This is the deepest, darkest part of the woods, in the very center of the
forest.  You can hardly see your hand in front of your face, and your torch
does little to illuminate the scene.  The underbrush is extremely tangled
and the trees grow very close together; you have to use the edge of your
weapon to cut a space through the bushes whenever you want to move.  Worse,
the cut area seems to grow back together almost as soon as you cut it.  Is
this merely an illusion caused by the darkness, or a symptom of the evil
power of these woods?  
A lithe grey fox slips through the trees.
A thorny, red-veined vine twines its way around your feet.
