The room: gets flooded! And results in a slightly square-ish lake.

Weirdly enough, there doesn't appear to be any water other than in the room they just left. No lakes are visible, despite the water flooding in from beneath the ground and through the wall.

The forest itself: contains lots of trees. If they look up and over a few of them, they might notice that there is one big tree standing not too far away.

It might look familiar.

"Apparently we're back where we started."

"Hm," says Tyler, then grabs his osprey, puts it on his shoulder, and shoots off into the air.

"… Yeah, apparently," says Thario.

"Maybe the buildings will still be there. We could go check."

"Yeah," agrees Thario. "I think they were, uh–" he looks around a bit, then points. "That way?"

"Seems right. Is flying guy going to come back?"

"He didn't mention anything, just said 'hm' and then left. So, presumably but I dunno."

That way they go. Aleir rearranges itself on Thario's shoulders.

Through the forest walking.

Is the fallen tree still lying around?

It is!

… So are the bodies of those wolf-dog-things that she so brutally savaged! Look, they're so innocent and small and don't even slightly have sharp teeth or evil claws or anything.

So cruel.

"...Those were much bigger last time I saw them."

Thario looks at them, then at Elleira, and says, "Are you sure? Because those hardly look like evil predators, gotta say."

The keriol snorts. Quietly.

She rolls her eyes and gestures at the claw marks on the tree, and large, deep pawprints around the area.

"Oh, but those could quite easily be from the other evil predators that walked through here before you and these," he says, snorting a little. "Not."

Then Tyler's back!

"So. Big buildings, huge tree, weird forest. Also a lake – other than the one we just made – really far that way." (Point.)

"How far is really far?"

"Like… quite a few miles? I'd say, like, ten or fifteen miles or something, yeah– about that? It's also a pretty big lake."

"Buildings are likely to be empty, based on previous experience. We should go to the lake."

"You sure?" he asks. "They mostly had glass roofs and I think I saw a couple with stuff in?"

"If they're not empty, then let's go to them. They're closer."

Towards the buildings they go, then! Tyler flies, keeping up with the others.

Thario can run pretty fast. Still.

Elleira can not run quite so fast, especially when she picks up her lizard.

… Tyler offers to carry her.

...Fine. But be mindful of the lizard.
