Onagella charges the nearest goblin, careful to avoid the grease patch. Attack roll 11+3+1+2=17
Sunshine moves forward ready to attack any goblin that attacks Onagella. As a side note, I had given sunshine Intx3 tricks. If she only knows two, then I'll trim my list.

Made both checks! Onagella growls "Sunshine. Goblins. Attack!" Handle Animal Skill roll 5+4=9 She readies her axe and advances on the nearest goblins. Over her shoulder she says "Find the fire and get it put out." I don't actually know what kind of action it is to command an animal. If I have time I will also attack this round (attack roll 2+4=6)

If you truly walk the path of the Provider you are one step ahead of me. Well I wouldn't claim an special holiness; I just do what i love, which happens to be working caravans. I work with animals, sometimes I hunt, I guard folks, and facilitate commerce. Seems to me, in my nonscholarly way, that I'm doing what Erastil wants. But that's not why I do it. It's just what I want to do. So I always say thanks to Erastil for the job, I guess. I'm called Onagella. I'd be happy to take you on as an assistant on a caravan, but I suspect you're seeking a different path. If you find it, follow it! If I see a priest of Erastil around, I'll steer him in your direction.

Tzoltan Devreen wrote: ["Are you an engineer? I've learned dwarf to read your engineering manuals. They're the best"] Onagella replies in her native tongue. "Engineer? Ha, only if you consider a mule an engine! I work Caravans. My father wanted me to be an engineer of course... I imagine yours wants you to be a drover?" Funny thing: I derived the name Onagella by feminizing/diminishing the latin word 'onager' which means wild donkey. It is also the name of a roman siege engine that kicked like a mule when fired. It kind of gives this conversation a double meaning...

Onagella wanders through the crowd after the ceremony, particularly looking for travellers. She inquires about conditions on the roads, and any caravans that may be leaving or arriving soon. She will give everyone a friendly smile, and chat with anyone who seems interested in doing so. She keeps Sunshine close by her. EDIT: To Vaclav: I believe that last fellow to speak at the ceremony was the high priest, although he is not particularly a follower of Erastil. I would be happy in joining you in paying my respects, although I usually express my faith by living as I feel Erastil desires, rather than ceremony. Meaning no disrespect, of course. EDIT: To Tzoltan: You look lost young man. I am astranger here myself, but I visit frequently. Can I help you find your way somewhere?
Onagella and Sunshine (her guard dog) rise early and stroll out along the cliff top, past the old light house and then down to the beach by the docks by the docks. She throws sticks for sunshine (who won't bring them back) for a bit, and then head along the docks area to the market. She will give a cheerful greeting to anyone she sees, especially travellers. She keeps an eye on what merchants are arriving and getting ready to leave, and will discuss job opportunities when possible. From there she will wander up fiestival way and check out the preparations, and then return to the inn for breakfast. She hopes to find a place to watch the festivities not far from the inn, and will be there 15 minutes before things start. Sunshine accompanies her to the festival as well. On her morning stroll, she carries all the equipment she normally carries on a trip (to keep up her fitness), but at the festival she will only have her axe and armour (she wants to maintain her image of competence in case there is a prospective employer), no shield or other weapons.
Here's my character, stats are in the profile. I still need to buy equipment and write her background. I'd like to buy a mule or donkey, but don't see a price. Eventually I'd like to have a mule or donkey as my animal companion, although they're a little weak compared to a warhorse. I'll get on that background and gear! Craig Shackleton,
