The early morning light filtered through the thick canopy of the Tatawood Forest as the escaped team emerged from the safety of their cave. They were exhausted, but the thought of reaching the main road and finally finding help fueled their determination. The air was crisp, and the forest seemed quieter than usual, as if the trees themselves were holding their breath. The group knew they had a long journey ahead, but they were ready to face whatever dangers might still be lurking in the shadows.
Wraithwood led the way, his eyes scanning the forest for any signs of danger. The map they had been using showed that the main road was still some distance away, and the only route to it was to backtrack along Varrak Path. This idea was met with unease by the group, as Varrak Path had been the scene of the goblins' devastating attack on the tribal settlement the previous day. But it was the only option they had.
