The forrest traps the PCs that enter it until a suitable offering is given. The more they stay in the forest the more it consumes them untill they become lost forever. Start a Countdown (12) that ticks down according to the following criteria:
- The party delays (rests or makes unnecessary long actions): Tick down 4
- They disrespect the land: Tick down 3
- They argue loudly: Tick down 2
- They force their way out: Tick down 1
The more the countdown progresses, the PC experience a fog thickening around them. Once the countdown reaches 0, the players become forever lost in the fog.

Whenever the PCs try to excape by any means other than giving the forest an offering, thay are considered trying to force their way out. Roll a suitable attribute check agaist a difficulty (14) and give them an appropriate result:
Success with hope: Reveal an hint about the forest requiring an offering to let them out (i.e. give them the berserker encounter)
Success with fear: The PCs succed at what they are trying to do, yet they dont seem to make progress in escaping the forest
Failure with Hope: Mark a stress for all PCs
Failure with Fear: Mark two stress for all PCs

Spend a Fear: The spirits of the forest prank the players, trying to provoke them and throw them deeper into the forest.

The PCs can succeed on a roll to find the exit with hope, or pay one hope per PC to encounter a berserker. The berserker is still young and just defeated his first dire bear in hand to hand combat. He is wounded and fully stressed, but cant enter a berserker rage. He can offer the PCs insights on how they can escape the forest
