> Hold up, don't do this yet.
> Instead, look up. How clear is the canopy?

>The faerie needs no encouragement.
>You look upward, and can see the canopy is fairly dense here. But more importantly, your eyes are drawn toward it. You can see it, crouching in boughs perhaps twenty feet overhead; a brutish and muscular thing, human-like in shape. Your mind flashes back toward one of the models you saw at the museum for a moment, as its eyes lock with yours.

>It is hard to tell at a glance; its face seems reasonably human, though you haven't had time to inspect it. You definitely feel pressure from it, though.

Correct. In fact, I don't wan't to be the aggressor, on the chance the creature is intelligent.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #251 on:** October 10, 2016, 02:58:37 PM »

Too disadvantageous if it decides to jump at us. (Also Sakuya curtsies rather than bows.)

We're not stopping time unless it's an emergency.

>You drop the tools and move!
>The monster slams onto the ground just where you were standing, its fist slamming into the ground with a frightful impact!
>You have a better view of it; her; now. Covered with thick patchy hair, a long tangled mane of black greasy hair trailing behind her and settling as she falls, there is something human-esque about her. Her build is stout and powerful, but utterly without beauty, at once too large and too stunted. As you prepare a knife, she is already turning toward you and lashes out with her other hand!
