Val had been cooped up long enough. The school, the city, it was all so noisy, and had its weird restrictions. The woods though, more specifically the forbidden forest was much more to his groups speed. Valerian's goals in this were twofold; find Dark Crystal Academy and see if it made for a suitable base camp. The second would be, find one of these supposedly terrible monsters and kill it. They were going to make these woods theirs. Even if someone were to come after them, they'd be more than ready.

He was waiting under a tree at their appointed meeting spot twirling a crossbow bolt in his fingers. Queen Thorn was already drawn, ready for action. His claws were sharpened, and he was focused. It wouldn't be long now before everyone else showed up.

Bracken needed very little motivation to convince him to go with Val. He was always up for a hunting or scouting trip and a simple notification of his plan was plenty. The skilled Melder crept silently towards the tree, mentally advising Val of his arrival and giving an update on the others as needed.

His spear made a slight tapping sound as he wedged the base between two roots so he could lean on it. "I'm ready whenever the others arrive. This should be quite entertaining."

The word "hunt" was all the encouragement Rhododendron needed. Summoning Longsight to her, she strapped on her recurve bow and her quiver of arrows and began sneaking quietly among the foliage towards Valerian.

As Rho moved quietly and stealthily through the woods, she automatically used her glamour to camouflage her body and cloak her movements as a chameleon might change its colours to blend into its surroundings.

Seeing Bracken and Val, she quickly stepped behind a tree and then crouched down to hide behind a boulder. She might not be able to hide her mind from her companion, but she could certainly try to avoid physical detection.

Tanniv was slower than the others, and her natural scientific curiosity made her even more prone to tardiness. But that was for boring things, like class. This was a hunt! So she would only be a little tardy.

She was strapped with several bandoliers and pouches - all sorts of toxins and chemicals she'd prepared ahead of time to help them with the hunt. She smiled all wide as she approached the meeting spot, her tattoos shimmering in the light.

"Friends! I'm excited! It feels like it has been a fortnight or more."

"Well, we did have to make some adjustments. Still adjusting, really but, we should get to it," he grinned, slinging Queen over his shoulder. He looked at his group, Rho was likely there, out of sight as she often was.

"I think our first move should be investigating the abandoned school. The prey's not going anywhere. It's high time we carve out something that we can call our own during our stay here," he said as he began to head out into the woods.

At the mention of the abandoned school, Rho perked up, excited now about the prospect as she moved swiftly between trees before she came to materialize beside Valerian. She had not been 100% sure they'd do that today or not, so to hear it confirmed that they might have a base soon where they could be themselves, thrilled Rho to the core.

"Did I hear correctly? We are going to check out that old magic school?" she asked Val with low key excitement as she greeted Tanniv and then Bracken, who she knew already knew she had been with the group for a bit now.

Bracken nodded at his friends, giving each of them a smile in turn. It was good to have the party back together again. Naturally he let Val get the first words in, and turned to accommodate Rho as she decided to step from hiding. "This sounds as good a target as any. It should have been long enough that their security measures and patrols have become slightly more lax."

"I do regret us not setting out for the blood of a true hunt but... a place of our own would be helpful."

"School?" Tanniv settled into a crouched position, resting her arms on her knees as she listened to the idea presented by Val. "Abandoned means mold and moss. Might be good ingredients there. Good places to hide traps too."

She clicked softly in agreement with Bracken's disappointment, but perked up. "But if this place is abandoned, animals might come. Not the best hunting, but better than none."

Val looked back at them as he moved. "Hardly anyone comes out here from what I've heard anyway. We just need to learn this forest, and make it our hunting ground."

"You all realize this forest supposedly has some powerful beasts dwelling in it, no? Magic has apparently mutated them into ferocious beasts. Sounds at least a little bit like home..." he smirked.

It wasn't too long before the party reached the remains of DCA. Val stopped at what would be the gates of the school, giving it a wary look. "Here we are... keep your guard up."

Bracken nodded absently. "My guard is rarely let down but understood. I don't sense anyone we need to be worried about yet" Keeping an eye on the minds touched by his Meld took a lot of his focus, but he remained careful in his movements.

He would not spoil this for the party by being careless.

"We'll need to find some way to discourage others from exploring this place if we wish to make it ours."
