Taka, having been able to feel waylines for some time, realizes what Coldtree is doing, and tries to aid him.

Tehn nods. "This still leaves us at my original question. Do we want to wait or see if we can drive it out. I think if one or two of us was to heat this pile from the back side, it might smoke the animal out. I seems to damp to ignite, which is good. I am sure you have already realized that I can make fire just by willing it. I'll bet you can too."

Taka says, "Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Let us begin."

Patience is not particularly the strongest suit of the youthful. The three young men place themselves strategically about the debris pile before laying their hands upon it. It takes all of 1 second for the pile to begin to steam. The natural wetness from the collection of the morning dew and the cool environment of the mountain heights makes the danger of igniting the pile, nothing to fear.
Some aggravated noises emit from the pile, voiced by more than one animal. The sounds are indicative of several of the familiar members of the varmints known as fowlers. Moving around to look at the opening, the three are confronted with the face of one of their meat thieves, and the preeminence of a particularly unpleasant odor.
Upon seeing the threat of people, the critter bolts from its hole, followed by its mate. The skunks are, bodily, about the mass of a person's thigh, not counting tail and head. They both make feral noises and tap their right hind leg, readying to stand their ground.

Taka hesitates, saying: "This is not a question of bravery, but is the risk of getting sprayed by a skunk of this size really worth it?"
Taka chuckles, because, of course, he plans to "face the music," no matter what; but in his mind, he is already trying to remember the list of herbs that his mother used to bathe the dog in whenever he would run afoul of a skunk.

Seeing what Coldtree intends to do, Taka, who is no stranger to Way Manipulation, will place his hand upon Coldtree as he does so, in an attempt to aid Coldtree's clarity and focus.

A Foul Affair
Tehn and the skunks both act at the same time. The two skunks turn to effectively spray the entire group while Tehn attempts to kick the innards from one of them. A horrible viscous liquid burns the face and eyes of the three young men while an overwhelming aroma fills their nostrils.
Though Tehn comes the closest to making contact, none of the three are able to touch one of the skunks. After the vindictive varmints spray the air, while each man rubs his face and gags from the fumes, the little beast scurry back into their hole.

Crinkling his nose, Tehn reflexively draws his hunting knife, but decides to kick at one of the smelly varmints, manipulating mechanical way lines in an attempt to add sonic damage if he makes contact.

Spitting and cursing, Coldtree retreats a few feet to rinse his eyes and mouth. With a sadistic grin, he says, "I was trying to touch them so I could convince them to leave this area and find a safer source of food. Now I say we kill them, and get the tanner to turn their hides into gloves. So I think we need to build the fire bigger, then when the little monsters run out, we shoot them full of arrows." He puts a friendly hand on Tehn's shoulder, "And just to be clear, yes I think we should do this right now."
Coldtree will help with fire prep and then take a position so he can shoot his bow easily at where the skunks will come out.
