From a post on
www.elven-board.com and from Tom's blog!
1)You are on the edge of a forest. What is the day like?
The sun is setting for the day with many shades of colors of orange and pink. I feel at peace with myself.
2)What does the forest look like?
It is during the middle of fall with many trees and all of their leaves are changing colors and falling off.
3)You can see a path. What does it look like?
It is a plain dirt path. It seems like the road less traveled by since nobody ever goes in the middle of the forest.
4)You come across a drinking vessel of some form. Describe.
There is a old stone well with clear clean water in it. It is in an opening with many trees around it. The path go by it.
5)There is a tree blocking your path. Describe. How do you get past it?
I walk around the tree. It is a very big tree and looks like a different type from the rest. All of its leaves have already fallen off. The roots come out of the ground slightly and I have to watch my steps carefully.
6)You find a key. Describe it. What do you do to it?
I see a shiny small silver key at the edge of one of the tree roots. I take it along in case somebody is looking for it up ahead. It looks like a foreign type of key.
7)You come across a snake, lying in the path. What do you do to get past it?
I start to walk slower since it is sleeping right in the middle of the path hidden by a few leaves. It isnt a large snake, but it might be poisonous so I am careful.
8)You come across some sort of house, surrounded by a fence. Describe the fence.
The fence is a made out of a short, brick wall. It has a gate that is a tad smaller than the rest of the fence.
9)You manage to get past the fence. Describe the building. Does anyone live there? Who are the inhabitants?
It doesnt look like anybody is home, but it looks like a cozy little cottage made mostly out of brick from Europe. In the front windows, there are a couple small pots of flowers that are still alive during colder weather.
10) You go inside. What is there? Who is there?
It isnt a modern looking house, but it is nice and has many old-fashioned appliances. Nobody is home like I thought, but there is a small lamp on in the kitchen.
11) You leave the building and come across an animal. Describe.
It is a white-tailed deer. I am surprised that is isnt really afraid of me. It seems like it is looking for food and is very skinny. I feel bad that I dont have anything for it, but I have to move on.
12) You find water. What is the water like? How is it set in the land?
It is the same type of clear water that was in the well. It is a skinny little creek with just enough water not to overflow. Its base is made out of stone and it is set over a hill. It seems to continue for a while, but I dont have enough time to trace how far back it goes.
13)Finally you come to a cliff. What do you see? What do you do?
It is really getting dark out with barely enough light to get home. I sit down and rest for about 15 minutes before I continue on. This place intrested me, but I still cannot put all the pieces of the puzzle together. How come I never knew this forest was here before and it is only 10 minutes away from my house? I can hear the trickle of the stream behind me and some small creatures scurrying to find shelter before there is no more light. I quietly stand up and make my way down the hill and towards the direction of my house.
