[PQ] [HUNT] willow weep for me

Ronin heard them all out, focusing on each individual as they spoke of their skills and preferences; in the meantime, he also began lighting a couple of torches. "We seem to have a pretty even distribution of skills, which is good. Emmett and I will scout, then - Remi and Roana can go on the offence, and Melita and Arthur can defend the group." So saying, he handed one of the torches to Emmett and kept the other for himself. "Let's not waste time, then." Keeping his torch held low, Ronin led the group into the black thicket of trees, organising them in such a way that they would be able to react to a threat from whichever direction. Ronin walked with Remi and Melita, scouting from the front, and arranged for Roana, Emmett and Arthur to bring up the rear. It didn't take long for the silence of the forest to be disruped, ethereal, heartbreaking sobs echoing through the trees. Ronin raised a hand for them to halt. "Get yourselves ready," he said. "I'm going to try and bait her out - trust me." No post order! You have 48 hours to respond. Emmett will spot a lucky arrangement of saplings nearby; his axe would make short work of them, and they could be useful in the fight. Melita and Arthur will notice that the ground they are on is quite muddy and boggy - this wouldn't be the best place to set up a defence. Roana and Remi would be wise to use this time readying their weapons (or claws, etc.) RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
