[GM]Precious Fruit

With no clear direction to go, Pippa wandered deeper into the forest...or maybe closer to an escape? It was difficult to tell without knowing where she was and how she arrived. Regardless, there was no real indication of finding any escape and it almost seemed like the gnome was wandering in circles as each tree seemed to look the same after a while. A discontented gurgle erupted from the naked gnome's belly as her body expressed its discontent at not eating a meal on time.

The sun had fallen in the sky a fair amount when Pippa finally caught a glimpse of something different than the greens and browns of the trees and forest floor. It was a hint of a blue fabric laying on the bowed top of a root that jutted up out of the ground. She approached closer and found a desiccated corpse. Of what race, it was hard to tell. However, it was certainly a humanoid. The body was splayed out on the root and the exposed spine of the body was contorted in such a way as to suggest a fall from a high place. Tears and rips were abundant in the cloth and it was unlikely that what was left of the shirt would protect from any weather or abrasion. The trousers were in much better condition due to having been made of a much stronger material but had a slightly putrescent smell that made Pippa's stomach turn.

For a moment, Pippa wondered what occurred here but it quickly became clear with a quick lookup at the canopy of the tree. It would seem that this particular tree was a fruit tree. Large, spherical fruit dangled from the branches and it quickly became apparent that the ancient corpse on the forest floor had fallen to their **** while they tried for the delicious fruit above years ago.
