Hungry Hayley: Eat?
Captain: *shakes head* Why do I even bother askin?
RoughSailinPeg: *peers at map* it seems easy enough - at least til we get 'ere to this forest. Strange happenins I've heard come from this ere woods.

DD: *looks around shiftily* Stories that would curl the hair on yer head, lass.
*awkward silence as all ponder what could possibly frighten such a mean bunch of peerless pirates*
Captain: *cough* Anyways, let's move out, ye lilly-livered dogs!
General chorus of "Aye Aye!"
Captain: Considerin' yer previous experience with the navigating, DD, ye can be in charge of the compass
DD *holds compass tightly to chest, everyone looking at him expectantly*
*Hungry Hayley pokes DD in ribs* Oh, right. *DD looks sheepishly at the compass and map* East!
*all roll eyes as they are standing in front of the forrest* Well dah!
DD *again sheepish* The path over there *points*
Catpain: Righto, off we go!

Charity: You. Rough Sailing Peggy [act]eye twitch[/act] ...ye not be 'aving a peg leg would ye?
Lorey: I dont 'ave a peg leg..but I'v got me a fryin pan [act]hugs[/act]
Hayley: Anythin cookin?
Minnie: Will ye lot shut yer mouths...i dont want ta be attractin any of them foul beasts to us!
Charity: How about a shanty?
All: NO SHANTY'S!!!
Jaqueline: Though it probably would frighten the beasts away.
Minnie: Its not worth th' pain of hearin it. I wont be casting ye in my show.
Charity: Hey, i be recognising that tree...'ave we already been passed here?
DD: All these trees be looking th' same, how can ye tell them appart?
Charity: Easy! This one here be a plain sort of tree...while the one over there [act]points[/act] has a pointy sign stuck to it sayin "lookout 10k's", and that one there, it be what those peg legs be made of. [act]eye twitch[/act]
DD: Its not the same tree... we still be goin the right way.
Minnie: We follow th' compas.
Charity: Nobody move....
Hayley: Why?
Charity: I dropped my brain...
Peggy: You what?
Charity: [act]shudders[/act] That was odd, must 'ave been channeling somone...now i be feelin like a peanut.
Minnie: A peanut, for a brain - ye know Charity, I might use that in me musical...
Charity: Only if ye pay for it!
Hayley: Ughh, did you have to mention peanuts? [act]tummy grumbles[/act]
Lorey: C'mon Hayley - you had your fill of shark back on the boat!
Minnie: [act]glares[/act] Ship, thank you!
[act]Dan suddenly stops and the line halts[/act]
DD: [act]taps compass[/act] Ooh, arr, sorry. [act]turns 180 degrees[/act] Th' path's that way.
[act]the team start moving back around the Misty forest[/act]
Minnie: Yar, it be dark in this part! Who has the lamp?
Charity: Nay, it just be yer hat, fallen over yer eyes, Cap'n.
Minnie: [act]tugging it off[/act]...Yarr...anyway, who has the lamp?
Hayley: [act]about to bite the lamp - pauses[/act] That would be me, I guess.
Jacqueline: Lickin' it won't light it!
Hayley: [act]begrudgingly lighting the lamp, still wanting to eat it[/act] Why do ye immediately assign the fire to the Ashling, yet again?
Peggy: Aye now, we've been through this - it has more to do with ye bein' a ravin' pyromaniac.
Hayley: [act]holding up lamp, so the rest of the line can see the path[/act]...when do I rave?
Minnie: [act]holding telescope to eye[/act] Right, so, onward? Upward? Bit of a steep climb a ways ahead of us, methinks.
Peggy: Garr, [act]shakes leg warningly[/act] I not likes the sound of that climbin' for loot...
Charity: [act]looks up[/act] Aye - I say lunch.
Hayley: :D Right on!
Minnie: [act]scratches head[/act] While the others get a head start on us?
Charity: ;) a strategy lunch.

JS: But where we be getting the food from?
Hayley: Food is everywhere... [act]Can be seen staring at lamp like it has just turned into a big juicy steak...[/act]
Charity: You're always hungry. We've gotta decide what be the best way to do this challenge. We can't just run course and hope for the best.
DD: It's worked before.
Hayley: So we're not going to be eating are we?
All: [act]Groan[/act]
Loopey: Arr look there be a new tree! It says Lookout 1 kilometer up th' hill!
Minnie: We be almost half way there! Ye can have yer strategy lunch walking!
Haley: *stops walking and turns around to face minnie* but i wants me lunch now!
DD: *walks into a tree as the light is now shining in the wrong direction* Owch!! Give a man some warnin' when ye be about to turn around ye peanut!
*howl in the distance and everything goes quiet*
DD: *whispers* Oh my Lud, what in the name of the seven seas was that*
*everyone looks in different directions*
Slashin' Minnie: *gulps* I'm thinkin' we better be hurryin' out o' here!
*whispered "Aye aye" in agreement*
DD: Follow me! South east it is.

Hayley: *follows begrudgingly* I really liked the idea of the strategic lunch you know.
DD: The captain's right Hayl- if we want to grab us some of that loot we must be beating the other team instead of worrying about our stomachs all the time.
Hayley: *scowls* You know, there's more to me than just food!
DD: *looks expectant*
Hayley: I mean I'm sure you're wondering how a girl like me can eat what I eat and still maintain this great figure -
Loopey Lorey: *to nearby pirate* I must admit, I wondered how she was thinking of digesting that lamp...
Hayley: *shoots a glance* If I just wanted to eat all day I would have stayed at home.
Captain Minnie: That's enough back there! Come on - I can see the border of the forest just ahead.
*a growl can be heard again, distinctly louder - everyone freezes*
DD: Can't you stop thinking about food for 2 seconds?
Hayley: *sulkily* It wasn't me! *checks stomach* At least I don't think so...
RoughSailing Peggy: Then what may it be?
*a growl is heard again - followed distinctly by a hoarse cough*
Hayley: Okay - I can say with certainty that that wasn't my stomach.
Jacq Sparrow: I think it came from behind that bush.
*everyone looks at the rustling leaves*
Minnie: To arms mates!
*everyone moves their hands to their cutlasses, swords (and various cooking utensils) ready for whatever pops out*
*a voice can be heard*

The *cough* brave pirates remain unfazed by this...
*Charity pokes the bush with her cutlass, mumbling* Can't see nothin' that says this belongs to someone.
BEWARE; COME ANY CLOSER AND YOU WILL FEEL THE BREADTH OF MY WRATH *a sudden sneeze follows*
DD: *squares shoulders* well I aint scared, mates.
Captain: Right ye are. Charge!
*without further ado, the entire team charge into the bush, brandishing weapons/cooking utensils and yelling magnificently. To their surprise, they find a midget cowering in a hollow log*
BEGONE, BEGONE, FOWL MISCREANTS!
*the pirates roll eyes at the midget's use of the log to magnify his voice*
Captain *hauls midget up by ear* Oye! What's the meanin' o' this? We'm be peaceful travellers, lookin' for some treasure.
Hayley: *licks cutlass suggestively* Aww can we eat it?
*Captain sends Hayley a withering look* No! This... little guy is gonna lead us to the treasure *looks menacingly at the terrified midget* or else!
*everyone grins evilly at the poor terrified midget*
Midget: *stuttering* S-sure. n-no problem. I'll lead you, just don't hurt me!
Cpatain: *puts midget down and pats him on the back companionably* Sure, matey. Lead on.
The midget leads the Black Team on a secret path and out of the Forrest.
DD: There's the lookout!
(Edit: sorry Tanya *hugs* I was afraid when I was writing that someone would get ahead of me but didn't think I would get it front of someone. Ah well *hugs again* )

Midget: [act]batting away Tanya's hand[/act] Quit it, or YOU SHALL AWAKEN THE--
DD: [act]throws compass at him[/act] Cut it out.
Charity: [act]waving knife at the midget[/act] I dunno if we want to keep him, he's a bit on the nose.
Midget: [act]crosses arms[/act] It's the smell of nature.
Hayley: It be the smell of the lack of a sewerage system.
Jacq: [act]pointing at lookout[/act] C'mon - we're nearly there [act]to the midget[/act] Begone, ye foul beastie!
Midget: [act]forlorn[/act] But...what of my WRATH?!
Lorey: We don't care for yer wrath.
Midget: ...not just a little wrath?
Peggy: [act]putting arm around the midget[/act] See? Look at 'is little face. How can ye say no to that?
Dan: Easily.
[act]Midget does Puss-in-boots impression and goes wide eyed as music lilts through the trees[/act]
Minnie: [act]jumping to attention holding up sword[/act] Oi! Where's th' music comin' from, that's the overture to my musical! Who stole it!? Show yerself!!
[act]The music stops as the midget yelps and hides behind Peggy[/act]
Minnie: [act]glaring at the midget[/act] All righ', Peg. He stays for now...c'mon, lets get to that thar lookout already [act]trudges down the path[/act]
Peggy: :D I shall call him...mini me.
Minnie: Eh? You call me what?
Peggy: Not Minnie you, mini me ::)
