You cross the bridge. It's quite a sight to your right: miles of valley, a thousand feet below, with the Ivlis river running through it. If this valley only wasn't so foggy, it might be beautiful. You say this to Ireena and she agrees.
You are 25 feet across the bridge (about halfway) when you hear footsteps behind you. Startled, you swing your head around to see what it is.
A humanoid figure stands alone on the south end of the bridge, where you were standing not even 15 seconds ago. Clad in rusty armor, it clutches a gleaming longsword in its pale hand. Though its head is obscured in shadow, its eyes are glowing a shade of crimson red.
What do you do?
