Welcome to Gaia! ::

The young Queen nudged her bonded as the two (one groaning at having to get wet while being out here) sloshed into the stream and over to the other side. Narisa herself thanked Pipith as Cepheith spotted what Asoth had. A second gouge in the ground, almost like something had been digging. She swiveled her head around to take a look around them, but saw nothing. But where she saw nothing, Pipith seemed to have spotted a trail. The gold pair started to follow the others down the trail, Narisa keeping one hand on Cepheith at all times as the fog rolled in again.

At the shriek, Cepheith hissed, wings flaring out a little and keeping Hers close. A very faint bit of white started to tint her eyes as well. Narisa jumped, giving herself a minute to lower her heart rate before rubbing Cepheith's neck to calm her.

S'koi did not like the sound of that shriek, and he and Laith quickened their pace to get closer to the group. It seemed that they had crossed a small stream... Perhaps they were getting close to whatever it was they were seeking. Let us get closer in to the others, Laith. We won't be of much help to them from back here. The green agreed, and they continued their near-silent trek through the forest.

It seems that S'kiro and Neptanth just happened to look in the right direction, although anywone else in the group whose sweeping gaze turned towards the sound would be unlikely to miss the hulking shadowy form that seemed to be hiding out underneath some low slung bushes. However as people approach the form or seem to eye it to closely it shrinks back into the brush with a few annoyed clicking sounds.

((Congrats to Silver for another point! Everyone roll another d100!))

S'kiro and Neptanth were surprised to find something in the bushes. They caught themselves on making a loud announcement and the blue sent out a message to the rest. The young rider watched as it shrank back when approached or looked at too closely. Vaugley he remembered a time at the Beastcrafter hold when they needed to round up a frightened one.

He looked at his flits, wondering if they would understand his suggestion. He rubbed the little golds eye ridges and sent her the image of her and the boys going around it like they were hunting. They disappeared and he prayed that it worked, other wise they would be back in the barracks, mad at him. "Was that wise? They could be hurt or worse." Worry in his tone for his small cousins.

((Jet forgot to roll again cause she's semi-distracted with a moody kid lol, will roll now and just pretend she rolled when she posted. No worries if you already posted and rolled those rolls still count lol))

Relys and Relysk had followed behind everyone else. The riders were doing a good enough job of tracking it without him. He did try to get a glimps of the creature though it hid well.

Hey! Hey, where was it going?! How dare it not listen to him, and...and steal a log! Pipith left it to his rider to wonder why the creature had stolen the log while he attempted to give chase - hindered not only by the fact that he'd put himself in front of others, which meant he was now behind them, but also by the terrain itself. Being big (relatively speaking) had certain disadvantages!

While agreeing with Narisa, it seemed the being disappeared on them. His flits returned, sending images of the log moving. S'kiro turned around to look for the long. Neptanth turned to listen to the branches snapping. "Mine, to the WEYR! Hurry. The blue started moving past the others, he was intent on getting this thing before it got close to the Weyr.

S'kiro ran to the blue's side. "My dear, we can't just rush into it. We need to plan with the rest."
