The morning settles with a light wind and the sky turns orange with the raising sun.
The group was waking up when you noticed something odd about the missing path.
The shadows of the trees where wrong.
The where trees not casting shadows into others.
Then it click, you tested your theory throwing a stone to one of the tree trunks.
And it passed right through.
This was just a poorly made illusion.
The more you paid attention to details the more you could make out the true path.
The road was not gone, just hidden.
This revelation hit the ground with a mix of awe and regret for not realizing it.
“It’s a forest spirit then, there are some tales of strange magic losing travelers to the forest.” Niven declared.
“But why?” you asked the wizard
“Who knows.”
[“Soulless” skill advanced; (1/3) to level up]
You decided to cautiously advance through the path.
Making good progress once you got accustomed to seeing through the illusion.
Yet the elves could not tell the difference and
the others had a hard time telling apart the fake trees from the real ones.
You ended up leading the group until Emilia whispered to you.
“Anon, someone is following us.”
She discreetly pointed at a humanoid shape that moved through the forest.
Phasing through trees and not moving its limbs.
Like a doll of sort.
It was extremely off putting and it was definitely another illusion.
And it was effective at scaring the group.
Tog had jumped of the horse throwing itself at Jericho.
Who was just as scared at him but now had a kobold backpack to worry about.
You need some way to calm the group down.
Or some way of getting rid of this illusion.
“Master, the interloper must be near, its targeting us. Yet I know not the way.”
Ghal seemed pretty sure of his assessment
So the culprit is around.
What will you do? (Roll 1d20 Bo3)
