"The night air had finally descended onto the land, waking all those who seek refuge under the stars.
The creatures of the night had begun to play, while the creatures of the day had gone away.
Tip toe goes the traveler. Worried to be seen, For the monsters will surely make him bleed.
They say to travel by night is a fools errand.
The vilest of things lurk in every darkened crevasse, waiting to snatch and swallow you whole.
Be careful dear traveler. Oh do be careful.
For there is no one who will here your screams."

With all it's might, the moon had stretched to the highest point into the sky, giving blessings to all those who dwell in between: monster and man a like. A select few of Hunters and humans are to arrive at the destination within The Tyni Forest under the instructions of The Order of the Hunt.
"The Order of the Hunt" was created a year ago by the Hunter known as Daemon of the Wild and Axlen, The Spirit Walker. Daemon had been a Hunter for eighteen years before realizing the error in the Hunter's code. For years, Hunters traveled and fought alone. Rarely did they seek the help of others. It wasn't because of their pride conflicting with them; it was because that's what they had simply done for generations and what they continued to do there after as if they were all lions hunting their own prey, but unlike their lion comparison, they died miserable and agonizing deaths with only a shadow by their side. Daemon of the Wild had seen many of his brethren die through his long service as a Hunter and decided to make a change to the way the everyday Hunter carried themselves.
On one his hunts, Deamon of the Wild had come to a high point in which he could not climb over himself. A couple of days later, another Hunter had entered the same inn that Daemon of the Wild had been staying in for the duration of this particular Hunt. He asked the Hunter for he his name. He quickly found out that the Hunter was in fact the renown Spirit Walker. With this in mind, he had to make his request known, so he approached The Spirit Walker and asked him a simple question...
"Will you help me with my Hunt?"
With that, The Order of the Hunt was born.
"The Campfire"

Now besides the four other Hunters that belonged to The Order of the Hunt, nine humans were summoned to the meeting location as well to participate in the Hunt. They were the first to arrive at the meeting spot. The shabby group of human fighters had resembled mercenaries for hire, but they were in fact Warriors from the village that lied just north of The Tyni Forest. They were the first to arrive.
For the past week, they had been plagued by an army of Barbarians who sought to take their food and women. Day after day the barbarians attacked, leaving The Village of Rouke in a state worse than the day before.They had sent a message to The Order of the Hunt earlier that week, however, requesting assistance immediately. The message had been received and a plan of action was put in place.
The Rouke Warriors stood by the large rock that favored the face of a horse and started a campfire just as the note had told them to do so as they waited for the other Hunters to join them. Anxiously staring into the wild, they had their weapons drawn and pointed into the night beyond where the light of the campfire couldn't reach. They wanted to be prepared for whatever came their way, for they knew of the dangers that lurked through the night. They hoped the Hunters would make haste and get there soon. Only then would they be at ease.
(Okay from here, we will start by how you got here to the location. You can talk about about where you were before the forest, what you were doing when you got to the forest, and what happened when you got the meeting location.)
