Aisha suggests everyone get about 5 days worth of rations (if they can afford it) though she plans to get 10 for herself (Due to Tsavi) and that everyone restock any ammunition levels (or components) to a proper amount (22 arrows for Aisha) for once, not bothering to look for items that may be more than mundane. Let everyone get one good nights rest in the place they own, stop for one last warm meal before heading out.
Harmony would make sure to get the 5 days of rations before getting 100 gp worth of diamond dust and actually equipping arrows for herself to use if needed.
Garu realized she's still dragging around with the feed from her previous experiences. She will leave that behind.
Additionally, Garu would go shopping to get rid of her Chain Mail and buy a Breastplate. Additionally, she will buy 2 scroll cases to house the scrolls she carries.

OOC: Added 10 days of rations and 20 arrows to Aisha's inventory and removed 6 gp.
Added 5 days of rations and spell components for Greater Restoration to Harmony's inventory and removed 102 gp and 5 sp. I also removed the feed from Harmony's inventory since she was over carrying capacity and the feed would have presumably been in the horses' saddlebags anyway.
Removed chain mail and added 15 gp to Garu's inventory, then added breastplate and 2 scroll cases and removed 402 gp.

The departing sun casts a warm pallor over Ruskivek as you set out together on foot from the city's gates. The forest looms in the distance, drawing closer in the following hours until the view of the city behind you is blocked by trees and shadow.
A sense of unease grows on your consciousness as you grow closer to the forest's center. While no sinister forces or enemies make themselves known throughout the journey, a foreboding seems to gnaw at you as a pond comes into view. This body of water must surely be the target mentioned by Mitsi; the scent of roses makes itself known throughout the area, but as you glance around the pond's perimeter, there is not a flower in sight. The treeline is surrounded in a pink haze from the setting sun.
For Aisha and Garu:
Being skilled in tracking, you recognize the source of the eerie tension in the area. Despite the pond being a quaint little oasis in the forest, and the flora elsewhere in the forest teeming with wildlife, this area is bereft of it. At this hour, birds should be singing in the trees as they roost, and your approach should be scattering the pond's inhabitants, but you see and hear none of that.

Aisha perception: 19
Aisha is particularly skilled in specific creatures: Humans, Elves, and Kraul
Aisha's ears fall back flat, as most felines do when uneasy, angry, or tense. And she half-whispers to everyone else (Since Garu hadn't already) telling them all more or less what she was aware of. But also saying to everyone Keep yourr heads on a ... turn. This arrrea is tense.... unattural. And we may be being watched.... Hyperrrion... please watch our south. This one will observe our north.... Garu, observe our East, and harrmony, watch our west.... T'savi, Aisha hates to ask this of you, but approach the water... she says, putting her head into a nod in its direction. We will watch, and slowly move forward....
Aisha is asking Tsavi to be bait, while asking everyone to watch a cardinal direction like watch our 3, 6, 9, and 12 (basically.... > v < ^) essentially askign everyone to make a perception check in that specific direction as they go forward.
Garu shivers as she looks around, her fur standing on edge. “Aisha is correct - something is dreadfully dark here. It feels as though we have walked into a mousetrap.” Garu keeps her eyes and other senses focused to the East. She begins to move with purpose, slowly and stealthfully.

Harmony sees the pond, surprised before smelling the scent of roses and thinking that this must be the right place! The pink haze is cute, but there aren't any flowers around though. But then she heard Aisha, surprised and nodding as she was now watching to the west and moving along with everyone else.
T'savi's approach to the water elicits a low croak from a nearby frog, then another, slightly higher a second later. A third, fourth, and fifth ribbit follow in identical rhythm, each increasing in pitch until one of the frogs decides the panther is close enough for its liking. It splashes into the pond, and the others follow suit, again in rhythm only a second apart. The splashes ripple across the pond, more than they should for such small impacts.
The ripples turn to waves, which seem to extend past the water somehow and into the air itself. As your vision blurs before you, you feel a sudden and almost sickening temperature change, much more warm and humid than it was a brief moment ago.
When the ripples fade from your visions, you are still standing in a forest, in front of a small pond, all together and in the same location. Yet, the area feels much different than it did when you arrived. For one, the rosy glow of twilight has been replaced by a consistent grey and blue. The noises of birds and insects abound, and the smell of pine and wood carries a strong citrus scent.
For a moment, Aisha wonders if she had just finished tripping balls. The spectacle itself being enough to make one wonder if they were dreaming. Though she was glad that they didn't seem to have attacked T'savi, once in this assumedly new location, or perhaps in the same location... but it's 'true form' being revealed.... she did as she always had, making sure T'savi had made the trip as well, or if she was lost.
Regardless of what she found, she would then take a look around herself to determine if the tree's were the same tree's or if they had changed to something else than the kind that had been surrounding them... or if they were the same and the scent had simply .... intensified.
(on the off chance barty is waiting for an action..)
AIsha would, after confirming Tsavi's existence, move what to her, would be 'back where the party came from' to see if anything had changed, as she was worried this all may be a perception, rather than a reality.
(Or if barty is just busy, then I hope things are well, and take the time you neeed)

OOC: Little bit of both :) Meant to update last night either way, but ran out of time. We're in a very open area here, without a lot of clues to go on, so we'll need some initiative from the party to find the next story beat.
Let's get a general marching order for traveling (between front, middle, and back ranks) as well as any travel activities those in the middle rank may want to perform.
Aisha Survival:18
The strange teleportation seems to have worked, as Aisha is able to confirm many differences in the forest - varying tree placements form the first clue, but as she and T'savi explore outward, it becomes obvious. This forest is much smaller, and the sky carries a hue of purple and gray. The air as well seems to be lighter, a dizzying sensation as you adjust to movement on this moon.
Harmony heard the frogs, smiling until her vision blurred as she was confused before being able to see again. She was surprised as the surroundings changed a bit, hoping that meant that it worked and they went to the right place. She now wonders what is beyond the forest in this new area, thinking. "We should see what's out there, to confirm if we ended up in the right place or not." Harmony had said to the others, now curious and trying to adjust to the environment.
Garu will position herself in front to be able to check out the environment they’re walking into. She will look around and try to find signs that note activity.

Aisha will take the rear both because she is a ranger and to keep an eye from the back, in case Garu misses something. However prior to that she asks the others to wait a moment, both to allow the dizzyness to pass as they acclimate themselves and so that once that happened... she could climb a tree. Aisha's intent to be to get above the canopy and see if she can see an edge to the forest from where they are, and if not, look for a hill/mountain that rose higher, note its location, use the moss on the tree's to 'lock' the parties sense of direction, and suggest they proceed towards it.
If only so they could get their bearings better, look for a landmark, etc.
While in the rear, she will try to make sure the party is going the right direction at all times, since Garu was watching for danger.
Aisha's view of Skogyr, if this is indeed where the party has been transported, is remarkable from the canopy. The forest ends rather abruptly, leading to varying patches of wilderness. Plains, forest, hills, and vales roll rampantly across the landscape.
The most remarkable landmark in sight, which can quickly be seen atop a nearby hill outside of the forest, looks to be a quaint forest village near the horizon. The trees of the village contain houses and bridges nestled into a series of small mountains.
Two fairly large forests also present themselves, only visible to Aisha from the canopy, flanking this central forest to the west and east.
Aisha relays this information, including the less important, but more vibrant details. And suggests they make their way to the village or whatever it truly was Having kept her tail pointing towards it so as to not loose the direction, before using the moss on the tree's to 'lock' in the direction. And as no one else had suggested a direction... once everyone was in their marching order.... The party would begin to make their way there.
