The forest is a dark and mysterious place, where few but the bravest hunters dare wander. The trees loom over you, obscuring any sort of sunlight. Despite this, it is a valuable food and lumber resource for the nearby castle's inhabitants, for the trees are tall and thick and a plentiful amount of deer wander about within.

I am a deer. I live in a beautiful forest and am usually left alone. Sometimes the king and his friends try and hunt me with big packs of dogs. I don't like being chased.
Hello, troll. What brings you to the forest? Just waiting for some hapless humans to try and cross my bridge.  Hasn't been any fer a few days though, alas. I'm glad there aren't many humans around lately. They always bring big scary dogs and try to hunt me. Aye, well, that's be humans for yeh.  Gotta scare some respect into em or they'll walk all over you. I'm glad you're here to keep them on their toes. Here, ya look a bit peckish.  I stole this off of the last fool that wandered down these here parts - I had a bit of it earlier, it was pretty tasty, actually. Thank you for your generosity, but the forest provides all that I need. Well, I suppose I'll just save it for a snack for later then.  This golden thing here has all sorts o pockets in it.  I keep findin' things it! Oh, shiny! What sort of human did you find with that? Some fat lordling.  Ha, he screamed like a girl when he first saw me.  I didn't even have to threaten him, he fainted dead away! The fat lordlings are the worst! He surely had that coming! I think he may have defecated himself, the smell was so foul!  And his guards took one look at me and ran off, tripping over their swords.
