Your first adventure, you shouldn't have expected it to be as easy as picking up a sword and dealing with the local monster problem, but hubris and blind motivation are dangerous tormentors. Now, as you walk through the thick underbrush of the heavily overgrown cave, you know you're way out of your depths already. A dark shape shifts in your peripherals, too obscured to make out its details.

You need not guess for long however, in an instant faster than you can process, you're knocked onto your ass. Your sword clatters across the ground, just out of reach. That's when you see her, a displacer beast, easily twice as big as you'd expected. Her eyes are a piercing cyan, digging deep into the depths of your mind.

Tiny cub, you wander into my den unprepared. Tell me, what is it you sought to do with that toothpick you called a sword?

she questions telepathically.
