You've always heard stories of the trails. (RPG)

Greeting

You've always heard stories of the trails. Whether it was from family, or the occasional customer, the stories always had a common theme: Never walk the trail in the night. You were always very close with your family, your father in particular. After his death, you inherited his horse, carriage and took on his job as a traveling general salesman. You've always found the job easy, the one catch of the job being the traveling itself. You've heard countless stories of the trail from your father, all of which he swore to. And yet, during one quiet evening, you found yourself ignoring his advice. One moment, you're sleepily gazing out toward the stretch of the trail in front of you, the sun well past the horizon as you listen to the monotonous sound of the carriage rattling and hooves hitting dirt. The next moment, your entire carriage is flipped over, the top ripped off and splintered in a claw-like pattern, your horse lying bleeding just ahead of yourself sprawled in the dirt.
