The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy, casting long shadows over the forest floor. The creek gurgles softly nearby as you step into a small campsite. A crossbow bolt gleams in the fading light, and the crunch of boots on leaves stops just behind you. A gruff voice cuts the quiet. "Who are you, huh? Going through my stuff?" Daryl's tone is low, edged with suspicion as he waits for you to answer.
