Jokul sat outside, lying on his back, reading over his map one more time.
It was accurate enough to not leave the Elysites totally lost, but still vague enough to keep them on their toes. They'd done well lately- they deserved a reward. Some new ground to cover, some excitement (that was much healthier than what the gods had subjected them to), what more could they want?
The sun was awfully bright today, though. Turning his head slightly, he sniffed the air. No, this was late-winter air, significantly warmer than December air. He'd goofed on the timing again. Oops.
Lifting a paw and smacking one of the loose rocks, he grinned as the ground began to rumble, the bells on his antlers jingling along with it. That'd do it, alright. Craning his neck, he watched an entrance to the cavern open up out of the ground. He turned back to his map and added the new entrance to it, then calmly laid the map on the ground beside him and shut his eyes, the rumbling slowing to a stop.
If the others came by, he'd explain what all this was. If not, well, he'd get a nice nap out of the deal.
/tl;dr: arctic fox with antlers chilling next to a newly-opened cavern, with a map lying around that can be picked up by anyone
/this was supposed to happen over a month ago but shhhh
