"I will," said Heather.

Braedon chuckled again. "We should get moving, or they'll catch us." He began leading the way down a sloping tunnel.

Heather nodded her hand in agreement and then followed Braedon.

Eventually the tunnel opened into a chamber full of the mushrooms. The entrance to another tunnel was on the other side. He looked to see what she was wearing on her feet.

Heather saw his glance and said, "These are hardy leather boots. The cobler who made it was an acquaintance of mine and I trust his work."

"Just wanted to check. I wouldn't trust letting bare skin touch these things." He said, crouching down to examine the mushrooms for a second, before standing, and making his way carefully over the mushrooms.
Those that he stepped on puffed out little green clouds of dust. He trued to hold his breath, in case...

Heather quickly took a cloth from a handy pocket in her pack and handed it Braedon. She took another one out of her pack and pressed it to her mouth so at least teh poison would have to go through the cloth. Heather continued to step daintily.

"Thank you." Came his muffled show of gratitude.
He led them through the entrance at the end. It was dark, the walls seemed to absorb the light...
Braedon thought he heard a noise. But wasn't sure.

Heather muttered a "You're welcome" in response. Heather was abruptly surprised by the change in surroundings. "I think I heard a faint sound, but I do not know what it is," Heather responded.

Okami paused near the entrance to the tunnels. The large grey wolf could smell something coming up the tunnel. Two somethings.
Cautiously the wolf moved forward, not noticing the slight sound she made as she brushed against a tree.

"I know" he whispered back. Moving closer to her protectively.

Okami watched the tunnel entrance, hidded in the brush. For all that she was three seasons old, she still had a pup's curiousity.
She snorted at that thought, but after a moment she decided there was no danger in going inside to scout it out.

Largo looked down as a large black rat scurried past his feet.
He gave a small sigh, and his hand lowered from its ready position on his sword.
He didn't move away from her though, just in case. Though he didnt hear any more sounds from the tunnel.

"I hope that was what made the noise," Heather said in a low voice which wasn't quite a whisper.

"I think s--ACK!" Braedon half cried as a strange black creature pounced on him.
It was about the size of a bulldog, and a similar shape, except its face was totally flat, and was covered in about 30 eyes. It's paws were more a collection of claws.
Braedon had been knocked to the ground.
