Oh it's a sky. Hello as well though.

RIP for not reading through and just skimming.

Frankly Nova’s idea was far from desirable for a number of reasons, but Adam didn’t bother to voice his thoughts. The girl was already pretty confrontational with Rika who had responded to her suggestion, and adding in his thoughts might just very well set her off on her own path. Which would be fine with him really, if it weren’t for the fact that they were apparently no longer alone. There might have been whispers intermixed with the gentle breeze that rolled from the vast plains at their backs, but hell if Adam was certain. Still, there wasn’t any real reason for Rae to lie and her ears twitched occasionally as if to better pick up the sounds. If Nova pissed off whatever resided in the forest he wasn’t all too optimistic that he and the others wouldn’t naturally follow as further targets.

Hopefully the two girls wouldn’t stay too confrontational, but then again it was a rather stressful situation; people were bound to butt heads, hell it’d already happened. “Sure.” He watched as Marcus marked their position with a planted branch just shy of the red line with a nod before he bent down and picked up his own decently sized branch. It was a bit more curved than he would have liked, but better than his fists and it would work decently as a walking stick. The dry bark crumpled around his grip to reveal solid wood beneath and he took a few experimental steps to get a feel for walking with it. It felt pretty smooth though, so without further ado he set off at a brisk pace compared to before, opposite of Marcus.

The treeline continued on relatively straight for quite some time, before it suddenly bulged out into the grassy plain. A glance behind him showed that the others were still in sight, if just barely, and he scanned the forest for a moment before he pressed onward. Not too surprisingly the moment he was around that portion of the forest and unable to see the others, Adam felt the air weigh down on him. Was he nervous? Oh yeah and the goosebumps that formed all over his body were a dead giveaway. Nonetheless he propped the branch up on a shoulder and began to retrace his path, eyes scanning his surroundings at the same time.

Nope, am RIP. Will try to post this evening.

Right, and Adam will be heading off to the left if either of the three want to tag along with him instead. He'll probably be a bit annoyed, but hey, such is Adam.

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. “Do as you wish,” 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. “I'll check how far the forest stretches to the side, rather not encroach if it’s avoidable,” he told the others.

Eh... it shouldn't be that late yet given it's only been a couple hours since the characters awoke which was in the morning, but whatever.

Well… Adam supposed the situation and skill set could be worse. He hadn’t expected Rae to be all that knowledgable given her reaction to all this. He’d thought Nova’s aloof act might have been born from confidence, but there was apparently nothing to back that up with. Her knowledge might prove unexpectedly useful; after all they already had a lamia, elf, and fox girl, so running into even more exotic creatures was hardly unthinkable. “You’ve got good ears apparently?” he pointed out to the elf as his pace slowed slightly at the sight of trees on the horizon. Still a couple of miles away, but it was a promising sign. At the very least if there weren’t any water sources nearby it meant that rain was common enough in the area.

Rika seemed like she’d be the most helpful without any direction from him, being capable of helping set up camp or forage around for edibles. Marcus on the other hand wasn’t going to be immediately useful, but hey manual labour was manual labour and he was another male. “Right,” Adam muttered after he collected his thoughts, “guess we’ll sort things out once we find a decent camp spot.” At Marcus’ prompt for the foxgirl, he also mentioned, “Try to stay aware of any scents in the air. It shouldn’t be too hard to smell fire even from a few miles off.” Hell, the breeze was against them so that’d make detecting anything that was ahead all the easier for her.

The grass slowly began to decrease in length as the group moved closer towards the trees, shortening from his waist to just around his knees. It had to be an hour or so since the group had started their trek, but given he could only guess the other four were civis, Adam didn’t want to push too hard. “If any of you want to take a break in the shade, now would be the time.” While he wouldn’t be getting blisters any time soon, the ancient boot design was far from comfortable and it’d be a bit until he’d actually broken them in. Letting the others reach a consensus, he moved up to examine one of the nearby trees.

Adam shook his head at the two, denying the possibility of going to look for Luke. While it was human nature to stick together, the man had seemed quite troublesome and there was no way he was about to waste time on a search. “No point wasting energy on that. We’re going to need every bit until we can find a water source, but if you want to go then feel free.” He opened his hand at that, giving Rae the option of leaving in search of Luke if she wanted to, and turned to walk in his original intended direction.

It wasn’t more than a minute after that Adam glanced at those that had chosen to head towards the rising sun. “So any of you have skills that might be helpful in our situation? Served a bit, so I’ve got the basics, but I want to know what jobs you guys can do.” Hopefully at least one of the others had some relevant survival training or experience, but Adam wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out he needed to give pointers and instructions after the group had found a suitable camp spot.
