After about two steps, he hears whistling behind him, as Mugen catches up to them. Shilo also turns back, not paying much attention to Mugen, as he quickly turns back to the south, watching carefully. As Ghin advances, Shilo advances as well, with Jean close behind. You are walking towards a small grove of trees, with dense foilage and brush growing wildly about the area. You do not hear anything that would tell of any creatures about, and then you notice it. You do not hear anything! The birds are nowhere to be heard, and the wind is the only thing that makes any noise, besides the constant tune that Mugen was whistling.  Shilo becomes very still, and starts a low growl. Something in that grove seems to be getting Shilo on edge. Continuing forward, with bold steps, Ghin nears the brush, when he stops suddenly. He can hear the sounds of a creature gnawing at something. The sickening snaps of what appears to be bones and the meat torn off of whatever is in there meets Ghin's ears, and apparently Shilo's. The sunlight is not strong enough to break into the foilage and grove of tightly formed trees, but with a few glints of sunlight, you peer into the foilage, trying to find out what is in there. The sounds continue, oblivious that it is being sought out.  The grove of trees has over ten thick solid trees, of a height of up to 40 feet for the tallest. The branches fan out, making a natural canopy for whatever is underneath. The foilage is thick brush, mostly grass, but some bushes as well. The total grove seems to be about 50 feet wide where you are peering into, and deepens to about 60 feet back. The mountains are about another 60 feet to your left. To the right of the grove, you can make out the farmstead, with its fence not too far off. Probably at least 300 feet. OOC - OK, lets try this out. Ghin walked forward, slowly to the edge of a grove, and is now peering in. The grove appears to be only a few solid trees, but with rough foilage around it. Shilo is right by you, not growling anymore, but just waiting for a command. Jean would be 10 feet behind, and Mugen, can declare his actions as you two moved forward. Once you are all caught up on your actions, we can proceed.</blockquote>
