[IC: FS1, Northern Forest]

[enigmidnatic]

[The woods are pleasant and sprawling, if you ignore the standard camp inhabitants (zombies, toucans, etc.). The sun filters between rustling leaves, and a path winds between the tall trees and forks up ahead. A sign points towards the right fork and says only "MEADOW". The left fork has no sign, and looks far less travelled, and far darker

[let's go with right, for $100, Bob.]

[enigmidnatic]

[Heading for the meadow, huh?

The trail's pleasant, and it's a nice day too! You couldn't have picked a better day for travelling, really. It looks like the path ahead opens into a small clearing, and you might be able to make out a small wooden building and some fencing. Want to keep going?]

[thegooddouche]

[Feeling mighty pleasant with all this pleasantry abound! Looks curious at the small building and approaches.]

[enigmidnatic]

[There are two buildings. One looks like a small home, kind of cozy, made from wood logs and decorated with little flower pots and things. There's a cute garden out front with pumpkins growing in it.

The other appears to be a chicken coop. There are some chickens milling around the place and pecking at the ground here and there.

It looks like no one is home at the moment.

Do you want to look around a little more, or keep going?]

[thegooddouche]

[let's continue being nosy! Calls out a little]

Haha, this looks quaint. Is there anyone around at all? Hello?

[can we enter this house?]

[enigmidnatic]

[No answer! You try the door, but it seems to be locked. A chicken looks quite affronted that you'd try, though. It's eyeing you. It's onto your thieving ways, human.]

[thegooddouche]

[it's my rpg instincts, man, don't judge--wait. Chicken staring.]

[leaves the door and crouches down]

Hey there. I guess your keeper's out. Kind of weird seeing normal animals around here.

[enigmidnatic]

[...srsly why are you talking to me.]

[thegooddouche]

[BECAUSE IT'S WHAT HEROES DO]

[attempts chicken-headpat]

[enigmidnatic]

[ENDURES but you will so regret this indignity later, oh yes you will]

[thegooddouche]

[suuuure. Gets up and looks around again. Let's keep going!]

[enigmidnatic]

[More forest, only now you might be able to spot deep scoring on some of the trunks of the trees, like something with claws had a bit of a temper tantrum.

The path is totally safe, honest.]

[thegooddouche]

[. . . probably just a rogue Gorilla Deimos. is a bit more on guard, but won't let something so small deter him. MARCHING ON \O/]

[enigmidnatic]

[Nice marching! That determined marching is going to take you all the way... to a ravine! Betcha didn't know camp had those. There are the support structures for a bridge to cross here, but... no bridge. It seems to have disappeared.]

[thegooddouche]

[scratches head]

Now just how am I supposed to cross this. . .? I wonder if there are more campers on the other said.
