An area in the cursed forest the contains spirits of both malicious and benevolent nature. It is a test of luck to end up in this area but whether that luck was good or bad is dependent completely on what creatures are met there.
The ground in the area contains increasingly acidic water which all drains into the nearby bogs. The grass is green but the lands itself reeks of decay. In the center of the nearby bog is a deep pool of water. It contains the only clear water in the area but is without a doubt no safer then the land itself as the water is poison to everything that has ties to the coil of mortal existence.
Tread lightly, for the wraiths of long dead warriors patrol the area and even if one chances upon the shade of helpful persuasion know that the knowledge they pass on may well be riddles that could lead a person to their demise.

Adrian having wandered for several hours through the cursed forest aimlessly finds himself in a clearing that much to his surprise appears to be healthy. Of course, that's merely a play on his eyes as he can smell and sense the truth of the area without much effort.
"Well this place seems familiar for some reason." he states as he reaches in to bring out the journal he carries with him everywhere.
"Let's see if you've been here as well Emilio." opening the book he starts to flip through the pages until he finds a blank one that has a faint glow to it. The page quickly starts to fill with words and sketches.
"The bog of shades? Interesting." After walking a little further he decides to sit down on a rock and wait to see if anything happens.
"So either deal with the wraiths of this area or talk to a shade in that area over there. Either way I'll get to have some fun."

" Well... this is just lovely... " :: A young woman mumbled as she looked around at the dark forest that was surrounding her... ::
"Way to go Mirra..." :: She said to herself as she walked :: "Knew i should of taken the left turn... Damn it Adrian... you wait till i find you...." :: She sighed and continued to walk, only to find herself getting more and more lost with each twist and turn she took ::

:: Mirra walked on for what seemed like an eternity... She was lost in her own thoughts about how to navigate out of this place when she became aware of a scuttling sound behind her... ::
"Hmm...?" :: Her hand shifted to grip the hilt of her sword as she looked around her.... :: "This day keeps getting better and better..." :: She said quietly as she slowly begain to press onward again ::

Adrian slowly stands up and takes a look around. "Somethings on the move."
With this he starts to move off in the direction of the tree line. He'd been waiting for quite some time. It's about time something fun happened.
"Let's see what this cursed land can throw at me." he holds his hand out as his sword sparks into existence in a black flame.

:: Mirra glanced behind her from time to time... She couldn't see anything in the darkness and shadows around her, but she was certain that something was following her.... Fed up she kept walking, uttering a slew of colorful curses to herself in referance to her current situation...::
:: The scuttling behind her continued... stopping when she stopped... and picking up again when she started to move again.... She'd had enough now...:: "ALRIGHT!" :: She whizzed around suddenly, with a flash of steel as her sword was unsheathed and moved to a defensive posistion:: "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU FOLLO----"
:: Her voice trailed off and her eyes widened a little as she stared at a set of six faintly glowing red eyes, that were attached to huge black body, eight large legs, and a formidable pair of fangs: together creating the largest spider she'd ever seen in her life... ::
" Holy sh-- ......" :: She uttered and acually took a few steps back... Out of all the things in this world... the one thing Mirra couldn't stand more then anything... was spiders. ::

Adrian takes to the tree's upper branches to travel as the land under them can sometimes be treacherous. The branches barely bend under his light footed steps.
"Where is this thing? It must be somewhere close."
He decides the better course of action would to get above the tree's and check the surrounding area from a better perspective.
"Here we go." he says shortly before launching himself of the next branch to find himself in the air about twenty feet above the treetops. He starts to search the area for any sign of movement.

:: Mirra backed up another few steps... She had a white knuckle grip on her sword and even then, she almost dropped it when the beast begain to advance.... ::
" Its HAD to be a spider....!? IT JUST HAD TO BE A SPIDER DIDN'T IT!? " :: She said as she backed up more, looking around for any quick path of escape.... In her mild panic and need to get out of there as quickly as possible, Mirra failed to notice the large sticky web that was stretched across the trees behind her.... and as she tried to keep her focus on the spider, she ended up backing straight into it...::
"W-what the...!? No... No! No no NO!! AGAH!! " :: At this point she flat out started to freak... She held onto her sword like it was super glued to her hand. Not that it did her much good, considering her hand had become stuck down at her side... You could literally see the sweat rolling off her brow as the spider now started to coil her in its sticky web, trying to encase her into a cacoon... ::

:: She struggled and finally the arm that she was holding her sword in, came ripping free :: "BACK IT UP!! " :: She snarled and slashed at the spider with a strong swing (strong considering how stuck she was ), managing to gash it across the face... ::
:: The spider shreiked and shrunk back a foot or two... Mirra wasn't sure is she'd managed to let it know she wasn't going to go down easy or just make it angery ::

A large rustling of branches catches Adrian's eye and he decides that is certainly where the disturbance is at.
"Alright, about time you showed up. Whatever the hell you are." a moment later he lets himself drop straight through the trees.
" 3.... 2..... 1" a moment later chains burst from his gauntlet hooking onto several branches as he falls through them.
"and, NOW!" He yanks the chains sending him flying through the trees in the direction of whatever it is he's tracking.
"What the bloody?" he hears something that sounds like an angry roar.
He swings into the area the chains fading directly into his gauntlet.
"Was I late to the party?"

"DIDN'T LIKE THAT!? YEA!? WELL I'VE GOT A LOT MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM YOU HAIRY S.O.B! SO STAY BACK!! " :: Mirra snarled and slashed at the spider again as it lashed out at her, managing to knick her with its fang... She heard the sounds of something coming through the trees... and fast.... :: " Oh great... you brought friends...! "

Maneuvering through the last few trees Adrian reaches into one of the many out of side pockets in his coat. He brings his hand back out clutching three daggers. Prior to breaking through the last bit of shrubbery into the plain site of the world he launches the daggers out into the darkness ahead of him. Hoping to distract whatever it was. He had already detected the voice of someone else in the area.
"Some times things just turn out to me a pain." he skids through the brush and stops. He pulls his firearm from it's leg holster and places the blade of his sword horizontal on the wrist of the arm he is now aiming at the creature with.

:: The spider turned quickly at the sound of the daggers hitting the earth... It was starting to become out numbered, and that was making it very angery.... It let out a shriek and started to scuttle towards Adrian, seeing as he was the bigger threat at the moment... ::

"A giant spider. The wraiths in this area are very interesting. I like that." he quickly throws his sword straight into the air seemingly without care on if or where it would come down.
"Beast..." He launches himself into the air in rotating slightly before opening fire on the creature with a triple shot of his custom firearms explosive tipped rounds.

:: The spider shrieked yet again and this time decided that perhaps it would be best to flee rather then fight. It gave a spiteful roar and quickly turned around, making for the darkness of the forest in hopes to live long enough to see another meal... ::
