@TinyKiwi sounds good! I'm not saying you need to change your Pokemon entirely, just differentiate them from Craven. And please let me know about the question I asked, thank you!
Alright, my post is up. In my PMs with xenon, he encouraged me to "invent/explore/create within the parameters I'm establishing." Therefore, I did my best to describe terrain and circumstances that would give my fellow players things to write about and react to while leaving things flexible enough for the GM to add to if he wants. If something needs to be changed, I absolutely encourage xenon to PM me about it, but I did my best to "push the envelope" and I hope my writing contributes to a fun writing experience for you all. If it did not, I apologize in advance.
Adam was grateful that everyone seemed to be coming together as a team so quickly and effectively. James' quick tactical thinking, Fenna's scouting ahead and MacKensie maintaining vigilance from above combined with his own navigational skills to bring everyone to the beginning of The Mazy Hillocks intact and unharmed. The gratitude turned to intimidation, however, as the man saw just what they would be dealing with; a great natural maze, made up of all kinds of obstacles to their progress. Honestly, he was kind of amazed at the landscape he could see. This world was clearly nothing like Earth, for such things to even be possible.

But this wasn't the time to act like a tourist. The lives of his teammates and himself were on the line and the Druid did not intend to lose them. First, he took the time to compare what was before him to what was on the map. The navigation device was much simpler than what nature had created, but there were parts where he could match one to the other. A few notable elevation changes and terrain features could be seen on the map. In particular, there was a tall, large tree that looked like a hook that seemed to be near the southeast border of the Hillocks and a steep gorge that appeared to be made out of a tough rock accented by different sharp-looking boulders that was on the southwest border. Adam definitely did not want to see if the rocks were as dangerous as they looked, but the feature and the tree could be used as reference points to figure out where the southern boundaries of the Hillocks were in front of him. It wouldn't be perfect and he'd still need to use all his skills to get the group through, but it was a good start, and he could use the reading on his compass just then as a further point of reference. Just then, Joji asked a relevant question:

“Is there a way we can get around this thing?”

Adam shook his head, wishing his answer could be different. "I'm afraid not, not without backtracking and losing a ton of time on our trip." The part about potentially letting whatever the Witch Queen may have sent after them get more time to find them did not need to be said, if only for Lillianna's sanity. "Oh, by the way; be very careful, everyone. If the entire place is like the best entrance to it, The Mazy Hillocks is going to be difficult terrain." There were multiple options to choose from, so the more judgemental of the team might have wondered why the man had chosen the westernmost one, a path that went along the eastern side of the gorge. Fenna and anyone else who had listened to his plan for directions earlier would know that the Druid was going west along the Hillocks because it was the quickest path on the map and that climbing up a rocky cliffside was involved. One could reasonably infer that the similar rocky terrain would mean that they were going in the right direction to find that cliff.

It wasn't easy hiking like before; once the gorge disappeared behind them, the group had to deal with terrain that constantly shifted up and down along with seemingly changing from hard rock to soft sand and back again in rapid succession. One could easily see how a person could break their ankle, then succumb to whatever beasts lived in the Hillocks. All the while, Adam kept the group as close to the west side of the area as possible.

However, even this pace would not last. The team eventually came upon what at first looked like a dead end. Straight ahead, in the direction the team had been going, was another gorge that looked like the one from earlier. At first it would seem like the team would have to turn around, but if one looked further ahead, they could see the path continue on the other side. An ominous sound from the way they came, something that sounded like a dark roar, encouraged them to go in that direction as well. The red-eyed man examined his surroundings, finding a small patch of dirt near the group that seemed to transition to the rocky surface of the gorge, and began casting upon it. Four trees, each the width of a person, began growing out of the ground next to each other. They grew horizontally towards the other side of the pit, eventually creating an impromptu bridge that would allow the group to get across safely. Two were right beside each other to provide a walking surface while the other two were angled to provide a sort of railing for whoever was using it. It wasn't elegant, but it would hold up to the strain of the group crossing, two people each. Adam had taken extra time to be sure the root systems of the plants were strong enough to carry that sort of weight. He also made sure that thick and sturdy branches were sticking out at appropriate intervals so that people could hold onto them for extra support.

"Okay, so we can get across this way, but not all at once. It can only hold two at a time, so we'll need to take turns crossing it. I'll go first with someone so I can reinforce the bridge at the other side. I feel repetitive saying this, but please be careful." Finishing his statement, the Druid began slowly crossing the trees, helping whoever decided to join him across the way. Once they succeeded, he would create thick roots to provide extra structural integrity for what stood between The Heroes From the Sky and a steep drop onto the ground. Adam just hoped that nobody would have to experience that fall firsthand.
@TinyKiwi your interest in the RP is appreciated! The amnesia-esque idea is interesting. I am wondering though, how did a Ralts make it to Viridian City, and why wouldn't a breeder want a shiny Ralts? If you want to reveal those details via PM, that's fine.

Also, two shy characters is fine, but I don't want them to be carbon copies of each other either. Blueberry seems to be pretty similar to Craven in that regard, so I just want to be sure they're both unique in their own way. Maybe they can have a bond over their similar nature, which would be interesting.
Welcome back, enjoy your time here!
@Such A Birch looks good to me! You can post him in the Characters tab and I'll send you a link to the Discord server.
Cool! I'll send each of you a link!
@Crimson Flame and @Dragonfly 9 did you want to use Discord for communication or just the OOC here? If so, I have a server that I can send you both a link to. Either way is fine, just let me know!
Adam was happy that Fenna supported his plan, and of course it would make sense to adjust the plan as needed based on the circumstances at the time. "Of course, thank you Fenna" he said in response to her. Focused as he was on planning the route, the man didn't do much else besides refill his canteen before the group set off on the path he had chosen.

And so far, it had been fairly uneventful. With Fenna scouting and himself making sure their travel was going according to plan, there hadn't been any impediments to their path so far. Really, so far he had seen the same tranquil sights as yesterday. Not that the Druid minded at all, but he knew in the back of his mind that this couldn't last forever. That was why he tried to stay near the middle of the group, ready to engage in battle if the need arose. Zell's formation made sense, despite the guy himself confusing the red-eyed man, so he would do the best he could to adhere to it.

"I don't think skeletons will be our only concern. I saw an animal run away that was large enough to be a concern if there are more of them."

And she was correct. There was potential for a fight ahead with some wolves, and while Adam knew he could navigate the team through the outdoors, he wasn't prepared to lead them into a battle. And Lillianna's announcement that the enemy might know where they were wasn't a random guess; the man had thought such a thing was possible the day before. There was a great deal going on here and if the group was going to survive, they would have to work as a team.

"Yes, we have a lot to be concerned by. The wildlife and maybe the Witch Queen knowing where we are could be short term dangers to us." Saying this, Adam nodded at Lillianna in a sign of support. "So we'll need to work together if we're going to succeed." Saying this, he turned to face James and asked him a question. "As the one who probably knows more about strategy than anyone else here, what do you think we should do?"
@Crimson Flame that is fair! I didn't know Clefairy had so many. She is approved, move her to the Characters tab whenever you are ready!
