Jax climbs down from the Treehouse and approaches the jungle tree line. He stops just short of it, and stands stock still, staring into it and listening intently. If he hears nothing more menacing than the insects, and sees nothing within his immediate area, he slowly enters the trees, halberd at the ready. He only goes in about 20 feet, and then turns to his left and parallels the tree line. He keeps his senses sharp, looking, listening and smelling. This place is new to him, and he knows it is the threat you don't see coming that eats you.
His primary intent is to not get eaten.
His secondary intent is to learn about the Monkoons.
His tertiary intent is to acclimate himself and learn the nature of the area around the town. (His new hive.)
He will follow the tree line, stay within 20 feet of it, and move perhaps a mile, all the while looking, listening, smelling and committing to memory.
Jaxsen enjoys a little solo recon mission amongst all of his tiny insect friends. He finds this jungle to be full of the tiny pests that annoy most folks, and that they come in every size and shape out here. As he revels in the cacophony of their beautiful music, he begins searching this thick bush for any signs of the thieving animals Randall wants eliminated.
Keeping close to the settlement, he starts combing through the nearby jungle to see what he can learn. He finds plenty of evidence that people have been in here before, (footprints, broken branches, etc.) but none of the furry creatures show themselves to him as he searches. A few things become evident to the lawful human almost instantly and he keeps track of them as he searches.
1) This entire area is void of any low hanging fruit or any other edible vegetation.
2) There is no normal signs of usual wildlife here or anywhere else nearby. The place looks completely hunted out.
3) The bugs around here are plentiful, the most the monk has ever seen in one place before. They seem like normal insects to his trained eye, but their sheer numbers are like nothing he has seen before.
After a few hours of searching, he finds that he has gotten himself a short way away from the town. (about a mile) Just as he is about to give up on his search to learn more about the strange tree critters, he spots one all alone in the distance. It is sitting alone on a tree branch watching him from about 15 feet in the air.
