Even after the sun rose the mist had not departed. Leaving a heavy wet thickness the air as you trudged up the path to the monastery. The thick wet thud of boots in mud was all the company that you'd receive at least for the time being. That was ok, you had a map!
The task was simple enough. The head priest of a local temple wanted you to investigate why they'd not received word form one of there sister monasteries in well over a month. If there was a problem, you'd be expected to resolve it, but it shouldn't be anything outside of your capable hands!
Thud, shwip, thud. The mud seemed like it was trying to swallow you whole, with your boots sticking to the ground just a bit more with every step. The misty forest air wasn't all bad though, as hints of the early fall leaves mingled in with the muggy climate making a pleasant aromatic mash.
Just as it seemed it might be time to triple check the map the ivory walls of the monastery came into view, the gleaming cherry red pillars setting it off strongly against the background of turned leaves. As you approach, nothing seems out of place. The study gates show no signs of attack, the surrounding gardens all look recently tended...
"Oh, hello, do we have a visitor?" a soft female voice calls out from the other side of the walls. The voice is soon given a body, as a young girl opens the gate, trotting out. Her long black hair laying primly against her white priestess robs, the long red skirt associated with her order jostling noisily as she approaches... What might be most striking about the girl though, is her painted white face with a just a touch of black on the nose... no, maybe it's the pair of fuzzy white pointed ears attached to the side of her head? If not that it's certainly the mass of bushy fur poking out from just above her skirt lining. The priestess looked positively vulpine... This temple revered the fox, but maybe this was taking things a bit far... "Oh, hello ma'am. My name is sister-Ella. What brings you here?" The fox-ish girl grinned.
