[Shikamaru memorized the path from above; it looks a lot different down here, but he can pick out the bigger landmarks.
For now, he's focusing on silent moving over outright speed. It'll be hard outrunning most of the animals here, as they already know from experience, so better to start off not drawing unwanted attention to themselves. Shikamaru makes sure his pace matches Masaomi's, and checks to see if he's doing the same.
The farther they get, the more something ahead smells really bad, by the way.]
