We head over to Mary's camp

• Indie is following us as we travel east towards Mary
• As we are travelling, Indie, Dorian, and Xander hear a series of sirens from various spots in the valley
  • Indie seems surprised by it, turning to sprint away to the north
• A giant form starts to come out of the Forest
  • It's slow steps seem to stutter, moving in shifting blink steps

We run back to the outpost to find the Foresters there, evacuating everyone to their saferoom

• Jo asks if we've seen Hen, as they haven't been able to find her since the creature showed up
  • We send out ravens to help find her
• Francis was reluctant to leave the animals behind, but eventually we force her to evac
• Jo mentions that the Whistlers are fighting the big thing, but relatively smaller things tend to fall off of it and cause harm
  • We decide to help find Hen and fend off whatever the creatures that get past the Whistlers are

The ravens start to circle an area, indicating they found Hen

• Tim sky-writes to Jo to let her know Hen has been spotted
• When we arrive, Hen and Coop are beset by a large creature, a Bark Flea. Likely one of the things that broke off from the giant creature the Whistlers are fighting

During the fight

• Coop squishes down and rushes up Xander's arm, taking the place of a dagger in his off-hand
