Lead them to the nearest pit in the ground
From Create Your Own Story
The foothills around you are full of sudden drops, edges, and deep pits in the earth. Piping loudly, you lead the two bandits tot he nearest gap in the ground you can find. Their expressions, already turning sour from exhaustion, move to looks of horror as they find themselves jumping and jigging on the edge of the pit. Then, with a final leap and clap, they disappear over the side...
You put your murderous flute away, and continue on your journey towards the Hills. About half an hour later you reach the start of the climb into the Hills proper, and continue upwards until you reach a fork in the road.
The road splits around the base of a gigantic tree, but does not rejoin on the other side. The left path winds down into a valley. There is a river there, and the path follows the left bank. It is a safer route, secluded and protected, but the curve of the landscape would mean you were almost backtracking. The right path rises up a slope towards the first thick forest of the Hills. It's hard to see much further, the forest is so sudden and thick. It may be hard going in that direction, but the Hills will involve a lot of climbing eventually and you may get a decent view of the next leg form the top of the ridge.
You are about to make your choice when you hear a faint cry from somewhere close at hand.
