Things had not been easy though, goblins are sly and crafty creatures. They made good use of the dense forest to hide their movements, making it difficult to track them down and locate their base. Additionally, goblins had a penchant for traps, Ella nearly found herself ensnared on a number of occaisions, even falling into a pit trap at one point. Though her wings made the pit sort of a non-issue. It was really too bad the forest was as dense as it was. It made it impossible for Ella to fly normally, making her scouting job much more difficult, tedious, and dangerous.
Finally, after two weeks of combing the forest, she had located the goblin camp. Right now she sat on the outskirts of the goblin, out of sight and earshot of the slavers, planning her move. She knew from her recon work that there were three large tents and a single, larger, lodge building. She had not been able to get close enough to tell what was inside of any of the constructs, but she assumed the goblins used them for sleeping and the lodge as a slave compound. She also knew that at this time, a number of goblin parties would have gone off to do various things, leaving only ten of the demon-kind in the camp. She was quite confident she could take on those numbers.
Right now, she could see three goblins patrolling the camp on separately, though she couldn't be sure if the remainder were in the tents or the lodge building. Fortune was with her, however, as one of the three goblins stopped fifteen feet away, with his back turned to her, seemingly unaware of her presence. One of his cohorts was a good fifty feet off, too far in the forest to be aware of anything if she pulled a sneak attack on the one closest, the third goblin had gone behind the lodge and was out of her sight for the moment. If she wanted to take out the goblin in front of her, now was as good a time as any. If she wanted to recon the camp more first, she would either need to sneak away from the goblin, or wait for him to move.

But it had not lasted for long. After only a couple of months, someone tipped off the temple, and several priests had come to the village not long after. She had been spotted, and was forced to run off into the woods, the priests, thugs rather in this case, in hot pursuit.
As she ran through the woods, Rosa had her full inventory, and roughly a 100 foot lead on the men chasing her. It would be possible for her to fight the men, though three at once seemed rather risky. She had a sizeable lead, and rudimentary knowledge of the forest in this area, so she could also try to hide somewhere. The forest was pretty dense, so that could potentially work. A third option was to hide and try to ambush the three men when they got closer. Of course these were only some of the options available to her, if she thought of something better she could try that as well. Or she could always give herself over to the men...maybe they would be merciful?
Sorry to just dump you guys into combat situations right off, but this was the best way I could think of to bring you guys together. As for the terrain for the forest, its dense, lots of trees, heavy foliage, small gulleys, rocky outcroppings, small creeks. All kinds of stuff to hide in, around, or on. This is mostly for Rosa's benefit, so you know what you have to work with if you want to hide. As for Ella, the perimeter of the camp is pretty heavily forested, inside the camp isn't as bad, but it still wouldn't be a good idea to fly in it.
