As you walk home from Tel’Adre buying supplies preparing for Mareth’s winter season you start feeling drops of snow. “Surprised the demons haven’t corrupted it yet”. You feel a sense of astonishment as it reminds you of the wonders you had in Ingnam as a child. As you get back to camp you take hold in your cabin and stare outside the window, admiring the snowfall as the world around you becomes coated with a blanket of snow. While appreciating the snowfall outside and reminiscing on your childhood you’re interrupted when you hear one of your camp’s traps go off. Hearing this, you rush outside with your weapon in hand, fully armored up and prepared for battle.
Once you begin to look around you see a beautiful woman with shoulder length straight hair that’s lighter orange in color standing before you. Her eyes were brown and full of determination, almost as they it was piercing through you. Her height was that of an average female and she possessed C-Cup breasts which were covered by her sleeveless green top and had thin white shorts which accented her toned butt. What was the most surprising about this encounter was that she was completely barefoot.
After observing her appearance you ask her if she’s some kind of moron dressing like this in the cold season. She noticeably takes offense to your scathing remark and is so visibly angry that her eye starts to twitch. Fueled with rage, she lunges at you with immense speed; you barely have enough time to raise your armament in defense of her attack. As she swiftly delivers her punch you're shocked that not only does she possess extraordinary agility, but also an extreme amount of force behind her attack. You’re sure if you were hit head on with that attack you would’ve suffered a massive injury. Gritting your teeth and preparing your sword for battle you ask her a flurry of questions.

“Who are you?! What do you want?! How did you find this place?!”
She completely ignores your rapid-fire questions and dashes at you again. You tighten the grip on your sword and brace for impact, watching her closely in an attempt to analyze a pattern in her movements. To your surprise, this attack was much slower and less powerful than the first one, giving you enough time to react and raise your sword again to parry her attack and you were successfully able to hold your ground. Taking advantage of the situation, you push her back this time using the full force of your sword, putting a great amount of distance between the two of you. Deciding that there’ll be time to talk after the battle you steel yourself. You notice the woman was growing sluggish, likely due to her previous attacks. After observing that she’s obviously not used to battling, you remember how she stepped on a trap at the start of the encounter and you realize she can’t see the traps clearly because most of them are covered by the falling snow. You decide to lure her around the camp into all of your traps so that she wears herself out and is possibly captured by one of them. While you stand around devising your plan, the woman starts growing more and more impatient by the second, and begins to charge at you again. Her attacks are becoming increasingly predictable and you successfully dodge and block them, frustrating her even more. CLING! Her leg was completely stuck inside one of the bear traps you planted, it didn’t do much damage to her because it was dull but it succeeded in immobilizing her just a bit. She instinctively looked down, feeling that something had just attached to her leg, and you knew this was a chance to capitalize on. While she was paying attention to the bear trap that was on her leg you dash at her, baring your sword’s handle you bonk her on her head as hard as you can, knocking her unconscious.
Immediately after knocking her unconscious some black mist appears to leave her body, destroying her clothes along with it. As the black mist disappears into the atmosphere there’s a small twinkle in the sky that appeared where it was rising and drops to the ground beside you, it’s a new sword.
“That’s weird, usually when a person’s knocked out they don’t send black mists up into the heavens that drop possibly cursed swords in freezing snow.”
