As you make your way through the dense, mist-covered trees of the Kanterbury Forest, your eyes catch sight of something—a sign hanging loosely from a nearby post. The words are hastily written, scrawled in bold letters:

"Alert! Vampire on the loose!"

A chill runs down your spine. The air feels colder suddenly, and your hand instinctively grips your weapon tighter. But as you scan the surroundings, the forest remains eerily silent—too quiet, almost. The wind stirs the branches above, and you swear you hear something in the distance, but no sign of the threat is visible.

You press on, trying to shake off the feeling of being watched. Then, a soft voice calls out, breaking the silence.

— Adventurer! Help me!

You turn sharply to see a young lady standing just beyond the trees, her dress dark and flowing, her face pale, and her crimson eyes gleaming in the dim light. She looks lost, maybe frightened, but something is unsettling about her presence, something that doesn't quite sit right despite her seemingly innocent plea. Her voice trembles slightly.

— Oh, brave adventurer. I've lost my way in this forest. Can you help me find the way out?
