[WHEN THEY ARE READY, and pray to the fountain, the scales of the Forever Snake, knowing exactly where they wish to go.

It feels like there are several Eyes on them all of sudden, and the earth seems to move under them at impossible speed, though they haven't taken a step themselves. It could be a bit disorienting, honestly, but as soon as it becomes uncomfortable, it stops. And they're on solid ground again.

Solid, grey, dying ground.

They're back in the thinning mist of where the mansion once stood. Only a bit of debris remains, nothing worth sorting through, and the cave where the body was discovered has been completely filled in now.

There's nothing for them here to do other than to follow the map to this 'sanctuary'. They'll have to step out into the thick of the mist though, they better have a weed buddy around. ]

[ we brought TWO weeds, we're super stealthy. ]

'lright, everyone saw the route, right? Stick close to each other an' keep it quiet when we're out there.

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

Yep! Got it memorized– [ taps at her head ] –so I know where to go.

Re: START

[aididitmyway]

Yep! Don't worry about me, I'm not gonna do anything that gets us caught.

Re: START

[sweetsmarts]

Yeah, got it. [ he actually is really quiet when he moves so he can be stealthy ]

Re: START

[eonsadrift]

He really destroyed the entire place, huh..? Wonder if that was difficult for him or if he has a hundred mansions all over.

[ Nothing to see here, though! He's just following the map, shepherd's staff out and sunflower light on just in case. ]

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

Wouldn't be the first time 'cause of us, right? Maybe it didn't mean much to him anymore with Blossom gone.

Re: START

[aididitmyway]

Probably... and he probably has a hundred mansions everywhere too. I mean, he looks all fancy and stuff, right?

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

He's literally a prince, of course he's got fancy stuff everywhere!

Re: START

[eonsadrift]

So is Stormy, but he doesn't seem to have anything but a run down pasture.

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

Ehhh, you win some you lose some.

Re: START

[wooliefrand]

[ONCE EVERYONE IS MARCHING ALONG ALL NICE LIKE--

Well first thing's first they are getting near IMMEDIATELY jumped by a pack of mist wolves, and ones with no masks, so it's clear Ceo has no domain over these wild ones.

SO HAVE FUN WITH THAT. Anyone got some WOLF REPELLENT]

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

Tch. Figures.

[ She has her PIPE!!! Time to smack a wolf or two with it! ]

Re: START

[aididitmyway]

[It's time for ~Lyra's magical singing~ so everyone gets an attack boost. So. Sorry for not being quiet, actually? Oops. But hey, enjoy your attack boost.]

I want to know who was wavering in the dark, as I set foot on a journey, I want to leave my mark!

Re: START

[doggonemad]

[ time to STAB ]

Re: START

[eonsadrift]

[ here's your wolf repellent RIGHT here

He fires out multiple bursts of anemo wind, spiraling around the mist wolves with razor-sharp gales. ]

Re: START

[throughbamboo]

[at least one of those wolves are getting yeeted]

Re: START

[wooliefrand]

[WELL!!

between the YEETING and STABBING and SILVER PIPES and RAZOR WINDS and SINGING BOOSTING,

they dispatch this set very easily! And probably some others tbf. THESE ARE WOLF MOOKS YALL KNOW HOW IT GOES.

Eventually, ironically, Lyra's singing acts as a repellent. Don't go to the voices if you don't want your ass kicked. It's not sure-fire, but there will be a noticeable decrease in attacks.

And after........I'll be honest I forgot how far away the sanctuary is, but AT SOME POINT, ON FOOT, AFTER A WHILE they will reach:

A massive gated wall. Well, 'gated'. It's more like a thick, thorny bramble patch, and the closer they get to it, the thinner the mist gets, though the whispers and howls in the wind remain. If Zenith were to fly up, he wouldn't be able to see over it, blocked by a wall of mist or a barrier of some sort--maybe an illusion? It's unclear.

This is their 'fence' so to speak. Just like the one at the pasture keeps out monsters and intruders there, this seems to serve the same purpose. However, they can see two feral 'masked' wolves up ahead, either guarding an entrance or just patrolling. And while they can't see over the fence if they fly, actually touching it? That doesn't seem to be any problem whatsoever, so they could get creative.

So! What do.]

Re: START

[psynchroneyes]

[ hmmm. ]

So... we either take those guys out first, or sneak over somehow.

Re: START

[doggonemad]

Huh, yeah . . .

Oi, Lyra. What can ya do with yer singin', exactly?

Re: START

[aididitmyway]

Shields, boosts... that's the best of it. Perci didn't get a chance to teach me more.

Re: START

[eonsadrift]

I did say we shouldn't barge in, guns blazing...

Sneaking in might be our best bet.

Re: START

[eonsadrift]

[ He does fly up to try and see over it, checking around the top of the brambles to see if he can get anything out of it.

Eventually he lands, shaking his head. ]

No luck. I can't get through or see anything on the other side. Just more mist.

Re: START

[doggonemad]

Got a plan, boss? I kinda don't wanna do anythin' to their fence. An' they don't look like the talkin' type.

OPERATION: GUNS A SLINGING

[wooliefrand]

[A DISTRACTION TACTIC HAS BEEN FORMED


.............hitting a bush with a slingshot.

the wolves turn their heads toward the shrubbery. . .

. . .

And an inky mass ejects from them, completely demolishing the bush from the distance. They tilt their heads curiously. Maybe they just heard some birds or something??

But the one puts its head in the air, sniffing. Its nose goes to the ground.

It's walking their way.]
