Learn to accept & bend like the willow, for if you resist you will break like the oak

Medusa had tasked her with gathering a group of wolves and heading to the willows to give it a good look over, weigh the pros and cons, and so forth. Other groups would make their way out and scout the terrain, fight off predators, even check for good sources of prey, water, and herbs. Widow herself had never been to the willows, and so she took the time to make the trip out before summoning others. Just in case they had all been here before, as the leader of this team she didn't want to be uninformed.

The willow trees would offer nice shading and the water seemed cool, calm enough to soak and bathe while not nearly as worrisome as falling into one of the tarpits. Rabbits and other rodents scurried away as she wandered, and she was even pleased to see that it was a fairly sizable area, so all in all it seemed pretty useful. The only concern she could think that she had was that it seemed overgrown and would require some work to maintain, but she wanted others opinions. Maybe she was missing something, or perhaps someone had an experience here that was worth noting.

Once she'd given the willows a good self guided tour, she settled underneath one of the willows and called for the group to join her.
