Forest Dweller

You head down the path to the left. Immediately you regret it. As you head into the clearing, you see a bunch of figures hunched over, giggling. Birds chirp merrily, but as you see what they are so happy about you almost vomit. On the ground is a dead human, rotting children-like looking creatures are giggling merrily and proceeding to tear it apart as if they are opening presents. You turn to leave but see one blocking your route out. Its eyes are dark and lifeless as it utters a shrill shriek, alerting the others of your presence. They tense up, you are sure they are about to attack. There are five in all- four around the body and the one in front of you.
