Wilderness lessons
"Journal of the wilderness, mark one.
The first push in to the jungle proved to be ridiculous. Not even five steps ahead, we discovered a purple and green plant that could extend vines to pull prey in to its mouth. Iut has been named the trap pitcher but I think monster is a better thing to call this beast.
We lost five men to it before it descended back in to the ground. Now we must wait for another day and push in toward a safer place. Luckily, plant type beasts never come out at night without good reason. It needs the sunlight as any plant tends to need."
The first entry was exactly as Clark expected from the deeper wilderness which would hold more dangers. While short, this proved that even stepping across the imaginary line in to the deep wilderness was enough to cause some issue. Things would not be safe whatsoever.
