Last choice: Which path will the party take?
“Walking roughly half a day through the woods to the north.”
... It did not take them long to decide upon their path. “The fastest and most straightforward path winds right through this forest”, Viola says and points on the tiny lines meandering through a thick, drawn forest on their map. “It’s settled then”, W.O.L.F., Camille and Genki chime in unisono - and Genki adds: “After a night’s rest we depart when the suns rise.”
The next day Viola, Genki and Camille meet up at the tavern inn’s front door to find W.O.L.F. already practicing. Just watching him punch thin air makes Viola feel exhausted: “It looks like this guy never sleeps. I need a potion to wake up …”
Genki, shouldering Batsumaru meanwhile is checking their supplies: “Dried meat, check. Cheese, check. Tons of nuts … check?”
“My lil’ friends here need to eat, too”, Camille adds with a shrug and points towards her two squirrel companions: “We’re gonna stay healthy guys, right?” Two kisses from her squirrels confirm her words. And with this she’s already on the road with long strides, Genki following in behind. Viola, still searching for another potion in her vial closes the gap a lil’ later. W.O.L.F. is walking, jumping and fistfighting his way besides them in the wet grass, the three suns slowly making their way to the clear blue sky.
Besides some random squirrels (which made friends with Camille’s, both roaming the thick forest beside the broad path) for three hours there were no encounters at all. Then W.O.L.F. who was still kicking and fighting non-existent enemies while walking was calling them over.
“Can you see that? No idea what it is, but maybe it’s connected to that ghost dragon? Or maybe there’s some enemies to fight?” His eyes are shining in a deep orange, like a fire starting to burn in the forge.
What caught W.O.L.F.’s attention, the others now saw, was a small clearing just 30 foot away from the main path with ancient ruins, thrown over pillars and stones covered with moss everywhere.
“Let’s check it out!”, he howls, makes a sudden jump forward …
… and crashes headfirst into the forest floor, Batsumaru entangled between his legs.
“Not so fast, dog-man”, Genki says, picking up her beloved hammer: “You want to get us killed? That’s not our priority, so let’s think this over first. And stop shouting.”
Viola, although she dislikes to agree with W.O.L.F., assesses the situation, her inner scholar awoken: “These ruins are not marked on our map. That’s really strange. We should check it out. This seems special.” With this she steps over W.O.L.F. and heads towards the clearing.
