Park Trail

[Blindsense]

"Sounds great!" She said, a bounce returning to her step. As they reached the top, she walked toward a little metal shack that was set up.

"Well, I've got this set up. There are some super night binoculars that Nathan lent me right over there in the metal bucket." She handed something to him from her purse. It's about an inch long and feels kind of rubbery. "Stick this in your year, okay."

"Umm... Okay?" He does so, placing the rubbery substance into his ear before setting up shop in the shed, binoculars in hand. "...Right, so don't get yourself abducted down there or something, kay?"

She looks at him without saying anything for a moment. Then a voice in his head says "BOO!!" Really loud.

Lance jumps about a foot in the air - banging his head rather harshly on the roof of the small shed. "THE HECK WAS THAT?!" he clamors, wincing in pain.

Rosetta breaks into a fit of giggles. "It was me, silly! That device lets me communicate to your brain without talking. Super stealthy!"

"Very funny," he replies out loud, rubbing the top of his head. "Now get down there before I decide to take my revenge," he fake-threatens, flashing a mischievous grin.

She giggles and promptly disappears. Should he look down with the binoculars, he could see her, highlighted in faint orange, walking through a clump of trees toward what appeared to be a camp fire

So far, so good. Lance continues to watch, trying to make out anything that could be deemed suspicious around the campfire.

[Bigmouthstrikes]

As she approaches, Lance might be able to see a line of hooded figures come out of a cave near the fire. Two of them appear to be carrying something in a bag that is squirming rather violently

Well, THAT was certainly sketchy. "What do you make of that, Rosetta?" he asks, wondering if the communication device works both ways.

[Bigmouthstrikes]

"That's a bit beyond sketch" Came her voice in his head. "I have no idea what this is about...I'm going wait another moment before just charging in though."

The figures dropped the bag on what appeared to be a large stone tablet. It was intricately marked, but with what Lance probably couldn't make out. They opened it to reveal a bound cheerleader! The figures then moved into a circle around the tablet.

"Awesome," Lance groans. "Cultist Kidnappers and/or Child Rapists. That's fantastic. What do we do?"

[Bigmouthstrikes]

"I'm going to bust them up!" She said, taking off into a run.

Down below, the circle started to chant. They did so loudly enough that Lance could catch a faint murmur of it himself. As they did, another robed figure, this one taller than the others with the skull of a horned bull on his head walked out. Fire danced around him. He appeared to be carrying in his hand a glinting silver triangular object!

Right. So here Lance was, sitting safely up in a tin shed, and Rosetta was charging after a group of likely-dangerous cultists - possibly armed, likely dangerous, and certainly creepy - with little more than the twigs and rocks around her to defend herself. Some backup he was... He quickly climbs out of the shed and dashes down towards the circle, making as much noise as humanly possible - he needed to get noticed before Rosetta if she was to have a chance.

[Bigmouthstrikes]

"how's it looking up there?" She asked him, oblivious of what she was about to run into!

"Stop moving!" he shouts as loudly as he can - both to Rosetta as a warning and to the cultists as a distraction. He picks up a rock and flings it at the head cultist, aiming for his head as he nears.
