Kaz continues to peck at the vine to try to break it. @Ancient Elantrian The vine, taking a lot of damage from the bird, shrinks back into it's hole.
Through The Living Glass She/They Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 Quote Soooo Murr and Berin haven't found a place to hide for the night, and Evan just fought off a plant. Is that everyone who's out and about right now?

Evan sighs in relief ruffling Kaz feathers and patting him on the head. He knew if he feel asleep in the tree then the vine could attack him while he slept, and he couldn't go out on the beach or he would be to out in the open. Or could he?Thankfully I have a bird to shield my mind right now. Evan finally came to a decision. He made his way deeper into the jungle, moving towards the more mountainous part of the island, hoping to find rocky areas where vicious plants wouldn't be present.

As he moves north he the ground becomes more rocky, until he finds himself facing a cliff, sticking 30 feet out of the ground. In order to continue he'll have to climb.

I’m a good distance from Murr, and he’s kicking my oar, not me (He might also be kicking into me, but then he’s entirely too close and I would have had opportunity to do smt else, like punch him in the face). So either he’s kicking whilst running, giving me large reaction time, enough to accurately predict the position of the foot and catch it with ease (basically catching it by putting his good hand behind the foot and catching on) Either that, or he’s going over to where I am, stopping, tensing, and then finally kicking. That’s a good amount of reaction time. It would be easy to do this without a wound, and difficult with one. Good thing Berin has increased senses… he’s able to see the tension and predict even more efficiently! If you want to hear it, just imagine that my other hand is currently clutching my side. I haven’t had time to pose significant blood. Edited October 3, 2024 by SpiritOfWrath

He had some experience climbing, but that was mostly climbing homes and buildings while working in the underground. Hopefully I can find some kind of shelter at the top he thinks to himself.

As he climbs a soft hum, a buzzing noise, comes from his left, getting louder as he goes up.
