When Sresk surfaced with the giant snakeskin bundled over her shoulders, Sophia was taken aback, both by Sresk's clever discovery and by the sheer size of the skin, much more tangible than the tracks they had found. "Great job!" she called out, moving to walk alongside the shifter. "We're so lucky to have you, especially in a place like this."<br/><br/>She accompanied Sresk back to the camp, letting her give her report before she spoke. "Well, there you have it," she concluded. "Good news and bad news. We've got good sources of food and water, but there's another big predator here already. So the question is, do we camp here or move on?"<br/><br/>Sophia spread her arms to encompass the beach and the terrain beyond it. "I think we stay here. This is the sort of land we were looking for when we set out to the Dark Continent - bountiful and probably dangerous. We've got no good reason to think that other places will be any safer. And I think the gods guided us to land here. So unless anyone has very strong feelings otherwise, we're going to make camp here tonight. Tomorrow, we can explore further and see what this land has in store for us.<br/><br/>"As for the snake? I like to think we can handle a snake, no matter how big. We won't go looking for it tonight, though - we need to get our strength back, physical and emotional, and I definitely don't want to be hunting for it in the dark. We'll need watches, of course. And I'm going to set up this spire as a place to retreat to if it proves too much for us." She pointed to the nearest rock spire, a hundred and twenty feet tall. "I can at least put a rope ladder up it. I don't want to camp there unless we have to, though - it's a long way to fall, and probably not very comfortable up there."<br/><br/>She walked around the camp, inspecting the work that had been done, and came to Silvy's shrine. She touched the rock solemnly, and bowed her head briefly. "Good," she said quietly. "We need to commemorate the ones we lost. We should all take time for that." She closed her eyes for a moment, then smiled. "And also to celebrate. I'm happy to take first watch if everyone else is going to be... busy."<br/><br/>She turned to the wyvern. "Do you think you could carry me up to the top of that spire, Telamon? I want to set up a rope we can use to climb it, to use as a lookout and a defensible fallback position."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>GM Notice:</strong>Sophia's plan is to get to the top of the spire and use her Robe of Infinite Twine to set up one or two ropes, tied into ladders if possible, as ways to traverse the spire. Other than that, she'll participate in setting up the camp, such as gathering food and firewood. She will set up her blankets at the base of the spire, so she can rest with her back to it.
