The Villain Manifesto
Perhaps you can dry off while running... you don't know. You creep stealthily through the house in the general direction of the door you previously saw at the end of the alley. Luckily, the door actually did belong to this house!
You sneak out into the alleyway, which is empty of denizens, much to your relief. You try keeping to the back alleys and out of the public eye as much as possible - and it works.
You run to the edge of town. If you had to get by the town guards, you'd have your hands full. Fortunately, even though this is a fortified township, you know a place where the town wall is still breached after the last Orcish invasion. You make your way to the breach quickly.
Having gotten out of town, you head to the forest nearby. It is sparse on its outskirts, but it isn't long until you've made it into the thick of the forest. It's good for not being seen from Vitomir, but bad for running into territorial Elven druids. You try to make your way as carefully as you know how, hoping to run into a pathway of some sort... and soon.
Night is falling quickly and you're still in probably the thickest forest you've ever been in. You remind yourself never to go off the beaten path again!
What will you do?
