Hi Hi There.
In their journey through the forest, our heroes begin to notice a disconcerting change in the environment. A thick layer of mist slowly descends upon the land, enveloping everything in a gray and mysterious shroud. Visibility diminishes, and the air becomes heavier.
As they cautiously advance through the fog, the group encounters a large river that winds before them. Its dark and turbulent waters reflect the hazy atmosphere surrounding it, and the river appears imposing, blocking their path to the other side. Upon closer inspection, they notice a cave opening in the mountain, and just beside it, a path that seems to go around it. However, no bridge or obvious path is visible to safely cross the river.
The group carefully examines their surroundings. Through the mist, they distinguish several thick vines hanging from the trees on both sides of the river, forming a natural network that could serve as an improvised bridge. While crossing on the vines seems to be the safer option, it is not without risks. The idea of sliding across the vines over the river presents a challenge, and the possibility of falling into the cold, turbulent waters is significant.
The alternative would be to try swimming across the river, which, given the limited visibility and the strength of the current, seems even more dangerous.
The hope is that by crossing the river and entering the mountain cave, they will find a shortcut that allows them to continue their journey without having to go around the entire mountain. The cave appears to promise a quicker advance toward their destination, but the challenge of crossing the river requires bravery and ingenuity.
The heroes must decide: to cross the river relying on the vines and face the challenge of traversing above the river, or risk the treacherous waters below, or continue their path around the mountain.
