From Motojoto:

“While your party works to clear the road of the fallen trees blocking their path its up to them to ultimately decide whether they should continue down the well worn stone road chancing an encounter with any other shady travelers making their way under the cover of night, or should they take the muddy side path leading deeper and deeper into the shadowed woods whispering with the chitters and rumblings of unseen wildlife?
In the end only time will tell which path the party shall tread, but unbeknownst to them, on this particular night, there are no good roads left to take because danger lurks just around the bend.”

“To me the thing that makes D&D and other tabletop roleplaying games great is the freedom of choice it provides to their players. To that end there is no better example of the freedom of choice than a diverging path, even if both of those paths lead to danger.”
