 # Broken Riders
 10-15 minutes.
+## The Horse
 >[!quote] Narration
 >The fog has been thick for hours, muffling even your own footsteps. When the wind shifts, a new smell rolls through it — hot iron and rot, fresh enough to sting.
 >A shape stumbles out of the mist ahead of you.
 >Or… what’s left of one.
 >Its flank is torn open, ribs glittering slick and white beneath shredded muscle. Its left eye hangs loose by a thread of sinew. Steam rises from its wounds in slow, choking billows.
 >The animal takes two trembling steps toward you, lifts its head as if asking for help,
-> and collapses sideways with a _wet, cracking thud_, its legs folding like snapped reeds.

+> and collapses sideways with a _wet, cracking thud_, its legs folding like snapped reeds.
+
+Ask them what they do. If they stall, prompt:
+1. Do you approach?
+2. Keep your distance? 
+3. Check the tracks?
+4. Call out?
+
+If they choose to poke around, nothing moves or attacks. Just a horse bleeding into the mud. The forest holds its breath.
+
+## The Rider
+>[!quote] Narration
+> The fog behind the fallen horse shifts again.
+> You hear armor clattering. Not marching — stumbling.
+> A second horse steps forward, led not by reins, but by momentum alone. Its rider sits slumped in the saddle, head lolling at an angle that a human neck should not allow.
+> The rider’s helmet has been crushed inward. Bone pushes through broken metal like chalk through tin.
+> The horse takes one more step.
+> The rider slides sideways off its back.
+> He hits the ground spine-first.
+> **CRACK**
+> The sound echoes. Too loud. Too close.
+> The man’s body folds wrong in the middle, legs twitching independently of the torso, nerves firing their last confused signals.
+
+If they examine the body:
+	- The spine is shattered in 3 places
+	- Shoulders dislocated.
+	- Lower jaw broken, and hanging by a hinge of skin.
+	- He did screaming, in pain, and recently.
+He is holding:
+	- Something wrapped in a blood-stained scrap of parchment.
+	- A wooden toy figure painted with a smile.
+	- Burned into the back- "Is No Fun, Is No Blinsky"
+## The Thing in The Mist
