>>5552978You advanced without problem through the titanic forests.
Strange sounds were always surrounding you and the priests frantically sang hymns of protection.
No one was sure if the gods would really look in your direction.
As far away as you were from the tomb of The Fallen Star or from the temples of his brothers.
This was territory of the All-Mother, a garden abandoned and taken over by maddening weeds.
Scout Kaine prided himself on his knowledge of nature.
He knew every feature of the many animals and monsters he had hunted or dodged throughout his life.
And he was the one who found strange the faint sound that periodically rumbled.
They were many strange noises from unknown animals, but this one sounded like explosions.
Reminding him of the weapons of an artificer or the Demon.
But it wasn't that either, it wasn't possible.
His remarks were relayed to the Noble, who immediately spiraled into paranoia.
The fear of the unknown exacerbated by sounds that seemed familiar.
And as you got closer to the sound source the fear spread.
Finally stopping when it sounded too close.
In front of you the undergrowth clears up,
there is a path available, something you did not expect since the plants behind you keep trying to crush each other.
Small craters in uneven ground are sprinkled between the bases of the trees.
and bits of unknown dead animals are occasionally seen.
At least until the roots drag them underground.
In the tops of these trees there are vines with what appear to be red fruits.
They look edible, but none of you are actually being deceived by the trap.
You can avoid avoiding this place, it would be a bit taxing, but you don't need to cross it.
Although it leaves you without trying to gain resources.
What will the expedition do?
