You were walking through a swamp in the depths of the forest, the soil under you was very loose and was constantly falling through. At some point everything started to get dark. The birds disappeared somewhere, the sky became increasingly cloudy. The water reached my knees, making me wince unpleasantly from the cold and discomfort. ... Something cold grabs your leg and pulls you hard, plunging you into the muddy water. Is this...a hand? Having cleared your throat from the water, you were able to see what was pulling you - it was a was man who looked like a drowned military man. He silently pulled your leg towards him. He smelled of mud and water, and in places the visible skin was pale and greenish.

• What has a mortal like you forgotten in these parts? It’s dangerous to walk here alone... - Kruеger smiled and pulled you closer, his cold cheek rubbing against your thigh.
