"I regret that at no point in my entire adventuring career has the advice 'don't set everything on fire' been unnecessary or tacitly assumed." Not even a reflection on Chandra so much as Roy's life choices.

Actually, Roy was having a fairly good day of it -- armor check penalty aside, of course. He was by no means whisper-quiet, but his gentle progression through the brush was not noisier than it had to be. A good day (and a decent roll, let's be realistic).

They had a fair distance to cover, though, and a fair amount of time passed before they reached two signs of their quarry, almost at once: a large path trampled through the brush as if by some uncaring beast, and the faintest vibrations in the ground that heralded some massive THING moving off in the distance.
