(Johnny will find that the cause is a ruined Dragon Tooth Warrior that's seemingly been kicked into the trunk of that tree)
(and on the trail are three more of them, in a standoff against... Clarice!)
(the gal is holding up a Viking shield with an orange aura around it, keeping an eye on the three enemies surrounding her and waiting to strike)
C'mon, now...
(well, Homura - the path you're taking brings you to the most literal of forkroads)
(considering knowledge from your past mapmaking, both of those lead to the Half-Hill, from different sides)
(but, off in the distance, is the sound of marching)
(it's hard to tell which fork in the road it's coming from...)
-immediately draws his sword- Right then- Aelfi we're going to get some action.
Finally. -Aelfi grows her wings out of Johnny's back-
-He leaps up to try and catch the dragon tooth warriors off guard with an aerial assault, trying to stab one of them-

(that aerial assault did indeed catch one of 'em off guard, skewering it right through the spine and destroying it)
Haah—!
(this causes Clarice to spring into action, bashing the second remaining warrior with her shield before engaging the third)
(the second one staggers back, but then detects Johnny and growls at him, lunging at him with a sword)
(indeed... the marching trails off to silence on the right path)
(but when you wade into the fog, it gradually thickens - until you quite literally can't see where you're going anymore)
-having no time to raise his sword in defence, he tries to leap back- Oof- okay- I don't know how to parry- but dodging is better than nothing!
-if the dodge is successful, the sword glows golden for a moment, before shooting out a beam of light at the warrior that tried to kill him-

(well, this fog has a thick density of something very similar to magic all throughout it - in fact, it's the same stuff that seemed to emanate from Hoshi's jewelry)
(that being said... there is a vaguely detectable epicenter to this all, at about 10 or 11-o-clock)
(how far it is... that's tough to tell)
(dodging works!)
(however, the beam of light doesn't kill the Dragon Tooth Warrior, only blowing off its skeletal sword arm - roaring, it winds up for a punch with its remaining limb)

(DECAPITATION)
(Clarice is doing the exact same thing with her shield to the downed third DTW)
(think Tyrion against that one bandito)
(oh, nah, there's no way that even the tallest tree is tall enough for you to peer over this fog)
(though... now there's the sound of a... fireball being thrown?)
(from beneath you)
(its aim isn't perfect, but it's bound to hit close...)
...Hoo...
(lifts up Ginna's strengthened viking shield, resting it on her right arm)
Oh, it's just started. I got a tip from Hoshi - the fight's now being taken to the half-hill.
(DODGE SUCCESSFUL)
(granted... because of how thick this fog is, you can't actually see what's throwing it beneath you— ohp there's another fireball)

Either way- I'm gonna head back inside.
-Johnny in his infinite wisdom, is on his jog when he hears the tree fall-
I better investigate that... -before jogging in that direction-
