As the group made their way through the forest, they noticed that the trees were becoming sparser, and the ground was becoming more rocky. They had left the dense forest behind and had entered into a more barren landscape. They could see mountains in the distance, and a river snaking its way through the valley.
Kaide pointed to the river. "We should follow that. It'll lead us to the village."
As they followed the river, they came across a bridge that crossed over to the other side. They started to make their way across when they suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise. The bridge began to shake, and they realized that it was about to collapse.
"Quickly, get to the other side!" shouted Kaide.
They ran as fast as they could, but the bridge was collapsing fast. They could hear the wood splintering and cracking beneath their feet. Just as they reached the other side, the bridge gave way, and they fell to the ground.
They got up, bruised and shaken but otherwise unharmed. They looked back to see the broken bridge hanging over the raging river below.
"We'll have to find another way around," said Kaide.
As they continued on their journey, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. They knew that they were getting closer to the enemy territory, and they had to be extra cautious.
