In the time of wizards and warriors, of magic and demons, there were adventurers. Some fought great battles, with gods, devils, and demons alike. It was a time for any and all to wage battle on mystical creatures of legend... but some went too far.
[[Continue->Introduction]]You have been wandering around a grassland for several hours, and can't remember how you got here. It is now night. You see the lanterns of a small town in the distance and approach. You walk toward the closest building on the outskirts of the village.
"ADVENTURERS! WE NEED YOU!"
You read on a poster outside a door of a tavern. The noise from inside is blaring as the lively villagers inside party with their music and ale.
How do you wish to proceed?
[[Enter the tavern->Tavern]]
[[Rip the poster off the door and keep walking->Into Town]]
[[Head back into the wilderness->Into Wild]]As you enter, you see the townspeople having a jolly time. Someone sees you enter and shouts "HOWDY STRANGER!"
Another person comes up to you and hugs you, then hands you a large pitcher of ale.
"Enjoy the festivities, we've just received the news."
[[Ask "what news?"->The News]]
[[Thank them for the ale and join the party->Party]]
[[Refuse the drink and leave->Back Outside]]You walk around the streets. There are some drunks passed out along the walls of the buildings and even in the middle of some of the streets. There are signs that a massive party occurred earlier in the night.
As you arrive at the town center, you see a gorgeous fountain with water that glistens in the moonlight.
[[Sit by the fountain]]
[[Explore More]]You wander around some more and eventually find yourself lost in the wilderness. You do manage to see in the far off distance what appears to be a human figure lying in the grass.
[[Approach the figure->Body in Wilderness]]
[[Try to find way back to the town->Outside Town]]The villager is a bit confused and gathers that you are not from around the area. They inform you of how the adventurers group called "Dragon's Bane" managed to slay the tyrannical dragonborn, Feudal Lord Draco.
You ask about Lord Draco and learn that he taxed the communities of the land heavily and sent many soldiers to their death in an attempt to "keep the darkness sealed" as he put it.
Suddenly, there is a loud scream from outside. So loud that it is heard over the blaring music from the band, and causes the party to come to an immediate hault.
[[Go outside to the source of the scream->After the Scream]]
[[Stay in the tavern->In Tavern After Scream]] You begin to dance and drink with the townsfolk. As you do so you hear slight mentions and gossip of someone named Drako, and something about his tyranny being slain with him.
After a few minutes of partying with the villagers there is a loud scream from outside. So loud that it is heard over the blaring music from the band, and causes the party to come to an immediate hault.
[[Run Outside->After the Scream]]
[[Stay in the Tavern->In Tavern After Scream]]You take a moment to look around. The streets of the town are covered in broken glass, wood, drinks, and passed out drunk people. There was clearly a large party here earlier in the night.
Suddenly, a loud scream comes from the center of town.
[[Run toward the scream->After the Scream]]
[[Ignore the scream]] You and several other townsfolk head to the town center, where the scream came from. There is a dead body laying in a small pool of blood. Suddenly, the streets are overrun with pale humans (Vampires) as they come rushing at you and the townsfolk from the alleys.
[[Run with Crowd]]
[[Just Stand There]]Several villagers exit the tavern to go investigate the scream. Those who stay murmur amongst themselves in concern and confusion. A few moments later, one of the men comes stumbling back in. He holds his neck as blood leaks from it, and coughs up blood. He collapses on the floor, and everyone in the bar begins to scream and panic.
Suddenly, several pale human figures kick open the door and march in. One yells out "It's feeding time!" The figures begin to grab the townspeople and bite into their necks.
[[Try to hide->Hide From Vampires]]
[[Try to run outside->Try to Run Outside]]As you aaproach you notice that the figure does not move. It is a lifeless body laying in a small pool of its own blood. Then, you hear rustling in the grass behind you.
