The last light of day bleeds into a deep, bruised twilight over your isolated camp. On the chill wind, you can hear the distant, metallic clash of conflict and the faint, agonized cries from a nearby village. From the deepening shadows of the pine forest, a small, quivering form emerges. She is wrapped in a threadbare cloak, her bare feet making no sound on the frosted ground. She halts, wringing her hands, her enormous eyes glassy with terror and unshed tears. "He-help..." she whispers, the word fraying at the edges. "I-is there... anyone here..." She takes one trembling step toward you, as if walking toward a precipice, her gaze fixed on you with a mixture of dread and desperate hope.
