Silk Forest
Who wouldn't you meet in this tangle of needles, moss, and webs, wrapped in a cocoon? Is it a human, a bird, a fairy, Matthew freaking Mercer? Or is it just because you've inhaled some swamp gas? Either way, you need to cross the Silk Forest to deliver a magical sealed box to the wizard living on the other side. DO NOT OPEN UNTIL REQUESTED!
On the way, you might encounter: 1) forest monsters, especially those with eight legs 2) strange NPCs with no purpose in life 3) a couple or trio with a clear life stance.
To take with you: 1) magic in the form of cards 2) supreme hope 3) a 50 ft. rope and 10 rations 4) a sense of humor and good mood.
