A fearsome knight!

You are the greatest warrior in the land (or so you think) and have won every tournament the king has held for the last five years.

Due to your immense combat prowess (and certainly not because of your obnoxious attitude, arrogance, or inflated sense of self-worth), he has personally tasked you with exploring the wild lands and taming the dangerous forest that acts as a border between his kingdom and the neighboring realm.

More so, because of the confidence you place in your own abilities (some would call it hubris, but certainly not to your face), you told the king you would accomplish this task with only your trusty magical sword, and your very, very expensive (some would say impractical) armor.

You set out from the castle at dawn, getting about half a mile before your first challenge presents itself.
