The Last Stand

The smoke was visible from three leagues out — a black column rising against a sky that had no business being this clear. Ashenveil is a borderlands village. Nothing remarkable about it: a dozen farms, a mill, an inn that's seen better decades. But Ashenveil sits on the edge of the Thornmere, an ancient swamp the locals don't enter after dark. Three days ago, something started moving in the Thornmere. Last night, it reached the tree line. This morning, it crossed it. You were already on the road when the smoke appeared. The question isn't whether you'll help. The question is what kind of help you'll be.
