Charlotte falls down onto her knees, breathing hard. Carrying a man as she ran full speed was quite draining as well. "I think... We should take a breather." Her arrows were slowly running out, and because she was expecting a less of a mission, she hadn't brought extra. It was a terrible mistake on her part, as they were now left with... 6 arrows. Biting on her thumb's nail, Charlotte wonders if she would have to resort to using the sword.

Icarus looked at Charlotte, dazed. He touched his hand to his head and looked at it, checking for any injury or blood. "That was... Interesting". He looked towards Gabriel and back at Charlotte: "Shall we continue?"
Laura
"If you are ready." Charlotte runs a thumb over the pomelo for her longsword. "I may have to use the sword once I run out of arrows. Let's make sure to make this last spot fast as possible— but if you really need time, take it." Charlotte directs this towards Gabriel. "I can't believe I only brought 20 arrows." Grumbling, Charlotte cracks her joints, then takes a look at the map again. "Are you ready?"
Dominique
"Yeah. My hands hurt a little but I can heal myself while we head over. So, as long as you two are ready..." He shifts his focus to his left hand now, with both hands still clasped together. "I have a crossbow and some bolts, but maybe you could make use of it better than I can right now?"

Icarus nodded his head. "Alright, as long as we all are sure we want to continue, let's get this show on the road."
Laura
Charlotte thinks, then shakes her head. She didn't have enough experience with the cross bow to use it well— and from what she had heard, crossbow tended to be heavier and much clunkier than the bow. She didn't need extra weight right now. "I appreciate the offer, but no, I think I'll stick to my own weapons." The elf readies her bow, then gets ready to move.
Dominique
Gabriel nodded. "Understandable. Well then, one more to go. I'm counting on you." He adjusted the straps keeping his crossbow and dagger in place and commanded his wolves to spread out a little. The one bearing a blue collar would take the lead, alongside Icarus if he wanted to, while the other two guards their rear.
Marie
Icarus looked back at Gabriel, and then at the blue wolf. "Here to tag along at the front? Hope you can keep up". He nodded at Gabriel, and readied himself for the final collection, still mildly dazed.

You all head to the final location. This has been a long job, and it wouldn't be beyond reason to suspect that the employer knew of the dangers of this task and simply chose to omit it. However, what is done is done, and all you three can do is get the final amount of herbs and deliver them back to the robed figure.
As you three approach the final location there isn't a spec of sunlight despite it being clearly morning at this point. While the trees are blocking most of it, looking up you see a dark haze being the primary reason for the lack of sunlight. The air feels colder and all forms of vegetation nearby are either dead or twisted in some manner. This isn't your job, but you suspect in the future the forest needs to be cleansed with powerful holy magic. Everything is currently silent except for the panting of Gabriel's wolves and your footsteps. The haze only gets thicker and even those with keen eyesight find it difficult to see very far ahead.

Walking forward you eventually reach the location. According to the map this should be where the marijuana is, but due to the haze you three have trouble making out your surroundings. You are all alert, and with your keen sense of smell you can tell that there are no animals nearby. However, you all suddenly hear the snap of a twig up ahead. You then hear footsteps. Something is walking toward you all... No many things are walking toward you all. You three can make out 5 distinct footsteps coming your way, but the haze makes it too hard to see what it is.

Gabriel stopped and strained his eyes. He is usually able to see through darkness, but it seems this darkness had something else to it. He strained his eyes trying to make out the figure of whatever if heading their way. He would have his wolves stay close for now, not wanting to risk them charging in only to be disposed of quickly by a strong enemy.

`Gabriel cast Predatorial Senses for 5 Mana and regenerated 5, leaving him with 36.25 Mana capped at 75. He has +400% visual acuity and +600% sense of smell for 2 turns`

Charlotte has 120 ft night vision, so she is probably able to see through the unflinching darkness of the forest. Or perhaps, the darkness isn't darkness but another way of clouding her vision. If she can see through the 120 ft night vision that she has, she readies an arrow, and fires if she can. Because it isn't simply darkness, Charlotte is panicked— what could be approaching them? Without getting too panicked, she instead takes a step back, readying an arrow but not pulling back the bowstring yet.
