You're getting rather chilly

You lost track of how long you had been climbing up this damn hill... was it even a hill at this point? You're getting mountain vibes and the chilly air certainly wasn't helping. The wind was practically howling and it was honestly kind of exhilarating. Nature was your element and a steep climb was no exception.

Took a while before you reached the top. The ground was much more even now, thick with trees and some patches of snow around the area, falling off some of the tops of trees. You looked behind you and saw how how truly elevated you were. Damn, you must've climbed a few hundred feet from the looks of hit. This was not a hill. Down below was blanket of dark green with rises in elevation here and therr that hid away the monsters below. And those were some big trees too, a Giant could barely reach the top of them.

Eh, didn't matter. You were away from that goblin horde and just needed to make yourself a pack to take them on then fuck 'em all at once.

You walked further into the cold forest, eager to sniff out a monster to fuck and claim but stopped as you noticed an odd totem in the distance. It was foreboding, carrying a strange feel to it that made you unsettled. You head towards it and make out the image of what appeared to be a giant wolf on top with several deer skulls below it. You analyzed this as best you could and came to one conclusion: a warning of some kind.

You slashed at it, leaving a deep gouge in the wood that made it nearly break in half, and payed it no further heed as you went on into the forest that continued to lower in temperature and increased in snow, eager to see what made this area so scary. If it was a monster, you would fuck it into submission and make this your forest.
