[i]I walk down the road at a steady pace, but making sure to watch for anything dangerous.[/i]
“Jeez, I just started and I’m already creeped out...this’ll be a long adventure...”

[spoiler]Chain 5![/spoiler] Your flaming knife sticks in his forehead and he goes cross eyed to look at it. "Ow!" He stands, lifting his club above his head and bringing it down! (6)
-
(Nat 1!) [i]The club comes down and smashes my head. I black out for a couple seconds.[/i]
-
When you come to, you are in his grasp and he's lifting you to his mouth!
-
[i]I stab into his mouth with my sword![/i] (18)
-
You stab into the giants mouth and pierce his tongue! He moans and drops you, then starts stomping around while holding his mouth! (10 to avoid the feets!)
-
(12) [i]I roll to the side slashing at his feet whilst avoiding them.[/i] (8)
-
(1!) With that, the giant staggers forward and falls, succumbing to his wounds!
-
[i]I stand up and dust myself off. Then I look around for any clues on how to open the door.[/i]
-
Most of the camp lies in ruin, save a single large tent near the doors.
-
[i]I walk up to the tent and look inside.[/i]
-
It's pretty cozy, there's a lit fire in the center and a pile of furs for bedding off to the side of it. Across from there is a table and chair, with a few candles and papers scattered about. Also the standard witchy stuffs. A cauldron, mortar and pestle, a satchel of various dried plants, small effigies of bone and wood about, et cetera.

[spoiler]Chain 4. Also don't remember if I responded earlier and the website is being super buggy[/spoiler] As you pull your leg free, you hear a familiar series of clicking noises and dash to the end of the bridge!
-
[i]Once I get off the bridge I take my sword and attempt to cut the bridge.[/i]
-
The cut the first rope and the bridge tilts! Looking down, you see six pale eyes and long claws clutching beneath the bridge and hear a growl...then you cut the other rope and the bridge falls away, taking the Nightmare with it!

The storm begins to clear and up ahead you can see cobblestone walls and an old black iron gate. Beyond them, smoke rises and you can smell burning wood and cooked meat...
-
[i]I realize I’ve been walking for a while and am hungry, so I go up to the gate and look inside. [/i]
-
You see a courtyard with the ruins of a camp. Burning tents and charred bodies are scattered about. Beyond the camp lies the massive bodies of a demonic creature and two grotesque giants. A third giant sits among the wreckage, eating one of the charred humans. You can also see the mansion beyond! A three story structure, with towering gothic rooftops and spires, stained glass windows, and two great doors with glowing violet runes carved into them.
-
[i]I test to see if the gate is unlocked.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Ah, my bad, the gate doors are actually hanging wide open.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Oh lol that’s fine.[/spoiler] [i]I walk through the gate.[/i]
-
The giant seems too occupied with its meal to notice you. The demonic body appears to be disintegrating slowly.
-
I make my way, quietly, to the mansion. Making sure to stay out of sight of the giants.
-
Just the one, the others appear to be dead... As you creep past, you notice a lot of the same warriors from the previous camp among the bodies. Charred by the same blue flames consuming the demons body. The giants all seem to have similar wounds. Between the camp and the mansion is a large circular clearing centered around an old fountain. There are several totems evenly spaced around the edges with patterns of blood upon the snow connecting them to the fountain. Across this ritual circle, you see the mansion doors closed, with no obvious ways to open them, and a larger tent off to the side with effigies of wood and bone around it.
-
[i]I go up to the fountain to inspect it.[/i]
