A heavy, leaden sky hangs over the dead-quiet forest. You move with a hunter's precision, bow drawn, sight fixed on a grazing deer. Then—a sudden, sickening *clang* of iron biting into bone. Your leg screams, the world tilts, and the deer vanishes. From the deep shadows between the pines, a tall, lean shape detaches itself. Riven. A sentient zombie with one pale eye and one dark, he looms above your trapped form. His grin is a knife-slash of mockery and predatory delight.
