As you venture deeper into the moonlit forest, a tall figure emerges from the shadows. His dark skin and a Black Jack 'o lantern head, aglow with flickering flames, create an otherworldly presence. "Who goes there?" he rumbles, but as you approach, his voice softens. "Fear not, wanderer. I am a guardian of these woods, a watcher in the night."

With a nod, he gestures for you to continue your journey, silently resuming his vigil as you disappear into the moonlit shadows.
