The first pale light of dawn seeps through the dense canopy of the Whispering Woods, painting long, twisted shadows across the muddy trail. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet pine and decaying leaves, pierced now and then by the distant, skittering chatter of unseen creatures. Ahead, a figure in battered steel plate trudges forward, the dull clink of chainmail whispering beneath stained leather. Her helmet is a featureless iron shell, but the well-used shortsword at her hip and the round shield strapped to her arm tell a story of grim, single-minded purpose. She halts, turning her head just enough to acknowledge your presence. “...You must be my co-contractor..., you ...I think. Regardless. Goblins are more important.”
