NOTE: MY QUEST PURGE THE DARKNESS IS NOW RUNNING. YOU CAN STILL BE HERE, BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PARTAKE IN THE QUEST. THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF ACTION IN THE VILLAGES THEMSELVES.
Abounding forests with lush, running rivers. Peaceful settlements of centaurs and elves alike throughout the countryside. A mountain with an evil aura about it, and a foul stench from the dozens of goblins that infect it. A monument in the middle of town, honoring the great Ortarasp for his many deeds done for the town. There can only be one town on the plane fitting of such a description. That town is Syrinii.
Having lasted peace for more than a milenia, Syrinii is a beautiful land at first sight, with a lake to the southwest, and rivers flowing in all directions from it. If you're coming to Syrinii looking for a fight, you will not be mercifully dealt with. While being lovers of nature, the centaurs are mightily skilled warriors when they need to be.
You enter the town with the large lake to your right, with three roads leading into town. One leads to the northern villagers, another leads to the eastern villagers, and you are relatively closer to the southern villagers.
Karius jumped up, startled and grumpy, and reached back for his bow. Realizing it was just a man, he relaxed his tension, and said, "What business do you have in Soin, stranger?"
Raine nodded his greeting, smiling wryly.
"'Guardsman', huh? You don't seem to be busy guarding anything...I take it that things have been peaceful here lately?"

"Well, generally, there aren't many people coming to this town, so I get to relax for hours at a time. It's actually been a long time since I saw someone outside the city. Are you looking to talk to the commnader?"
He nodded slowly, tapping the longsword on his hip, the blade covered by a sheath of goblin skin.
"You can call me a hunter...of all sorts of people and things. Tell me, seen any goblins? Or are they simply pseudo-legends now? Almost disappeared?"

"I still believe they exist. Just off in that mountain to the west," Karius said as he pointed to the mountain. "Dangerous place just to be around, though, as goblins can lunge out at you at any time. They're actually getting together a team to go search around the mountains now. If you go quick, I'll bet they will let you come along. They're always lookin' for new recruits."
Karius pointed down the path and said, "Just there in Soin, they should be recruiting in the middle of the village. You'll want to talk to Haruj, the commander. You can't miss him; he stands taller than all other centaurs. Though only come up to him if he isn't addressing a crowd, as he hates being interrupted."
In the middle of the village, there was an assembly of about a dozen centaurs and half a dozen elves. Off to the side was a centaur of about 7'6". He was inspecting a map, with a belt of axes across his waist. He was undoubtedly Haruj.
Haruj looked down at Raine from his map, and said, "Welcome to Soin, then. We were just about to depart for the mountain base. We hope to make this hunt as short as possible. It will take about an hour hike to get to the base, and from there, if there are any goblns,...well, you'll see once we embark. Do you have all that you are ready to bring with you?"
OOC: Do you want it to be Ares, or just Raine that you're referred to?
[*shrug* He's Ares Raine...Doesn't make a huge difference to me. Sometimes I use Ares, just I remember Raine sometimes because all my CTP characters are last-name Raine. :p]
He nodded.
"I'm Ares Raine, nice to meet you commander. Tell me, do we get to keep our kills? This sounds fun to me...How many goblins are supposedly in the area? I'm quite ready to go."

"Nice to meet you Ares. If you REALLY want to keep your kill for whatever reason, you're free to do that. We just burn it all once we finish it anyway. In the mountain itself, there reside close to 100 goblins. On good days, we find about 30-40 at the base. They aren't very predictable, though." He looked up to the sky, then shouted to the crowd, "IT'S TIME!!" The crowd cheered, and Haruj started walking forward.
He looked back to Raine and said, "Time to go. Try not to get on anyone's badside here, as that would be most unpleasant to deal with."
Raine chuckled, winking as he followed.
"Don't worry Commander, I'm no pushover, I've killed all kinds. Centaurs, humans, goblins, elves, they're all the same when it comes down to it, bags of flesh, just stab the right places and you stop having to deal with them."

.......La dee da dee da, strolling through the forest, off to see the goblins, the wonderful goblins of Soin, etc etc, approximately an hour later...
They arrived at the base of the mountain. Between the edge of the forest and the base of the mountain, there was a vast land stretching about 40 yards, a couple of small camp fires. From the looks of things, the goblins had been here quite recently.
Haruj turned to everyone, and slashed the air with his hand. Everyone ran to the bushes and the trees off to the side. He strolled up to Raine, and said, "Go find a tree or bush to hide behind. I will be the decoy seeing if there are any who will attack me."
Raine shrugged, not really like the business of hiding and decoys, though he followed the directions quietly, finding thick shrubbery and crouching down behind it.

As Haruj strolled up to the base, he would stop every once in a while, scanning the area. At about 15 feet from the mountain base, all of a sudden 20 goblins lunged out from behind the rocks at him. He jumped back out of the way, just dodging the first wave of goblins.
Then another wave of 15 goblins stormed the forests where everyone was hiding. Elves started launching arrows, and centaurs jumped out and attacked with axes.
Ares spun around with a loud shout of rage and glee, pulling out his longbow, and backpeddaling as he expertly notched an arrow and launched it at the closest goblin's face.
"HUZZAK!"

Haruj swung his axe at 5 surrounding goblins, blowing them all back against the mountain. He turned back, looking at Ares, hearing the scream, but realized he was just glad to be killing. He turned back and went back to fighting some of the goblins.
A few goblins started gathering in the middle of the forest area, and started creating a huge fire, setting most of the surrounding trees on fire.
Ares had been moving back to the open area outside the forest that Haruj had entered, taking the time every once in a while to notch an arrow and sending it hurtling at a goblin neck.

The fire was quickly spreading, setting a few suicidal goblins on fire. Elves were shoving goblins into the fire, centaurs tossing into the fire, but it only fed the fire.
Haruj came up to Ares with a few goblins hunched on his shoulders, and said, "Well, any ideas on how to get that fire out? It doesn't look like it'll rain any time soon."
