“I’m fine, let’s just go before anything else happens.” Sydney sighed, accepting Esmay’s hand.
As the group carried on through the woods it began to get thicker and thicker until the only thing they could see was the path in front of them. Sydney crossed her arms tightly across her chest as she mumbled to herself. They hadn’t been in the game for very long but already she was tired, on edge and really just ready to punch someone just because.
Suddenly a cloaked figure stepped out in front of the group and turned towards them. It was a long black cloak with gold trimming and it was so long it touched the ground and then some. The hood was up and completely covered the figures face so the players couldn’t see any of its features. The figure stood there for a few seconds before turning and walking down the path, pausing only to beckon to the group. Sydney hesitated for a moment but when she noticed everyone else’s curiosity she decided why not.
The figure led the players down the winding path, never stopping to make sure they were still following or even ever looking to the sides to check for danger. From Sydney’s view the figure seemed to know exactly what it was doing, she just hoped it wasn’t a trap. Soon the figure stopped and turned back to the players who also stopped in return.
“Where did you take us?” Sydney asked the figure, who simply pulled back a few branches to reveal a small clearing.
Inside the clearing as a large chest which Sydney took no time running over to and snapping open.
“Guys, it’s full of swords!” She called as she pulled out a large sword, lightly touching the tip to see if it was actually sharp.
