[color=brown]"Looks like we'll 'ave to get past these thorny brambles if we wanna reach the balloon."[/color] Brutrumukk said as he put the raft aside, set Jub down on the ground, and drew his hand axe. [color=brown]"This shouldn't take too long."[/color]

With axe in hand, Brutrumukk set upon the brambles. Within six seconds, most of the thorny thicket was gone. Within six seconds more, the work was complete.

[color=brown]"Job done!"[/color] Brutrumukk declared. [color=brown]"Come on then. Let's go see wha-"[/color]

"Watch out! Behind you!" A voice suddenly called out.

[color=brown]"Eh?"[/color] Brutrumukk said in confusion as he looked up at the balloon's basket, where the voice seemed to stem from. After taking a moment to process the unexpected occurrence, Brutrumukk did as the voice instructed and turned to look behind him... Where two giant constrictor snakes were glaring at the bugbear with a drowsy fury he was all too familiar with.

[color=brown]"...Oh bugger."[/color]
