Forest Guardians

Rhosyn’s attention drifted freely between the quartet as they’d conducted their introductions, his gaze remained momentarily transfixed upon both Nienke and Andor for a notably longer duration. A hint of envy trickled across his features, despite his natural affinity for the arcana related to Nature, his affinity for animals remained mediocre as best, a shortcoming within his studies. “I fear you may come to regret that sentiment, traversal through the forest is its’ own beast or burden.” Rhosyn replied to Esme with a slight frown, she went onto raise a point, if they wished to make their endeavor at least mildly pleasant, it would be wise to conduct it prior to the sun reaching its’ peak.

Ceren’s question granted the mage a momentary pause before he gave a curt shake of his head. “None of the hunting parties have reported any blight-infected animals during their outings… But I cannot say with certain they do not lurk within the woods – any number of them could have fed on corrupted plants…” Most possessed the capacity to avoid making such a stupid choice, however, hunger possessed the inherent ability to drive one to madness and to the brink of insanity. Denied water, one would willingly drink down something tainted by poison in their fervor.
