- As you approach the forest, an armoured man on a horse races out of the
- shadows. You draw your weapon as the horseman slows to a trot and heads towards
- you. "Lay down your weapon, I am not a threat." he says. You hesitate, but
- decide to go ahead. You sheath your weapon but leave it unstrapped.
-
- "I have come from a dreadful battle. I group of savages ambushed me. I
- managed to slay them all, but on the way out a Red Squirrel fell from the trees
- above and managed to rip blood from my neck. I barely esacaped the vicious
- beast's hold. If you can kill the beast, I would be grateful."
-
- "I believe you are new here. Be careful in that forest. If your hit points
- fall below 5, RUN! The ale in the tavern can be mighty refreshing. If you are
- looking for money out of the forest, only fight people. There is a healing well
- in the forest, but I can usually only find it once a day."
-
- "Something very important: if your strength and dexterity are 1 and you are
- facing an opponent with values of 3 or more, you are outmatched. Do not fight
- something that will rip your arms off."
-
- "Be careful, and don't be too brave to run."
-
- The horseman goes on his way. You continue on to the forest.
