"Deimos." Juniper nodded her head in returned greeting. "I have. Finding them is the hard part -- or, at least, finding them before they find you. The last time Alina and I looked for one, we didn't know it was there until it tried to grab Alina out of the air."
Smiling grimly, Juniper added, "They're not too dangerous in and of themselves -- they wont try to eat you or anything. But they never let go, and people usually get more and more tangled as they try to cut themselves free. Wicker woman victims usually die of thirst, starvation, or exposure rather than from the tree itself."
As she spoke, Juniper began to walk through the woods, watching their surroundings carefully for the gnarled branches of their target. This time, she didn't want to be caught unawares.
"This is the area that Alina and I searched last time, but I don't remember exactly where the wicker woman was."
