The journey there

[gatheringstorm]

[It isn't a long trip to Honey Badger Hold or a long stay there, merely overnight. Korrin's glad to socialize with Asher's people again and introduce Araceli to them, but she's even more eager to get going and see these elusive creatures at long last. So she's up earlier than one might expect for someone who spent the night drinking and story-telling. Never underestimate Avvar hangover cures.

She follows their directions exactly, not wanting to deviate and risk losing their best chane, but she can also multitask and be social with people. As long as they don't distract Korrin from her ultimate goal, she's willing to chat with them.]

Arrival, placing lures, and double-checking plans

[gatheringstorm]

[The clearing in the valley mentioned is rather large, all the more so for the lack of nuggalopes so far. Korrin's a little disappointed at not seeing them right away, but she was told they would need incentive to appear. Hence, lures. So she'll pass those out to everyone who wants to assist in placing them, speaking up as she goes so.]

Alright, time to get their attention. I know it should be obvious, but I'll say it anyway; we're here to acquire mounts, not hunting trophies. Non-lethal traps and maneuvers only. The Avvar have ridden them before, so they're not completely wild. We just need to get them to recognize us as riders. Lure them in, then it's time for the fun part. Just be careful not to spook them and we should be fine. Questions?

Nuggalope-wrangling

Return to Skyhold (Open)

[gatheringstorm]

[If ever there was a moment for dramatic musical accompaniment, this would be it. Astride a legendary nuggalope, the ground thundering from the passage of others all around her, Korrin is grinning from ear to ear. They actually managed to pull this off, and it's just starting to sink in that this isn't a fantasy. The guards of the main gates just stop and stare as they approach, as though unable to quite process what they're seeing. For her part, the Vashoth woman laughs and waves, then laughs anew as she glances over to her companions. Sure, they're making a spectacle, but don't they deserve it? No one has brought back nuggalopes, until now.]

C'mon, let's get them to the stables!
