 The acha might look like he was only made for dancing, but he was made of something stronger. He never knew his parents, but his totoma head plate made it clear that one of his parents carried the blood of the northern warriors. He approached with a smile, ready to help move the log. He positioned himself accordingly and got ready to push.

15: snake skinMaple, saved from having to exert herself, directed the impromptu team relatively cheerfully. Once they got the log to Never Idle, she thanked them with a smile and a promise of an equal favor at a later date, should they choose to collect, but for now she really must continue with her work for this masked craftsman.
"Thanks again, boys," she called over her shoulder as she left in search of her third and final token for Never Idle. She passed by another snake skin - there seemed to be some very clever serpents in this area.(Thanks again, you two! Feel free to drag Maple into future roleplays if you need Maple's wisdom or some weird medicine or something.)

17: jellyfish migration
As she entered a small clearing, Maple caught a slow, faraway movement in the sky, and focused on it. A cloud of fanciful, luminous jellyfish were drifting by high overhead. Maple had never really thought about it before, but she and they had a lot in common - a gentle and soothing exterior that carried dangers hidden in plain sight. Many foolish kin had felt Maple's stings. Granted, the comparison would have been much more apt when she was younger. She supposed she looked much less misleading now.
Suddenly, Maple realized that she had been spacing out staring at jellyfish for the past fifteen minutes, and got on with her search.

26: old mare
Maple could not trespass in the territory of a cranky old mare because Maple was too busy being a cranky old mare returning to her home territory. She was fairly certain she had something here that she could give to Never Idle, if only she could find it. Hadn't she seen... ?

26: it's great for a snack, it fits on your back, it's log, log, LOG
Maple stopped and stared. While she had been away last night, a tree had come down right in front of her den, the thick, leafy boughs blocking the entrance. Had she been home, she would have been trapped. Shaken, she decided to get help for this later. She left to find more goods for Never Idle.

11: ankle-biter
Maple practically tripped over a stoat, enraging it into tearing up her ankles. Maple stomped its head in, ate it, and retreated to nurse her wounds.

12: red bird
The next morning, Maple killed and ate a bird for breakfast. She'd just about finished it before she noticed just what color its plumage was. She carefully set the best feathers aside, finished eating, and set out for Never Idle's headquarters, where she presented the lovely plumes with as much dignity and aplomb as she could muster at that early hour. With any luck, Maple's later request for a feathery accessory or several would be granted, her previous helpfulness and further generous, feathery donation swaying the venerable craftsman. And then, oh, would she look fine.
But first, she would need to get some help clearing the entrance to her home. Maybe that totoma-plated acha would be of some use, if she could find him again, or that buck with the interesting jaw. Perhaps even the hairy kiokote.
