her lionesses standing as well ready to follow their master. She held her hand out to the girl next to her a smile playing on her lips. "Well then Red, since you seem to be in for this little job I say we work together, names Moriba, yours"? She would await the girls reaction quite liking the nickname she had given her, Red was catchy.

[Alphina Zalher]

Alphina crossed her arms with a sour expression. He was asking them to do something that they could easily not do and he had the guts to say ‘get out of his sight?’ She narrowed her eyes as he exited. “Geez, what a jerk.” If some ten year old payed her a single piece of gold to beat him up, she’d do it. Within a heartbeat. The gal looked over to the shifter, soon abandoning her super pouty face and replacing it with the one she had before that guy ruined her mood. “Mine name’s Alphina. Nice to meet ya’, Moriba.” She shook the other’s hand and turned, now looking at the other two who accompanied them. She wasn't quite sure what to say. “What are you two gonna do?” That was pretty much the only thing she thought was pretty safe.

[Jebidiah]

Jebidiah just shook his head in sorrow for the man. After he left, and got addressed by the others, he spoke to them. "For one with such close ties to nature, you are certainly eager to disrupt the natural flow of things. Killing these wolves without a good reason won't solve any problems, but instead just make it worse. Say the wolves moved to the village because food became scarce. Killing them now will only destabilize the pests they naturally eat, causing further problems in the future. Now, if that is the case, why did the food become scarce? Has a greater predator encroached on their lands? And if so, will it be a threat to the village?

However, if instead it was just a child who did something stupid and blamed the wolves, why should we take their lives when they did nothing wrong?

So, my position is that it is wrong to waste a life, especially life that helps maintain the balance of life around it. So tell me, are you two going to blindly take the lives of other creatures?" Jebidiah asked with a slight tilt of his head.

[Jebidiah]

After waiting for a reply, Jebidiah left. He would have no part in the mindless slaughter of innocent animals. After all, animals tended to be reactionary and not really forward thinking.
