You can't think and you can't remember anything, so you easily climb out of the small pool and stand up on the rock,
dripping wet you look out of the waterfall-cave. All you see is gigantic, snow-capped mountains, going off to your
left and right forming a steep valley in front of you. All you can see of the valley floor is mist and mystery.

You hear a sound behind you, you turn and from the darkness you see a mass of tentacles creep towards you.
Their mass blocks the way. As they get closer smaller tentacles dart out and wrap around your wrists and ankles.
They start to pull and you fall to the floor, slowly being dragged back into the darkness.

You struggle to escape your bonds but it is in vain. Your muscles cry out in pain from struggling and your loin cloth
suddenly flashes bright white for an instant. Your hands and ankles slip from the tentacles grasp. You roll away from
the mass surrounding you, more smaller tentacles dart towards you to grab you and you dodge each and every one.

You turn and try to think of a way to get out of this situation before a large tentacle swings at your side and
hits you, your body is rocked by the force and you are knocked flying backwards. The immense force sails
you out of the caverns opening, all you can see is the sky, you twist your head towards the cavern and you
finally see, the cavern opening is the mouth of a giant skull. Natural or artificial, you do not know.

Gravity takes hold and you body spins and dives, head first towards the misty valley floor. Gigantic
spikes jut from the rock face, you hit one of these and you tumble outwards. Below you gigantic trees
dozens of feet across quickly rise up to meet you. Luckily you miss hitting any of these trees, unluckily
you manage to hit some sort of wooden bridge between trees. You pass right through this and you remember
blackness as you tumble towards the forest floor.

You awake, tied by your hands and feet to a long stick. You look around you and you see that you're in a gigantic
wooden room. All around, young, nubile women stand around, chanting. One in particular is leading the group.
All of them are naked, some are dancing but most are angry and shouting. Far below you is an iron fire pit,
there is a small fire in it, but you can also see many naked women adding wood to fire. You can hear the
leaders voice rise above all the others, saying what must be ancients rites of a ritual. All you can hear is
"Oh, Great Bill, The Destroyer. We give this sacrifice to you so that we may live to praise your name!"




What do you do?

You awake in a small eddy, spinning you forever in circles. You know not from where you came, nor how you came to be here.
You relax into the calm water as you look around you and make out your surroundings. You're lying in one of the only calm spots
of water, all around you water rushes past you, to cascade down an inmeasurable waterfall. The walls are smooth rock, with no
openings except for a small patch of dry rock near you and a slightly larger patch across the raging river.



You are completely naked except for a plain, gray loincloth.



You gaze about yourself as you ponder your name and your purpose.


Who are you?

You quickly duck down and store the hare in your inventory.
Naturally you equip it.
You turn to face the lumbering skeleton advancing towards
you on the left. You quickly a deftly un-equip your dagger
and lunge towards the skeleton, aiming to punch it in its bony face...



Unexpectedly you rapidly move forward faster than you expected,
a lot of faster. Before you even recognise what is happening you've
rushed forward and crushed the skeletons skull with your fists,
knocking the lifeless bones clattering into the wall opposite you.
What's left after the great crash is a pile of broken and scattered bones.

What the fuck?



The coffin to the south of you starts to rock back and forth, unintelligible
words drift from the dark, black, stone, box of death...

What the fuck?

The bleach-white skeletons stumbled from the casket in a thirst of vengeance from beyond the grave.
The one on the left pulls out a rusty sabre from a rotten leather belt by its side, its red eyes piercing and its
jaw half off it moves around the hole you came from. The one on the right moves towards you and readies a
half-rotten wooden mace from its leather belt. It moves towards you.
Naturally you back off slightly and ready your blade for battle.



You lunge towards the skeleton on the right and deftly avoid the clumsy, wide swing of the rotting mace-skeleton.
You pass under the skeletons arm and spin around it and slash your blade towards the rib cage of the skeleton,
hoping to do what little damage you can, and the skeleton disappears in a cloud of smoke...



Standing, sitting rather, where the skeleton should be is a small, brown hare.

What the fuck? 

You do scurry over to the pile of junk and search through it,
as you assumed it was mostly junk. But you found a short blade,
but 3 or 4 inches with rope wrapped around the end of it for a handle.
Naturally you equip the blade.
You do a combat roll to the north-east to ward of any predators
and head onwards.



You stride through the passage with pride and continue a short way to
a stop, ahead of you is a blood-red silk rope coming through a hole in
the roof. Naturally you pull yourself up with your muscled and tanned
arms into the ceiling...



You emerge to find yourself in some sort of catacomb, the stone around
you is darker and unnatural, there are bodies in graves in the walls, 3
coffins stand upright, one to the south, which is dark and black all over.
The two to the north are open, the lids laying on the ground. Two
cadavers are leaning upright.. Their eyes are open, glowing red and
angry.


What do you do?
