The world can be a very dangerous place, for the ill-prepared. Between the shining lights of civilizations, and the flickering torches of small towns and outposts, the night is dark... and full of monsters. For most people, the worst they'll ever encounter is a cowardly goblin, or a small band of brutish orcs. The unlucky meet with more dangerous creatures, and many do not live to tell the tale. But few venture beyond the safety and comfort of walled cities and villages, and when they do, they stick to well-marked, and frequently patrolled, roads.<br/><br/>There are those, however, who seek adventure for a living. Who strike out into the darkness, hunt down the more dangerous monsters, and keep them from snuffing out those flickering flames. Some are brave, some are foolish, and all believe themselves prepared for the dangers that lurk just beyond. But the darkness is cunning, and many times, no amount of preparation will be enough.<br/><br/>Will the heroine of our story rise to meet the challenges? Or will she, too, succumb to the engulfing darkness?
