It isn't long before you note that the trees look... sick. Not quite dead, but definitely not healthy.

This has gotta be the place. What the hell could they be doing to cause everything to look like this?
Now that he's close he's gonna look for any signs of a campfire or any lights, or any sounds that there are people/garou nearby.

Not especially. It's right about then that the trail goes cold.

Ah fuck... Ulric thinks as he realizes the trails left him here in the middle of a really messed up part of the forest.
Ah fuck... Ulric realizes that the trail going cold means they probably got healed, are waiting to ambush him from above, or went into the umbra... None of the above are exactly good options...
Does Ulric know how to step sideways yet?

You can always try... besides, you're a natural channel... you just don't know it yet.

Man, what to do, what to do? He doesn't really want to just leave the trail and go looking around on his own for signs of the BSD's, but he also doesn't like the idea of going over to the umbra without having any idea what's on the other side waiting for him.
Well, he doesn't want to lose the trail. He's gonna try to go over to the spirit world. They said something about needing a shiny thing. I guess it's got something to do with looking at it. He looks around and realizes he really doesn't have anything shiny in his wolf form, so he shifts back over into homid and searches for a quarter in his pocket, then stares at it, trying to somehow force himself over into the other realm.

You don't see too much yet. Just a lot of really nasty looking trees. And it smells very rank here. Rotted. Disgusting. Completely vile. Still not seeing any tracks... well, until you find them where you left off. It's difficult to tell if you just walked in a circle or what.

OK, come on, I can do this. They said it wasn't that hard... it just took a little practice...
He stops and stares at the coin again, trying to somehow let himself shift over to the spirit world.

It takes you a few moments, and you're over.
If you thought it looked bad in the real world, it looks about a million times worse in the Umbra. However, you pick up the scent almost immediately.

He pockets the coin and shifts slowly back over to wolf form. He figures he's got a better chance of following the trail, and he'll be a bit harder to see this way... hopefully. He's not really sure how well hiding works in the spirit world.
He takes a good look around before he starts following the trail again, looking for any signs of sentient things around or any kinds of traps or bad things...

Hm... roll me perception+stealth, diff 6.
Most things around here look dead and rotting. Near as you can tell anyway. There's a bit of a greenish glow off in the distance.

Well, fail on the roll. Currently he's gonna try to start moving towards the glow, a bit more cautious now that he's actually seeing signs of possible life... or maybe it's just a weird spirit world thing. Either way, caution is the word.

You notice something off to your right. Your hair stands up on end as you realize that it's a BSD, and it's looking in your general direction. However, it doesn't seem to notice you.

Slowly... slowly... going to get lower to the ground and try to blend in with... whatever kind of vegetation or cover he can find. Hopefully the BSD heads a different direction and he can actually move around again.

Miraculously, he looks the other direction.
