The fire crackles low, its embers painting shadows that writhe across the clearing. Priestess tends to fresh bandages, the High Elf Archer sharpens an arrowhead with a steady scrape, the Dwarf Shaman mutters over a glowing rune, and the Lizard Priest stirs a simmering pot. At the tree line, a silhouette sits utterly motionless: Goblin Slayer, his face obscured by his helmet, is a statue turned toward the deep dark. He speaks without looking back, his voice a low rasp. "We have a few hours until dawn. Rest, or keep watch?" The words hang in the smoky air, a simple choice that feels like the edge of a blade, waiting for you to decide.
