Looking up at the massive vehicle, and then at the two just like it on either side, Kellus can't help but wonder how much the Chimera Project is willing to do to deal with the nagas.  They have enough men and equipment here to qualify as a small army, and were better equipped than most of the other large groups he had worked with in the past.<br/><br/>"Well, they'll certainly know we're coming once these things get close.  For now, I'll stay on one of the transports until we locate the nagas, then I'll split off and head them off at the ravine."<br/><br/>Kneeling down, Kellus places one hand on the ground.  Next to him, the ground heaves suddenly and a large creature shaped like a wolf but composed entirely of stone pulls it's way out of the ground.  It's shoulder is even with Kellus's, and it's eyes are a pair of black obsidian shards.  Simultaneously, a nearby tree suddenly creaks and falls, but seems to unfold into a much larger version of the mantis that Kellus had with him earlier, standing easily 7 feet tall.  Finally, the air around them swirls and coalesces into the somewhat insubstantial form of a hawk, again much larger than it's real-life counterpart.  As Kellus stands, it's plain to see that his eyes are slowly shifting colors from brown to green to white and back again.<br/><br/>"These are three of my furies: Gaean of the Earth, Arboria of the Wood, and Chroma of the Wind.  They'll act as my eyes and ears out ahead of the transports and should let us find the nagas faster.  Between the three of them, there's nowhere the nagas can hide."  As he finishes, Chroma takes to the air and quickly disappears into the sky, Gaean simply sinks back into the ground and moves quickly toward the woods as a slight hump underground, and Arboria skitters into the forest, vanishing among the trees.<br/><br/>"My only question at this point is what do we do if the nagas don't run, or if they split up.  Do you want us to take them down if we get the chance?"
