Verdis, Kane, Neptune, and Morrigan (in the lead) divert into the forest as a pack while the remainder of your keldines sprawl out on the path to lay down for a few minutes, resting your paws. Wind whispered through the canopy above, rattling leaves together and making branches whistle and creak. A moment of peace after half a day of walking was definitely nice.
And, after about an hour, the remainder of your group returns to you with a large buck in tow-
Well, most of them return, Coral realizes.
Kane appears to be missing, and when asked, Morrigan gave small sigh and shook his head.
"They took off after this orange, long-necked creature with wings in its head," they describe, "I've not actually seen anything like it before."
"Its tail was on fire!" Neptune exclaims, "I tried to tell them not to run after it, but they didn't listen."
"I don't think it was any normal fire, it was pretty colorful." Verdis said.
Morrigan barks, "Whatever it was, it definitely had to be some kind of magic. They're not coming back."
Kane finds 100c$ a rare MYO and does not return.
Your keldines share the meal and continue to rest a little while longer before finally getting back on your paws to walk on ahead.

The sun slowly sank toward the horizon as time passed, eventually casting golden light between the trees and illuminating each of your scales beautifully. You can see the forest gives way to a clearing just up ahead, and each of you step into the ever-dimming light of the day.
"We should set up camp here." Coral says.Who will go get firewood?
> A. I'm staying here
> B. I'll go!
Amitola, Yeti, and Kane can no longer vote!
