Kalon Research Department Agent #31,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You have come to visit a darkly vieled forest nestled in the centre of Britain. Reports have been sent to HQ about the strange and unsettling aura given off by the habitat, and you have been sent to solve the mystery. With you is a large folder, of which contains all the information your team has gathered about the suspected creature - your job is to fill in the blanks. Good luck, and travel safe.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm- Kalon HQ Organisation Team

After reading the letter you've been given, you fold it carefully and slot it into your pocket. Sighing, you search the area around you for clues as to where you are. Great, you think, frantically scanning the endless labrinth of trees. A map really would of been handy, you continue, silently cursing at the uselessness of your team. And they said they were organised. I guess it's up to you to navigate the woodlands all by yourself.

After a long time wondering about, you come to a battered wooden sign with 'welcome' shoddily engraved on the surface. It would have been a wonderful sight, if it wasn't for the vandalism so fearsomely painted across. In red paint, the words 'keep out' are messily scrawled across the bottom, and a large cross obstructs the previous message. I mean, you're not one of HQ's detectives, but you can sure as hell tell that this is not a good sign. Huffing and puffing, you slump down to the floor, and take a swig of water from the bottle you've been given. All this searching buisness is thirsty work.

What comes next is a huge relief, to say the least. Whilst your eyes are level with the muddy woodland floor, you notice a thick sheet of paper stuck between the wooden base of the sign and the grass. Desperately, you pick it up, and your face attempts to twist into a smile as you see what is on it. A map! Maybe things are going to turn out okay after all... although the shroud of mist and ominous sound of silence begs to tell you otherwise.

With the map firmly gripped in your left hand, you begin to pull out the folder containing the information you are supposed to check out. Now you have a decent understanding of where you are, you believe it safe to stop and have a little browse. It seems a lot of the basic information has already been found out for you, and you begin to wonder how the team have already gathered so much information. I mean, who came up with the body type bit? It must have been a guess, based on habitat and previous sightings - although it is believed nobody has seen the suspect in several years. A lot can change in such a short time.

After checking out all of the current info, you decide to proceed into the forest and properly begin your journey. Everything about the atmosphere is dark and dusty, yet it almost compells you to delve in deeper. You're not sure if it's just the mystery of the place, or perhaps the work of some kind of magical presence, but whatever it is - it works. Taking a deep breath before glancing on last time at the map, you decide you know where you want to go. Straight into the gloomiest thicket of trees - of course.

After walking in the same direction for close to six minutes, you notice a change in the forest's flora. Everything is darker - but not the kind of fearsome, mystical darkness you had previously encountered. Instead, everything is quite literally blackened with soot, and shrivelled compared to the boastful bushes just a few steps behind. This particular patch believes to have been scorched down a long time ago, and obviously nothing has been brave enough to try and reclaim such a wasteland. It's a pity, really - you can imagine that (much like the rest of the forest), this place could have been quite beautiful. Somebody should really take better care of the place.

And that's when you see it. Amongst the dead and unsightly brambles, you notice another piece of paper trapped in the tight grasp of the forest. This time, it is not a map, but instead a kind of advertisement. In large captials are the words 'save Britain's wildlife', and in smaller letters 'leave our forest's alone'. A picture of a Kalon with long flowing hair is printed across the flyer, but it is too old for you to make out any proper features. Underneath all of this are several angry paragraphs about how imposters are destroying natural habitats, but you decide to skim through that. The most important find is scrawled at the bottom of the page: 'yours truly, forest guardian Delamere'. You guess you've found your first blank to fill in that file.
