You don't mess with the Wodewose Posse

What on earth was that ooser doing in the woods? Surely they're meant to live in Dorset? Or did the Archdruid accidentally bring one back from Wessex with her?
Anyway, they're not as bright as they might be. They may be scary with horned heads, but they don't have the sense not to attack other mythical creatures. Especially when I do have this rather substantial club. And that's ignoring the noble way the rabbits jumped up and bit him in the ankles.

So, he's headed off towards Ridgmont, so good luck to him and them. But one thing worries me.
You think about it: "wose", "ooser"... in an English language notorious for adding and subtracting the letter "w"  when it precedes an "o". You don't suppose he's a cousin, do you?
