Entering The Temple

The party moved straight toward the temple. The quest they had taken was actually only to help reduce the number of monsters that had become too many in this forest. Other parties were doing the same thing, and they were all staying at the same inn.

Exploring the forest all the way to the northern ridge wasn't part of their job, but Jan had a feeling—if they didn't find the source of the rising monster numbers soon, something bad was going to happen.

They walked cautiously as they drew closer to the old temple. If there really was a clue to the monster surge in this temple, then it was only natural to expect a lot of monsters guarding it, right?

Their weapons were already drawn, and they stayed alert in combat-ready stances. But strangely, not a single monster had appeared yet.
