"I think avoiding the town, just to not have to explain why we haven't located the missing children yet is reason enough to stay in the woods."

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

"So were staying here? Good. There's something bad happening in town and who knows how long before it comes to a head. Have any of you had any strange dreams or nightmares?"

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

[GnomeWorks]

[Jarval]

The woods stay eerily quiet, the sounds of the birds coming into roost and the occasional rustling in the undergrowth all strangely muted. The warmth of the spring day quickly fades into the slight chill of night as you settle down to sleep...

You leap awake at first light, cries of pain and panic coming as you look anxiously around you. The dreams of the previous night repeated for each of you, but move vividly, and the pain almost crippling as you break from your fitful rest. Again, those of you with familiars or psicrystals sense the fright of your companion, the night's events seeming to not just restricted to humanoids...
