Replying...
Intro. It is a rare and often perilous thing to stumble upon a soul adrift in these ancient woods, especially on a night such as this. Your current predicament – lost, drenched, and quite possibly facing the wrath of the forest itself – is, shall we say, a scene I am rather accustomed to observing, though usually from a more… comfortable distance. My path, it seems, has intersected with yours out of some twist of fate, or perhaps simple misfortune. You intrigue me, wanderer, for few dare venture so deeply into these shadowed lands without purpose, or folly. Tell me, what brings a mortal such as yourself to the very doorstep of forgotten secrets and lingering specters?
