Niallus steps through the portal for his part of the race. he felt the difference almost immediately in temperature. Even without his coat, he's feeling the heat. Looking around to get his bearings in the bamboo forest, its rather dark with very little light. [i]I must have missed the part where they mentioned it was going to be dark. This may complicate things. [/i] he takes a deep breath, focusing, trying to sense of what's around him, some dangerous predators like, snakes and alligators. nothing too dangerous as long as he avoids them, as long as they don't seem to be threatened. Speaking of which wasn't he supposed to partnered up with someone?
"Where is my partner? I might have to talk to some locals, see if anyone has seen them." Using his Arcane magic to summon one of his swords of light, using it as a makeshift torch. he makes his way to a village.
[hr]
While getting closer to the village, he didn't want to be seen as a threat so undone his magic. Hopefully he'll be able to find his partner, her name is Enoxi'asha'luunetar. so hopefully she'll be able to stand out. a female voice comes from the right of him.
looking over he sees a petite Yasoi flirting with one of the islanders, [i]That must be her. or she's a lost child. [/i] "Excuse me, are you Enoxi'asha'luuntar?" she turns her head in response, "Hey handsome, you must be Niallus my partner for capturing the Djamantese Micropigs?" he nods. the islander looks at both Niallus and Enoxi, "If you are both here to help deal with pigs, I'll happliy provide information." he clears his throat then continues, "Those little pests have been destroying our crops, we've tried setting traps with cages but they keep evading them." Niallus and Enoxi already knew this, but it never hurt to gather info from the locals. Enoxi undressing the islander with her eyes, it was kind of unsettling. trying to get back on topic Niallus asks the islander for information.
"Can you tell where there is an open field, as well as a tarpit is? also I'll like to borrow five of your cages please." 
"Eh?!" Enoxi piped up. "We are here to capture them, not sightsee. Unless you have a plan?" the islander is confused by Niallus question, but answers. "There's a small open area about five minutes away to the north and the closest tarpit is 10 mins in the west of us"
Niallus thanks the islander for the advice and the cages, then walks away, while Enoxi puts the charm back on. "Now that he gone let's get back to what we were saying." moving in closer to the islander, walking two of her fingers up his chest. Suddenly she feels something grab her by the back of her collar.
"Come on, let's go. You can flirt later." Naillus says dragging Enoxi away with him, she's complaining at being dragged away.

While walking through the forest, sweat coming off Niallus's face, as a Eskand he wasn't used to this sort of weather. However it wasn't but he wouldn't of mind taken his shirt off in an attempt to cool off, but there was no telling what Enoxi would do. At the moment she kept close so she didnt get lost since Niallus was using one of arcane swords as a light source once again. Along the way, the preperation took a bit longer that expected. The plan; head to the Tarpit and dip an arcane sword into the tar, from there he'll carry it back to the open area and spread it onto the floor with some of the carrots from the inventory at the centre, using Enoxi's Chemical magic on some stone to create the illusion that theres more carrots. So, while waiting, they decided to look for some treasure. they stook close to together, since it would only waste time if they got lost and trying to regroup. Enoxi was the first to find an item which was a pitchfork, it was a bit odd finding it out in the middle of the forest. While walking back to where the trap they could hear squeals of panic, thats a good sign. three pigs were stuck in tar in an attempt to eat the carrot bait.
"Yay it worked!" Enoxi shouted getting three cages from under some shrubbery.
"Three out of five isn't bad." Niallus pinned a pig down with one hand, grabbing a bottle of water, he washed the tar off the pigs so they were unharmed then they placed them into the cages. 
[hr]
They went off again to look around for some more treasure. Eventually they came across a dead poacher, the only thing that was salvageable was some AAA+ Djamantese Micropigs pelts that Niallus took [i]No idea what I'm going to do with these, but it's better than nothing. [/i] they came back to the trap and another two pigs were caught. After they were caged that was all five needed to finish the race, so Enoxi grabbed two cages while Niallus grabbed the other and made their way to the drop off.
