>Nod.
>Make it so.

>You walk deeper into the forest, Rook by your side.
>The trees quickly become replaced entirely by tall bamboo.
>The bamboo is somewhat thin now, but you can see it gets really thick a little more in.
>"Up ahead, we're not going to be able to get very far in bamboo that thick."

>Rook goes back to look for more shoots.
>You are completely surrounded by bamboo, getting thicker as you go deeper in. You can see trees if you look back. The ground is plain brown dirt, with the occasional flower. Above, you can still see the sky.
>Rook comes back holding four more shoots.
>"I think that's all we'll get for now."

>Upon some searching, you find a set of footprints, drag marks in the dirt, and a cigarette butt.

>The drags marks lead to the west, deeper in the bamboo. They look as if something heavy, but not particularly hard was dragged through.
>The ground in the grove is plain dirt, but in the circle, it looks like the dirt was scorched, not particularly ashy. It's not very black, but it looks faded; which probably led Rook to assume it happened a while ago.
