A second game of Doomed Pilgrim

See the first game.

I'm a warrior seeking peace and an end to bloodshed. I'm on a pilgrimage to the Temple to No Gods in the distant City of Gulls. My pilgrimage has brought me to the Ragged Forest, inhabited by a coven of infamous and evil witches. My goal is to pass safely through and continue my pilgrimage.

You, my friends online, play the world. Your goal is to see me to my doom, instead of safely on my way. You're allowed only to directly answer my direct questions, though, so you might not be able to do it.

The rules:

1. Only answer my questions
2. If you don't already know the answer, make something up
3. Keep your answers short
4. If your answer's disruptive, I'm allowed to delete it
5. Otherwise, I have to go with the first answer somebody gives.

I have a long fire-blackened knife under my shirt and instincts honed by a life of violence. I have been walking through the Ragged Forest for only a day and as I have walked deeper the trees have woven ever more tightly together, until the ground before me is quite dark. I am sitting before a fire whose light does not reach beyond this small clearing, thinking of the past and those I have left behind. I stare into the flames and watch the dancing sparks.

Something warns me of approaching danger. What warns me? Anyone should answer.

(A suggestion - danger does not have to be quite so immediate as in the last game - we can build up to it with suspense).
