Guardian confrontation [closed]

WHO: [Group One] Rin Okumura, Wei Wuxian, Sierra Mikain, Akira Kurusu, Goro Akechi
[Group Two] Tonbokiri, (Blue) Saber, Maya Asano, Mordred

WHERE: The depths of the forest
WHEN: August 24
WHAT: Spurred on by the conversation started by Link, a group has agreed to confront the third and final guardian in the forest. They will travel together, and when they encounter the guardian 'Group One' will use their various abilities to try communicating with it.
Depending on what happens, they may or may not have to kill it... If they have to fight, 'Group Two' will take the initiative.
WARNINGS: None yet, but possibly great amounts of violence should they have to fight the guardian.


The group has been walking through the forest literally all day.

Tonbokiri has followed his previous experience to this point, leaving at dawn to strike deep into the forest. He is expecting that they will at least start to sense the fiend as dusk falls, but there has been nothing yet. He exchanges a meaningful look with Maya-dono. Should they try to turn back? Given recent events, they should not risk trying to camp in the forest...

Mikuniguro abruptly tosses his head and snorts, causing Tonbokiri to look around for what disturbed the horse. Of course, there are trees and the forest floor covered in shade-stunted grass. The forest's ever-watchful eyes are upon them. Immediately before them the land rises slightly, and just over a hundred meters on there is a long, low hill. Even in the meagre light their lamps cast, that hill seems particularly verdant--

Then two emerald-bright spots glisten, and the hill blinks at them.

As naturally as leaves bending in the wind, the hill unfurls to reveal a great dragon-like creature. For all its leaf-like appearance, there is no mistaking the might of the beast as it lashes its tail and extends pale claws.

Clearly, it is ready for a fight.
But they are not here for a fight. Not yet.

"This is not the fiend that we encountered before, but it has a similar presence. Be on guard." Tonbokiri warns.
