The group continued forward, exploring the forest and taking down a couple other Beasts, which they promptly skinned for anything useful to sell and then move on.
But after that discussion, as they moved deeper in the forest, Jax sensed a change in the environment.
The air thinned subtly all around them, as if being sapped away by something else. Sound dampening in strange pockets between the trees as if the forest itself were holding its breath.
Light filtered through the canopy in fractured shafts that didn't quite line up with where the sun should have been, bending at odd angles, dimming and brightening without pattern.
Jax immediately realized this was due to the presence of a Star Panther somewhere, and decided to help this group of Hunters find it silently.
