The road to Volf grows darker—both literally and metaphorically—as the party follows the Crooked Path into a forest that seems to breathe beneath their feet. Bandits strike from the shadows, but the real danger might be the voices that echo from the trees… or the ones inside their own heads.
Things escalate quickly:
Bandits make poor career choices
A mysterious fungus delivers emotional insight (and mild hallucinations)
And the forest watches, quietly judging everyone—especially the listeners
No one's quite sure where the blight ends and the madness begins—but good news: it’s probably behind them. Probably.
Because on the Crooked Path, the trees whisper, the shadows move, and the warning signs are mostly decorative.
