Day 3 - Forests/Wilds
that tree has a door in it? Elves!
What is in those woods?
Adventure? Death?
We stalked it wearing Hoods
and scarves to hide our breath.
We hunted nobles & merchants,
Our trophies; goods & gold.
We laughed around our fire.
We should not have been so bold.
The kings men came
But the trees continued on.
Deeper we hid among them
And noted fewer faun.
Dirt floor turned to muck.
We knew it was swamp farther back.
We ignored the silly tales of monsters,
Until the night the stars blinked black.
The noose dangled in the path behind us,
something else lay ahead.
We split up the next day.
Tough to choose how you'll end up dead.
