The Dunhoof and Longneck are busy, and yelling up into the sky could be interpreted as rude and possibly not even heard. Best to approach the Serthis.

So that morning she was stalking along a little ways behind Holly, and every time the Guardian looked back at her, her frills went all the way back and she suppressed the urge to hiss. "Hmm," said Holly, "the path's washed out, but maybe we can find someone to help us out." "Maybe," said Chava sulkily. "Why don't you go that way and I'll go this way," said Holly, "and we can meet back here at noon?" "Hmph," said Chava, and she turned and went off in the other direction without another word. Sulking and hunting was not a very effective combination, but she did manage to come across a few tasty snacks. She spotted a blotch of heat in the distance with her other eyes, and as she approached, saw that it was a centaur gathering... something. Chava supposed she'd make a good guide, but she looked busy, and also probably not very interesting. There was also a good chance Holly would approve of the choice, so she was definitely out. Hmm. She scanned the breezy meadow, looking for movement and heat, and finally she spotted a Serthis basking in the bright spring sun. Chava picked her way towards the Serthis and pounced, careful to scoop the snake woman up in her fangs without harming her. Then she scampered back to show her prize to Holly, who would [i]so[/i] not approve. The Serthis, for her part, struggled and swore the whole way. (She even called Chava an overgrown pink podid, and Chava had trouble not laughing at that.) When she got to the place Holly wanted to meet her, she dumped the Serthis unceremoniously down onto the ground. "What do you want with me?" demanded the Serthis. "You're going to be sorry when the rest of my clan finds me! We'll turn you into luggage!" "I want you to be our guide!" said Chava. "Ahahaha, Holly's gonna be [i]so mad.[/i]" "What?" The Serthis' face twisted in that way that Chava had learned meant fear or anger. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" She tried to slither away, but Chava was too fast for her, and now her good mood was back, because this was a really fun game! "[i]WHAT ARE YOU DOING?[/i]" demanded Holly's voice from behind her.

The Serthis took the opportunity to escape. "She's usually not like this," she heard Holly say to someone else -- a [b](C.) Longneck armed with a skirmisher's staff[/b]. "I have no idea what's gotten into her." Holly's tone and her glare were both as icy as her appearance. "Aw, I was just having fun, I wasn't gonna hurt her for real," said Chava. "Our clan leaders would be [i]ashamed[/i] of you," said Holly. "[i]Antagonizing[/i] the poor beast like that!" "Um. I won't do it again?" said Chava. "...Especially not if you don't tell them!" she added brightly. Holly rolled her eyes at this. "She's young," she told the slightly worried-looking Longneck. "And usually not cruel like that. I shouldn't have let her go off on her own, I don't know what I was thinking." Chava wanted to bristle at that, but it was kind of true. So she trudged along in silence besides Holly and the Longneck, feeling like a stupid jerk while Holly made excuses for her. [b][C.][/b]

Scene Four

You sigh to yourself as you continue walking. If only you’d known earlier about the Mistral Jamboree’s changed location! But there’s no way you can turn back now - you’ve put so much effort just to get here that you need to see it through to the end.

You entertain yourself by daydreaming about all the fun things you’ll do once you get to the Jamboree. The hardest part will definitely be deciding what to do first! You’ve heard of dozens of activities, and of course you can’t forget about all the fun things you can buy for yourself at the festival.

The signpost simply indicates that each path heads in a different cardinal direction: you’ll just have to guess which one will get you closest to the Cloudsong!

Which direction do you choose?

A. North, where a cool breeze is blowing clouds across the sky
B. South, where you see several birds dipping and soaring in the air currents
C. East, where you can see strange shapes moving across the hillside
D. West, where you can see water sparkling in the afternoon sunlight
