[Just checking Iorveth's sympathy meter, okay.] It might have been for a better cause than what's at the castle.

Feeding the hungry versus feeding the powerful.

[seidhe]

[ it is at a healthy -75%, which is totally normal for iorveth. ]

A pointless cause that will change little.

[gwynbleidd]

[He thinks that's funny coming from Iorveth, but doesn't dare say anything aloud because he'd rather not have the elf being bitter after hearing that he thought the Scoia'tael cause was a little pointless.

Well, not the cause so much as the execution.] You'll have to find another forest.

I think this one means to kill us.

[seidhe]

[ GERALT THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAUSE AND YOU KNOW IT.

iorveth sniffs, gaze moving behind them at the distant sounds of howling. the rest of the pack will find their fallen brethren soon, by that time they should be far from the forest. ]

All forests mean to kill the unwary, witcher. This one is hardly special.

[gwynbleidd]

[Have you SEEN THIS PLACE, IORVETH? HARDLY SPECIAL, HE SAYS. And then they are both suddenly devoured by a restless and angry forest covered in shadow.

He looks again over his shoulder to scan the area behind them.] Then one with less giant wolves.

[seidhe]

[ IT IS A FUCKING FOREST WITH TREES AND MONSTERS, like a slightly deadlier forest than then his own outside flotsam. ]

Very well. [ you fussy shit. ]

[gwynbleidd]

[He is just trying to keep you from being eaten, okay. Or strangled. Or chewed. Or cursed.

Speaking of cursed, this all looks oddly familiar, and feels oddly wrong. He slows to a stop, purposefully blinking since the Cat elixir hasn't worn off yet.

He can see the beginnings of a clearing ahead, the obvious exit, but he swears he saw the same thing a few minutes ago.] Haven't we been here already?

[seidhe]

[ dammit geralt he trusted you to lead the way!

iorveth looks over geralt's shoulder, single eye narrowing to scrutinize the foliage ahead and surrounding them. ]

Geralt, tell me we haven't been walking in bloody circles.

[gwynbleidd]

Not circles. [Sorry, his medallion hadn't been humming; there's no magic! He hadn't thought they would be walking endlessly! It is strange to see the opening so clearly, yet never reach it.] We should've have been closer by now.

[He lowers his voice.] It doesn't want us to leave.

[seidhe]

[ geralt might feel a glare borrowing into the back of his head, that might be because of iorveth. because seriously, seriously he was doing fine before you stumbled along and now they are apparently trapped in a forest that doesn't want to let them leave. ]

This better not be some sort of jest.

[gwynbleidd]

[If an elf and a witcher get lost in a forest, would anyone hear them?

He is considering this possibility, however. That maybe he is the cause of the odd turn around they are experiencing, but perhaps Iorveth just had not tried to leave yet to realize. Now the question is: how do you trick a forest into letting you leave it?

The edges of his vision are growing black and hazy; Cat is wearing thin, almost gone. He turns to look at Iorveth, and then double takes just to the side. Carefully, he regards the floating orb of soft light a few feet off, unsure if trusting it would lead them out or get them more lost. Will'o Wisps in the Kingdoms didn't have very good reputations usually.]
