Munchtree
It was during Tesla's watch that she heard some woman saying "Hello" a couple of times. She decided to wake up Rianna and follow the voice through the rotten vegetation. Rianna creates a makeshift torch and together they head of following the humanoid shadow into the mist. They call out to her "We're here!". It appears to be a woman and when she notices that she's being followed she continues onward, only slightly startled. She wades through the river. To avoid losing track of her, Tesla shoots a burning arrow to the other shore and they continue following her wading through the water.
Meanwhile in our camp, Octavia has also woken up to the sounds and wakes up the rest of us. We go after the sound as well.
Rianna and Tesla discover two other humanoid figures on the other shore. One who resembles a bearded man. The third is some green faceless creature. All three of them walk of into more vegetation. Looking more closely, the man seems to beckon them.
They reach a clearing with a huge weird tree in the middle. Tesla has an overwhelming urge to continue towards the tree, even against her own will. The faceless one is hugging the tree. By now the rest of us are reaching the clearing as well and Octavia tries to persuade Tesla to get away from the tree, as this isn't looking too favorable. It is swinging it's branches and some of its roots trying to grab on to Rianna and Tesla. All the bones and skulls littering the ground around the tree don't bode well either.
This is a sign for us all that this situation isn't working in our favor and should be dealt with. Finn sends Flux to attack the bearded man. I go for the same target, going for his throat. AS I bite into him, he collapses. But it leaves a very weird plantlike taste. I also feel as if my mutation went awry somewhat. For now unclear to me as to why.
Meanwhile Bolt is attacking the woman. Quickly followed by Finn, his dog and me. She stands no chance and shortly after she's also lying on the ground, dead. Rianna sets the tree on fire to escape the branches who have by now caught her. Luckily Tesla managed to get away already. The branches our now starting to move Rianna to a big gaping muzzle in the trunk of the tree. Due to the fire, along with slashes by both Bolt and Tesla the tree withers and dies and drops Rianna on the ground, but not before her foot is almost bitten of.
While Octavia is tending Rianna's wounds, Tesla and Bolt investigate the area. They find some trinkets, which might be worth something. Perhaps we can add them to the trade pile to get more water from Lutrell. Before we head back to our camp to recover and rest I decide to use Rianna's axe to sever the "heads" of the three humanoids which now have all turned into similar green faceless ones.
The next day, as I wake up, I think I know what happened yesterday when I set my teeth into the plant people. My beard has turned all viney and mossy, with very tiny red and blue flowers springing up here and there. I use my knife to trim my "beard" to manageable proportions. One I'm done, I see Ocatvia reading some thin book with a lot of pictures about a mutant who's able to regrow its body even when its head's been severed. I retrace our steps back to the clearing to verify this hasn't occurred to the three. I'm glad to see they're still their dead selves. A bit more searching reveals some bullets which I keep for now.
When everybody's ready to continue again, the rest of the group enter the floating vehicle and I continue dragging it along the river up the stream again. Halfway through the day we have a discussion about rations and such which we should bring for expeditions like this. It becomes pretty apparent we still got quite a bit to learn. I hope Tesla and her fellow stalkers can teach us a bit about prepping for trips like this.
Our last stop for now is a big concrete tower. This seems to be an excellent lookout point so we go ashore. But as we approach the building it collapses. A lot of squeaking can be heard from the rubble. Tesla tells us that this most likely is a big nest of rats. Not something to mess with.
