The ranger led the way up the mountainside, scanning the brush and rocky outcroppings curiously but also to ensure nothing leapt out to attack them. A cry from behind caused her to pause and she turned to see some of the feebler members of the party struggling up the incline. With a sigh, she waited for them to make their way up when she felt her feet getting wet. Stepping quickly onto a rock, she realized that a small stream had begun to flow down the mountain – and a rumble had began within it. Snapping her gaze upwards she gawked for only a second at the vast maw rushing down the mountain. Trees shatter at the immense form that slides upon the slick river and rocks tumble alongside it, an avalanche joining the bizarre beast. With a strangled sound of shock and horror, the ranger bounds down the hill towards her friends who tiredly look upwards only to be filled with a renewed vigor at the sight of the rapidly advancing slide-rock bolter.
