Eerily Quiet

As you settle in to a pleasant malaise beside the fire, you sit content, listening to the various sounds that come from the forest around you. Animals of every size carrying out their nightly routine. Only, as you sit for a moment or two, you hear nothing. The crackle of the campfire is the only accompaniment to your awaiting ears, the popping of the burning wood glaringly loud in the total silence that surrounds you. Thinking back on the day's trek, you realize with a teasing sense of dread that you can't recall having seen a single stray rodent nor bird nor even the odd bug.

As you ponder the strange silence, the moss continues ever so subtly to creep across your robes, beginning to adapt using the magic of the robes' enchantments, mimicking the texture and color of the cloth it covers. All the while remaining undetected.

You begin to grow more and more apprehensive of the unusual silence permeating throughout the woods around you. However, you remind yourself that this area is largely unexplored, and no one knows for sure if it functions in the same way as other, similar regions.

Regardless, you'll have to rely on your instincts and knowledge to decide on a course of action.
