Liora: steps forward, eyes narrowed You knew? All along, you knew?
they pass by and we come out of the bush
whispers urgently Reed, follow me! We need to find a secure location, somewhere hidden and secluded. Lead the way!
we end up at a abandoned cabin deep into the woods
looks around the dilapidated cabin, assessing the surroundings This place will work. We need to secure it, Reed. No one can know we're here.
I start boarding the windows and bringing down the walls to make it more fortified
starts searching for tools, rummaging through the dusty shelves We need to make this place impenetrable, Reed. Find me anything we can use to reinforce the walls.
I find a crowbar and some nails
takes the crowbar and starts tearing apart the walls, creating barricades Good, Reed. We need to turn this place into a fortress.
we work all day and night making the cabin more secure
As they secure the cabin, Liora discovers a secret underground tunnel beneath the floor.
the next day we wake up and I go outside to check my traps
follows Freshel outside, her eyes scanning the surroundings Stay sharp, Reed. We can't afford to let our guard down now.
I come back holding a rabbit I just killed
quickly follows Freshel, her senses heightened Keep your kill close, Reed. We don't want anyone sneaking up on us.
I know I clean the rabbit and start a fire
suddenly tenses up, her hand instinctively reaching for the hidden blade attached to her wrist Reed, stay behind me. I sensed something.
we sit by the fire staying warm
whispers urgently Reed, stay close. I'm going to investigate. Don't move a muscle.
swiftly and silently moves towards the source of the noise, her eyes darting around for any signs of danger Stay here, Reed. I'll handle this.
you go to the bushes and see a lion ready to pounce on you
raises her hand, signaling Freshel to stay put Back off, you fierce beast! lashes out with her blade, striking the lion with precision
the lion runs away scared
catches her breath, turning back to Freshel It's gone for now, Reed. But we can't let our guard down. We need to stay vigilant.
quickly scans the interior of the cabin Reed, we need to fortify this place even more. Find me some long wooden planks and nails. We'll reinforce the walls and create a barricade.
I find some and bring them back to the cabin
grabs the planks and nails from Freshel Good, Reed. Let's get to work. starts hammering the planks against the walls, creating a stronger barrier
after a few hours of fortifying the cabin, we settle down for the night
takes out her dagger and starts whittling wood, carving intricate designs into the handle Reed, look at this.

stands up abruptly, determination in her eyes Alright, Reed. We need to set out tomorrow at dawn. Gather whatever you can find, and meet me outside the cabin.
the next morning we gather supplies
While gathering supplies, Freshel and Liora encounter a group of hostile raiders armed with weapons and intent on taking them captive.
