Good point. I’ll root myself for the night
Reeta roots herself into the ground facing East, then sleeps

The camp was uneventful through the night. Comes morning the mercenaries departed with haste, leaving some bread and dried jerky for the party.

[invul_nerable]

Should I wake em up? the slayer thought. Naaah they'll be good bait.

[King Zultan]

Burt quickly begins packing his things as soon as he wakes up, while he was going to sit and look through his note book he sees that the armoured guy is awake and decides to see what he's doing but first grabs some of the bread and jerky left for them.

"So what's the plan for today are we still trying to get to that lake, and did you see that those guys left some food."

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes, we shall continue going to the lake, I can photosynthesize, so you two can have the food

[King Zultan]

"Okay lets get going then."

[Naturegirl1999]

Head North

[King Zultan]

Go with the others to the north.

Head North

Go with the others to the north.

The group travels north, soon arriving at another point of the river further northwest. On the other side of the running waters, visible discoloration of the trees and vegetation is noticeable--a reddish-brown hue shades the forest beyond the river, reminiscent of botanical rot and corruption. All seems quiet... when all of a sudden a few mandibeasts dragging what looks like fresh humanoid corpses across the noxious ground make their way across the forest, going deeper into the maroon distance. They don't seem to notice the group, going on their way as if on some kind of ghoulish mission.

"So guys should we follow them or should we kill 'em now and see if whoever they're dragging is still alive?"

[Naturegirl1999]

I think follow. Wherever they’re going might be the source of, or near the source of the rot

[King Zultan]

"Okay then lets get following, just gonna say that we might not be able to for very long as I don't think anyone in this group is very stealthy."
Follow the creatures and see where they go.

Finishing breakfast, the west group (Linea, Edwarg, Dixie, Jack, Dularach, Skye) soon continues on their way north towards the lake. As they proceed deeper into the forest, view of the tower slowly disappears behind them, its glory obscured by the gnarls of ever-thickening vegetation. The forest this far north seems to be getting denser and taller, taking on a primordial sort of appearance, and a growing humidity is slowly filling the air. Every so often, an unsettling tremor can be felt on the ground below, its source hopelessly concealed by the surrounding forestry. All else seems to be quiet though, other than the constant sound of Dularach rustling through the voluminous trees.

[Jack will examine the area for any new and tasty looking ingredients, and leans heavily on his hobo-senses for either anything lingeringly hostile, or that appears out of place.  Mama will look for anything that might actually be tasty to eat, and anything that smells suspicious.]

[A5G_Reaper]

Left undisturbed, the mandibeasts continued their travel northward until they disappeared into the corrupted treelines. Even from a distance the feeling of wrongness was pervasive, even to ones not magically attuned. It's difficult to imagine how much worse it'll be near the source.

After them?
