Though he didn’t quite manage to catch the scent as quickly as the others, upon approaching the forest Adam too became aware of the stench in the air. It was bad enough to give him pause and he could only imagine those with better senses had it much worse. Unfortunately the trees were dense enough that anything beyond the first couple dozen meters into the treeline was obscured. While he didn’t think it was the best idea to let three people with apparently no experience in stealth creep forward to scout ahead, he also couldn’t simply volunteer for every job. [color=f7941d]“Do as you wish,”[/color] he told the three before he turned to glance at what Marcus had noticed.

It was barely visible and Adam had to move forward to get a better look at it, but it seemed the red line continued on to encircle the entire treeline. With the number of possibilities this line could represent, Adam stepped away warily as he scanned the group’s surroundings once again. Although reluctant to do so, he was now inclined to simply circle around the forest if possible; his best guess was this was a mark of territory. With their current situation, they’d probably be at the whims of any decently equipped travellers they came across. [color=f7941d]“I'll check how far the forest stretches to the side, rather not encroach if it’s avoidable,”[/color] he told the others.
