[tightens the strap on his backpack] You guys got everything?

[birdonawire]

You know it.

[bouncing a little on the balls of his feet. SO EXCITED]

[halfcrocked]

All set.

[has a new bow with a nice full quiver and everything.]

[backinaflash]

[checking his ammo and his knife, before grinning up at you guys]

Sweet. Let's get going.

[birdonawire]

[ONWARD... TO OUTSIDE /o/]

[fuckingnature]

[ OUTSIDE... The morning mist is still hanging around and it sure is still raining out here. ADVENTURE WEATHER. ]

[halfcrocked]

[WELL THAT MEANS VISIBILITY SUCKS...

knocking an arrow preemptively.]

[backinaflash]

[keepin' his gun out, also pulling his goggles down and cycling through modes to try and get an idea of if there's anything nearby]

[birdonawire]

[caution is for chumps. he's hopping ahead a few branches, just happy to be back on his feet again]

[fuckingnature]

[ It's no more spooky than usual with the mist twining all through the branches and the thick branches and greenery making it difficult to make out heat signatures. But there are some, higher up and ahead. ]

[backinaflash]

[quietly] There's something up ahead. Want to head down or go after it?

[birdonawire]

[ssstops, crouched on a branch]

We could check it out. It's probably not a tree crocodile.

[halfcrocked]

Might as well.

[follows Wally's gaze, then starts casting around for a good vantage point...]

[fuckingnature]

[ It doesn't move, and the closer you get to it the more it looks like just one big blob of... heat. ]

[backinaflash]

...Huh. I don't think it's really doing much of anything...

[birdonawire]

Maybe it's asleep. Maybe I can poke it.

[hoppin' thataway]

[halfcrocked]

...Only you.

[doot doot ready to line up a shot if necessary]

[backinaflash]

Dude, don't get eaten again.

[fuckingnature]

[ As you approach the source of the heat, the mist clears away to reveal a large... blob... of green moss and leaves and branches. Moss pile. Big moss pile. ]

[birdonawire]

I didn't get eaten before. Just kinda chewed on.


... is this our toasty friend?

[as promised, pokes it with a stick]

[fuckingnature]

[ The pile expands out a little where Robin pokes it, then sinks back in. ]

[birdonawire]

Eeeeew.

[does it again]

[fuckingnature]

[ It expands bigger this time, the faint sound of a hum underneath all that moss starting up. ]

[backinaflash]

...Careful, dude.

[halfcrocked]

[i am completely prepared to shoot this thing in its...

somewhere

if necessary.]
