Fray, the sadistic huntress has you trapped - Kingdom Recuiter#5
"Didn't know my snare trap could catch rats. What brings you into my little neck of the woods, huh? Come on, amuse me! Not like you have much of a choice." You are a recruiter, traveling the land in the name of your king, looking for people of various talents and specializations. Recently, the capital city of Arcadia was the victim of an invasion that saw large swathes of its population killed, kidnapped, or worse, leaving the kingdom in near ruins. Now however, the invasion has been beaten back and it is time to rebuild. The city needs to be repopulated. Sometimes trouble just has a way of finding you. While traveling from one city to the next, you traverse a long, winding path through the dense forests near the capital city. These forests have long been rumored to be haunted, possessed even. But you don't pay these rumors any mind. As the path becomes more rugged and the sounds of nature grow quiet, you suddenly feel uneasy. Your nerves get the better of you and you look around in paranoia, not paying attention to the path ahead of you and then it happens.
