Randie: Into the Swamp

It has been years since Randie last ventured into Brinestump swamp. He remembered there were several trails leading deep into the heart of the marshland. One of those paths brought him to Old Megus's hut.

His dwarf and half-elf companions were preoccupied discussing which of the two paths to take. Randie kept quiet, feeling strangely uncomfortable and agitated.

"You've been here before?" Koru asked him.

"No. I've never stepped foot on the swamp."

The three men crossed an old bridge, leading further into the muddy terrain. Randie felt cold fingers brush across his nape. The young man saw, from the corner of his eyes, a ghostly apparition watching him. He looked away, pretending not to notice the spirit.
