Certainly! Here's the revised version with the betrayal event including Nolan's plan to kill the team and steal their possessions:
---
Ronan's journey to the Dark Woods began as he met the team of adventurers assembled by the Guild. At the edge of the village, a mix of anticipation and trepidation filled the air. Two women and three men stood alongside him, each preparing for the expedition with a mix of gear and determination.
**The Team:**
1. **Liora:** A fierce warrior with fiery red hair and a sword that gleamed with enchantments. Her presence exuded confidence and strength.
2. **Elara:** A skilled mage with a calm demeanor, her staff was adorned with glowing runes that hinted at powerful magic.
3. **Garret:** A seasoned fighter with a gruff exterior, wielding a bow with deadly precision. His quiver was stocked with a variety of arrows, each suited for different situations.
4. **Nolan:** A clever rogue, shifty-eyed and quick with a dagger, known for his sharp instincts.
5. **Jarek:** A jovial and somewhat dim-witted muscle tank with a large shield and axe. His loyalty to the team was unquestionable, and his presence was reassuring despite his lack of intellectual finesse.
Ronan introduced himself to the group, and the initial camaraderie helped ease his nerves. They set off together towards the foreboding Dark Woods, the path ahead shrouded in dense mist and the promise of danger.
As they entered the woods, the canopy of trees grew thicker, casting eerie shadows that danced in the dim light. The air was damp and heavy with the scent of earth and decay. The team moved with practiced efficiency, navigating the treacherous terrain with the knowledge and skills they possessed.
**Liora** took the lead, her eyes scanning the surroundings with practiced vigilance. **Elara** followed close behind, occasionally murmuring incantations to detect any hidden threats. **Garret** and **Nolan** flanked the group, with Garret ready to provide long-range support with his bow. **Jarek** trailed behind, his shield and axe at the ready, providing a sense of safety despite his less-than-brilliant demeanor.
Ronan stayed alert, his newly acquired Super Senses enhancing his awareness of the forest's subtle movements. His instincts told him that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. As they ventured deeper, the group decided to set up camp for the night, gathering around a fire to discuss their strategy.
As night fell and the group settled into their tents, Ronan noticed **Nolan** acting unusually shifty. His movements were erratic, and he seemed to be casting furtive glances around the camp. Something felt off.
Ronan's heightened senses detected a series of muffled voices and rustling near the edge of the camp. Quietly, he crept from his tent and followed the sounds. He saw **Nolan** speaking in hushed tones with a group of rough-looking individuals—thugs armed with weapons and carrying sacks. It was clear they were planning something sinister.
**Nolan**'s plan was chilling. He intended to betray the team by killing them while they slept and stealing all their supplies. Ronan's heart raced as he overheard the details of the plot. He needed to act fast.
Returning to the camp, Ronan woke **Liora**, **Garret**, and **Elara**. "Nolan is plotting to kill us all and steal our supplies. We need to ambush him and his thugs before it's too late."
**Liora**'s eyes narrowed in anger. "We can't let him get away with this. Let's move before he can execute his plan."
**Garret** nodded, his bow ready. "We'll deal with him and his thugs swiftly."
The team moved quietly through the darkness, their weapons drawn and their senses alert. As they reached the area where **Nolan** and his thugs were preparing to attack, **Liora** signaled for an immediate assault.
Without warning, **Liora** charged in, her sword gleaming in the moonlight. **Garret** fired arrows with precision, targeting the thugs from a distance. **Elara** cast a spell to shield her allies and disorient the enemies. **Jarek** lumbered forward with his shield raised, ready to engage in close combat.
The surprise attack threw **Nolan** and his thugs into disarray. The thugs fought back fiercely, but the team's coordinated assault proved overwhelming. Ronan used his Super Senses to track the movements of the thugs, guiding his teammates in their fight.
The battle was intense, but the team's unity and strategy prevailed. **Liora**'s sword and **Garret**'s arrows struck true, while **Elara**'s spells weakened the enemies. **Jarek**'s raw strength kept them at bay, and Ronan's agility and precision ensured the thugs were defeated one by one.
In the end, **Nolan** lay defeated, his betrayal thwarted. The thugs were either killed or subdued, their plans ruined. The team collected the stolen supplies and the thugs' gear, redistributing the items among themselves.

**Liora** approached Ronan, her expression one of respect. "You saved us from a terrible fate. We owe you our thanks."
Ronan nodded, feeling a surge of pride. "We need to stay vigilant. The Dark Woods are full of dangers, both seen and unseen."
The group spent the rest of the night regrouping and making sure their camp was secure. The betrayal had been a harsh reminder of the perils they faced, but it had also strengthened their bond and resolve.
As dawn broke, the adventurers prepared to continue their journey through the Dark Woods, their spirits lifted by their victory and their renewed unity. With the threat of **Nolan** and his thugs behind them, they moved forward with a sense of determination and purpose.
The path ahead remained uncertain, but Ronan felt a renewed sense of hope and readiness. Each step brought him closer to fulfilling his mission and ensuring a stable future for himself and Aria. The journey was far from over, but he was prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead with courage and strength.
