Past midnight, the team staggered through a fungal gorge, the Verdant Warden Thorn Crowns' Thornstorm shockwaves splitting the earth, Earthcore Nexus pulsing like a dying star.
Clayton led, Shedskin cloaking his Verdant Lord aura, Regalia in bow form, Thornshade Dagger ready to strike at a moment's notice.
With his Territorial Sentience, he was the best scout in the team, and the best person to lead them through the night.
Torren, Veyra, Lorn, Kaelin, and Soren followed him, pagers barely functioning due to the energy disruptions of the clash of the 2 Thorn Crowns.
The Aphid Network, now 43 minions, hunted the stampede, Spore Crown reaping Embers, losing two Initiate Ember minions.
Territorial Sentience pinged Ashen Covenants' Ember Witches and something else… a Scorched Clans band nearby.
