<strong>The Wilds of Dra Sirdu - A Rather Sedate Evening</strong><br/><br/>As it had every previous day, perhaps since the beginning of time, the sun crept downward. After a brief, if quite pleasant, sunset, darkness once more engulfed the forest. For a pleasant change, nothing leapt at them from the sparse undergrowth. However, in their closely knit camp, the evening seemed less menacing than it had during previous nights. The blissful peace of a night's sleep on Dra Sirdu remained, for those who partook of it, but the shadows were not nearly as dark or vile-seeming as they had been the previous evening. The moon and stars were clearly visible here, where before they had been present, but obscured and indistinct, particularly in their normal role of light-givers. Even the local creatures of the night were more audible and noticeable than they had been before.<br/><br/>Morning came swiftly, and with it, a gift from one of their previous hosts in the form of more honey-grain mixture and fruits wrapped in leaves. Whoever had delivered it had taken great pains to go undetected during the night, but a<strong>Good</strong>pair of ears or eyes would pick it out for who it was: Visha, as well as a handful of other, smaller saurians. Only the former envoy actually carried anything, however, suggesting that the youths had either shirked at their tasks, or that they were present in an entirely different capacity. More youthful gawkers, perhaps? Regardless of the others' cause for being present, Visha deposited its gifts well away from the apparently sleeping trio, not wanting to draw attention or find itself otherwise entangled with the foreigners again.<br/><br/>Morning came somewhat more slowly than it had on previous nights: less of a sudden transition from darkness into brilliance, and more the normal morning that one would expect. Likewise, while sleep remained almost supernaturally restful, wakefulness came more easily here. Soon, the sun had risen into the sky, and the ancient forest was filled with the noises of all manner of birds, beasts, and other beings, going about their business.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Back on the "Road"</div><div class="spoiler_body">Good/+3 to notice Visha. A subsequent Great/+4 to successfully grab it or another lizardfolk visitor, if such is desired. I assume you're breaking camp and heading for the spider's lair/region? If so, travel there can be made by ... midday, I think I said, earlier? Well, it's mid-ish day, now, because of the additional other distance you traveled, not quite in the same direction. In addition, a navigation roll might be in order, due to the detour.</div></div>
