Good logic. But you forgot one thing.


Rayne feels around the damp darkness on her left and takes a step towards the opening. To her horror, she finds no ground under her stretched left leg. Too late! She has put her body weight forward and falls, face-first with a loud cry, on a damp, dusky floor.

The cry attracts the attention of something big and murky near the roof, and it moves slowly towards the fallen figure.

Rayne checks herself quickly and feels relieved at no apparent broken bones on her body. The ground beneath her feels squishy, and her senses tell her she is not alone in here. Reaching for another match inside her belt, she lights it and lifts it up. What she sees freezes her blood.



An enormous, mutated Black Widow covers the black cavern from the floor to the ceiling, and stares back at her.

Use your staff to beat it back, while you try and get back into the opening from where you fell?

Or use your Special Ability - Fatal - to create it's worst fear? Remember, this will take away 2 Sanity Points permanently. Choose.

Demon Seed climbs up on the side of the well, and steps gently on the first stone step. He peers down at the second step and slowly places his leg on it, testing it. Once he feels its firm enough, he moves forward. Down he goes into the well.

When things become totally dark around him, he lights a match in the process of taking the next step. As if in response, a low growl greets him from near, somewhere just below him. He stops and looks down.



A huge pair of fangs snarl back at him, which belong to some sort of a zombified Lycan!

Demon Seed tries to take a step back, but doesnt find the last one and stumbles. Somehow regaining his balance, Demon Seed gulps.

Take on the creature with your mace, or turn around and try your best to get out of the well? You do have a Special Ability - Brawl - which might cause plenty of damage to the creature, but you will lose 2 Strength points everytime you use it. Choose.

Roshiq ignores the box, thinking it to be too tempting for it to be some sort of a concealed trap. He walks forward and comes out to a long stretch of rocks and sand, and sees a river some distance ahead of him. The river looks peculiar, with the water emitting a strange, yellow reflection all around. Roshiq moves forward to investigate, and almost immediately feels pulled into the sand.



He yells once, but can't stop his left leg from getting trapped between two, huge metal clamps which snap shut tightly, eating into his leg's flesh. Roshiq screams in pain.

Roshiq is trapped!

Sorry Roshiq, you are trapped on the sandy river bank and must wait for someone to come and help you.

Hmm...you sure?

Newb decides to wait for the shadow to reveal itself. The shadow grows bigger as it keeps running towards him, and Newb's eyes slowly start widening in horror.



The pale moonlight reveals the shadow to be a Vampire-Zombie mutation! And it is almost upon Newb!

Jump the fence and run? Or shoot at the infernal thing with your Dual Magnums? Be the Badass? Choose.

Let's go check out those shiny objects, I just love traps.

If you tried hard enough.

Despare is intrigued by all the tiny, shining lights below him. He climbs down the ravine slowly and heads into the trees. He reaches the spot and peers down at the forest floor, between the small shrubs. They look small and round, and emanate a bright, golden reflection. Despare reaches down and picks one up. It is a gold coin!

Despare's heart starts racing. He looks around at the several scattered gold coins and runs around in glee, picking them up. After he has about 7-8 coins in hand, a slow murmuring sound on his right perks his ears. He stops abruptly and looks towards it.



ZOMBIES! The thought pounds through his brain.

Fight them off with your staff and risk being overpowered?
Use Fatal? It will take away 2 Sanity Points permanently the number of times you use it.
Or make a dash back towards the edge, and up over the rocks to try and get on top of the ravine again?
Choose.

Doc looks straight at the tree-house for signs of activity. It looks dull and lifeless. He walks towards the trees below it and finds a long rope-ladder leading into the house. He climbs it and comes into the central room of the tree-house. The moonlight shows some small tables and chairs, and some items in the corner. Two doors on either side are closed. A balcony behind Doc reflects some more items thrown around it.

Investigate the room and the balcony? Or go through either of the two doors?
Choose.
