Mighty Magic Mountain Goats Are Go!

Okay, so it's really a Big Horn Sheep, but you've got to believe that there's a mountain goat around there somewhere (and frankly, if  I hadn't said anything, I bet a lot of people would have just accepted that it was a mountain goat.  Darn that little voice in my head that makes me tell the truth.).  That, and I just liked the title, so I'm going to stick with it.

It would appear that Cherry's plan is beginning to come together.  If she had known that all it would take for Kelly to crack was to get her trapped in one little rock slide, I'm sure she would have arranged it to have happened a lot sooner.  It would have saved them all a lot of trouble.  (Ah well, hindsight is 20/20.)  It would also appear that the forest animals are indeed keeping a close eye on our travelers and that the sturdy mountain scout is now flying off to tell the leader, whoever it may be, about the newest developments.
Or not.  Looks like the animals want to be sure that Cherry really is on their side and isn't just about to ruin things yet again, so it seems that they're going to hold off on the rescue for the moment (or perhaps our Big Horn Sheep friend has decided that the animals don't need to know about this just yet.  Could he be a double agent, working for the Avians, or is he just an animal gone rogue?).

As Kelly sinks deeper into depression, Cherry tries to lift her spirits by telling her that there's still hope: Moss and Brawny are still out there, so the day might yet be saved.  (Great.  They have to depend on being rescued by the guy who was bucked off of a horse  and the guy who was almost run over by a moose.)  On second thought, it might be better if they just started trying to dig themselves out instead.
