Alyssa would definitely hear it as she was close. If she followed the source of those shots, she would easily find herself meeting with the path that Jesse had followed. And there would be no more traps like the one she had just found. If Alyssa was about to respond to the Park Warden over the radio and she had her finger pressing on the button, the gunshots would be heard over the radio, alerting the Park Warden and the Sheriff of something happening in the woods. Could it be this Prophet they were looking for? The park rangers cordoning off a perimeter around the Vortex Campground wouldn't hear much, due to their distance to the events happening up the trail, but Joanna, the tattooed woman with the rangers. was for some reason, able to hear the gunshots clearly and she showed concerned for the park ranger sent to investigate the trail. Hopefully, she was alright.<br/><br/>The park ranger with Jesse was unharmed, but she just witnessed a cowboy-looking man having a little tussle with a crazed madman dressed in white and wielding a knife. She didn't dare interrupt the scuffle, which was thankfully short. The man in the duster seemed to have received injuries, but somehow he was unfazed. What he was in fact was enraged that he was attacked by this person, who swiftly disappeared into the wood below. Was this the Prophet they were looking for? she thought.<br/><br/>"Damn, what<em>are</em>you, mister?" the park ranger asked, content with keeping her distance from the man. Her gut reaction would be to try to do first aid on the man, but she neither had any equipment to do so nor did she want to invade this man's space after such a short battle.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, still in the wood, the radio would chirp with the Park Warden's voice. "Alyssa! Alyssa! What were those noises? Were they gunshots?"<br/><br/>Since the area was calmer and quieter, the park ranger was able to hear something in the brush and she called out to the unknown presence in the wood. "Hello! Whoever's there, we mean you no harm, I think..." she said, trailing off knowing that the man before her was still holding his gun, even replacing the spent bullets with new ones.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Hunters permitted to reply to this post:</em>Alyssa Sturm, Jesse, Brook
