Holari was running out of things to do on their forest at the time, everything was set up, and whenever they left it became a mess again, so the young troll just walked away out of boredom, when they come back i will be funner. They went deeper into another forest, and other, and yet another, and walked for two or three days before stopping to rest. They weren’t really counting the days, anyway, so it could even have been longer, just humming random musics they liked as they went even further and deeper.
This one seems to have even less stuff to do, no fun dungeons, no kind of identifiable harms, until they find a hive, and since it was unlocked, they thought it would be inhabited. Yay. Stuff to do.
The dark hive was surprisingly tidy, at least compared to theirs, and it was kind of strange.
They heard something coming on their direction, and hissed at it blindly, putting on a fight pose, and waiting for the thing to come, poofed up and trying to look dangerous, with a skull for a mask.
