(( These events took place the day after the Horde Compact meeting and a day before the Story Circle in Bloodhoof Village (so on 3/27/09 OOCly). A lot of the members already know about what happened, since it was mentioned after the Story Circle and at the guild meeting. The rest can find out ICly through in-game RP by face-to-face or the Wind-Talk system. I am posting this pretty much as a starter to the first part of a (hopefully) larger Centaur RP arc. ))
Pishnek rode southward on his kodo that he borrowed from Bloodhoof Village some days ago to speed up his journey. He recalled the places he visited the last few days. This was his first trip to the eastern coast and he was eager to see more of it. He already saw it by Sen'jin Village, and then in Ratchet. He was now heading for the marshlands to the south.
He decided to take a detour moving a bit away from the coast to the west wanting to avoid the human stronghold of Northwatch Hold. Also, he wished to see the tribal campgrounds since he hadn't been there in some time and now was a good chance. He passed between the hold and the nearby oasis far enough from both not to be noticed. As hours passed he was approaching his desired location, though he had to watch out not to wear out the beast he was riding on; he took a rest break in the open grasslands.
As he was nearing the campgrounds he noticed something strange from afar. Things looked not quite as he remembered as the tents weren't clearly visible. Also, there was some smoke going up in the air. Pishnek told slowed down his approach and looked around to see if there was anyone else present in the area. His awareness increased as he sensed that there may be danger nearby. He hopped off his kodo and slowly walked towards the site. He took his beast behind him and put it beside a tree with bushes to hide it. Then he took his spear and stealthily prowled forward to the camp.
When he got there he realized that all the tents were knocked over. Some of them were a little ripped and one was burnt. Some smoke was still rising from it. He approached the biggest one and searched it. Apparently most of the things inside were taken away, there wasn't much left. He then looked about the other ones. Pishnek realized that fixing all these tents would require a big effort. Then he got angry. Who did this? Why would someone destroy a collection of tents with little to gain? He looked at the ground and saw many tracks which looked like hooved four legged creatures had made them. He thought to himself that he must report this to the rest of the tribe. He went back and hopping on his beast he started riding back. He then realized it won't be until the Story Circle that the tribe will meet, so he decided first to ride up on the mountains that border the marshlands he wanted to see. There was enough time that he could make it to Thunder Bluff before the Story Circle. Soon he started to climb the slope.
(( The continuation of this was RPed out after the Story Circle where Pishnek informed Huatar and the others present about the situation. It was discussed later what to do about it (then and at the meeting as well). Any further RP can be either in-game or here in this topic (or in both). This topic may be used later to gather up those who will wish to go do the event that will be made. Also, it can be used to ICly coordinate the scouting party RP. If you weren't online and are wondering about more details, then feel free to ask ICly about them.))
