The plant god was nowhere to be seen. Come to think of it, neither were Milo and Huck. The only sign of life was the large group of Bushbeasts clustered around the mansion. They seemed aimless, laying around or pacing in circles. The largest of them sat closely together in a circle, the plants growing from their backs forming an almost impenetrable wall. Somehow you were able to catch a glimpse through the foilage, and you could see that in front of them was a hippo Bushbeast, lying prone on the ground. There was something... off, though. The plants growing off the hippo Bushbeast were brown and wilting. With a start, you realized that the glowing amber that should make up its eyes were gone, too.

Suddenly, you started to notice more and more of them. Four, five, six, ten, all of them motionless, all of them without their amber eyes. As you watched, vines encircled the hippo Bushbeast and dragged it into a shallow hole nearby. The large Bushbeasts pushed loose earth over the body with their massive claws, leaving it so that the largest plant that was on the creature's back, a berry bush, remained above the dirt. The biggest Bushbeast with the head of a lynx leaned down and touched its nose to the leaves. The bush turned green and straightened, becoming healthy and vibrant once more. As one, the group stood and moved solemnly to the next fallen Bushbeast. They looked like a funeral procession.

Something was definitely up. Investigate?
