Nichoda presses his hand upon the forest floor and sings softly to himself. Slowly, a rowan sapling pushes upwards out of the soil and sways gently towards him.

A small, dark glade.
The shadowy outline of a twisted forest casts a dark gloom here. Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil. A bowl of chicken alfredo rests here on the ground. There are 2 fruit kabobs here. A crumbly tart filled with chunks of apple is here, emitting a strong aroma. Someone has left a bowl of deep-fried ice cream here. A heart-shaped cookie with pink icing sits temptingly on the ground. A rowan sapling clings tenaciously to the ground here. Priestess Nori Nimaet, Initiate of Night's Secrets is here, sprawled on the floor. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand. The Fierce Druid, Nichoda Kor'Lathh is here. He wields a golden sickle in his left hand and a glittering black scroll in his right.
You see a single exit leading north (closed door).

You tilt your head curiously.

Nori's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

You exclaim, "He is going to eat us!"

You stand up and stretch your arms out wide.

Dipping your hand into a shadow cauldron, you pull out a long shadow and release it into the air. The room darkens with the churning darkness.

Nori squeaks in fright.

Nori opens the oak door to the north.

Nori stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

Nori leaves to the north.
The door to the north slams shut.

You dance in a circle, raising your arms to the heavens. Darkness whirls up around you and forms a solid black tower that arches overhead.

Nichoda looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

You run around madly, flapping your arms in a blind panic.

Nichoda sits down.

You tell Priestess Nori Nimaet, Initiate of Night's Secrets, "You left me!"

The oak door to the north is opened from the other side.

This room has not been mapped.
Inside a Great Ravenwood.
A plain wooden chest sits here, closed. Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil. Priestess Nori Nimaet, Initiate of Night's Secrets is here. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand.
You see a single exit leading south (closed door).

You say, "I put up a brumetower.

You see Priestess Nori Nimaet, Initiate of Night's Secrets yell, "Don't eat us!"

Nori's eyes sparkle with amusement at you.

You snigger evilly.

Nori meows endearingly at you.

The Fierce Druid, Nichoda Kor'Lathh yells, "Let me come in?"

You yell, "Not by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin?"

You see Priestess Nori Nimaet, Initiate of Night's Secrets yell, "Not by the hairs on my.. fuzzy ears!"

Nori's eyes sparkle with amusement at you.

The Fierce Druid, Nichoda Kor'Lathh yells, "I'll huff.. And I'll puff.. And I'll set the door on fire."
