Some with trepidation, some with relief, all realised that the person who could definitely help them in a trial of nature would be the child of nature herself, Syra. She beamed with pleasure at the bounty of nature around, and danced merrily looking for exactly the correct item to combat the noise of the monster approaching.
"It's really very simple," she beamed, locating what she needed, "monsters just need love - a single pink rose for friendship!" Halk, Stamm, and some of the others slapped their hands to their heads and started looking for weapons. "Typical men!" she said in disgust, "all you want to do is hack at stuff." Wu-tse coughed. "Ok," clarified Syra, "all you men who are actually men" Azizi coughed. "Fine," clarified Syram "and you bloody adventurer women, typical barbarians the lot of you!" Leyla coughed. Syra pretended not to hear. "No wonder I prefer nature," she mumbled to herself, and putting back on a bright brittle smile she stood infront of the forest.
The rest of the party took a step back as the noise crescendoed, but she was unafraid. "Sounds big," said Halk tightening the hold on his sword. The fluffy bunnies, deer, and other cute animals leapt out of the undergrowth.
"They're attacking! Nature's attacking, get 'em!" said Stamm.
"Oh shut up, thye are just running scared, leave them along. Typical men." said Syra.
There was then a crunching sound, as if the undergrowth were being crushed by the weight of something. Syra held her flower unafraid.
"Whatever it is, it's scared the crap out of those animals - can't you smell that!" pointed out Halk holding his nose (if he had one, otherwise he just stopped up the gap in his skull to prove how vile the stench was.
"It's just nature!" proclaimed Syra smugly. Tough she was slightly unsure, after all what could...The source of the fertile greenery around was revealed as a gigantic compost monsters, piled high and 'fragrantly' seething standing tall. "Umm," said Syra, sudden;y not sure, but her instincts were quite correct. All monsters want are love, and this compost monster was no different. And infact a rose was the perfectthing for it, and it bowed its head to let the rose grow ontop of its head.
"Thunk...eew!" it said, brown tears rolling down from it's gaping eyes sockets. It came forward, hugged Syra tioghtly for the wonderful gift, and squelched off after first flicking a lever hidden in the forest.
"Oh, we've passed the first trial!" said Alex looking at the bottom of the screen.
"Nature's so...beautiful...." said Halk, with tears streaming from his eyes for many reasosn (even if he was a skeleton, to show the power of the emotion.
"..." said Syra.
"I'll never doubt how cool nature is again!" said Gothmo, his cynical nature disipated aswell.
"..." said Syra
"Syra, you proved us all wrong! I'll never be nasty about or to nature again" said Stamm looking across at the woman with awe.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGH!" said Syra.
"I HATE NATURE! NATURE CAN GO ROT FOR ALL I CARE!" said Syra in further clarification.
The rest looked at her stunned. She turned around in fury at the rest of them.
"I," she said patiently, explanatorily, and most importantly loudly and furiously, "AM ABSOLOUTELY COVERED IN SH-"
And so on. While the party try to drag Syra away, without touching her, from burning down the greenery and kicking the cute animals that have returned, it's perhaps best of you go on ahead to see if the teleporter block has disappeared, and see if the party can move on to the next trial.
