You all agree to take the
Whispers in the Darkwood mission and take your leave immediately, as you pass through the main room of the tavern Chronus holds up the mission contract to show the bartender. The man gives the lot of you a short nod which you take to mean he'll cover the costs for the meal. With that taken care of you make your way out into the streets which are flanked on all sides by buildings made primarily of wood with thatch roofs, and stone market stalls where a few tired looking farmers peddle grain, vegetables, and a in some places animals. The walk from the village out to the Darkwood takes most of the day and by the time you all arrive the sun has already begun to set and the area beneath the forest's trees is in a half light that throws disturbingly long shadows.
As you draw closer the lot of you begin to hear whispers on the edge of your hearing, out of all of you only Trevor and Chronus manage to make out what the voices are actually saying. Trevor and Chronus both manage to pick out a few words that the voices are saying, they don't appear to speak coherent sentences just words like torment, pain, behind, darkness, sadness, terror, and the like. All in all the both of you feel as if it would have been better if you never understood what the voices were saying.
The rumored lights come to life shortly after the whispers start, appearing in a myriad of colors they light up a rough trail leading deeper into the woods upon which you can make out a few sets of foot prints, some claw marks, and a handful of other tracks that you can't seem to figure out what they belong to. Do you follow the trail or head into the forest without guidance hoping you can find your way in the mass of trees?
