Re: Lynn (Aust_Nailo)
Lynn managed to stand herself up and dust herself off as she looks around. She felt a little sore, but otherwise uninjured. She scanned the area, looking out for any sort of trap. Nothing caught her eye, so the obvious course of action was to investigate what had tripped her. She started to make her way back up the hill, scanning the ground more carefully now, looking out for any sort of trick and what had tripped her up in the first place.
Halfway up the hill she finds what tripped her up. A spot on the ground looks like it's got some sort of goo. She notices it now, it was a sort of dark blue green. It didn't stand out a whole lot, she only really noticed it since she was looking for it. She feels a bit better about getting stuck in it earlier. Leaning down to inspect it without touching it, she can't tell much. Just that it looks thick, like well...goo. A little discouraging. It didn't have any sort of smell, and she wasn't about to taste it or touch it again. Looking around though she found a few droplets that went off in a certain direction. Following them, they lead back down the hill, then up and around the side of one, through a short valley.
She took a few moments to consider the possibilities. Truthfully she didn't think she had too many, either follow the trail now, or wait for Mykal and follow it later. She could see some reason in waiting for the elder soldier, but she also felt that it wasn't really the best idea. From what the commander had told her, Mykal would basically be arriving to debrief her and receive the results. So that thought in place, Lynn decided she might as well follow it. She could stay stealthy and if she encountered anything, fall back and wait for support.
Of course, it was only about a minute of following the trail before it stopped. It went to the side of one of the steeper hills, disappearing partway up. It was upsetting, but she couldn't really just leave it there, more investigation was required. She started with the ground near the hill...finding it to be extremely loose. Digging the ground, she quickly revealed an entrance into the hill, it was a tunnel, leading downwards.
