[quote=@King Cosmos] Okay runts, what kind of preparations do we want to make outside the cave before the fight? We could all just lie in wait and ambush whatever's coming out, and that's probably what I'll do with Akeno since she doesn't have any expertise in this area, but if anyone has any ideas for traps, tripwires or anything else then she can help with that. [/quote] Well, since it'll probably take too long for more sophisticated traps like a pit with spikes at the bottom, any traps we can set will likely be very simple and will probably depend on what we will even be able to find in the area. I like the idea of using vines to make a tripwire, but depending on if we'll be able to find any, we might also be able to use a long stick/branch for the job as well? Otherwise, the only other, kind-of feasible trap idea that I have will likely result in a large forest fire, so it's probably best to avoid that one. Maybe us runts could try to cover ourselves with the Rotleaves to mask our scent? Maybe the ones staying outside could also try to work on some kind of camouflage to further surprise our prey? What do the rest of you think? [quote=@Crusader Lord] Well, I will be posting tomorrow with Lazash who is one of the two inside of the cave right now. Likely going to use her identification skill to try to see what this thing is. Otherwise whether the thought of 'fire bolt go boom' or something else occurs will be up to her thinking on the matter. Because she and Vola are only so far into the cave thus far, and all we've seen is a big bug. :hmm [/quote] I'll start working on my post tomorrow as well. We should also try to grab some of those mushrooms. They're either edible, delicious, have medicinal properties or they might be used to make poison. Speaking of the bug though, do we attack, or should we hold off for now to try and see if any other critters are living there?
