Back to the village

Deciding your best cause of action is returning to the village, you begin walking through the forest, illuminated by the setting sun. The ground is a bit rough on your bare feet, but your calloused skin from long hikes and the numerous hunts, makes it tolerable. As you keep trotting along, the forest keeps getting darker and darker as the sun starts to dissapear. You keep trying to pull off the ring, but no matter hard you try, it just won't move.

Standing at the forest edge, you scour the sorroundings trying to spot if anyone is nearby. The darkness makes it tough to fully catch your sorroundings, but the dim lights from the village does make you a bit comfortable as you decide to go on, haven't spotted anyone. As you enter the village, two men looks to be going directly towards you. Instantaneously you run to hide behind a wall that is close by. You can hear the two men slowly aproaching you. They are singing a chant and laughing at eachother. Luckily they turn, now walking away from you, semmingly heading towards the tavern. On their shoulders, a wooden barrel. You remember now, the tavern is having a shindig. You curse under your own breath as you stand naked in the street of the small village.
