The Tree Trap

Bialer gets caught in a trap – a noose was lying on the path and he steps in it – he’s flung into the air and is hanging upside down. All his possessions fall to the ground in the process. Tyro attempts to climb the tree but doesn’t manage to get a grasp. He eventually manages to get up there taking a rope with him. After much deliberation they decide to cut through the rope while Bialer is holding one end and Dworin holds the other end along with Gus and Quinn. Tyro attempts to get down and is caught by Dworin.

The Ape

As they proceed along the path they see a knotted vine hanging from a tree on the left at the top of which is s tree house. An ape-like creature emerges and Tyro decides to climb up to him. He looks inside the tree house and sees a bed of sorts but nothing more so he climbs down and they move on. They continue walking and reach a set of crossroads.

Tyro’s excited after his encounter with the ape and is ready for an adventure. The group stops to eat and Bialer and Quinn go foraging while the others stay behind to prepare a fire and rest. While foraging they obtain 5 portions of food. They forage for another 2 minutes and obtain another 2 portions. They return to the camp where they all eat.

Time of day: past 12:00 (midday)

They decide to head west and come to a T junction. By now the trees have dwindled in numbers to be replaced by tall grass. They decide to head north and come to another fork in the path and decide to continue north along the path. They notice a flock of birds in the sky and Lady Amyra and Bialer recognise them as vultures. The rest of the party also recognise the birds.
