LOREN
Seeing as last time Loren had tried to make it to the shrine at the Crimson Cataract he'd been halted by a forest fire, he hadn't managed to actually get there. So he set off to pray again, needing guidance that he was pretty sure he wasn't going to get.
He went anyway.
Sadly, the Wildwood chose not to cooperate with him. After aimlessly wandering the woods for what seemed like hours, he found himself deposited on the banks of the Stonesong, in an area he didn't recognize. Groaning, he looked around for anything he recognized. However, Astra bleated and pawed at the bank of the river, drawing his attention.
Frowning, he noticed the source of her distress. The water's flow seemed sluggish. Hesitating for just a moment, he grimaced and began to hike his way upstream. Soon enough he found the explanation: a hillside had collapsed into the river, creating a partial dam. Moving around it, he sighed when he saw the water building up behind it. If it burst unexpectedly, it could cause flooding later down the line.
His examination also revealed the source of the collapse. Tunnels had been dug all over the area. Crouching down, he spotted the culprits. There were vaguely platypus-like creatures merrily digging their way through the dirt with no regard for the damage they were causing on the surface.
Burros. He'd never seen them, but he'd heard them spoken of. Rocking back on his heels, he scrubbed his face, trying to figure out whether or not he should do something or just let nature run its course.
This is a PQ to clear a partial blockage of the Stonesong. It has two open spots, but more can be made available!
