so glad to see you back and adventuremaking, douglas. we still talk about vox mentis!

Hey thanks, Chwoka! That's very kind :) Unfortunately I got slammed with life (and a new baby) and I had to drop adventuring for a while. I thought about getting back to Vox Mentis but I'm not sure if I could recapture the lightning I had at the time. I'm glad you all liked what I did though! I'm taking some inspiration from All-Night Laundry this time and hoping to update this adventure once every weekday at least. Thanks for reading! Hopefully we can create something cool here together!

>You go to too many wild parties, you need to learn to slow down.

A party... yeah. You vaguely remember a party. Which is weird, because you're not really the party type. Certainly not the black-out-and-wake-up-bleeding-from-your-head-party type.

You rise to your feet, your legs feeling uncooperative and shaky.

Yeah man jumping out of a moving vehicle last night... Not a good idea

There was a vehicle. You were moving. You're pretty sure, but every time you think you remember it slips away from you. Did you jump from a moving vehicle? Is that what happened? Why would you do that?

> Look around for anything telling you where you are

The scent of pine in the cool night air invades your nostrils as you take in your surroundings. Trees of varying heights surround you with no end in sight.

God, your head hurts.

A sound drifts through the woods; a strained, protracted scream. There's something feral about it. An animal, dying.
