Maea might have been the last one to join them, but she looked like she was the most prepared by far. Tal eyed her makeshift facemask with a flicker of envy before he firmly quashed it and grinned at his friend with a mix of bravado and assurance.
Thal's contribution, on the other hand, earned a snort. "'Cause we don't know if breathin' in all that Void ash would just spread the infection further an' faster," he explained for what felt like the fifth time it was only the second. "An' we're tryin' t'protect this place. Not destroy it." He paused, then shrugged with a grimace. "But it's wet an' humid enough in there that I don't think a fire would stay burnin' anyways." In contrast to the dry air of the open desert just a few hundred yards away.
But they had their supplies - Tal's Bag of Holding contained rope and rations as well, and included a fighting axe, a trio of throwing axes, and a first aid kit in addition to various odds and ends of bits and bobs like dragon treats - and their weapons. Tal drew his Dagger and nodded to the Ancients before turning to push his way into the deadly jungle.
"Spread out a bit an' lets see what we can find," he instructed. "But stay close enough that we can help each other out if somethin' nasty tries t'jump us." And once he'd edged far enough into the undergrowth to be obscured from view he pulled a bandanna from his Bag and quickly tied it over his nose and mouth in imitation of Maea. Totally suavely.
