Miller continues to follow the trail at a more leisurely jog. His radio crackles to life with a hushed voice. "In position now. Target's stopped. It's ... digging? Is... is it wearing a cape, sir?"
He rolls his eyes. "Affirmative. Keep a bead on him and maintain your position."
Similar reports come in from the two other soldiers, equally incredulous now that they've had an opportunity to get an eyeful of the thing they've been pursuing. The three soldiers coordinate and carefully triangulate their positions, weapons aimed.
"Got eyes on you, Commander. You're close," the radio whispers again, in concert with a flashed signal from a nearby rise in the terrain. Kaz waves an acknowledging signal and slows his approach to place his steps slowly, carefully.
Naugus' purple cape stands out against the lush greens of the forest, and Kaz freezes at the sight of it. He takes a moment to observe the wizard and consider the best course of action. Preferably one that won't start the chase anew.
