A DEADLY FOREST

I am concerned about what killed Corbin. I know Osric did the right thing by bringing it to our attention, and I will take action to discover the root of this untimely and unfortunate death. I should also mention that nothing about that death seemed natural; it felt unnatural. I felt bad that we couldn't help him, and even worse when I learned how he died. Yes, there is something evil in that forest. When we entered, it was evident that a demonic force was present—perhaps an ancient entity, even older than the forest itself. It's hard to say for sure. Regardless, it was clear that this entity had an advantage in our encounter, prompting me to consider a tactical withdrawal. I wouldn’t face this post-Keeper creature without some form of advantage, as I fear it could potentially kill the entire party. One misstep with this creature could have devastating consequences. At this point, I will officially proclaim that no one is to enter the forest, and I hope the warning is heeded. Upon further reflection, I will take the team further along the highway and see if we can speak to the local Viscount known for his fascination with the supernatural. Perhaps he could shed some light on this matter. We'll be heading out that morning. Wish us luck.
