"Better." Monty smiled a little and sat on the rock for a few minutes before he went back over to the tree and climbed the ladder.
"I,m coming back up Hel." He yelled so she could hopefully hear him. Before he went up he found a thick branch and a small rock, he quickly stuck them in his jacket so he could get to them in a hurry when he got up there. " Don't hit me or anything when I get up there.. ok?!." He meant it as a joke but it came out more as a request then anything.

"I can see a little, but unfortunately not too far ahead. Though I've got my glowing tail as well, so at least that is visible some what if we do get lost." Imryn replied, giving her tail a few swings before pausing where the trail split and the teachers when their own ways.
"It seems like they are splitting up... it might be easier to follow Miss Cricket along the path as long as we keep the flashlights off. The glowing spots on the ground seem to be a little easier to follow than trying to climb up the tree and follow along. If that's alright with you." Neither of them really seemed all that safe, but with only having wings, she didn't want to risk injuring her wings on a branch and being unable to move.
"Hm." He supposed he'd choose to believe her for now, much as he'd believed Marosa all those months ago when he'd said he wasn't one of them. Someone really needed to come up with an easy way to track crazy humans, one that didn't involve smelling them. He wasn't terribly good at that.
West stopped to watch Elk climb the tree, shaking his head when the teacher cut himself. He sucked at climbing himself, but something told him he could do a better job... The boil looked at Angeline. Right. Not today.
"Y'say there's somethin' down there?" he asked, picking up speed as he started after Cricket. "Let's see what it is, then."

"Hope it's nothing that will eat us..."
As she followed after West, Angeline made more of a face, moving one hand to cup over her mouth and nose.
"It smells...like rot..." she murmured, shoulders beginning to shake a little as she moved to cover her all to sensitive sense of smell. The last thing West needed to deal with was - well...
that was a different bridge to cross.

The Horseman knelt, examining the glowing trail that Cricket left where she had walked. Reaching out with her fingers to touch it, it merely slipped through her fingers. She furrowed her brow. Well, so much for that.
Standing upright again, she nodded at Imryn. "Indeed, that seems like a good path to choose. I'm not fond of climbing trees unless necessary anyway." Although she was curious as to why they needed to keep the flashlights off. She reached into her kit and pulled the contraption out. It was an interesting object, creating light with just the.....click.
The flashlight flicked on, Falair blinked.

The flashlight illuminated slick red ground that oozed a thin red liquid every time someone stepped on it and trees grown from what looked to be corpses and bore fruit of heads. As the light flashed over one of the fruits' 'faces', suddenly every face on the tree turned to look towards the source of light and began to make a horrible shrieking noise - which in turn began to rile up every other tree of similar nature.
And then came the grabbing, every branch like a hand that grasped and tugged at clothing.
They didn't let go. Cricket passed a look back at the ensnared students, looking rather enraged that her advice hadn't been followed. It may have been just how threatening she looked in that moment that kept the branches at arm's length away from her.
NECROMORPHIC TREES HAVE YOU OH SNAPS
The mass of the Necromorphic Trees has a collective HP of 100HP Every student is held by a branch that has 10 HP They do an auto-damage of 10 if they still have a hold of you. If you are freed they do 5 auto-damage You do not take damage for attacking someone else's branch
Fai rather enjoyed the darker parts--and was a bit disappointed, especially when he was grabbed by a tree-- "Really?" he demanded of the tree, looking at it as if it was a misbehaving pet, even as his FEAR shield took a rather heavy toll.
Precious, on the other hand, was highly irritated by this attacking plant. How dare it! Sadly, none of the heads could reach.
"Perhaps we should assist each other?" he called to the others around him.

Falair was quite possibly more fascinated by this strange tree with all it's heads than fearful of it. At least what she could see of it anyway. But alas, she would have no time to poke and prod at it.
Upon taking a step closer to it a branch snapped out and wrapped itself around her. Squeezing her body tightly. It felt as if all the air was being crushed out of her. The Alchemist wiggled side to side the best she could to loosen its grip but it did nothing more than cause the branch to tighten.
She couldn't even squeak out a call for help. Let alone even look at Cricket as she was pretty sure the teacher was burning a hole right through her.

West hadn't initially noticed the smell. Hell, some of the students had worse B.O. than this on a normal day. It was only when they got deeper and it intensified that the demon pulled a face, shuffling after Cricket with a lot less enthusiasm. Where were the fuzzy little animals they were supposed to be rescuing? Maybe no one would notice if he transferred the reaper's arm to someone else's somehow and went back to his room...
When the braindamaged horsewoman clicked on her light, West snarled as he was grabbed, but didn't otherwise move for now. At least he'd learned where the smell was coming from.
It wasn't long until the boil put up a fight, prodding at the branch before giving it a solid punch. Much like the tatzelwurm's tail, he had no idea where might be the most effective spot to hit such a uniform assailant, so he started small. It seemed to do the job, but he still wasn't free. The branch didn't remain docile either. It scratched at West's face and arms until he grabbed it and held it as motionless as he was able while it continued to try to escape.
"Get off!" he shouted, most of his protest lost in the shrieking of the trees. He squeezed the branch he held as hard as he could, grinning while it struggled. Eventually it went still. Who knew you could strangle a tree branch? West grumbled as he moved away, brushing at his wrinkled clothing. Yes, there were plenty of other students and horsemen around who were still stuck, but at the moment he was more concerned with himself.
Frost puffed up and out at the tree. What was it with trees? He either had the urge to claw them, hit them with a sword, or pee on them. The last option wasn't exactly good give it being well, a field trip. So that left clawing and hitting with a sword. Lacking a sword- well that left claws. Sharp claws. As the trees ensnared him, Frost snarled in aggitation.
was this revenge for marking his territory back home?
Maybe. Nature and the goddesses were.. temperamental that way. Tangled, the wolfos yelped as he felt himself get more tangled in branches.
Nature was a b***h. he just kinda flopped over because it had been a terrible idea to try and trail after when told 'oh hey you probably shouldn't'
Angeline had turned into a statue of terror, holding completely still as she seemed to have stopped breathing.
Not for a lack of trying, but she looked like she was just going to die of fright right then, tangled up in branches, surrounded by the smell of rot and being touched by something that was distinctly rotting.
At least she'd be easy to find when everything was all over with.
Mjoll and Olivia had escaped the tree and followed Elk and while taking crickets advice Mjoll made sure her and her little duckling wouldn't get separated.
As they walked Mjoll realized they came to a serious of branches.... Mjoll frowned, "Come on Olivia!" she called as they started jumping branches.
As soon as Imryn heard the click of the flashlight, what is left of her stomach felt like it has just dropped through the floor. Especially after getting a bried look at what they were actually walking through, and for the first time she was very glad she didn't have legs to walk through all this. "Oh for the love of Jack... this is not going to go well..." she groaned while covering her ears and hoping that Cricket didn't kill them before the trees did. Though from how quickly they moved to capture some of the others, it was looking like the trees might just do the job.
"Was that really necessary? I get that it's dark, but was the risk really worth it?" She asked while trying to slice at the branch that was wrapped around her with her claws.
