“I’ve had worse, thanks to you.” Yuisa replied with a grunt, pulling her hand away from Vammy. “I’ll be fine as long as whatever this poison is doesn’t start doing anything…weird.” The rest of the place had fallen quiet, but Vammy could still tell…little demonic things running about below. The vines, whatever they were, were part of whatever demonic infection had taken over this place.
Heading up the stairs, the pair would soon find themselves at the top of what was some sort of lookout tower. It had a full three hundred sixty degree view over the singular piece of island land they found themselves on. In the room itself, was a skeletal human corpse holding a key, and a faded, old journal. Much of the text was illegible but there was some that she could read.
Well, it was nothing else important here save for the key. A bronze construct with lines chiseled on one side of it, though what it was for was up in the air.

The voices fell silent for a few long, tense seconds.
Followed by a pleading request
“Sister no!”
There was the sound of someone running, and Finnegan would have only a few seconds before a sharp blade of water snapped the spear he was using right in half. He’d have only a few seconds to process the sight of two valtem.
One looked much like what Finnegan had expected they would. Bipedal, black scales covering her body and brandishing a sword and shield and wearing rudimentary armor.
The second was surlier, and lacking any clothes but a harpoon gripped tightly in her hands.
“Kill us? You? You couldn’t kill a youngling if you tried.” The scale covered one replied with a hiss. “This is no place for you dry skin. leave. Now. The only reason you still stand is because my sister begged me not to.”
Soyala was nowhere to be seen. Seems she had stealthily made a move somewhere else.
“...Sella. Why do you always resort to violence. Maybe-” The spear wielding one said.
“And what? Give them the opportunity to hurt us again? Sister, stop with your nonsense. Valtem and land dwellers can not get along.” The Valtems blade was drenched in water. Finn could see it slowly rotating across the blades edge.

The mark itself was difficult for the Raam to decipher. It seemed to be old Krysan writing, but it didn’t seem to mean anything she could discern immediately. Continuing on, though, she’d eventually see more of these markings carved into the trees. Soon enough though, she could hear telltale words of someone speaking - a small group of Krysa sitting around a small fire.
“We’ve been in this forest for days now.”
“Only a matter of time until we find her. We’re narrowing down the area - just keep markin the trees that are the wrong path.”
“Hmph, if only she cooperated, we could have been back home by now.”
“We should just burn this whole damn forest down.”
“I don’t imagine that’d help…”
Well, that was somewhat useful…but maybe she could get more information out of these rats?

The fox wasn’t hard to locate, having taken up a position on a nearby tall dresser, chewing on some animal bones the yaga apparently was keeping up there for some reason. She was trying to jump and reach the fox, but she was dreadfully too short to be reaching up there without assistance.
Once Novak approached, Ayumi would hop off, land on the girls head earning a small squeal from her, before hopping onto a nearby table and yipping from the other end away from the two.
“They wouldn’t be the first to look for me.” The Yaga replied irritably, rubbing the top of her head. “They haven’t found me yet, and if they do, then they’ll get whats coming to them. They can’t compel me to do anything. If they try well…” She folded her arms across her chest. “I can still use magic for self defense. If that’s why you’re here, you’re wasting your time.”
