Tailkicker: "Hey, let's go practise in the forest before we deal with that lake monster!"

Opaline: "I agree. We should learn to fight as a team first, then we'll take on more challenging foes."

Blood Edge: "Fine, then."

Whirlpool: "To the forest!"

You leave the small village, and follow the road east. The trip across the barren field is uneventful.

Tailkicker: "We're totally gonna kick butts!"

Opaline: "We'll do our best, but remain vigilant. All minions of the Titans are a force to be reckoned with."

As you reach the forest, you notice that the leaves in the still branches are dried brown and shriveled...

Moonflower: "Am I carryin' all this stuff I got in some sorta bag?"

Sea Swirl: "It's in your inventory. Think of it as an invisible bag that can hold up to ten different items."

Moonflower: "Oh, got'cha. Can I pull out my sword an' shield before we enter the forest?"

Dawn Break: "Certainly. Your shortsword increases your attack by one, and your small shield increases your defence against weak hits by one."

Moonflower: "Yay!"
