You’re on your way to the lively town of Virelia, a place famous for its vibrant markets and friendly people. However, before you can reach it, you must navigate the perilous Whispering Pines—a dense, treacherous forest known to be home to dangerous bandits. The woods have claimed many travelers, and those who’ve entered without proper caution have often never returned.
As you approach the edge of the forest, you notice a small village nestled at the boundary. In the heart of the village stands a humble inn, The Pine’s Rest, its sign swaying in the chilly breeze. It seems like a wise stop to rest, gather supplies, and—more importantly—speak with the locals. They know the dangers of the Whispering Pines well and may offer valuable advice that could make all the difference in safely navigating the woods.
What will you do? Will you enter the inn and ask for advice before continuing your journey?
