Running into the forest, you see dozens of wallabies and kangaroos jumping past you. Overhead, you hear the cries and chattering of forest birds flying to escape the flames. Winston flies up and intercepts a pair of green rosellas flying overhead.

“Oy!” Winston calls out to the other birds,”Status report.”

“Most of the kangaroos and wallabies have escaped,” the first rosella says. “There is a family of quoll north of here, a baby Tassie devil that we found looking for its mum, three echidnas rolling themselves up into balls, and something...something we’ve never seen before stuck in the brush.”

“That thing is scary! It has a mouth on it that looks like it can unhinge itself,” the second rosella adds. “I wouldn’t want to end up on the wrong end of that!”

“Yeah. Careful if you go near that one,” the first rosella warns. “Just so you don’t bump into it, I’ll point it out to ya.”

The two birds fly off and you set off to help. It is difficult, but soon you have helped the quoll family, the baby Tassie devil, and the three echidnas to escape to safety. You approach the final trapped animal. You get close to what appears to be some sort of sleek, wolf-like creature with stripes on its back when you witness it open its mouth in an impossibly wide gape.

You notice that the creature’s foot is snared in a twisted tangle of vines. Any movement you make towards it is met with growls and aggressive actions.

“We’re just trying to help!” you say, but the creature looks scared and dangerous.

“There are more animals that need your help,” you hear from above as the rosellas fly by again.

You say:

“We’ll be right there after we help this one.” {W-6-C}

“This situation is dangerous enough. We certainly don’t want to be attacked, even by mistake.” {W-6-D}
