MARISHA: Okay. Can I climb a tree and do I see
anything on the horizon in where we’re going, like
another tree clearing that looks like it might be
up ahead?
MATT: Make an athletics check.
MARISHA: Athletics?
MATT: Yes.
MARISHA: 24.
SAM: Jesus.
MARISHA: Rolled an 18.
MATT: Like a monkey that was raised in the jungle,
you watch Beauregard leap from branch to bough,
effortlessly diving through this forest.
ASHLY: Keg is aroused.
MARISHA: Whatever you cast on me, Caleb, is
like… I feel so good!
MATT and LIAM: It’s gone.
MARISHA: But the lingering effects, you know, I’m
in the afterglow!
MATT: The afterglow of Haste.
TALIESIN: It was just tea. We just gave you tea to
smoke, it wasn’t really…
(laughter)
TALIESIN: Herbal tea, man. Just chamomile tea.
MARISHA: So relaxed.
MATT: You make it up into the canopy. Make a
perception check.
MARISHA: Okay. 17.
MATT: Even at the tallest tree, most around you,
all you can see are other trees of varying
heights. Looking in the northeast direction,
beyond where you just came from, you can see the
house, you can see bits of natural rock that maybe
had either been left by some long-ago volcanic
detonation in the distance, or pushed up through
the ground by tectonic movement, you’re not sure.
You see elements of stone that have broken through
bits of the grass and open fields, part of the
natural fields here. You haven’t actually traveled
this far north, so it’s unfamiliar topography to
you– you’ve only heard about it– but it’s
interesting to see that the further north you get,
the more rocky the terrain seems to get in the
direction you’re traveling. You do see, far in the
distance, what could possibly be the road that
you’re getting to, but it’s a ways off to get to
that direction.
MARISHA: I climb back down. I say we gather some
branches, some scrap wood for firewood, in case
this might be the only forest we come across in a
while. See as far as we can get, maybe we can hide
under a rock for shelter or something.
TALIESIN: I’ve still got my tent, so, sure.
MARISHA: I shoved one in the haversack too.
TALIESIN: All right.
MATT: You guys continue for the next hour or so,
skirting along the forest.
MARISHA: I gathered some stuff.
LIAM: As they leave, Caleb scooches Frumpkin on
the head and says: You know, she always forgets
