<strong>Location:</strong>Lady's Lake;<strong>Time &amp; Date:</strong>Early-evening, 16 Elient (Adventure Day 1)<br/><strong>Alura's Hp:</strong>40/40<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>Alura makes good speed in the lake, the waters caressing her body like a lover's touch, but the woods prove a little more out of her element.  Nevertheless, nothing truly proves dangerous to her, and she makes fair, if comparatively slower headway into the forest though her druidix attunement allows her to avoid being snagged by brambles and stray branches, almost as if they parted asside for the beauty of the fey creature.  By the time she is beginning to reach where she suspects the fire may be, it has darkened quite a bit, though her ability to see even in these condition of minimal light ensures she can pass along well enough not to stub her toe.<br/><br/>Thanks to the encroaching darkness, it is quite easy to spot the yellow-orange light of the fire at a distance, even if does seem to be a rather small one.  There are no multitude of voices to be heard, so it quite likely that those present might be very few in number.<br/><br/>The woods around her remain silent, except for the occasional rustle of some small critter in the undergrowth, or the chirp of birds settling in for the night in the trees high above.  From all evidence, it does not seem she has yet been noticed by anyone or anything sentient.  Above, the cold light of the moon has began to rise, and stars are beginning to appear in the darkening vault of the sky.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, Alura must decide how she wants to approach the situation.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/NXwLTmu.png)<br/>(each hex is about 1 mile across; the woods take twice as long to get across)<br/><br/>Alura is currently in hex 44.35<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The camp fire (44.35) is approximately where she can see the smoke.<br/><br/></li><li>The abandoned the boats are at the edge of area 46.32<br/><br/></li><li>The disturbance with her lake is at area 41.29<br/><br/></li></ul><br/>The grey parts are areas Alura has no knowledge about, and the world has changed quite a bit for the lore she had in olden days to be accurate anymore.</div></div>
