Arriving in Kithika is unpleasant for the most part. Transport through the glass vessel deposits you in the middle of a thick and murky swamp, with air so hot and humid it feels as though one is breathing through a wet towel. This is a place of perpetual night and there are no celestial bodies visible overhead through the twisted vines to break up the blackness, making the only light visible that which comes clumps of marsh fungus that emit a steady glow in a variety of muted colours: pale blue, whitish green, watery mauve. The only other light comes from those who can generate it themselves and that will reveal numerous broad-leaved trees, in some places standing too thick to move through. Below, knee-deep water laps in swirls at their legs, accompanied by the occasional slithery feel of something moving in the bracken against wet limbs, gone before it can be identified. A variety of strange noises from creatures of the swamp fill the air with buzzing and hoarse croaking, interrupted by the screech of mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds darting past and hungry for a meal.

OOC NOTE: Characters will not be able to progress past the Temple and the Grounds for 48 IC hours after which point, the way to continue onward to find the dragon will be discovered. The second log will be posted on the 17th, to help spread out the tagging. Thank you!

He's not the only one making use of the trees. Batman is likewise aloft, though at the moment he's seated quietly, unmoving, simply surveying people as they path beneath or past him. Few people, after all, ever look up.

But the creature catches his eye as it moves past a short distance away, and Bruce tracks it a moment with his eyes. It doesn't appear to be part of the swamp, but it's not a foreigner he recognizes. Or a species, for that matter.

It bears further investigation, and Bruce makes a mental note of it, content to let the creature pass by now, but the forest takes that moment to shift violently, and Bruce has to drop - rather noisily, for him - into the water below to avoid being strangled by his own cape. It's... marginally undignified, all things considered, and he frowns at the resultant noise, glancing back into the trees where he'd last seen the creature to ascertain whether or not he'd alerted it.
