They know someone piloted that ship. Their patrols are sweeping through the forest, and if I stay put, they’ll corner me. Without my staff, confronting them all would be reckless.

There seems to be a village nearby; I can hear activity in the distance. I’ve spent years on Sauria, yet this stretch of forest is unfamiliar to me. I don’t know who lives there, nor how they’ll react to a stranger emerging from the woods. Still, in a moment like this, any help could make a difference.

Going deeper into the forest isn’t exactly appealing. Twisting, tentacled shapes writhe through the shadows, poised to snatch anything that strays too near… only to be devoured, I imagine?...

They’re unsettling, but their rhythm is obvious, almost sluggish. If I time my steps, I can slip past them with ease.

The SharpClaw, however, are loud and heavy-footed. If they followed me in there, they’d blunder straight into those creatures… and likely be caught before they even realized it.

No time to hesitate. It’ll be safer for me to:A. Head to the village for potential help.B. Use the deep forest to trap my pursuers.
