shadows beasts emerge
The chorus of voices suddenly stops, but the fog does not let up just yet. It covers every inch of the forest where it's impossible to see even a hoof in front of you. It's as if you're wandering the Otherworld itself.
For those of you who stayed in place to wait out the fog, you will find it starts to wrap around your body. It seems to swallow you whole and the ground beneath you disappears. Moments later, you find yourself looking out into the woods again like you had never entered. Somehow though, it seems more menacing than before with a barrier of thorns wrapping around it. Clearly it does not want you to re-enter.
Those of you who chose to try and find your way through the fog will not get very far yet. Some of you may find yourself face to face with a tree, others just fog and more fog. It may feel like it will never go away and you're trapped here.
"Run!" a voice screams out of nowhere, the sound echoing around the woods. Suddenly the fog gets thinner. A few feet ahead it begins to curl with transparent tendrils turning into smoke and then to black. It transforms into a gangly creature made of shadows with two red beady eyes. More and more appear until there is a large cluster of them. They stare off in the other direction listlessly until they notice you. They turn in unison and fly straight towards you, red eyes glowing with anger.
Somewhere, you can still hear that cry for help. It sounds more faint and desperate now, as if the shadowy creatures are attacking her too.

Those who chose to wait through the fog in this first round will find themselves lifted back to where they started and cannot re-enter. Everyone else is still inside the woods, but the fog has now transformed itself into multiple shadowy ghost creatures. They are clearly not happy as they turn and attack.
