[Smerdle]

He managed to use Ignatius's distraction to his advantage, smacking the monster when it wasn't looking.

Ignatius was relieved that the vine things went down more easily that time, though that was probably because Brenley seemed to be doing a good job. He, on the other hand, needed to practice his fear more.

But that was okay! Ignatius was not discouraged. He was ready to take on the area with weird music and spiderwebs.

So ready he would sit down and wait for the lights to show up. No cliffwalking today.

For some reason, Bren had forgotten about this part of the forest. He didn't know how that was possible, but as the spiderwebs tangled around his ankles, it all came back to him.

Where were those weird lights? This music was grating. Maybe just because he knew what it led to. It actually wasn't too unpleasant to the ears.

He continued to move forward, hoping that if he did so slowly enough the webs would let up so he could find the way out of here. They did no such thing.

The thought struck him that perhaps he should try to learn the music.

He immediately decided that was a bad idea.

He finally stopped. "Please let me go?"

"I don't think they're sentient, Bren," offered Ignatius, ever-so-helpfully.

Then he spotted the lights he was looking for. Aha! "Alright, this way to some massive toadstools!" Ignatius jumped up and strolled ahead.

The webs slid away, leaving behind that music. Brenley pointed at them. "Oh, yeah?" but Ignatius was gone.

Stamina: 18/30  

[Smerdle]

Which way had he gone? Bren squinted in the direction of the other boil's voice, noticing the faeries for the first time. Ah. There. He shook his head at this place as he continued on.

"Yeah! I'm pretty sure the spider is the--" Ignatius tripped suddenly in an act that was surprisingly unbalanced for the elemental, pinwheeling his arms and falling right on a spike.

He managed to get himself out it, but he notably had a bit of a gash leaking electricity. "Uh, watch out for the pit."

Toadstools. That was a good thing. Too bad Bren had angered the light gods? He felt an odd pull on his fear, and then he was back in front of the dead vine creatures.

[Smerdle]

The vines were nowhere to be found. He ignored the music. Screw music.

Hmph.
