The path is made treacherous by roots as big around as a barbarian's bicep. If it is supposed to be leading somewhere in particular, it's taking neither the most direct nor the easiest route. It opens up into a marshy clearing to the south and meanders northwest to drier ground. A large spider pauses its work to regard you dispassionately from its web in a nearby scrub pine.
