A Forest Maze in Tethyr
 |
Your party plunges into the gloomy depths of this forest near the eastern border of Tethyr. A mother's tears drive you on - you agreed to look for her son who went poaching in a preserve that belongs to the local noble family and he hasn't returned. You noticed a pair of odd wooden totems among the trees¸ but that's in the back of your mind now. The lad might be dead¸ but he might also be alive and in any of a number of different kinds of trouble.
Then it hits you - you've completely lost your bearings. The forest blots out the sun and there are no landmarks¸ just trees and more trees. Are you facing north¸ south¸ east¸ west? You don't know. Forget the boy; at this point could you even save yourself by leaving the forest the way you came? And is that a bear you hear? According to the random encounters table¸ that's possible....
