At Marina's suggestion I sat down at started taking out some of the food to eat. Half an hour later I had satisfied my hunger, Marina on the other had was still nibbling on some dried beans.
I turned looking out into the forest, we would have to make our way through in a little while. The forest it's self was dark and eerie; the trees dried and twisted into unsettling ways.
"That's a death trap if I ever saw one." Marina said to me.
"Here we go again. Marina we're not going to die. Since when were you so pessimistic."
"Not that."
I turned to Marina who had stood to her feet, as she drew her sword from its sheath.
"We're surrounded."
"What!?"
To my surprise I heard the sounds of foot steps approaching, the sounds of leaves and branches breaking under foot. Moments later they came into view.
Bandits and quite a few of them. If I had to guess there was about twenty in all.
"Lookie what we got boys a couple of misplaced souls." One of the bandits said tapping his sword on his shoulder.
The bandits all chuckled. Indeed it seems we are surrounded.
