<strong>In the wilds of Dra Sirdu: following a terrified trail</strong><br/><br/>Granted his (or perhaps her; only those who had looked under the loincloth would know) freedom, the former spearlizard dashed off into the undergrowth. The path it left behind could only be described as "trampled:" branches snapped, bushes were flattened and leaves scattered to and fro as it tore through the undergrowth. Happily enough, despite its lack of caution, its lingering wounds slowed it enough for the group to easily keep pace, if they so desired. Or, of course, they could always follow along behind. It certainly wasn't paying enough attention to figure out whether or not anything or anyone was following it.<br/><br/>The disastrous highway that the saurian left behind eventually led to ... well, a regrettably empty clearing. However, the group's tracker easily spotted the way it had taken: a young sapling had been crushed in its attempt to aid the reptile in scaling its way into the trees. From there, it could be seen clambering and leaping higher and higher, until it found its way to a suspiciously large bundle of greenery and wood up in lower reaches of the canopy.<br/><br/>Unsurprisingly, further pursuit would reveal that it was in fact a cluster of houses, all built to a scale considerably smaller than would be comfortable for a human (but which might suit the tiny captive that they had just released). The camouflage, much like that of the creatures, themselves, was effective to an almost uncanny degree, but with the helpful pointer that their unknowing (or at least uncaring) assistant had given them, it was easy to make out various features. There even looked to be glass windows in some of the nestled, stacked structures. However, there were also a decided shortage of sentries or lookouts. Clearly, the lizardfolk weren't afraid of surprise attacks. Or they were so confident in their camouflage as to believe themselves not to need it. In either case, they wouldn't be picking up on the party's presence any time soon.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">And after all of that</div><div class="spoiler_body">Since you did so well on those interrogation rolls, it seemed unfair of me to not reward you. They weren't actually Create Advantage rolls, but I'll just say that the lizard is so careless that the difficutly to follow him back to his home is merely <strong>Mediocre</strong>, meaning that Eshalu scores in at a Success with Style and then some. The reward won't come as a boost here, either, as you wouldn't have time to immediately spend it. Rather, you'll get an appropriate aspect (likely based on your timely and efficient pursuit) in a later scene when it's actually useful.</div></div>
