As the others walk, Kiylea reflects on her various treks into the woods around the area and although nearly stumbling over a root, it comes to her; there's a small creek which runs down from the northwest hills and crosses not too far south of where they had encountered the boar, that may well be a decent place to start if the tracks lead in that direction.
The rest of you meander along till you reach the edge of the forest, and then skirt back towards the boar encounter. The ground is churned up a bit where the beast was downed, the dark blotches marring the earth most definately the creatures blood. You grow quiet, realizing that it may also be quite a bit of Kiylea's blood as well.
Kiylea examines the ground around where the boar first emerged, and she quickly picks up the trail it made crunching through the underbrush. Moving quickly, she is so intent upon the trail, she doesn't help much to clear the path behind her and the rest of you struggle behind, particularly Alton in his new armor.
She leads for quite some time, the summer heat relatively cool with the shade from the trees alongside the vegetation soaking it up. The forest gets thicker as you go in, and soon it is quite dense and the underbrush slows your movement even more. Nearly an hour since you entered the forest, some of you can begin to make out the trickling sounds of water. Yet when Kiylea disappears through a thick fold of vegetation and you hear a splash, you only put it together when you push your way forward and find her sitting in a relatively calm creekbed, having slipped on the rocks. The creek twists out of a view only a short way on either side and the vegetation obscures a great deal.
