All of the strange faces that she received from the folk of Combe and Staddle gave Cerriel a feeling of something was off about trying to trap and capture a live skunk. When she did find the black and white, smelly animal, the Gondorian found out exactly why she received those looks when the animal turned away and lifted its tail. Something horrid and foul, worse than the most drunken old sailor could make, came out. Even Goat was avoiding her when she started running around the forest in a crazed manner.
"How do I get this smell off?" she muttered to the goat as she took off all of her clothes and leather armor. She was scrubbing herself with what soap she had. The former sailor even went into the marsh for a bit looking for something else that smelled foul to get rid of the skunk's.. whatever it was.
"Why did you not warn me, Goat?" Actually, when she thought about it, Goat did slowly back off from the animal when she first found it, "I apologize for shouting at you, Goat. I should have taking your warning."
Now with a sense of revenge, Cerriel untied her other bird cage and searched for the beast. With nothing else to lose, she went after the skunk as if she were fighting Corsairs off again. She fought and gagged though another round of this animal's wicked attack. She ran from the animal as it tried to counter. Eventually (and after having to jump into the lake a few more times), she captured the thing. Goat made her carry the thing back.
Now she had to manage sneaking the two animals into the Prancing Pony for her trick on Barliman.
((More to come when I do start this RP in game.))
