Ima add my clues right now though you have probably already heard them:
You enjoy your walk back from the forest with your buddy, but you’re aware that it’s important to get to work on your clues. After having a restorative lunch you look through the images stored on your camera. In one you see a tuft of orange fur under a trail sign painted on a tree. It looks like it’s made of three rectangles, but you’re not sure how to make heads or tails of it.
You try to figure out what it might mean by yourself for a while, but eventually you admit defeat and work up your courage and approach Conall. You draw the symbol in the dirt in front of the fire pit, and Conall lets you know that it’s the sign that marks the beginning of a trail. Maybe you should go follow it? Conall also shows you the other signs a hiker would use to show the right path on the trail.
You gather your gear and your buddy and head back out. It’s getting later in the afternoon now, but there’s still plenty of light to find the trail sign from your photo. The tuft of fur is still stuck to the bark, and you think it definitely looks like it belongs to Seraphine. You follow the trail sign directions into the forest, coming upon some that tell you to keep going straight, others left, and quite a few right. As darkness falls you turn on your flashlights, but the trail signs are thankfully in neon yellow paint and are still easy to pick out.
Finally, you reach a sign that marks the end of the trail. You are in a clearing, and as you look around you see various bushes growing around the edges. Closer inspection reveals fresh wild raspberries, and you can’t help but pick a few, remembering Penny’s instructions to thank the forest for offering you a snack. Though you look carefully, the light of your flashlight doesn’t reveal any more clues in the bushes.
As you leave, though, your flashlight catches on a red reflection in the bushes. There sure are a lot of raspberries! No matter, you need to get back before lights out. Trail signs point the way, but as you’re about to make a right turn your buddy stops you and insists that it’s the wrong direction. When you check carefully you can see that someone has altered the sign, and it’s supposed to point left. Thanks to your buddy’s keen eye you make it back to camp safely.
That's it
