Mado suddenly turned towards the forest.
"Oh no."
I wasn't familiar with this place, so I couldn't tell if a new noise was a threat. I entirely was reliant on my guide to determine if a threat was present, which SUCKS. She continued to stare in the direction of the forest. I broke the silence, asking the question that was eating me alive.
"Mado, what is it?"

"The night means the monsters come out to play..."
Well. That probably sounds ominous to most travelers, but I'm not most travelers. I grabbed my axe and prepared to fight, asking questions to assess the threat.
"How many? What kind?"
"There's a lot of them, mostly zombies, skeletons, and creepers."
"What are their weaknesses?"
"None that are particularly relevant right now..."
"Do they cause the painful deterioration of your body until nothing remains?!"

That question was apparently notable because she looked at me confused.
"No?.."
"Okay then!"
"The fact that you say that like it's normal is messed up."
"Yeah. Yeah it is."
