(I MADE IT, Take that people who thought i would die!)
Have dreams of revenge.
[will:1]
You have dreams of being punched repeatedly in the scrotum. It's like high school all over again; god, those teachers were mean.
Drag Grab camera from Travis over to film something, muttering "gimme that." Activate kinetic amp, punch ground to create tremor near one of the foot-wide pits (and not any of the larger specimens).
Stand back, observe.
[uncon:6]
You set the camera a good dozen feet from where you're going to be punching and then set yourself a good dozen feet from the pit, just in case. You square yourself, draw your arm back and strike the ground with all the force in your arm combined with your body weight. The result is a blast that digs a 4 foot deep crater, sprays absolutely everyone with sand and hurls you ass over teakettle for a half dozen feet.
[end:6]
You land on your feet, salute the non-existent judges, and take a bow. Your teammates seem quite impressed. Or annoyed. Hard to tell with the faceplates and all.
The sound within the pit, a soft tick tick ticking before the punch, has become a frenzied, chitterling hiss and a heavy chink chink chink, like a chisel biting into granite. And it's getting louder.
Keep walking towards the next area, keep alert for any strange sounds. Follow Travis in his explorations before going back to the path. Activate EMM if needed.
The horrible hissing and clicking sound thats rapidly growing closer as it surges up one of the pits certainly qualifies as a "strange sound." It also qualifies as a "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO?!" sound.
Stop and listen. Wasn't there some sound that didn't belong? Try to determine its origin.
Lets see here. The horrible cacophony of something sharp clicking against something hard and the unearthly screaming all point to the pits. So probably the pits.
"Endless pits and endless sand. A part of me feels the sand is coming up from somewhere else in the pitted lands, otherwise we would have noticed the sand moving from the forest. There has to be a flow somewhere"
Travis tries to get a sense of where the source of the sand is. He starts at the edge of a pit, and follows the flow of sand as far back as he can, being careful not to fall into the pits or exit the light bubble. If he does this with multiple pits, he should find some central source or direction. He hands Faith the camera and follows Milno.

[intuition:5]
You follow the flows of sand around for a bit but can't find the source of the sand. You stop looking stand around for a moment, thinking, before an idea comes to mind. You hold your hand up for a few seconds and observe it. A few very fine grains of sand collect in your palm, like raindrops. You can't see them fall-maybe something to do with the light- but you can see them after they've collected on your hand.
>Also halt and listen, remaining still and silent.
>Keep hand near hat incase I need a quick-draw.
You also hear the unholy din that Faith has managed to summon.
Air, soil samples. Keep saber at ready, keep listening.
"I uh, heard something out there. It has claws of some sort. Be careful."
You take samples of the air and soil as you listen for anything unusual. The legions of hell that faith apparently summoned from one of those pits certainly qualifies as unusual in your mind.
