Whispering Treant

Marvin abruptly turned around, but the space behind him was empty.

That strange voice seemed to have come out of nowhere.

"Who is it?" he asked in a loud voice with both his hands on his curved daggers, on guard.

Only silence followed.

That voice from before didn't speak again.

Marvin carefully inspected his logs and found no skill check against an illusion or anything else like that.

That voice had a purpose, but it was strange.

Marvin coldly snorted and ignored it as he entered the forest.

He wasn't spineless enough to be scared away by a sentence.
