Chapter 1

Yu are a young wizard seeking treasure and glory. To begin the story, Yu are walking along a path in the forest one day's journey from Star City, his beloved home. Night has fallen and Yu are thinking about how it might be a good idea to find a campsite. After all, Yu are in goblin territory, and it's dangerous to travel in the dark.

Suddenly, Yu smell something awful.

"Reg! Are you responsible for that outrageous smell?" Yu ask the worrior striding ahead of him.

"Pray, no! I am always downwind from my companions when i squeeze the bellows," Reg answers.

Yu realize that he have never encountered this stench before, and it is close...and perhaps it's his imagination, but is that muffled breathing he just heard? No need to panic yet, Yu think.

You grab Reg by the shoulder and gesture for him to be quiet.

Yu stand motionless for a few long seconds before he hear a low wheezing sort of breathing. Reg must have heard it, he raises his sword defensively.
