You are trudging your way through Limgrave, your grieves clacking softly with every step as you make your way through the rolling hills on your way to Stormhill to continue your journey. The sun peeks out through the smothering clouds overhead, the air there thick with the scent of oncoming rain, and something rotting off in the distance. You don't make it four more steps before your heart suddenly begins pumping, Blaidd, your companion leaping forward out of your body. She hunches on all fours before letting out a spectral howl that splits your ears and shakes you to your very soul.

"Get down, young master. There is a Runebear approaching."

She says firmly, her piercing blue eyes focusing on you from over her shoulder.

"Find cover. I will dispose of it shortly."
