Watch your step

It wasn't long before Fendis managed to spot a fresh set of clawed footprints running along the stream. It veered off into the woods after a distance, and the four of them began creeping along the narrow game path in pursuit until they reached another small clearing. There, the tracks were joined by several others, mingling together before splitting into two smaller groups leading deeper into the hills.

Fendis gave her a nod, and Alis and Rosa moved over to one of the paths while Sigrid joined the wolfgirl at the other. Alis breathed deeply as she reached out to sense the ambient mana and started leading the way into the woods. However, they only made it a few steps before a snapping sound and a surprised yell came from the other side. They quickly backtracked into the clearing, Alis' eyes widening at the sight as Rosa stifled a laugh.

Sigrid was hanging from a rope around her ankle, jerking around like a fish on the line as she swore up a storm. Her long, pale hair brushed against the ground, while her skirt had flopped down to cover her face, leaving her lower body completely bare from her shoes to the neatly-trimmed bush above her quim. She spun slowly as her free leg kicked in the air, giving them a nice view of her round ass. Her spread legs caused the cheeks to separate slightly, and Alis even caught a glimpse of her puckered anus before she turned her head, blushing madly.

Fendis hadn't moved to help her right away, instead drawing her rifle and eyeing the woods around them with a scowl. When no kobolds revealed themselves, her shoulders relaxed slightly and she shouldered the weapon again. She drew her knife and turned to Alis and Rosa, who were holding Sigrid steady as they tried to figure out how to free her from the trap.

"Don't worry Sigrid! We'll get you down, we just need to, uh..." Alis said, trying to avoid staring at the vulva right in front of her face.

"Just do something! And whoever's touching my butt, get your hands off!"

While Alis continued to fuss over her, Fendis simply climbed part=way up the tree to slash at the taut rope tied around a high branch. It parted easily, Sigrid slipping through the other girls' light hold to fall flat on her back.

"Ow..."

As Alis quickly set about checking her for injuries, Fendis dropped down and bent to examine the crude wooden mechanism the mage has triggered. "Traps," she said.

"Guh- Gee, thanks Fendis!" she snapped, pushing her skirt back down and accepting Rosa's proffered hand.

The redhead nodded. "We'd better be more careful, then. There might be more dangerous ones than a simple snare."
