The wild-haired woman frowns at the small trail left behind by whatever struggle had taken place. It'd taken her more than she expected to find it, and the blood had already cooled by the time she made it to where the small animal had let out it's final squeal... but, though the trail would be rough to follow, it was- indeed- better than nothing.
She pushes her way through the brush, a determined glint in her eye as she examines even the tiniest details, determined to make whatever predator it was that had been here earlier her prey.

You spy a splash of blood on a single yellow leaf on the ground. When you examine it, the blood looks fresh. Strangely there are no trees in the area with such distinctly golden foliage, but this is still excellent evidence of an animal's trail… isn't it?
After some time of continued searching, however, you are forced to come to the conclusion that you've been waylaid by a prankster — or an unnaturally clever fox.
You lose two points this turn.

The forest is quiet; by now most of the birds have migrated south, and the only sounds you've heard for the past several minutes are the rustling of the breeze in the trees, the plop of acorns falling, the quiet scraping rustle as a leaf descends to the forest floor, and the occasional rasp of a squirrel gnawing on a nut's shell in the distance. It is peaceful — or, depending on your character's preferences, a little eerie.
The shrill, almost-human scream of a rabbit's death cry shatters the silence. Once you've taken a moment to recover (or, if you're a badass mofo, coolly evaluate the situation) you head in the scream's direction. It could be the work of a hawk, but there's still a good chance a fox is nearby.
You win three points this turn.

The footing is poor here, and you trip over a root hidden beneath several years' worth of fallen leaves. You manage to catch yourself against a tree before you fall, but the rough bark leaves painful, stinging abrasions across your palm. This may put you at a slight disadvantage.

The earth is damp and in some places unstable. When you are forced by the dense, thorny undergrowth to step near a creek-bed, the ground gives out beneath you and you're dashed painfully against the rocks. It takes you some time to pull yourself upright and sort out your wet and muddy clothing. A salamander watches you the whole time.

Just as easily riled as he was flustered, Kozel drew himself up with a hard frown on his burning face and readied to tell Zharkov off as harshly and as seriously as he possibly could while still delicately cradling an adorable bunny, but his embarrassed anger was tamed immediately, replaced by a spark of hope, once the other man remarked on the area. The trick worked.
"...Ah, now that you mention it, this does look familiar," Kozel answered in lighter spirits, looking to where Zharkov directed, and he may very well have believed in his own lie. Every other part of the forest looked exactly the same to him, after all. "Very well! Do try to keep up," he taunted cheerily, moving on ahead at a bit-too-quick pace just to spite his injured comrade.
Kozel's confident striding brought him straight into a clearing, and he would have cut on through and continued his childish ditching if not for a sudden, peculiar feeling settling on him and slowing him down. He paused, maybe just a little spooked, when the usually unusually-docile rabbit suddenly came alive and started kicking in his grasp.
Choking back a surprised cry, now thoroughly spooked, Kozel turned quickly on his heel and rushed out of the clearing, nearly crushing the rabbit with how hard he was hugging it to himself in an effort to keep it from escaping. Realizing his mistake, he shamelessly fled back to Zharkov, trying not to look too rattled once he was back in his sights. "No, not that way, my mistake!"

Zharkov's brows had lifted as he watched the man puff up angrily, biting back a grin as he braced himself for an angry little lecture, no doubt one that would detail the foolishness of taking animals from the woods. Thankfully, his own comment would be the one to rescue him from Kozel's agitation, and he chuckled softly as the fib inspired a bit of renewed hope.
"Da, pretty familiar. We might be close." He observed, lying further and watching Kozel tromp off through the brush. "Do not get too far ahead, or you will have no one to protect you!" Zharkov taunted back, following carefully as he slipped past the bushes and trees. It was hard to keep his eyes cast downwards to watch his step, because the mist in the trees was quite the interesting sight.
That would be his downfall, unfortunately. He picked his gaze up for only a few steps before it seemed that both his walking stick and feet had become tangled, and he stumbled with a grunt of surprise. He lost hold of the stick, and cursed as he half-slammed into a tree, just barely catching himself. The hawk wriggled in his grasp for a moment, offering up a quiet keen in its momentary distress before being shushed by the man.
"That was close." Zharkov huffed in exasperation as he looked at his hand, all scraped up from where he'd caught himself. At least he had not fallen and injured the bird. He stooped to grab his walking stick again, and peered off through the trees for Kozel.

Euphemia was still a bit shaken after that encounter with the injured, stubborn kingshawk. She had wanted so badly to help it, but it had simply refused to come to neither her nor Felix. And physically dragging it down out of the tree would have been not only difficult, but most likely also traumatizing for the poor bird. And that would really only make things worse.
So here they were again, Euphemia trailing a few feet behind Felix as they traipsed through the woods, in search of anything resembling a fox. That was their end goal, but Euphemia would be happy to bring anything back. Though now that she thought about it, she wouldn't kill it either way. Felix would. Well, that was a bit depressing. But she could still be part of the hunt, right? Sure! Daphne seemed to sense her realization and nuzzled into the palm of her hand, a rare moment of sympathy from the spoiled princess.

Conri came upon the skeleton unflinchingly. It was unnerving with the mist and rose, but it was hardly something that he would be nervous or scared about. He had been raised on stories of the creeping dark and blood. He went around it, careful not to disturb the careful, morbid placement of the tableau.

You are distracted while walking or riding by a sharp, musky odor unlike the crisp scent of the leaves underfoot. After a moment you identify a suspect-looking stain darkening the roots of a nearby tree. You bend down to sniff it... yes, that's definitely fox urine. Excellent find!
