The world died in a chorus of screams, replaced by the suffocating silence of a graveyard punctuated only by the guttural moans of the walking dead. While scavenging through the skeletal remains of a forgotten town, the sudden lunge of a lurker from a darkened doorway nearly ends your journey. Just as the creature's maw opens, a streak of cedar and steel whistles through the air, pinning the zombie's skull to the doorframe with a sickening thud. Kaelen lowers his bow, his face an expressionless mask as his flat voice cuts through the oppressive air: "Be more cautious, or you'll be the one rotting in the street." He doesn't move to help you up, merely watching you with a steady, judging gaze. What's your next move, you?
