START
The forest was green and lush, air clean and crisp with the smell of soil and flowers.
There is sunlight beaming through the forest canopy.
The path through it windy and narrowing at some places.
So far, there hasn't been much activity.
But suddenly a sound roars from the depths of the green forest.
Sounding like grunts and huffs, along with metal clashing.

Deciding to ignore the sounds.
You continue on your way along the path.
Now making it to the village ahead!
With no coin to pay for a tavern or meal. It will be night soon.
So, it looks like sleeping on a straw bale or rice sack will have to do.
Though as you get there, you pump into a fair elven maiden.
You apologize of course.
She simply smiles and thanks you for apologizing.
"Where are you staying traveler?"

You explain that you have little coin and honestly no place to stay.
The elven woman frowns.
"How unfortunate, please, have this then."
She gives you a small stone that seems to glow a bit.
"Use that, I have no extra coin to spare, sadly.
But, if you follow the glowing stone it will take you to a friend nearby who can help you!"
You thank her, nodding and wishing her a good day.
The elven woman leaves and enters the tavern.

Deciding to take her advice. You go off and try an find where this stone leads.
Yet dark approaches quickly!
So you make haste.
However you really worry some as the stone seems to be leading you back the way you came!!
But, the elven woman seemed trustworthy.
So you continue, the night finally taking over the forest.
With dark shadows all around, it seems like an endless walk.
Horror stories have been told about the forest at night.
How could anything safe be out here!
Yet ... just in the distance there is a light.
A warm glow really.
So continuing on, pushing brush aside.
You find a camp!
A pretty nice one too.
Fire warm and big, with a pot already over it and some sorta soup cooking inside.
The smell is delicious.
Looking over at a tent, there is a LARGE Boar sleeping there.
It seems to snoozed out though to be bothered with you.
Just as your about to move though. A presence looms over you, and the stone glows brightly!!
Looking up, just behind you stands a huge knight!
Jumping out of your skin, you almost grab for your short sword.
"WAIT!" the knight holds up his hand.
"Haha, I mean no harm, this is my camp.
And, it seems you've been invited to it by the looks of that there stone."
He pointed out. Tone friendly and deep.
"Come, eat with me, It looks about just finished."
The large knight walks past and sits on a large log by the fire.
"Get warm traveler."
So you sit and join the large knight.
He offers you a wooden bowl of hot soup.
The meal is really good and it's clear the knight likes to cook!
With a warm meal, and a nice place to stay.
The stars a beautiful here.
The forest seems so less scary now.
You end up sleeping like a rock under the stary sky.
Wrapped in pelts the knight had to offer.

Deciding that this could possibly be a trick. You've never been given such a thing from a stranger before.
Plus the stone looks a bit profitable anyways.
So taking it to a nearby shop.
You sell it for a good chunk.
With so much coin now, you can afford a room and maybe a small meal!
You feel a bit bad, but it is only a rock.
Now, to the tavern, you don't see the elven woman.
That makes you feel a bit better.
So you get some food and at least fill your empty stomach.
However, as you eat you think to finally ask for a room.
Heading over.
You purchase one just for the night.
And head upstairs.
Yet, its rather quiet up here.
Walking over to your room, you hear a small thud from the room across yours.

Decided to go against the possibilities that it was anything normal.
You grab the handle, but it seems jammed!
The sounds continue on the other side, and then you hear a small cry!
So you ram your shoulder against the door!
Bursting through, you spot a shadow figure looming over the collapsed elven woman form earlier!
Without hesitation you run at the thief!
But they dodge and cut you!
With a quick grab of your short sword, you attempt a swing at them, but realize all to slowly, they are gone!
Where did they go!!
Hearing faint whispers from the woman though, you turn your attention to her.
She is hurt, but still alive.
So you pick her up and carry her out!
Calling for help!
THAT MORNING
You stayed at the elven woman's side.
The wizard not to far from the tavern took you both in after guards guided you.
He's been healing her since.
With a sudden surprise, the door to the place opens up and in comes a large Knight!
You move out of the way, as he approaches!
The elven woman is awake, and she smiles at the sight of the large man.
"I heard the news and came quickly.
My dearest friend, are you okay?"
He asked kneeling down beside her little bed.
"All thanks to this one, yes, please ... thank him."
She smiles sweetly.
The large Knight looks to you and bows their head before you.
"Well thank you, you have a big heart, please, take this as an offering of my thanks."
The large knight stands and gives you a golden apple.
It glints and shimmers.
"It it worth allot if you so wish to sell it.
Or you can eat it and make yourself immortal."
The knight takes off his helmet and grins.
"What is your name?"
Accepting the offering, you tell them.
This of course makes the big knight grin!
"I am Gale, good to meet a fellow full hearted person like yourself!"

Going for your room, you figure it's probably nothing.
And, worse you don't want to possibly step in on something private.
But the sounds did seem a bit off.
So, going inside your room and throwing yourself down on your bed.
You sleep like a rock, feeling all good and warm.
It was nice now to have at least a good nights rest.
And when morning came, you get up and stretch hands high!
Though as you leave the room, there is guards outside!
Knowing you didn't do anything, you peak past them to see the room across from you empty.
So you ask what happened.
"An Elven woman was attacked last night, she didn't make it."
Said the guard sadly.
"The attacker got away, so ... if you know anything, speak up."
But you shook your head, and thought about the elven woman from earlier.
Feeling like you should have checked out the sounds last night.

That you'll be staying at a spot nearby here.
Giving the elven woman a smile of confidence.
This makes he grin.
"Oh! You must be so brave to be heading out as it gets dark!
Best wishes then!"
The woman leaves, waving with such fair and hands.
Though that was a lie on your part.
You look around before walking off.
Having no plans to leave this place at dark.
You simply find a sack of rice far from the Tavern.
Hoping the elven woman wouldn't find you.
But, this is where you'll have to sleep till morning.
The piles of bags don't look that uncomfortable.
As night falls though, your empty stomach growls, but there isn't anything you can do about it.
Instead, you prepare and lay on the sacks, closing your eyes.
It is uncomfortable sadly.
But you do sleep.

With some interest, there is an attempt to check out where the sounds coming from.
Having to step off the path.
It isn't far, at least it doesn't seem to be.
Hidden behind the brush is a large set of stone pillars.
5 to be exact.
Then, between them is a very large knight, swinging his blade.
It clashes with a pillar.
Which causes it to suddenly glow blue!
However as he seems to try and strike all five, it looked like he runs out of time.
Just before he can strike the last one, all of them stop glowing.
How long as he been at this?

Waiting for the right moment.
It seems the large Knight tries 3 more times to complete this strange task.
But failing all 3 times leaves them a bit tired.
It's the perfect time to try and take them down!
Trying to close the gap quietly.
There is an opportunity to approach the moment the knight turns their back.
With a swift grab of your short sword now in hand.
Holding it out! Making a dash for the knight.
The first warning sign appears when the knight seems to look up slightly!
Thinking he knows, you duck!
Just in time as the large knight swings his own sword!
About to regain your posture to attempt to attack.
The knight suddenly kicks you with a great force behind their armored foot!
You have to land and roll away as he seems to approach quickly!
This battle is not going as planned.
Just as you get to your feet.
The knight this time turns their blade over swiftly and strikes with the butt end of their handle.
That's lights out!
Only upon waking up later.
The sun is down, and the forest is dim.
You are roped to a tree.
There is no sign of the knight, but that is the least of your worries.
Now creatures of the night stalk around, and you cannot reach your small torch.
Short sword missing too.
The sound of forest groaning and sticks breaking.
This is not the situation you want to be in.

Coming over, you join the knight.
He steps aside and lets you take a swing at it.
The puzzle seems simple enough really.
Just get all the pillars lit.
However, it seems to be really hard to get the last one.
You have to be unreasonably fast.
With your short sword, you almost have to sprint every time to hit the last pillar.
But exhausted by now, you sit down on the grass.
However you keep trying after a bit.
Even the knight gets a few around in with the stones, but with no success.
So much so that night actually starts to fall.
"Well I think that's enough.
I do thank you for the help though.
Even if we did not solve it today."
The large knight stands.
Sheathing his swords
"Here, come and eat with me. My camp is not to far from here."
To exhausted really to say no, and make the walk to the village now.
Night has started to take over.
And so the forest is much to dark to walk through.
However suddenly a sound catches your attention.
The sound of a twig snapping above you!
Just as you look up, seeing red freckled eyes.
The large knight traveling ahead comes rushing over.
Pushing you away!!
Suddenly a huge forest spider comes down from above!
It hisses!
"HAH! Now that was close!"
The knight pulls his large sword free! Readying to fight!

Staying with the knight, you pull your short sword free!
The two of you ready for battle together.
And as the large spider rushes closer.
The knight charges!
The spider raises its front to try and bite the knight!
But he slides under it and drags his sword under its belly.
While it lurches in sudden pain.
You run over and take out one of its legs.
Causing it to topple!
"YEAAH! GOOD WORK!!" The knight raises his blade.
"Heh, these beasts are more squishy then most would think.
So long as you take out their legs, they are pretty useless."
The knight hacks away at another leg.
The beast starts to curl up now.
"See, easy work. But the heart is back here."
He points the sword at its abdomen.
"Go for it."
The knight allows you the finale blow!
So stepping over, you impale your short sword through the monsters heart and finish it off.
"WOOOO!" The knight then grabs 3 of the legs of the large spider, and begins dragging it along with you both.
"This'll make a good meal for a few more nights."
As you follow, you make it to his camp.
The knight sets up the fire, and puts the bowl over it.
Already preparing the spiders meat to toss in.
The smell is delicious, as the knight adds more to the pot with small veggies, seasoning and of course broth.
You cant help but notice the large sleeping Boar by the tent.
"Oh that is Brot, my mount, do not mind them they are to lazy to notice you anyways."
He laughs.
"And, I am Gale! How about you new friend, please, with a brave heart like that, do tell?"
You smile and join them on a large log telling the knight your name.

Unable to control your instincts. Your legs take you from the scene with swift strides!
Leaving behind the knight.
After feeling like you got far away enough. You take the torch off your hip and strike it against a tree.
Lighting it up. You actually don't know where you are!!
Looking around, there isn't much to see aside from just dark trees, brush, and rocks.
Great, you are lost, and worse alone!!
Wandering in the direction you think might be the way to the village.
It seems like you've been walking forever now.
Every sound spooks you.
Your short sword remains on your hip still.
Suddenly your attention is caught by a faint glow!
Making way towards it.
The glow becomes clearer and clearer.
It's a campfire.
You feel some relief.
However, you make out a small disheveled tent.
And a found bags.
You don't see anyone around.
But that until you hear a twig snap from behind.
Spinning around, you are met with a club to the face!
Lights out!
WAKING UP
You slowly wake, realizing your are tied up.
There isn't much you can move.
Your body feels cold, and sadly you've realized that your stuff is been stolen off you.
With a few blinks, your vision becomes clear enough to see a man sitting by the fire.
Looking rather rough and wearing bear skin.
You believe you've stumbled on a thieves camp.
Your heart only sinks more one another one slowly appears from the shadows.
The glint of their dagger on their built spooks you some.
They toss a white elven crown at the other man.
Then drop down to sit by the fire.
It seems they speak amongst themselves in a tongue you don't understand.
However when they look at you, the blood runs cold from your body.

Shaking your head against the idea.
The knight simple shrugs.
"Well, good to see another face none the less!"
You nod and wave before leaving the knight to continue his attempts at solving the puzzle.
Heading back now though.
You still have no coin for the village ahead.
The walk through the forest along the path is not bad, but night starts to fall.
So, once you reach the gates of the village you are just happy to be inside safe walls.
There are quite allot of people out and about.
You almost bump shoulder with a fair white haired woman for a moment.
She gives you a small smile though.
Distracted by her gaze, you feel a sudden shove.
Coming from another direction, its some hooded figure.
You cant help but scowl.
And the being looks at you.
"Watch it," they snap!
Sighing, you simple keep to yourself, but you get horrible vibes from that person.
In fact, you swore you just saw them pick pocket someone.
But what made your brows narrow more was that it looked like they were following that white haired elven woman.
You look around for a guard and quickly tell them about the hooded figure following the elf.
They make note of it.
Though your not sure if they'll do anything about it, you go and find a place to settle down.
Some nice straw bales sit alongside a buildings.
So you rest there, as night has come, you cant help but doze off now.
NORMAL ENDING
Shaking your head against the idea.
The knight simple shrugs.
"Well, good to see another face none the less!"
You nod and wave before leaving the knight to continue his attempts at solving the puzzle.
Heading back now though.
You still have no coin for the village ahead.
The walk through the forest along the path is not bad, but night starts to fall.
So, once you reach the gates of the village you are just happy to be inside safe walls.
There are quite allot of people out and about.
You almost bump shoulder with a fair white haired woman for a moment.
She gives you a small smile though.
Distracted by her gaze, you feel a sudden shove.
Coming from another direction, its some hooded figure.
You cant help but scowl.
And the being looks at you.

Watching from afar, you see the knight attempt this puzzle 2 more time before suddenly you feel a squirrel land on you.
It causes you to jump slightly breaking a small stick and rustling some leaves.
Suddenly looking up now, the knight is no longer there!
Where did he go? The strange feeling of being watched now lurks in the air.
Senses going on high alert.
Then, a cold metal blade meets the very side of your neck.
Having no choice but to remain still now.
The moment is eerily quiet, all until sudden the blade is pulled away.
And a hearty laugh follows!
Quickly turning around to see the towering knight behind you.
The large man continues laughing, resting his large sword on his shoulder.
"Well now, sorry for that.
I couldn't tell if you had bad intentions or not.
I didn't mean to spook yah so."
The large knight offered a friendly hand!

Taking the knights hand. He gives you a good strong handshake before letting go!
"I'm Gale!! So! What brings you here traveler!?"
The knights tone is friendly and inviting.
Giving a small sheepish smile, you explain that you were on your way to the village nearby.
"Oh, that place can be dangerous, be careful there."
Gale then walks past you to the puzzle.
Not realizing that maybe that place was dangerous, you hadn't had any problems with the towns prior.
Though this would be your first time at this one.

You reach out an ask the Knight to join you then.
Unsure of what you might encounter there.
The knight seems to pause for a moment before agree to it.
"Alright!, Let's go then.
It will be dark soon anyways."
So the two of you head off into the woods.
Finding the dirt path.
You both walk along it and exchange small stories.
Once you both reach the village though, there is some hustle bustle here.
Gale though towers over most people.
You let him go first since it seems that he pretty much alerts people to move out of the way anyways.
"Do you plan on staying the night then?"
He asks.
You say you have little coin to sleep in a tavern currently.
But Gale shakes their helm.
"HAHA! No problem at all, I can get you one."
The large knight takes you to the tavern then.
heading inside, it was warm and smell so good inside.
"So, hungry at least. I know I am.
Since I wont be out in the woods making my soup.
I'll get us something."
Gale walks off to the bar.
You happen to find a table to sit at.
It's not long before Gale returns though and brings over some mugs.
"Here you are.
Let us drink then, food will be here soon."
So to pass the time while drinking.
The two of you play a small game of King Me.
A little wooden board game that is usually on the table.
You are good at it, and beat Gale every time.
You aren't sure if maybe he is letting you win though.
"I do not understand tiny pieces" he hums with curiosity.
So you explain the game to him.
But it seems the big knight doesn't quite get it.
"Alright alright! Enough games, it is good thing I did not bet anything on this hahah!"
LATER
As the night comes,
you both get your food and chow down.
You can't help but be so tired in the end though and retire you your room for the night.
You thought you heard strange noises from the room across yours.
But to tired to really make out if you are hearing things or not.
You go inside your room and lay down.
When morning comes, you get up, stretch and feel well refreshed!
You leave your room and can't help but notice Gale looking rather sour.
Asking the knight if everything is okay.
He sighs.
"Yes yes, last night a thief snuck into the tavern
He attacked an old friend of mine.
Luckily, I was here just in time to help get her to a wizard.
She will be okay.
I am glad I came with you ... else she'd probably not make it."
A smile returns on Gales face.
"We will visit her later!
So, what now!?"
Gale gives a friendly punch to your shoulder.

Deciding to still make plans to go there.
You bid the knight a farewell anyways. And, you even wish them best of luck on their puzzle.
To which the Knight nods and says the same back!!
Getting back on the path, your wonder what it is like at the village.
Though it surely cannot be that bad at this place.
The place looks okay for an average village.
Plenty of people out and about.
You feel someone bump into you though.
And quickly turning, it's a hooded figure!
You tell them to watch it.
And the figure just continues on after a small pause.
However you suddenly trip on something laying on the ground.
Looking down, it's a small roughed up pouch.
You pick it up and open it.
You wonder if that hooded being dropped it?
Looking inside though.
You pull out a strange ring, and also a note.
Opening it some.
You see that the note is about a scheme to murder someone.
You then look at the ring, see it has a dark gem within its silver bindings.

You decide to pocket the items.
Well the note not so much.
That you just rip up to bits before letting it blow in the wind.
The ring though looks like it could be a good sell.
So you look for a shop to do just that.
Upon entering though, the wizard of the shop seems to already be staring at you.
This creeps you out, but you still approach.
Telling them you'd like to sell a ring.
The wizard raises a brow before checking out the item.
"Oooh-oh-no, you cannot sell this here.
That is a dangerous ring.
Do you not know what you have there?"
The wizard looked at you.
You say no, and mention that you just found it, and were just looking to sell it.
The wizard leans in.
"You better get rid of that.
That ring brings only trouble.
Hurry, before it is to late!"
Seeing as you wont be able to sell the ring.
Leaving seems to be the only options left.
So now, you are empty pockets, stomach, and apparently in possession of a dangerous item.
Figuring it probably be worth more for just how dangerous it was, but oh well.

What a waste.
Walking away, you eventually find a pile of rice sacks.
You figure this is where you'll have to lay.
Stomach still empty, you plop down and just try and sleep.
Night eventually coming, your rest is a little rough and your body feels stiff.
But when you wake at least the morning son is warm.
So you get up and stretch.
To your surprise you hear a familiar voice call out!
"Hello!!"
Looking over, you see that it is Gale!
"Well if I had known you were low on coin I'd have given you some for a room!"
The knight approaches.
"Come, I'm just on my way to see a friend, you should join us for food!"
Now that is an offer you cannot pass up.
Your stomach is killing you!
So you follow Gale and go to the tavern.
Upon entering it, you see a table with a elven woman sitting at it.
Gale leads you over and the two of you sit.
The smell of rich food really is getting to you.
And you joke that you could eat the whole place.
"Oh yah! You're on! Bet I can out eat yah" Gale says, accepting a challenge.
So what the heck, you accept it as well!

A weird feeling comes over you, a sense of curiosity.
So, you slip the ring onto your finger.
Then suddenly black smoke and mist forms around you!
You attempt to pull the ring off! Yet its stuck!
Suddenly the sounds of crows flapping their wings surrounds you.
And then, you realize you are not in the tiny village anymore!
You're in some sorta dark tomb like room.
Stone walls on all sides.
It smells like smoke and other ingredients here.
Quietly you walk to the nearest door.
Peaking outside you see hooded figures in all black walking down the hall.
They look similar to that one you bumped into earlier!
Cursing yourself, you look around the room some more.
There are daggers, rope, some larger weapons like giant axe.
There is also a folded up set of robes.
Thinking quick you grab them and slip them on.
They feel very heavy, personally don't fit all that well.
As you head for the door, you wait till the other figures pass before going out.
You can only hope that you find a way out of here!
As you are about to round the corner, you see two more hooded figures coming.
You pause and then take a breath.
There is no where to hide so you try and calmly walk like they do.
So far they don't seem to notice anything.
At least until one of them stops and looks back at you.
Feeling their eyes beaming through the back of your hood.
"Stop."
You hear, and pause.
Remaining firm and still.
Heart beating violently.
As you hear the cultist shuffle closer.
They look down at you.
Reaching out, they seem to grab at your robes and fix them up.
Tying the belt better and adjusting the way the shoulder pieces fit.
"There, you must be new, all you new blood are so lazy with your robes."
The cultist give you a slap on the back of the head.
Then leaves with a sigh. rejoining the other.
You think how close that was, but continue your steady walk.
Looking back to see that they are gone, you book it down the hall!!
You have to get out of here!!

Thank you, stay safe tonight, there is danger afoot."
The guard waves over his fellow men and they begin to make their way towards the Tavern!
Feeling better now. You look around for a place to rest.
Sadly your stomach growls but there isn't much you can do about that.
So, you go and fine a stack of straw bales and rest on them.
With night coming soon.
It isn't a best place to sleep.
Sure you feel a bit stiff but it's better than being out in those woods.
When you wake, you stretch your arms high before hopping off the straw bales.
It's a good morning and the sun it out!
Looking around, you make a lazy walk for the main part of the village.
To your surprise, you see that hooded figure now chained to the villages main statue.
Which is a large set of knights with their swords pointed down before them.
That is where they lock up prisoners that have done serious crimes.
People stand around and throw rotten food at them.
The hooded figure seems to stare at you though, all before being hit with a potato!
You flinch when someone touches you though!
"Oh, sorry.
Are you the man that told the guards about that Raven Cultist?"
You nod, and realize you are staring at a young elven woman with white hair.
She bows before you and thanks you for doing that.
"They caught him just as he snuck into my room.
Thank you dearly, I wish to repay you."
The elven woman plants a gentle kiss upon your cheek.
It is considered a blessing and brings good luck to the user.
"Here, please take this."
She offers a pouch of coin.
Can your day get any better?

You step from the crowd and approach.
Then holding up the pouch, you ask if they are looking for this?
The hooded figure freezes.
"How did you get that?!"
You say that they dropped it, but you already know of the note inside.

The note didn't mention much details, so it could be vague enough to be true.
You sigh and reach for the note and ring that you slipped away.
Offering it back to the hooded figure!
"Thanks.
You can keep the ring honestly."
The hooded figures takes the note and folds it up.
You ask them what the murder had done?
Somewhat curious.
The hooded figure pauses for a moment.
"The woman killed her husband and several other people of her kingdom.
So I've been hired to put an end to her murderous ways for the royal family."
You ask why they don't just turn her in?
"All they would do is throw her in a cell.
The royal family wants a life for a life.
It's not my business to get in the way of that, I'm just hired to do as they want.
She is a murder,
wouldn't you want someone punished if they took someone away from you?"
You say nothing.
So turning and leaving, you decide to go find a place to rest.
You walk for a little bit before spotting a pile of rice sacks.
Not the most comfortable.
But, you go on and settle down on them.
Night comes, and your stomach growls.
But, your tired and so you lay down.
However your eventually waken up!
Feeling an arm grab you!
You blink a few times before realizing guards are grabbing you.
You ask what's going on?
"Don't play dumb with us murder and thief!" Says the one guard.
You are confused.
Suddenly the guards grab from your pouch a black stoned ring.
"Yep, this is the ring from the Raven Kingdom."
You don't understand what that means.
"Come on you, you are wanted for the deaths of
King Hanz and several other guards, and now, the murder of Princess Emerald."
Realizing you've been probably played by that hooded figure you try and speak up.
But, the guards don't believe you.
Claiming that no one can get a hold of a Raven Ring unless they were part of their slimy cult!

Luckily, the hooded figure does as you ask.
You watch them leave the village and enter the path back into the forest.
By this time it is night.
But, you do not pity their walk through the dark forest.
They deserve it.
Right?
THEY DESERVED IT ENDING
You are not fooled by their story.
They are a thief and worse a murder!!
Pulling your short sword out from your hilt.
You tell them to get out of this village or else!
To which the hooded figure flinches some.
Putting up their hands they sigh.
"Fine fine!"
The hooded figure leaves the alley.

Looking from their armored hand, you don't reciprocate the gesture.
Though this seems to not bother the large knight in the slightly.
Simply the knight put his hand down.
"Ah well not always so friendly after having good'ol steel against yah.
Understandable." The big knight nods his helmet.
"What brings you here, you were watching me.
Do you know this place?"
It's a simple question.
Yet, you don't know this place.
And simply state that to the large knight.
Who seems to take the hint that you were just watching and that was probably it.
"Ah well that's okay.
Again, my apologies."
The knight walked past, heading for the puzzle again.

Decided it is best to leave the knight be with their task.
You leave and turn back into the forest now.
Heading for the path, it isn't far.
Though along the way you can hear the cling and clangs of the knight swinging their blade again.
Wondering how long it will be before they actually manage to beat the puzzle.
The thought fades away though. As the dirt path takes you to the destination you've been seeking.
A village not far.
However, your coin pouch is empty so it will be rough night probably on a rice sack somewhere.

Taking a chance. You step out of the brush and approach the puzzle.
The towering pillars seem to remain a dull dark grey. Stones covered in moss.
Obviously with plenty of nick marks from the Knight and probably others attempting it.
"So you come to join me.
It is a simple puzzle really.
Strike the columns before they turn off.
But with each strike, their time is faster.
The last one is always the hardest."
The Knight firmly grips his word.
"Come, you try then!"
Gale walks over and sits on a large rock.
Placing his blade comfortably beside himself.
Pulling your own sword sword out.
Striking the first pillar.
It glows for a while.
So striking the next and then the next but one you near the last one, it seems to have already faded out the rest.
Again there just seems to be so little time to strike the last pillar.

You ask the knight to join you.
However the knight says that the stones cannot be fooled.
"Only one user at a time can solve it.
If I were to hit that stone and you hit another, it would just start over."
The knight chuckles.
"Trust me, I have tried that too."
The knight stands up though.
"Though now that you say that.
I would like to give another idea a try!"
The knight walks over and grabs a small stone.
"Maybe if I throw this and hit the second to last stone, I could trick it into glowing."
You step aside, allowing the knight to try this idea.
And as he swings his large blade, he throws the stone just as he is about to strike the second to last pillar.
To his surprise, it actually worked.
The pillar starts to glow and stays that way!
"AHAHAH! YES, it worked."
The knight seems happy.
He pounds his armored hand against his breast plate.
Then suddenly there is a flash of golden dust that forms in the middle.
Taking shape of a chest!
Once it materializes. The knight looked to you before going over and opening it.
Seeing that it is filled with plenty of coin!
"Huh, well, that is quite allot of coin."
He looks over to you.
"But I do not need this.
So, why don't you take it."

You refuse to accept the coin.
This sees to sadden the knight some. But, he nods and accepts that answer.
"Well alright. Hmm"
The knight slowly stands as he closes the lid to the chest.
Giving all four stones a good tap of his sword.
They flash before their glow disappears.
And along with it, the chest too.
"Well now someone else can try for the chest then!"
The knight turns to face you.
"Farewell then."
He waves.
And you two part.
It seems the knight went deeper into the forest.
While you returned to the path that you had came from.
With no coin, the village tavern will be to much for you to afford.
But, that is okay.
So you go ahead and make your way there anyways.
Entering the village, night has fallen.
Funny enough you already have found a pile of straw bale to lay on.
Just like usual, he sit on one.
But suddenly a sound catches your attention.
Peaking around the corner, you see a man in black robes moving some barrels.
They enter a hole in the stony wall to the tavern.
Your gut tells you that isn't good.

So you think about telling the owner, but ... what could they do.
The thief is here already, and the owner seems busy.
You don't see any guards around.
So casually you make way for the upstairs.
Thinking the thief probably never come out into the main hub of the tavern.
Walking the halls, you don't notice anything weird.
But you do go to the section of rooms where the hole was located near.
Taking a chance, you grab a handle.
Opening the door!
There stand the thief, Dagger in hand!
On the bed a young elven woman.
She now just wakes up and screams!
Taking out your sword, you hold it out at the thief, but they throw their dagger at you!
You have to dodge it, but as you do, the thief runs for the hole in the wall behind the bookshelf.
Without haste, you go back down the steps.
Rushing outside to catch the thief!
And just in time to, tackling the hooded figure!
The guards outside see this and quickly rush over!
They separate the two of you.
You explain that he is a thief and how he got into the tavern!
With a quick check, one of the guards can confirm this.
And even the elven woman comes out and checks.
Her word helping too!
So the guards thank you, and take away the thief!
While the elven woman smiles.
"You saved me, please, come back inside, let me pay for a meal or ... a drink even, anything really!"

You can only make out the hand uncovered as woman's, with fair pale skin.

It's golden string sticks out.
"It is infinite, so you can carry as much coin in it.
Of course, it can only carry 1 type of item at a time. "
The knight hands over the pouch.
Grabbing a handful of coin and putting it inside.
The shape and weight of the pouch never changes.
So you thank them!
And, you even ask their name?
"Gale! I am but just a humble wandering knight."
He continues to help get the coin from the chest to the new pouch you've acquired.
"There, all done."
Now that the chest is empty.
Gale sheaths his sword and looks around. "Hmm ... should probably get going. Night will be hear soon.
The village is now far from here."
You agree, and turn to go, but notice that the knight does not follow.

Luckily the village isn't to far.
And once there you get to the first tavern you can find.
Getting a room and some good.
It had been some time since you had a nice bed under you.
Though your mind wanders to the knight.
Would he be okay out there, but that seems like a silly question.
So once you have eaten up and laid down for the night.
Your eyes close.
The night goes by well, though a sound does stir you some.

You struggle as they try to swipe their dagger at you!
So you kick them over your and suddenly they fell to the floor.
Standing, you point the sword at them.
They throw their dagger, which causes you to lean out of the way.
But then they throw something else!
As a large cloud of black smoke takes over the room.
It leaves as quickly as it appears.
Now ... they are gone.
A troubled sigh follows and you sit down.
You notice that the bookshelf seems to have been moved.
And upon closer look, there is a hole in the stone wall just big enough for someone to slip through.
You'll have to inform the tavern owner of this ....

You can't help but enjoy it.

A chance is taken by throwing the rock at the last pillar while just about to strike the second to last one!
And suddenly a bell chimes!
With that the pillars stay lit up!
You did it!
Looking over at the Knight, it seems he is waking up.
"Huh! Oh I dozed off. haha, did you beat the puzzle?!"
The knight stands and grabs their blade.
Suddenly a large chest seems to start materializing in the middle of the puzzle!
You and the knight watch as it forms and glitters in golden dust.
"HO! You did, good work!
Well ... you earned it, since you did it."
The knight tone is friendly and seemingly happy.
Walking over. You open the chest slowly.
Revealing plenty of coin!
Your own pouches have been empty for a while now.
This is perfect, since the village you planned on going to requires coin to afford a tavern room and food.
But this is to much coin for you to carry.

It is quite heavy, but you can just barely move it.
The knight askes if help is needed.
However you shake your head, refusing the offer not wishing to involve or bother the knight with such a task.
"Oh, do not exhaust yourself.
At least let me carry this to your destination. No charge."
The Knight walks over and easily picks up the chest!
Well that settles it you guess.
So you have the knight follow you to the path.
Making the turn to head towards the village.
You are excited to finally afford a room and good food.
Once you get there, and seek a nearby tavern.
You thank the knight for their help!
Then offer a few things of coin just for the aid.
Yet the Knight shakes his head.
He places the Chest down in your room.
You even try and offer the knight some food or drink.
Yet the large man refuses.
"No no, I should head out, but best of luck to you."
The Knight gives a friendly pat on the shoulder before turning to leave.
Now settled in.
You partake in good times with food and drink.
Nothing to crazy though.
You think how you'll spend this coin, wondering if there is a shop here that may carry magical pouches or cases that maybe could help with the chest and all its coin.
Now back in your room, you lay down and rest.
However, woken from your sleep. You see a shadow lurking over your chest!
You waste no time in grabbing your short sword.
Hollering at the shadow figure!
They attempt to run!
However the door to your room opens and there stands the large knight!
"HA! Gotcha!"
The knight grabs the thief and throws them out!
The two of you now chase the thief out, as those in the tavern watch and stare.
The knight even throwing a bear mug at the thief just as they made it out the door.
"Hmm, sorry I could not just leave you with that big ol chest. I knew it bring trouble."
The knight put his hand on his hip.
"Why not go back to sleep, I'll keep watch."
You agree to this, but only if this time you can pay the knight for their deeds.
Which finally the Knight nods in agreement!
So back to bed you head.
With the large armored titan standing outside your door.
What a night!

The knight grabs the thief and throws them out!
The two of you now chase the thief out, as those in the tavern watch and stare.
The knight even throwing a bear mug at the thief just as they made it out the door.
"Hmm, sorry I could not just leave you with that big ol chest. I knew it bring trouble."
The knight put his hand on his hip.
"Why not go back to sleep, I'll keep watch."
You agree to this, but only if this time you can pay the knight for their deeds.
Which finally the Knight nods in agreement!
So back to bed you head.
With the large armored titan standing outside your door.
What a night!

Deciding that it be best to share the fortune. Since it does you little good to carry all that coin.
You tell the Knight to help himself!
However, the Knight shakes their head.
"No no, you earned it, it is yours.
But. Here."
The knight reaches for a pouch on his belt.
It's royal green fabric sticking out, along with its golden rope.
"Take this. It is a bottomless pouch I earned from defeating a Naga long back.
It can help you.
But it can only carry 1 item type at a time."
The knight gives over the royal pouch.
To which now you can fill as much coin in it as you want!
About to turn around and thank the Knight.
He is gone.
There wasn't even a sound of their footsteps.
With that, you slowly go back to filling more of the pouch before it the chest is empty.
Leaving the scene. The path isn't far from the forest line.
So you make it back onto the dirt road.
Keeping an eye out for that knight though.
Yet .... there is no sign of him anywhere.
Before you know it, the village is in site and once entering there is no hesitation is getting a room and a hot meal!
Sitting at the tavern table.
There is a desired need to toast to the large Knight, if only they were here.

0️⃣1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣
With all this coin, you figure why not hire the large Knight to carry the chest!
So you give the offer to them.
They seems to remain silent at first before a "hmm" comes from their helm.
"Alright." The large knight agrees.
And so you pull some coin from the chest and toss it to the knight, who catches it!
He comes over and easily picks up the large wooden chest of gold.
You tell him to follow you now!
And the two of you head back into the forest. Making way for the dirt path that is ahead.
The walk to the village is quite calm.
You ask about the knights name.
"Gale is the name.
Just a humble wandering knight."
He chuckles, with the chest on his one shoulder.
You tell him your name.
Conversations with the big knight seem easy, as he is very friendly and even open to topics like magic, and traveling.
It's clear this knight has been to far places by the various trinkets and items on his armor and belt.
Now reaching the village.
You suggest the knight join you for some food and drink now that they have coin to spend.
"Course! Though, I personally looove a good homemade Spider soup. But a tavern meal works too."
So the two of you enter the tavern and pay for a meal.
Gale keeping the chest close by at the table you both sit at.
You offer a happy little toast in thanks for the knight's company and the good fortune of the day.
"Yes! Let us celebrate" and with that.
Your enjoy each others company and tell tales about each of your own adventures.
And, before you know it night is here and the drinks have really hit your system.
The food heavy in your stomach.
Thankfully though, Gale helps you to the room rented upstairs.
Leaving the chest in the room with you.
The large knight stands outside as a guard.
It's been a long while since you felt a bed under your back and a heavy meal in your stomach.
However, during your slumber a sound startles you! With blurry eyes and a simple candle light.
It seems like the bookshelf against the wall is moving!
However your to heavy and drunk to move!
So when a shadow lurks out from behind it and the glint of a silver curved dagger appears, you can only make muffles slurred noises!
It seems they stare at the chest for a bit before slowly turning your way with dagger in hand!

With everything in your body.
You make an attempt to roll! It is not graceful at all.
In fact your fall flat on your face and stomach. Causing a loud thud though!
This seems to alert someone.
Because in came Gale.
"HEY!"
The large knights footstep sound like thunder.
Still so groggy and weak, you can only watch from the floor as their feet seem to dance around the room.
But it is clear Gale is overpowering the thief!
Books fall off the bookshelf, the desk with the candle is rattled.
Your heart nearly races seeing the candle fall to the wooden floor.
Luckily though Gale stomps it out before grabbing the thief before they could make a run for the open door!
Before you know it your out like a light again.
Waking up back in bed.
With a serious headache.
Gale sits beside you on top of the chest.
"Ah, good you are awake.
I feared you might have been badly hurt.
So I put you back in bed.
Good thing you made that noise.
I would have never known that thief snuck in.
But do not worry now, he is gone.
I made sure of that."
Gale nodded firmly. Arms crossed over his chest.
"Anyways, here, I brought you water.
You drank quite allot, haha, heart for the spirit of a good time."
Gale gives you a cup.
THANKFUL ENDING

Now that the Knight slumbers, you think this is the perfect time to strike.
He seems to have lots of good trinkets on him.
So with a careful step and a simple slip of your hand.
You swipe off one of the knights heavier pouches.
They don't seem to move and inch.
With a successful swipe, you reach for another one.
Able to swipe 2 pouches off the slumbering knight.
Now, you quickly make away with the good.
Finding out you stole some sort of infinite pouch.
And a pouch that contains some sort of yellow stone.
Getting as far as you can from the knight.
You take the path through the forest to the nearest village.
The infinite pouch you stole holds lots of coin, more then you can imagen.

0️⃣1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣🔴
You think that it's probably not a good idea to stick around this village so close to the forest which you stole from that knight.
So, moving on from the village and taking one of the paths out from it.
You watch as the sky turns dark. It really isn't good to be travelling at night.
Many travelers warn of this do to the many creatures.
Plus, your legs are still very very tired.
So every step seems to get slower, and feels so much heavier now.
At one point your eyes start to flutter.
And the cold night air is pretty harsh.
The thought of going back pops up, since the next village over is quite a ways away.
But just as that thought comes across, the sounds of twigs breaking above spook you.
As you look up, suddenly red eyes glow from above.
Startled! You jump back as a large monstruous spider comes down from the trees!
Taking hold of your sword.
You try to swing and fend off the spider.
Grabbing for your torch, you strike it against a tree and light it up.
The spider is spooked by the fire.
But seeing your sluggish nature, it persists!
The large spider turns its abdomen at you.
Suddenly shooting a huge strand of silk witch catches you in a net.
The stuff is so thick your blade cant cut through.
And so weak from the walk, you struggle to even fight or squirm.
The spider makes haste as it drags you into the depths of the forest!
A DAY LATER
The large knight appears at the mouth of a cave.
Entering it, he looks around.
Slow and steady steps as he holds up his own torch.
Smaller spiders skittering away.
He makes the long journey deep in the curving and twisted webbed up tunnels.
Eventually stumbling upon an opening where many cocoons were stuck to the walls.
The knight sees a bright yellow glow coming from one of the cocoons.
He sighs.

Decided to get a room.
The clouds above are already pretty dark.
So night will be here soon.
You could use a good bed, you haven't had one in so long.
So entering the nearest tavern. You ask for a room, and a nice meal and drink.
All is going well, you hunker down inside your room to relax.
Gently feeling the bed.
A sigh escapes with a small smile.
It had been rice sacks, straw bails and, boxes for the past few trips.
Coin had been so low, so this, this was a nice change!
After scarfing down the meal and a solid drink.
You lay on the bed and close your eyes.
The candle light the only thing now illuminating the room.
Though, something seems to wake you mid way.
Suddenly sitting up, rubbing your eyes.
You catch what looks like a dark figure in the corner!
Before you can make a move, the glint of cold steel makes way for you!
Thinking it is the knight! You attempt to say your sorry, until you realize that the shadow figure is not the knight!
But a thief!
Their dagger swings violently!
You reach for your own short swords, but so clumsy, you fall off the other side of the bed!
Just as the thief comes around to finish the job.
The sounds of the door to the room open!
Heavy steps follow and the light pours in from the main hallway.
The thief that was about to attack now focused on the new presence is suddenly grabbed and thrown!
You peak over the bed, seeing now the knight you stole from and the thief fighting.
But it is clear the thief is no match and thrown easily to the floor. They scramble away, leaving now the large Knight to look at you!

Quickly you stand, hands up and confessing what you did was wrong!
You even grab the pouches you stole and hold them out!
However the Knight stands there for a moment.
Then reaching out, swipes the two pouches.
He slowly holsters his sword before shaking his head.
The Knight turned and left, his footsteps becoming distant now.
You can only sigh and sit on the bed.
Thinking how close that was.

Hopping to your feet, you thank them for saving you from that thief!
The large knight stares a moment before slowly putting away their sword.
"Well, you are welcome.
I overheard him muttering something on my way in.
Figured I'd check it out, only to see him sneak in through a hole in the wall outside the tavern behind some barrels.
Just glad you are alive."
The knight stands in the doorway still.
"I'm sorry I had dozed off earlier, have you seen my pouches by the way?"
This question stoned you in place.
You had set them just under the bed.

Going under the bed, you grab the pouches and hold them out to the knight.
They stay still for a moment.
Then, they take the pouches.
"I thank you for coming clean."
The knight holsters the pouches once more.
"To be fair, I knew it was you.
If you had lied, I would have had to turn you into the guards the moment you left this tavern.
But I am glad I don't have to do that."
The large knight turns to leave.
But before they can go, you ask them how they knew?!
The Knight pauses before crossing their arms over their chest.
"That one pouch you stole is a waypoint stone.
So I can always find that spot.
You just happened to be steal it, which would make you the culprit."
You suddenly feel glad you didn't lie.

Your smile wavers as you sigh, sitting down on the bed.
Thinking how close to being caught you were.

They did save you ....
Going back to bed, you rest till morning.
However, as soon as you wake and get ready to leave, there is a knock at your room door.
About to answer it, suddenly armored guards rush in!
You have no idea what's going on.
At least until you see the large knight who enters the room.
"Yes, that is the thief", he says heavily.
The large knight goes to the bed and grabs the two pouches under it.
Your confused how he knew, but before you can even ask, your harshly dragged away by the guards!
