Forest Path Bridge

Precarious Wooden Bridge

The rickety wooden bridge spans a narrow gorge, its planks warped and slick with moss. The structure groans underfoot, the rotten wood protesting with each cautious step. A sharp drop lies on either side, the ravine bottom lost in shadow. Rain has swollen the stream below into a churning torrent. The bridge’s narrow path forces bodies close—Rask’s guards encircle the Doctor’s group, their stances aggressive yet balanced precariously on the unstable timbers. A cold wind carries the scent of damp earth and wet wood up from the depths.
