He checks that no ogres are nearby and begins to widen the hole so that he can fit in and escape, pulling down some of the loose bars of the fence, careful not to make too much unnecessary noise.

I "wake up" and continue going towards Haven.

You see it is in fact a mule, waiting for its master.

You also hear combat not far from here.



You manage to escape, but one of the ogres notices you.

You also hear some grunts and squealing from a boar.



Haha wow this has been another useless turn for all of you.

(Oh yeah, you get Four Level 0 Spells from here.)



You continue your long journey. It's been mostly uneventful besides the animals and stuff.



You continue on your way.

You hear something... deathly behind you. Like some kobolds flipped the fuck out after...

An Undead has been created, Rayth. It must be the work of a necromancer.



I'm going to have spells run on what COULD be construed as plot but really are just there to limit the players.

Gold's spells are more akin to sorcery, and drain his stamina the more he uses it. To use two spells in quick succession will temporarily disable his ability to run, and three his ability to hustle. Four, he cannot move.

RaPiD, or rather Rayth's spells draw from a larger pool, but can only be used three times before he temporarily flips the fuck out goes insane. His morals might take a hit, depending on the situation.

Continue on.

A timeskip might help.
