Emmett was happy to be chosen to work alongside Ronin, feeling like being along with the leader was important. He nodded and took the torch, copying Ronin by keeping it low and creeping along. As he walked, he felt a mounting sense of something that wasn't quite dread, not excitement either; just a tension, a knowledge this was the calm before the storm.
He did trust Ronin, saw something of a role model in the brave and charismatic captain. Eager to prove himself, he looked about for ways to be useful as Ronin set off ahead to bait the Banshee.
Spotting the saplings he quickly hefted his axe off his shoulder and swung to fell them, able with years of practice to aim well and strike true, cutting off the wood at the best point for it to fall swiftly and still in a good piece. Gathering the wood in his arms, he set to several jobs: building up some barricades around them, leaving some in a pile for general use, turning a few into standing torches to better light up the area.
When he was done he stood back and tried to ready himself, looking about the woods.

Emmett makes things with sticks: a series of barricades, torches and some all purpose sticks for anyone to use :-)

It burns too bright
I think about my self a lot 'cause it's the only one I've got
I've earned this life
What have I done to earn this life?
