A bit into the forest Agent stops and rears up, scared by something. He manages to calm Agent down, but is now cautious and aware of any movement in the forest. As Octavius settles his horse and begins to concentrate on the surrounding environment, he hears the sound of something sizzling or boiling, alongside the sound of wood beginning to crack or burn. For a time he is unable to pinpoint where the sound was originating from, until a large, somewhat thick tree to his far side begins to topple over and collapse towards the racer; it seemed that the base of the tree had been burned, or rather, acidized by something, causing it to become unstable. Quickly, Octavius pulls back on the reigns causing Agent to dash forward just in time. The tree falls behind them with a resounding boom. As the horse dashes, a mouse darts out from the underbrush in the racer's trajectory with its rodent agility, startling the horse, and as it does, Octavius notices that the creature has projected a burning, vomit-like substance through a spitting motion at one of Agent's feet.

Once the tree collapses and settles, a wolf dashes across its trunk, its saliva burning the bark and wood as it swiftly moves into a flanking position in order to catch Octavius and his horse from behind, snarling aggressively all the while; in the panic and rush of the situation at hand, the racer can only barely notice the clawed, hand-like parasite grasping the backs of the animal's heads, with their clawed fingers digging in as the wolf spits a globule of acid towards Agent of Fortune's rear. Octavius reacts quickly, jumpin diagonally off of Agent into a clear area between two trees, the push also gave Agent the signal to dodge, to which agent quickly darts right. (dodging the acid shot from the wolf, but the mouse's shot still hit) After which Agent runs away awaiting the whistle to return. The mouse dashes off to chase the horse as it veers away from the scene, while the wolf, contemplating for a moment, turns its snarling head towards Octavius and spits a spray of corrosive acid in his direction, burning the trees and earth around him, before leaping from its position on the trunk in an attempt to perhaps catch him and pin him beneath its claws and body weight. Octavius leaps back to dodge the acid, but a bit manages to land on his shoe. Upon landing Octavius makes a hasty attempt to remove the shoe. At this point the wolf leaps toward Octavius. As the wolf leaps toward him Octavius quickly jerks his head up and flashes a smile as a tree (untouched by the acid) falls onto the rear half of the wolf, completely crushing its back legs. Before the wolf can recover from the shock Octavius follows up with 3 shots into the wolf's skull. Octavius whistles for Agent as he moves away from the wolf's body. As the wolf lay dead, half-crushed and shot through the skull by Octavius' gun, the parasite attached to it detached and was swift to clasp onto the leg of Agent of Fortune, leaping through the air to attach onto its hip. When the horse whinnied and reared at the pain of the Stand parasite's 'legs' digging into its muscle and flesh, Octavius could see the hand-like creature crawling with unnatural speed around his horse, moving towards the back of its head - just as it had done the wolf. The parasite continues to crawl around on Agent until it reaches the bottom of its mane. As it begins to crawl up the mane it feels something odd, it had felt the a tarot card, specifically "the fool". Disregarding this the hand-like creature continued up the mane until it found another card "The Devil", it further continued until it finally found the last card - Death. Entire unaware of what is stumbled over it continued until it finally made it to the back of the head. It started to latch onto the back of the head, when suddenly a hand reaches up from the mane grasping hold of the parasite. (I need to explain this really quick. Anyway, alongside being able to manipulate destiny DFTR is also a destiny "enforcer", in other words in this case (where there is no possible way that Hungry Like the Wolf is able to meet its destiny) DFTR is forced to act on his own and while he retains his regular stats he also (in order to meet destiny) can rip the soul out of a person or stand and collect it into his cloak, damning the soul to an eternity of darkness) The visage of Don't Fear the Reaper appears in the mane as he slowly emerges. With his other hand DFTR rips the soul out of Hungry Like the Wolf and places it into the darkness of his cloak. With that, the last of Hungry Like the Wolf's parasites have been evaded; while most, if not all, had sustained wounds this day, they had all managed to escape with their lives from the hellhole that had been set upon them. All horses, barring Olivia's own, escaped with minor wounds, and considering the events of the battle, it was fortunate that no one had happened to die - a miracle, perhaps.

However, those who held the responsibility of a Corpse Part had been weakened by such a horrifying encounter; Depeche, the burns upon his flesh dealt by a combination of acid damage and exerting far too much of his own internal electricity, could barely remain aware and conscious of his surroundings and those around him. As of the moment, he was in a vulnerable position, although, saying that, perhaps all of the Stand-using racers were, as they had all sustained wounds of some form to recuperate from for the time being.

[NOTE: Encounter is over, you've all done rather well. Hope that wasn't too taxing, I did try and make it fair for you all to survive although I wasn't gonna make it easy for you, so I hope that you all happen to be alright with that - smart play from a couple of you guys as well, nice work.]
