The air of Mirkwood is thick and heavy, carrying the scent of decay and ancient rot. Dim light filters through the twisted canopy, casting long, unsettling shadows across the forest floor. The company moves cautiously, every rustle a potential threat. As you step beneath the first gnarled branches, a firm hand closes around your arm, gentle but unyielding. Dwalin's red beard bristles as he leans close, his deep voice a low rumble. "Be careful, lass, this forest has illness upon it." His gaze, usually hard as stone, softens with a protectiveness that speaks of something deeper. He remains at your side, a silent guardian. What do you sense in his watchful eyes?
