You go deeper into the house. And the further you go, the weirder and more unfamiliar it seems.

You pass a stone doorway to the left, with mist rising from the floor.

Then you hear a creaking from the right, and you hurry on, heart pounding.

Straight on is the back door to the house. Perhaps in the garden you will be safe…

Panicking, you crash through, then vault a low wall. There is the sound of hooves, as if a rider is pursuing you.

Ahead you see a much larger house with great iron gates. Perhaps safety lies within…?

Do you…

  1. Hurry towards the gates of the mansion.
  2. Return to the ransacked house and take a look at those notes.
