[OoC: I chose the portal over the tunnel because it seemed like you wanted me to move the story along. It didn't seem like Kiera was trying very hard to understand Toot's fear of the water and it felt like you were getting annoyed and just wanted me to have Toot just get on with it. When the option of the tunnel or the portal came up, I figured the tunnel would just take him to the entrance in the forest that you originally planned for Toot to take when Toot first started on his Journey. By choosing the Portal it would speed things up and get Toot to where ever you were leading him to quicker. It may have been a little meta-gaming to ignore the Tunnel but like I said, I thought you just wanted me to get back on track and not spend more time (possibly several days IRL) exploring a tunnel that would likely just lead him back to the portal anyways. But if I misread you then I can stretch this out and explore more as Toot would more likely do before jumping into a big scary portal.]
Toot loses his nerve at the last moment and says to Boo, "On second thought, maybe Toot missed Treasure down tunnel. Me think we should go check." Toot once again slides off Boo's back and pulls out his 10' pole. The little druid then carefully begins tapping the floor, walls and ceiling of the tunnel as they move in the direction the stomps are treading.
