let's start hopping in the direction our friend points and have him scout ahead real quick and report back to keep us out of danger Need to keep that quad safe, let's see if we can secure it to our flute. best to keep an eye out for streams and fresh pools so we don't get dehydrated on our journey

Luvcow posted:Rabbit gestures to Little Bird questioningly about the owl. Little Bird grows nervous and sings a song of Old Owl who prowls the forest looking for prey, descending upon little creatures who stray from home or fall asleep too early. Rabbit grows nervous about taking a nap here.  I think rabbit should head to the mountaintop and see if little bird would like to come but does anyone think rabbit needs any other equipment/friends to make the journey? vanisher posted:best to keep an eye out for streams and fresh pools so we don't get dehydrated on our journey water, yes, that's a good idea maybe some friends to be found there |

Rabbit fastens the four leaf clover to the recorder with a bit of root then follows Little Bird and the notes. After some time the two find a stream flowing through the trees. Little Bird sings about the fresh clear water and takes a drink before flying over to the other side to scout ahead. Rabbit lies by the water, taking a drink and clearing his head, wondering if he has all he needs to make the dangerous climb up the mountain. Rabbit feels refreshed but pensive.

let's see rabbit has a nice warm coat, hopefully he's covered there a sturdy staff is always helpful to a hiker/climber, maybe rabbit could cut a good one from a sapling with his teeth a magnifying glass would be handy for lighting fires and deciphering small mysterious runes on the mountain, but to get something like that he'd probably need to meet someone who has such an artifact, or maybe come across a wish-granting fish in the stream sunglasses look cool and protect the eyes, is there a sunglass tree in this forest? (tldr let's look for a staff) |

We should clean our paw pads in the water to make sure we don't get a blister hiking up the rocky cold trails. Looks like there are some sticks and roots poking out, we should see if we can pull on one and get a little emergency food if we get above the treeline. Let's splash the water to see if there are any helpful water friends and to see if this stream is safe to cross.

 Rabbit searches by the stream's edge and finds a maple stick, then spends some time gnawing it into a suitable staff. After washing his paw pads in the cool water he pulls up some of the reeds and tastes their nutritious roots, storing some away with the clover to increase his provisions. Rabbit feels content. Little Bird has still not returned yet so Rabbit spends some time poking into the water hoping to find a friendly fish and gauge the water's depth. He spies something shiny on the stream's shallow bottom but it quickly becomes obscured as his maple staff stirs up the sediment.

Let's see if our root tugging turned up any tasty grubs we can share with any shy water friends Perhaps if one appears he can see what that shiny thing is Let's play our recorder to help entice a fish friend and see if our feathery friend is okay and can reply. Many streams are made from melting snow, we could follow the stream up to its source

 Rabbit waits for the water to settle then carefully swishes around some of the tasty roots, somewhat sad that no fish come to greet him. While holding some vines with one paw he reaches in with his other and manages to grab hold of the shiny object, pulling it up to the surface where he cleans it off to reveal an old magnifying glass. Rabbit plays the recorder in hopes that Little Bird will answer back but no echo of his tune returns to him. Rabbit grows fearful that Little Bird may have gotten into trouble. He is somewhat sure that he could ford the river if necessary as it does not run to deep or flow to fast.

Well if we got to go in the water let's be smart about it! Use the staff to feel for deep parts of the stream bed so we don't trip and fall. |

If we are going up the mountain, getting wet might not be a good idea, maybe a makeshift we could use to float across?

 Rabbit looks around to see if he can make some sort of raft to cross the stream, the cold water making him think of the chilly mountain climb that lies ahead and thoughts of whether Little Bird might need something warm too. From across the water Little Bird's tune faintly sounds so Rabbit pushes ahead and fords the stream, his maple staff helping him make his way. From behind him Old Owl's screeches echo through the trees, sending panic into Rabbit's heart.

good thing that, as a rabbit, we've got leaping skills! I'd say, as soon as we're close enough, take a mighty leap to shore dive into a briar patch keep still and watch nervously in the direction the sounds came from |

 Rabbit takes a mighty leap and lands on the far shore of the stream, scampering quickly to the safety of a patch of brambles on the other side. Little Bird's song continues faintly in the distance as Rabbit's heart races, something is flying toward him through trees. Old Owl alights on a branch above and glares into the briars at Rabbit then perks his head as Little Bird's song reaches him.

Plan of attack, option 1: Time to put the spotlights on old owl with a bit of magic recorder playing. Let's play him a lullaby which will light up the forest and make him sleepy. He'll surely fly back to his tree and take a nap. Defensive plan, option 2: Fashion some kind of rabbit/mouse decoy and toss it in the water. The streams current will take it away and the Owl will follow, we can then make our way out to safety and off on our path.

 Rabbit steps from his hiding place and begins to play the recorder, his notes float through the trees and reach Old Owl who beings to dance before flying about in joy. He lands on the forest floor and sings to Rabbit, thanking him for his song and promising not to eat him today. Little Bird's song still sounds in the distance.

excellent result Let's see if Mr. Owl can fly quickly to our bird's rescue. Perhaps he can gingerly carry us in his talons. e: we should set up some kind of trust test first to be sure we don't become his lunch vanisher fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Nov 11, 2016

We need to make sure that the owl doesn't eat the little bird. Play a song about the sun rising so that the owl falls asleep.

vanisher posted:excellent result I guess I wonder whether Little Bird's song sounds distressed at all? If not, maybe it's just encouragement for Rabbit to catch up. Since Owl obviously likes music, I suggest we promise him a duet of whatever music he likes best if he comes with us to find Little Bird. That way Owl has an incentive not to eat either of us, and maybe Owl will be grateful enough to tell us what he knows about the mountain. We could invite Owl to join us if it seemed like there was interest or a reason to do so. Traveling in Owl's talons is an interesting idea but might be a bit overwhelming for a landlubbing bunny such as ourselves? I dunno, I'll go with whatever other people think. |

 Rabbit plays another song for Old Owl, one about his friend Little Bird and Rabbit's journey to the mountain's peak. Old Owl sings again to Rabbit, thanking him for the tune and then gently picking him up in his talons, the two soar through the forest following Little Bird's notes. At the edge of the wood Old Owl leaves them, nodding goodbye then flying silently back into the trees. Rabbit and Little Bird rejoice at their reunion and Rabbit takes a few moments to rest and nibble on some of his provisions. The base of the mountain lies ahead, it's peak stretching high into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.
