Good thing even invisible creatures leave tracks, or we’d still be seeing a whole lot of nothing. No, have made good progress now – evidence of their grazing habits, scat, dens, disturbed mudbaths – and have also figured out the revealing spells to put in place so we can observe without disturbing them. Rodrigo makes an excellent plant paste to rub on skin, or leaves to burn on the fire, to dissuade them from attacking us unawares – it’s mildly toxic to them, so they steer clear. Admittedly, Tambwe’s Portuguese is lacking, so until Lukinda spared us and explained, he was about ready to eat it.
Cutting across the hills to get set up at the lake before they arrive at the watering hole. Judging by the tracks it looks like we might see an Erumpent or two nearby as well. Should be a couple solid weeks of study.
