Whispers of the Whispering Woods

Deep within the whispering woods, four unlikely heroes trudged along a mossy trail—Bradwürst

the goblin sausage-slinger, Nyx the gnome druid, Muskaat the stoic dragonborn, and Tilly,

the halfling bard whose songs could charm thunder itself. Shackled behind them,

a necromancer hissed curses under his breath. Suddenly, Bradwürst,

with a gleam in his eye and mischief in his voice, challenged Nyx to a pony race,

kicking up leaves and laughter as they galloped ahead. Their joy turned to dread as they

skidded to a halt before a shattered carriage, where an enormous beast—half owl,

half bear—raged against a troupe of terrified circus folk.
