Forest of Sorrow

About the Location: The Forest of Sorrow sprawls across the heart of Gooley Island, a vast expanse of towering trees, tangled undergrowth, and perpetual shadow. Though breathtaking in its natural beauty, the forest is steeped in danger. Whispers speak of ancient, malevolent spirits that dwell among the roots and branches—twisted fey, vengeful specters, and creatures born of sorrow and spite. Many travelers who wander too deep are never seen again. For this reason, a network of old, enchanted paths winds through the forest, kept safe by protective warding magic. These trails are regularly maintained by local druids and rangers, and travelers are strongly advised never to stray from them. The further one drifts from the path, the thinner the veil between the living and the cursed becomes.

Terrain Outline: This battle map uses a single levels. The light-orange teleportation circle is the player entry point and the blue teleportation circle leads to the arena. The trees are obstacle tiles. The pathway tiles are special terrain tiles: any creature on a path tile is untouchable by spirits and all spirits are hidden from them.

Quest Briefing: Evil spirits have begun drifting dangerously close to the warded paths of the Forest of Sorrow. The druids seek help thinning their numbers. Step off the path and scream to draw one out—then slay it before it can call for more. Leave the forest a little safer than you found it and the druids will reward you.
