As we get into more dense forest, Gara stops for a moment and taps one of metal leafs on his shell. Slowly the vines start to move and slither of his shelf, forming into a small plant golem. The metal leaves forming some kind of protectiv mail.
“May i introduce you to Efeu, my new little guardian. He is kind of an awakened plant, but i made a few improvements on him.“ Gara will order Efeu to scout a litle bit ahead of the group. 20 to 30 ft. And while Efeu is watching out for danger, Gara can concentrate on looking for tracks.

Gara's metallic companion has no such worries and circles around the group looking for threats.
You can roll Nature or Survival.

Serit would have offered Gara A Northern blueberry as they first headed off.
Northern Blueberry - Counts a full meal and has a calming effect on whoever eats it. After eating the berry, the user has advantage on Wisdom saving throws, and a +1 bonus to Wisdom ability checks.The effects begin 10 minutes after eating and last for 8 hours.
Jardor takes note of Impisi's unease and attempts to calm him.
"Easy there beastie. You are part of a powerful pack now remember. Nothing to be worried about. Whatever is ahead of us we can handle together." He reaches out to place a soothing hand on the back of the large Scavenger, just below the hackles.
Animal Handling: 18 - To attempt to put the creature more at ease.

Do you proceed to C2?
(Sure, I will take point with Impisi at my side)

Just to get a feelinf, hiw long did it take to travel 1 hex?
Attack: [roll]3d20dl2+6[/roll] Damage: [roll](if([roll:-1:critical], =0, 1d8, 2{1d8}.expand()))+4[/roll] Sneakattack: [roll](if([roll:-2:critical], =0, 2d6, 2{2d6}.expand()))[/roll]As noted in the OOC thread, each tile represents a couple of miles, so takes 1 hour to travese at normal pace (taking terrain into account). I am assimeing you set off in the morning, so let's say it was midday when you reached the first tile forest area.
Let‘s move to the next, Efeu watching for danger again and Gara studying the nature.

Attack: [roll]3d20dl2+6[/roll] Damage: [roll](if([roll:-1:critical], =0, 1d8, 2{1d8}.expand()))+4[/roll] Sneakattack: [roll](if([roll:-2:critical], =0, 2d6, 2{2d6}.expand()))[/roll]You advance deeper into the forest. You and Efeu see nothing but based on your understanding of the land, you see that this area also feels wrong: there's still no wildlife, and the bark of some trees has scratch-like marks that you cannot immediately recognise.
Impisi is calmed by Jardor, but still looks alert as it sniffs the air around.
Jardor, roll Impisi's perception.
Lacking any real skills for this type of outing Serit merely strides along, his usual confidant self. He eyes Impisi and it's unease and then to Jardor, "Your beast is nervous eh? Probably need a good hiding. I find fear of oneself a great motivator getting over fear of others."
Impisi Perception: 13
Jardor smiles back at the bugbear. "He is used to being strongest in his pack, and so not used to having others as strong and stronger around to back him up. That can make one cautious of overextending themselves on the hunt. As he gets used to our pack dynamics that cautiousness will be replaced by trust."

Impisi begins to growl and sniffs the air some more. She then darts sideways, away from your initial path, towards a large tree. Under the massive roots you see seen a lynx backing down, with its back towards what looks like a hideout under the massive tree roots. The beast is almost surrounded by several wolf-sized spiders, circling around the hideout, making unnerving clicking noises. One of these foul creatures turns around without breaking pace in an alien way only a creature with so many legs can do and lets out a screech.
Roll initiative.
(DM, what is your opinion on Serit recasting his False Life at will spell every hour?)
Serit stops and narrows his eyes at the spiders, his internal fear of the beasts seeping from his hand and coalescing as a shadowed flail.
Initiative: 7
False Life: 8 Temp HP
As long as you are in a situation where it is reasonable (like right now, when you are in an expedition in hostile territory), you can assume you have it pre-cast.
1 Beware my awesome reflexes 😂
How far away are the spiders? Efeu was maybe 20 ft ahead of us.

(OOC: Does Impisi share my initiative score and act after me the way an animal companion would...or will he use his own initiative and be driven by you GM? In case it is the later, here is a initiative score of impisi that we can ignore if you decide he shares mine...)
Impisi Initiative (maybe?) 4
Founding Member of the High Roller Society. (Currently trying to roll max on 6d4)
Well keep Impisi's inititative.
Spiders: 4, 19, 15, 17
Spiders are around 60 feet away from you.
Spider1 runs in your general direction, but then runs up a tree and tatys on one of the branches around 10 feet up.
Jardor is next.
