Day 1. Camp fire, Royal Castle forest clearing
While four haplessly thrown together adventurers gather round the fire, another joins them in silence. It is Harpic, a man made completely out of stone! He doesn't look to be equipped with anything.

In fact, neither of you look that well prepared for adventure.

Perhaps it would be best to search for a place where you could buy some gear? You never know when the time calls for action...

Oops. Looking down at my tool belt, I see my lack of gear doth betray my lofty goal.

Come, my friends, let's away to the nearest General Store of items and weaponry. And armour. And potions. And...stuff...

And so, with my travelling stick, that I totally don't keep just so I look more Wizardy, I get up and implore my companions to join me. Though I don't normally enjoy a shopping trip, this looks like it'd be fun!

Day 1. Camp fire, Royal Castle forest clearing
And with that, the group is already completely divided. Master got up and urged people to come along with him, and seemed to have somewhat of an indication where the nearest shop would be. Dog Food, meanwhile, together with Harpic, agreed that getting themselves equipped would be a wise move, but then continued to stay by the fire and look on. At the same time, Udongo Mtu promptly began to wander off straight into the black void that looms under the trees of the Dark Forest, with nobody following him, yet Shrooblord stood in awe, gazing at his most shapely of butts.

And so the party was left with a choice. Follow Udongo Mtu, who already seemed out of reach for proposing a new plan, marching off gloriously into darkness, or Master, who looked to be quite confident in his knowledge of the whereabouts of a General Store, back towards the Royal Castle?

Or maybe someone else had another plan...?

Being from out of town, I appreciate my inexperience with local utilities and the like is lacking. To that end, I decide to follow the advice of Shrooblord, and pray that my lack of a map and local know-how does not come back to bite me.

Come, my friends, I trust in Shrooblord's wisdom, lead the way, good chap.

Day 1. Mouth of the Dark Forest, entrance
You walk towards the Dark Forest, and night black envelops you all as you walk under the green awnings of vast and ancient trees.

What surprises you is that you don't see Udongo Mtu anywhere, though you're sure he only walked ahead a short thirty seconds earlier. Before you gapes the black hole of the path under trees below the shadow of the tallest giants. Already, the air around you feels stifling. What is this place?

The path goes straight on through the darkness. Off beyond the path, you see a light from above. It seems to be a light between the leaves, letting in a shaft of sunlight in the gloomy forest. But it's through a murky blackness, darker even than than the gloominess that surrounds the path.

A makeshift signpost at the entrance shows an arrow pointing straight on, along the path. In subscript is scribbled, quite clumsily though legible:
Merchant
>>Buy ur Warez here<<
Plant scum not welkum
