Climb a tree to get a better view.

Vivia was sure she was close to where she needed to be by now, but what she was uncertain of was the direction she had to proceed in. She figured climbing up one of the trees here ought to give her a good view of the land, and so she picked the one that looked best suited for climbing, and began testing its branches.

Vivia had climbed many trees in her life, and was no stranger to the task. She found a good foothold in a knotted hole by the base, and deftly scaled the trunk, pulling herself up branch by branch. By the time she neared the top of the tree, she was able to see over most of the others in the area. From there, she spotted the one tree that truly did tower over the rest—the Zulgra Tree, just half a league north-east.

With her goal in sight, Vivia started her descent, yet halfway down, she set her foot on a branch that was especially slicker than she remembered, and it slipped out from under her.

Her hold on the other branches failed, and she fell. Her fall was slowed when a sturdy branch caught the front of her tunic, and pulled it up until she could fall no more, entangling her arms in the sleeves as they dragged them high over her head. Her momentum spun her around, twining her arms and sending her back-first into the trunk of the tree.

Cursing, Vivia struggled against the bark and the branches, and swung a leg up to try and gain some sort of leverage to help free herself. It only succeeded in getting her ankle wedged between two more branches by her hip, and she cursed even louder.

With her tunic pulled up, it obscured her sight, and all she could see was a slim view of her ample cleavage and some of the forest floor. She sighed, trying to think of how best to get herself down, when she started to feel another slick substance upon her skin.
