As you travel, you can make out the sounds and movements of various creatures under the canopy of mushroom caps. You spot a number of 1/2 meter long insects flying around (their hind ends glow red periodically), and some flocks of smaller ground birds picking around in the soil. Every now and then they seem to panic and scatter.
After moving along for about 15 minutes, you hear a high-pitched blast from a horn. (Wwoooooooooooooooo) The sound comes from the forest, not far to your north, followed by the noises of moving creatures.
What now?
