Drop Bear Attack

For no real reason, Resin followed a strange scent out to the orchard where she'd collected the bees. It wasn't a dangerous scent, it was simply something unknown. Curiosity drove her to seek and discover.

The day was overcast. Every once in a while the sun would peek out from behind the clouds. It made travel easy for the thickly furred woman. Another strong whiff of smell hit her nares and she continued on. In time, she reached the source of the smell. There was an old dead tree with thick roots exposed That wasn't odd, but the strange fungi growing atop it was. Little nodules of earthen color barely visible beneath the dirt. They were the source of the smell.

Carefully, Resin dug a few of the little nubs up from the ground. The smell was rich and nutty. Entirely new to her olfactory library. She would take them back to Iolaire and would remember the place. Perhaps they were edible.
