Arklay Forest, Oh... It's awfully big...

[Bern]

The Arklay Forest, a true beast of nature. Often a spot where hikers could get a good workout, officials have reccomended such trips no longer occur due to bizarre murder cases in the area...

Still, the forest itself it vast, and some spots look quite similar. Being here is almost like asking to get lost...

Chuck panics, jogging through the forest recolecting what had just happened. He was playing his totally bawler acoustic cover of shot through the heart by Bon Jovi, then Frank was literally eaten alive by... What the fuck was it anyway!? He lost track of his friends during the scramble as well, there were so many of those monsters. Chuck hoped they had made it out alive / with his 6 pack of beer, he was looking forward to that. Chuck comes to a full stop, with his trusty sidekick guitar strapped to his back so it wouldn't fall off, and checks his pockets. "Shit" He says under his breath, were the fuck were the keys to his truck? This was almost the worst case scenario.

Chuck then looks around and realises he is totally lost.

Now it's the worst case scenario.

Enter area

[Bern]

Stopping to look around, Chuck can see nothing but the trees around him, thickly grown plants littering much of the ground. The forest is dark, whatever sunlight or moonlight that may be shining blocked from sight by the leaves of the tall trees around him.

There doesn't appear to be any discernable path in any direction nearby and it would seem that for the moment, Chuck would be stuck wandering aimlessly, with only the howling of the savage hounds in the distance behind him urging him on.

The howls getting the better of him, Chuck freaks out a bit and carries on his jog with his arms infront, not wanting to run into any tree's.

Continuing to run off in the direction he had been going, Chuck begins to hear the sound of a stream in the distance, though there is no clear indication of where it could be.

Alarmingly, the howling from behind seems to draw closer and it would seem he'd not be able to outrun these hellhounds forever. Whatever was going on, it was no game.

There appears to be a clearing a good distance ahead with an old dirt path running off from it in the opposite direction from where Chuck was approaching from. An old and tattered automobile appears to have been abandoned there.

"Haha, thank Gawd" Chuck states under his breath. Huffing and Puffing, Chuck picks up the pace as much as he can, and runs in the direction of the automobile.

Running over to the opening and the automobile located within, Chuck can see now that the passenger-side door, located on the other side from where he is currently stood, has been left open. The windshield has been shattered, blood splattered all over it, as well as there being a dent on the bonnet. Blood covers the entirety of the driver-side window, leaving Chuck unable to get a glimpse of the interior from this side.

Standing this close to it, the strong stench of something rotting smacks at his nostrils.

"Oh man!" Chuck grabs his nose and waves his arm around a little, as if trying to shoo away the smell. This was worse than the time they found a dead dog when they camped out that one time. Knowing he doesn't have much of a choice, he checks over his shoulder, then approaches the passenger side door and peers inside.

Moving around the front of the automobile and over to the passenger side, Chuck is now able to peer inside. Sitting in the passenger side, Chuck finds the bloodstained and badly bitten corpse of a rather robust man. The lower half off his body appears to have been torn off and is nowhere in sight, entrails from within his body splattered across the seat and the floor below. The seatbelt is shut tightly over the man. Perhaps it had become jammed, rendering him unable to escape his attacker.

Chuck can see what appears to be one of the forest's medicinal herbs sat on the driver's seat, though he'd have to reach past the corpse to get to it...

"Woooooeeeee!" Chuck exclaims, perhaps a bit louder than he should have, trying to keep his vision off of the disgusting corpse. Chuck was used to seeing some bad accidents at work, but this, this was worse than those times. "like something out of a zombie movie...naw couldn't be" Chuck states as he reaches for the green herb...

[Bern]

Reaching over, Chuck retrieves the herb. To his dismay however, the corpse suddenly springs to life, grabbing hold of his arm and biting into it. (Chuck -5).

"Holy hell! Argh!!" Chuck roars, turns out it's a zombie movie, who'd of thought!? Chuck desperatelly try's to batter the corpse off of him and get away from the car.

Chuck smacks at the Zombie with his free hand, managing to get his grabbed and bitten arm free. (Zombie #1 -2, -2). As he reels back from the automobile, the Zombie writhes around helplessly in the passenger seat. Likely it wouldn't be going anywhere soon, given the fact that it was missing legs and was wrapped with a seatbelt.

Running a short distance away, Chuck soon hears the howling of the hounds again... Drawing closer.

Chuck panics at the sound of the howls and runs down the clearing that the car was on, maybe the river would be nearby? Can those things swim? Chuck wasn't going to argue with himself over that, as long as he got distance from them.

Running through the woods, Chuck finds much of the forest to look the same. With a distinct lack of any visible landmarks, it'd be too easy to get lost or go in circles.

Proceeding on ahead, Chuck can hear the scampering of something on the ground behind him as he moves. He could always look back to see what it was, if he wished. Or he could just press on and hope for the best.

Oh this is the end, thought Chuck, he tried looking over his shoulder as he ran to see what the heck it was.

Looking back as he runs, Chuck can see that there are three rather vicious looking hounds pursuing him, not too far behind. With nothing to really defend himself with, getting caught would be harmful if not fatal.

Up ahead, the trees seem to get closer together and Chuck eventually finds himself following a narrow path of dirt and leaves ahead. A shroud of mist encases what lies at the end of the path.

"H-Help!" Chuck manages to yell as he sprints for his life into the mist, trying to keep optimistic.

Running ahead into the mist, Chuck finds himself tumbling roughly to the bottom of a relatively steep hill, bumping against a few small rocks along the way. (Chuck -10).

Skidding to a halt a short distance from the bottom of the hill, Chuck can see a wooden cabin not too far ahead of where he is currently lying down.

"Ahh Fuck!" Chuck yells out in pain, although slightly happy his guitar somehow survived. Spotting the cabin Chuck gets up to his feet "f-f-gotta get inside" he says to himself under his breath, approaching the cabin.
