It’s getting darker the further you walk into the trees. But as luck would have it, it’s a moonlit night. You unsling your bow, wondering whether you can hunt.
Just then, a small figure approaches from your left, and you jump, clutching an arrow tight. “Who are you?” you say.
“A guide,” he replies. “Just one of the local mushroom-gobbling gnomes!”
And you can see that the figure is indeed a gnome. “Nice,” you say. “How much to guide me?”
“Free!” he yelps. “But forget hunting. Help me with a more important mission!”
“What?”
“Treasure! A great sorcerer just died.”
