[DD1] Snail Time
- Your path is completely blocked by what seems at first to be a smooth boulder. Upon further inspection, it is the shell of an enormous snail. What do you do?
Winona and her pet were down in the depths of the dungeons for another, smaller excursion alone to gather potential loot that could be of use to her and her little herd. She was stuck between a rock and a slow place, Skylar occasionally flying off to try and find a different way around the gigantic snail. The last thing Winona wanted to do was have to disturb the creature just for her convenience. The red roan Courser trotted back and forth to see for herself if there was a way around.
Many minutes would pass of this with no success from either Winona or her Osprey in an attempt to find alternate ways around the beast. She stood next to the living obstacle with a defeated sigh as she thought of what she could do without having to move the creature who was doing nothing wrong in her eyes. A few minutes passed of her glancing at the snail with a thoughtful yet subtle expression. She decided then that she would just have to see if she could clear it with a jump, she was big enough that she could easily clear it. With a walk back, the roan giant would charge at the gentle giant in an attempt to jump over it with enough clearance to go straight over it. The jump was the easy part for her, she was still nimble and capable like any other Courser. As she soared over the smooth shelled beast, it just hit her.
She didn't think to check what the surface she would be landing on was like. And said landing spot was not even, Winona was just going to have to crash land in an ungraceful manner. The roan at first landed on her front hooves, before they then buckled under her as she fell face first onto the ground looking quite the opposite of majestic. A good thing nobody could her failure of a landing, quickly rising to her feet with a huff and a quick shake off of any debris on her reddish coat as Skylar flew in to perch upon Winona's neck as she trotted off without even a second thought.
She would consider that a successful landing.
