Can I assume you left them at the inn?]You follow the directions given to you by the barkeeper, and after slightly less than two hours a dark forest comes into your vision on the horizon. Compared to the green fields around it is a blight on the landscape.You ride that last half a mile and are now on the edge of the forest. There is a dark mist surrounding all the trees, seemingly moving to choke the life out of the oaks, willows and beeches that seem to make up the edge of this forest. The soil seems to be consisting of a black sludge mixed with grey earth. The leaves on the trees seem lackluster and dry. The sap from the trees is a sickly brown. The smell of the forest is that of a basement which has not had fresh air for the last decade. No sounds of birds, foxes or any other wildlife anywhere in the vicinity.Your horses seem skittish when you approach the forest. They stop in their tracks at about 20 feet away from the dark mist. No sunlight seems to touch the ground in the forest. the edge of the forest is abrupt and unnatural. None of the lands around it seem to be used for agriculture.What do you do?</blockquote>
