And he follows.. so many troll smells.. wait, that goth stuff she wears! That's different, that and troll smell mixes!

and that path goes off to the side...

He snorts, snuffs... and heads down the side path.

Fewer smells down this way. Just her.. wait.. no there are other smells. mm it smells kind of like what Margilita, that nocker girl uses. Tiffany spoke of it... boom boom dust?

He sneezes. Smells like popguns and Fourth of July? But it's October. He trots onward, slowing down and listening as well as he snuffles along.

Keen puppy ears pick up a conversation "How the FUCK did she stumble onto us? We took every precaution"

He slinks now, belly low, creeping in. The ShadowPaw doesn't like the sound of this.

""I don't know.. but damn it. make sure the bonds, blind fold and gag are tight. She flicker flashes..." Now he gets a look, gadzooks, a four eyed boggan

okay he has glasses

There's Gerd, she got her eyes covered. Her hands tied even the fingers... and a gag! Ooo she looks mad.. even with the gag on. Oh, Especially with the gag on

He pauses, unsure of how to proceed. Run for help? Call for help? She's in trouble NOW. But he's only one tiny pup...

Does it looks like he can sneak behind Gerd?

Looks like the ones who have her caught are the Four Eyed Boggan! The GREEN Cap (She's wearing a green baseball cap otherwise she'd be a REDcap), a Nocker who doesn't seem as nice as Wudlig, Wudlig is covering his eyes with that mask thing this guy has his eyes open but looks HATEFUL... might also be the tatts on him that say 'Hate Wins'

It will be chance, but.. yes

Closer and closer Connor sneaks

closer and closer

"We need to focus, soon it won't matter. Hemlock loves Dame Kerri's pastries. We know WHEN he's coming by. We've got the bomb ready... when he approaches.. we hit the remote... and the count any anyone around him die!"

He freezes. This is Big Bad Big Big Bad Bad. Bigger bad than even Gerd getting hurt...

But Gerd is his SISTER.

What would Trolls do?!

The boggan looks over "The remote will work right?"

Does he SEE a remote?

Then the boggan blinks "I swear people need to keep their mutts on leashes"

The redcap turns "Want me to eat him?"

They think he's just a regular dog!

He snuffles the ground, and lifts a leg as if to tinkle on a nearby tree. Jack style!

And then starts shuffling off, moseying...

That does it. and besides, the nocker is offended, and pulls out the remote! "It's tested ... it's gonna work!" It looks like a silver TV remote

So they lose focus on him

That's what he waited for! He turns around three times, and snaps at his own tail! These guys are worse then fleas! And it's not his strongest suit, but he will try.... a cantrip!

The cantrip works... Shadowpaw magic wins again! And yoinks out of the nocker's loose grip!

He gives a jump, angling his tail just so for wind resistance, and snatches the remote from midair! Buddy's paws are already flashing even before he hits the ground - hotfooting it away! He whines - Gerd, I'm sorry! As he runs... leaving her behind...

Crashing through the brush, making plenty of noise to be followed.

"Get him!"

"It's a fucking pooka.. quicksilver me..."

and the race is on

Kwikslyver? that's CHEATSAUCE!

Unless he is doing it

The Red..eer greencap blazes after trying to catch him, but Connor has already doubled back and left a pooka shaped hole in bush before doing so.. .causing the Green cap to tear through the bush while he moves around the others who are moving slower but following her

and he makes his way back to Gerd

He immediately sets his teeth to the ropes on her hands, not changing back into Boy Form until these are loose and free!

If only he had been a Beaver pooka! Or a good ol' Woodchuck.

As he chews, he notices that she's been working the bindings hard, she's bleeding a bit at the wrists! Trying to get out

"Connor? Is that oh by the three fold is IS you" She says with relief. "Oh I am giving you such a steak when this is done... look.. if you can yank off my blind fold instead. I need to see the binds to flicker flash them"

Actually, it's more like 'Cnnf? Mthreffold... izu!" 'giveSTEAK... ynnmk Blinfol nsted...cbindsflickurflush"

but he has good canine hearing and is of a particularly intelligent breed mix

so he probably gets the message

He definitely heard STEAK

The ropes binding her hands come loose, but then she's trapped again, as he throws arms around her. "GERD I'M SORRY!"
