You get out of the red forest safely enough. You don't even feel watched or anything. In fact, you have noticed the bird population there, while is not entirely absent, to be much more sparse and limited. A weird, weird forest. But now you have a perfect opportunity to decide where to go next. Maybe back to the bay where the goblins were fishing? Or maybe a bit north to the river that is supposed to run to the ocean north of the bay? Or right across the river and... somewhere?
