(Hedge Patrol X)Following the Hoberflies

[Saber Sloth]

The clause fails to catch and the glamour fizzles into waste.

He keeps following his trail, but besides the newly changed hedge and it's now muted greens and browns nothing appears to be remotely familiar. But he keeps going backward-forwards? Over and under and through, vines, fallen logs, dead branches and live ones that wiggle as he passes by.

Something relaxes within him, he's far enough away now to say that he wont accidently take a wrong turn and trip into the pit.

another Wits + Survival please

[Vincent Black]

Well, I am sure I am far enough from the pit. But where am I in the hedge exactly. Damn these changes, the shift has really thrown me off. Vincent Black thinks as he continues to follow his trail. Hoping that he would hopefully see something remotely familiar. He just keeps moving and following his tracks.

He keeps moving, and slowly, ever so slowly things start to look familiar or as familiar as they could have, having only recently set to exploring this changed hedge, only now cast in darkness.

It should be easier to find where the 'Gate is now.

Perception please!

[Vincent Black]

Vincent slowly starts to recognize portions of the Hedge he had come from before. it was tough in the dim light of his glowstick and flare but he recognized the area enough to know that he could be close to the Hedge Gate. Finally Vincent Black thinks as he looks for the path back to the Gate and safety...

He does! He finds what looks like the half crumbled hard packed dirt tunnel that will lead to Funderland's main Gate!

Just a hop and a skip, burn a little glamour and he'll be home free!

....but was that too easy?

If you want to, you can roll Perception or Wits+Investigation

[Vincent Black]

As Vincent comes upon the tunnel that leads back to the Gate, back to the freehold, and back to the safety of home he feels a small sense of relief. But that does not mean you can let your guard down. Not until you cross the Gate. Vincent took a look around before making his way to the tunnel.

The shadows grow longer, deeper, his glowstick barely fights the dim but Vincent see them. The hoberflies hovering just out of reach of his glowstick's light.

...and they're starting to generate their pixie dust.

You can take an action before the dust reaches you, but I'd still like a Willpower roll!

[Vincent Black]

Vincent Black sees them through the dim light. So, you little buggers are back! Vincent Black draws his flare gun as he takes the top of his shirt and covers his mouth and nose.

The hoberflies start to glow, Vincent's limbs feel heavy. The flare gun falls to the ground, to Vincent's ears it's a dull thunk. The hand holding his shirt to his face falls in tandem with his other one.

He wants to follow the hoberflies.

He can feel him legs moving, the soreness, the aching falling into some distant part of his awareness.

He needs to follow the hoberflies.

To break free of the hoberflies hold, I'll need a Willpower -3

[Vincent Black]

Vincent Black felt the tug of the powder again. No not again, I will not do this again you little buggers. Vincent Black with his available abilities feels as his Glamour fills him giving him a boost of willpower to fight off the lure of the hoberflies.
