After traveling for some time on the confusing paths, the group suddenly find themselves "stranded" on a patch of land, with no more signs or other paths to follow.

Meri: "Haww, we're lost again ! There's nothing here !"

Lance: "...How the heck did we ended up here ? We followed the trail by the book, didn't we ? Did we mess up a turn or something ? I can't see a thing, again !"

Lina: "I doubt it. As you said, we have not made a single mistake. Perhaps this is also as 'intended' ?"

Lance: "Yeah, likely intended to mess with us. I knew she was 'testing' us ! She just likes to screw with people like that."

Lina: "Now, now. Do not be hasty in judging others; you only have met Lord Jaghund and Lady Cyndwella for, at most, a day. Certainly this customary to new arrivals and thus she holds no bias against you."

Meri: "Yes, Miss Cyndwella wouldn't be mean for no reason, I told you."

Lance: "Ugh, fine. I take that back. Maybe it's... just this atmosfere that's getting to me. I've been in a creepy forest before... It wasn't nice."

Lina: "I understand you must be wary of such things. Think about it this way: as much as the road was, well unsettling, I'm certain their welcome will be equaly as warm."

Meri: "Uh-huh, they are n-nice so everything w-will be alright. I'm sure."

Lance: "Yeah, guess so...". Suddenly, he begins to hear a very distant sound. A ritmic one at that. "Huh ? I'm... hearing something."

Meri: "Hmm ? Really ? I don't hear anything."

Lance: "I hear splashes. And they're getting closer."

Lina: "Yes... I hear them as well. Must be coming this way..."

Lance: "They kinda are, yeah. Something or someone's coming to us. Getting louder now..."

Meri: "Ah ! I can hear them too ! Maybe it's them ! They're coming to greet us !"

Lance: "Yeah. Just in case, though... I need you two to stay behind me."

Meri: "Uhm, okay ?"

Lina: "I doubt there is trouble afoot, but I understand."

Lance steps forward in the direction of the sound, appearing to stand guard for the two women standing behind him, ready to 'greet' whoever was approaching them...
