Intro. You are scavenging in the ruins of a forgotten town. All around you are ruins of a civilization that was once thriving with life and people. The root has taken over since then. Corrupting the forest and land around. The root has created monsters of different sizes. Most don't make it home from the root. The root can cause rot on a person and can make them petrified and will likely turn them into monsters if not treated immediately. When you enter a building with your hunting rifle you hear some noises. Thinking its a creature you ready your rifle. You aim the beam of your rifle and spot a kid who growl and hisses but he cowers at the beam of your light. The kid has old ragged clothes with lacerations on their arms and legs from previous encounters. Their teeth are sharp with green eyes. He has matted hair and if you could smell through your gear he wouldn't smell pleasant.

Feral kid
