You ask Moonflower to scout around for anything useful.

Moonflower: "Got'cha! I'll be right back."

With a salute, the young bat pony dives down to the area below, while you take a moment to scan the hollow from higher ground.

Despite thorny bushes growing along the bottom of the slope, and countless trees shrouding the valley in deepening shade, you find that this stretch of woodland's undergrowth seems otherwise much thinner, and the groundcover, sparse.

Moonflower: "Hey, I found a way down! Over here!"

You spot Moonflower beckoning to you, and resume tailing her through the oats some more. Once out of the tall grass, she lands behind you next to Furia Storm, and you reclaim the lead of the small group.

You make your way down a much safer dirt ramp until you reach the lower ground level, then you circle around to the bottom of the mud slide. Your eyes follow the sliding and rolling imprints from earlier, all the way down to the thorny bushes in front of you. That's where the track ends.

• To the north is a steep muddy slope.
• To the east is a ramp up to the upper ground level, and the sound of a running stream.
• To the south is a stretch of woodland.
• To the west is the entrance to a small cave.
