Slinging the axe through your belt, you move around the smouldering house, and its neighbours.
No signs of bodies… then you see a slain man. You pick up a fallen arrow; the scent of blood.
Near the village centre, grass is trampled. Then you hear footsteps and spin around.
A slender archer dressed all in black, with a serious face. “Orcs did this,” she says. “Far ahead on my road, I saw them taking their prisoners to the forest.”
“Then I must hurry.” You fling the arrow down, ready to run.
“Wait! I will help, but we need a plan.”
Choices:
