Neverwinter Forest maelstrom

Hi! Um, I'm not including much about the random attack, as the way it is worded makes it power-play and that's not really cool.

Before long, someone came traipsing through the woodland. It was a darkly coated stranger that held some promise for Experience, until he caught their scent beyond the frost, and learned that they were not a woman to be courted — but a man, and an untethered one at that. They smelled more of wilderness than anything else, hinting towards a life on the road.

Secondly, Experience noticed the way that they spoke. It was with a childish affect. Untethered was one thought, unhinged another; they spoke to him quite rudely, as if Experience were a thing and not a person at all!

I beg your pardon? He huffed. His expression shifted from airheaded to starkly offended, before relaxing somewhere in between.

The happy flouncing of his body had come to an end as he watched the stranger, up until they lunged for him, and Experience found a sudden deftness to his rotund body, and moved out of the way.

What manner of game is this, then? Ridiculous! That was no way to greet a man!
