The Hedge so near to Sacramento has taken on the hues and trappings of the season, just in more exuberance than the mortal city. Where Sacramento remains warm, green, and Summer-like, the Hedge has embraced the dying palate of Autumn, at least in this portion of the eternal maze.
The vines along the walls have exploded into colors. Large leaves of deep red, vibrant orange, and golden yellows show hints of the dull browns and greys to come without actually containing any of those colors yet. The walls are totally covered in the leaves, so that not even the vines themselves are visible beneath the blanket of colors. There are also lumps and irregularities in the wall of leaves, as if things were waiting just beneath the surface to be found by the curious and adventurous. Without further exploration it would be impossible to tell if the leave hid the harvest-ready bounty of Goblin fruits, or dagger-long and razor sharp thorns thirsty for the blood of the unwary.
Somewhere within the hedge-walls the constant chittering and rustling of small animals moving can be heard. The astute and long-established might notice a difference this year from last. The hedge feels less of waiting predators and more of unseen eyes. The result is no less ominous, but it is different somehow.
This scene begins at the entrance to a known trod located near the Four Seasons. Feel free to narrate your arrival and go from there. Happy Hunting!
