    Having already ranged out some distance from the Tavern's edge, passing through the semi familiar spot where the Simian Spring had lobbed a Molotov Cocktail weeks ago, leaving gas and fire and some very dead and burnt Briar Wolves, Sonnie is possibly unsurprised that there is no evidence that such violence had happened. The Path even packed, the remains more than simply picked clean, gone. Gone to nurasush hobs of to glut the ravenous Thorns.

    Anatole, now thanks to Titania's expert finesse and skill of her Court's Contract, is able to lead them to where he had seen the Spider Bazaar months ago. Knowing the nomadic Market would pass through the area only so often, those gathered had a specific quest.

    To see if there was another Market in their area, and to see if it was here to stay.

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.

    The Beast was, indeed, not very shocked to see the battlefield was basically gone. So much the better, really. The Tavern (and the Treehouse, though her Hollow was secret) didn't need dangerous scavengers in the area. Hopefully, there'd be no more Briarwolves around here for the foreseeable future, too. Hopefully.

    Dressed for a Hedge excursion, Sonnie was decked out in durable outdoor wear: Blue jeans, a green flannel shirt over a black tee shirt, her red hedgespun boots and a black beanie. Her messenger bag was slung across her back, and her hair was worn in twin braids.

    The Monkey was eager to see a Goblin Market. She loved them! There was so much to explore, so many hobs to meet! Still, the Monkey tried not to let her excitement override her caution. They were still in the Hedge, after all, and not a (relatively) safe part of it.

    "So, Bruenor," she said to Anatole, "What are we looking for? Tracks? Noises? Flyers posted on trees?"

    Equipment: Hedgespun Quarterstaff (+3B, +1 DEF), Hedgespun Coin Pendant (+1 DEF), Hedgespun Boots (+2 SPD), 3 throwing knives (+1L) (concealed), 2 murmurleafs in a ziploc bag, 1 coupnettle tea in a thermos, messenger bag, two bottles of water, a bag of pumpkin seeds, some matches, smartphone, an assortment of odds and ends for possible market trade.

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.

Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    The last time she had visited a Goblin Market she got scammed. Badly.
    The foretelling contract she had purchased didn't work AT ALL. And if it did, it didn't work the way it was advertised.
    Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...
    This time the Fairest has decided that she will buy absolutely nothing.
    Yeah, right. One her wisps seems to whisper her, rolling its eyes. Do they even have eyes? She shrugs.
    She follows along, passing the area where she fell months ago, only to be rescued by the monkey.
    Admittedly, she's not dressed for a hike in the Hedge. She's far too elegant, with her black velvet jacket and cross papillon and her skirt is a bit too short, but alas.
    Under her arm she holds a tote bag with the bare necessities. Follows a trail of wisps. It's like a school trip.
    "We're not too far off. No?", to be fair, she hates long trips.

    James hadn’t visited a Goblin Market since he made a deal for Truth, while there was downsides to the contract he had been pleased with his purchase. He was curious to see what sort of things they had, excited at the prospects of shopping. But in the back of his mind he also had to keep an eye out for who might be spies for the Others, if their information was being bought and sold. But that could mean he could buy information on their enemies there too. Lots of things to keep an eye out for.

    The Hedge was still the Hedge though she was dressed accordingly. Faded blue jeans, comfortable walking shoes, and a plain black shirt in case it got snagged on thorns he wasn’t about to waste his valuable band tee’s on such an endeavor. Though he had his backpack on filled with supplies to accompany him on a Hedge trip where anything could happen.

    “Yea, you’ve been here before right?” He said to the group as they marched through the hedge.

    Anatole has a spring in his step - and not just because he can move again thanks to the Emerald magics employed by a certain Fairest who has joined him on this adventure; the burned Dwarf is happy to get back into the Hedge and see what happens when they actually want to find a Market.

    The dwarf hustles to the fore, returning to his old habit of muscling his way past any obstacle, friend or foe. He wares a bulky coat purchases from a camping store human-side and carries his Ax over his shoulder, blade down at present (no threats detected). He doesn't have a bag, but his chunky jacket has at least one pocket filled with cereal bars.

    Anatole quits gazing about the Hedge (more to admire the changes the shift in Season has wrought) and turns to the group.

    To @Sonnie

    "Well the merchants from Anne's farm were moving along a proper road - so there must be a trod somewhere round here. As for signs? No. You'll know it if you see it. Its... a mammoth thing. Huge spider legs. And a lift. The hobs set up a toll both to manage entry. So... Its big. I don't recall banners or posters, though."

    He gives Titania a wan smile.

    "Time is a bit off out here. We were on a patrol when we found the road. I stuck with the merchants, so without Sera or Rhodes to say how long they were out after we split, I got no real idea. No longer than a day. Don't think I lost that much time getting back to the Freehold."
    James Turner question has the dwarf pull up and tug at his beard.

    "Can't say. If I recall we came by a different path. We still came out in the Freehold's neighbourhood. So... I think the paths must be close. The Spider Market was massive - something passing this way must have left something behind. It would be in its nature to do so."

    Not much point in being a mobile Market if you remained secret and hidden. Unless that was part of one's nature...

    Damn.

    Anatole winced.

    Anatole is carrying his Fire Ax (3L damage) and is waring a bulky jacket (no equipment listing so its effective armour value is 0). He'll have some trail bars in a pocket. Otherwise he is dressed in sturdy clothing and waring a worn pair of gloves.

    The area the Lost have gathered is familiar, the Springs know where the nearest Trod, and if they chose to risk it, they might find their way back to the Effigy Clearing, though of course today wasn't for stalking the shadow of the Huntsman, it was finding a place of trade. Commerce and connection, whether that be the Spider Bazaar or whatever else might have encroached upon the spider slik grove.

    Would the Lost risk the Trod, or would be travel further in hopes of another?



    If you want to travel without the Trod, please roll Int+Survival. Can be Teamworked!

    The Beast had no interest in going near the effigy clearing. The less attention they drew from the Huntsman's forces, the better. They were uncomfortably close as it was.

    "Makes sense, right? You can't sell stuff if nobody can find your store!" She nodded, even though she knew hobgoblins didn't necessarily work by any sort of mortal logic. In either case, they weren't going to find a market just standing there (probably). Time to move!

    "The best stores... the really exclusive ones are usually hidden away from the vulgar crowd", is her offhand reply to Sonnie's comment.
    "A spider market?", she replies excitedly, "Wish I had been there to visit it" she adds on a moody note.
    "So? Looks like we'll have to take a detour?", she remembers this place and it still gives her the chills whenever she thinks about it.
    Yup, off the road, that's it. No reason to risk an encounter of the violent variety.
    Thankfully she was dressed for this.

    "Eh. Yeeeeaaaah..."

    The burned dwarf had gone back to examining the trail, straightening to scratch his head as he peered, bewildered, through the verdant walls that pressed in on them.

    "I. Uh. I got no memory of this spot," he volunteered.

    He took in Anatole's words, big spider, large lift, off of a trod, unknown distanced away. Hedge distance was weird, at least he could feel the gate behind them. He looked around at the Trod and Thorns. He'd spent enough time in the Hedge to be able to do the bare minimum to not get lose in so he'd do his best to assist Titania with his scope of knowledge.


    "I can feel the gate behind us for now so that's an anchor point. I'm more of a quick exit guy..."
