Segment 9, Clue 1

You open your eyes, waking up in what seems to be the middle of a forest. You're not sure how you got here, but this land appears unfamiliar to you. You notice you have a backpack full of supplies, as well as clothes with many pockets. You're struggling to decide what to do. [[Check your backpack]] [[Check your clothes pockets]] [[Assess the area]]

You look inside the three large sections of your backpack and find some bandages, a few sandwiches, a water bottle, and methamphetamines. You're not sure why you have the methamphetamines. You feel no hunger, and the sandwiches look unappetizing. [[Check your clothes pockets]] [[Assess the area]] [[Drink some water]] [[Do meth]]

You begin to search your clothes pockets for anything of use. You find a piece of paper that states, "1 - y" on it. [[Check your backpack]] [[Assess the area]]

You look around and see there's no particularly noteworthy features around you. It's a lot of trees. Many wide, many tall. You may want to make sure you've checked everything before continuing forward. [[Check your backpack]] [[Check your clothes pockets]] [[Go right]] [[Go left]] [[Go forward]] [[Go backwards->Go back]]

You drank some of your water. It felt refreshing. [[Check your clothes pockets]] [[Assess the area]]

Your heartbeat begins to accelerate very fast. It's like nothing you've ever experienced before. You feel sick. You slowly become incapable of properly doing anything. [[Check your clothes pockets...?]] [[Assess the area...?]]

You continue forward and spot a small cozy-looking cabin in the distance. You think you could walk there easily. [[Approach the cabin]] [[Continue forward and ignore it->Continue forward#2]]

You continue left and see a strange-looking cluster of trees with what appears to be some kind of entrance inside it. [[Go through]] [[Go back to the starting area and assess again->Assess the area]]

As you continue backwards from where you woke up, you spot a small seemingly modern building, and a piece of paper by it. The piece of paper intrigues you. [[Pick up the piece of paper -> Pick up paper backwards #1]]

As you continue rightward, you see a large cobblestone shrine. It features a statue of a person praying. Near the shrine, you see a paper which reads, "13-17 - jobno". [[Pray at the shrine for a second chance at things]] [[Pray at the shrine for money]] [[Continue down the path]]

As you approach the cabin, you're able to see inside from a window. The inside appears innocuous, uninteresting, and empty. It's paired with a rustic-looking door. [[Ignore and go on->Continue forward#2]] [[Try to open the door and go inside]]

You continue forward still, ignoring and passing the cabin to your left. You find yet another paper note on the ground. It reads, "13-17 - jobno". [[Continue forward->Continue Forward #3]]

You feel some sense of guilt entering a home without being let in. You spot a couch, many logs, a fireplace, and hallways leading into other areas of the house. You also see a piece of paper on a bench. [[Sit on the couch]] [[Go into the hallways]] [[Pick up the piece of paper]]

It's a comfortable couch. Though the cabin feels old, the couch seems new. Someone has been here - and recently. [[Go into the hallways]] [[Pick up the piece of paper]]

After venturing the halls of the cabin, you find nothing of interest or use. [[Sit on the couch]] [[Pick up the piece of paper]]

You inspect the lone piece of paper. It reads, "13-17 - jobno". [[Exit the house and continue->Continue Forward #3]]

As you continue forward, you meet what appears to be the entrance to some underground chamber. Yet as you look around to inspect the area again, there is suddenly no other open path to continue through. [[Go through into the chamber...?]]

You enter the chamber. It looks like the entrance to a dungeon. Chills go down your spine, yet you know and feel there is no other way forward. You note a few potential traps. Through three potential paths, two possible pressure plates are visible. You think you could jump over them. but maybe it's not worth the risk. On a small table you spot a piece of paper. It says, "16-21 - owpres". [[Go through path #1 - potentially has a pressure plate]] [[Go through path #2]] [[Go through path #3 - potentially has a pressure plate]]

As you enter through the strange cluster of trees, you find yourself in what is seemingly a large, overgrown grotto. In the center is a fountain. Many coins lay near the center of the fountain, in its shallow waters. You spot a piece of paper on the side of the fountain. [[Pick up the piece of paper->Pick up the piece of paper left #2]]

You inspect the lone piece of paper. It reads, "13-17 - jobno". You see another possible path on the opposite side of the grotto. [[Go through the opposite path->Continue (near chamber entrance)]] [[Return->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

As you walk through the path, you meet what appears to be the entrance to some underground chamber. Yet as you look around to inspect the area again, there is suddenly no other open path to continue through. [[Go through into the chamber...?]]

You inspect the lone piece of paper. It reads, "13-17 - jobno". The building stands tall, yet inviting. Where a door should be there is nothing.. Should you go inside...? [[Go inside the building]] [[Continue and ignore the building->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You went inside the building. Unlike the outside, the building's inside is wrecked and wretched. You'd have to hop over various half-broken materials to go anywhere. There is a stairway and a hallway you could travel through. [[Try to explore the building]] [[Exit]]

While hopping around trying to make it to a stairway, you trip and minorly injure yourself. You get up quickly, but you're noticably not feeling perfect. [[Go up the stairs]] [[Go through the hallway]]

You exit the building. You feel like something is wrong. [[Go back inside the building->Go inside the building]] [[Continue->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You venture up the stairs and find many office cubicles in bad condition. You hear croaking noises, along with the sound of a keyboard, but the source isn't immediately visible. You think this is the top floor. [[Go back down]] [[Search for the source of the noise]]

You go through the hallway and find nothing. [[Leave->Leave2]] [[Go upstairs->Go up the stairs]]

You head back downstairs. [[Go through the hallway]] [[Leave->Leave2]]

You search around the ruined office workplace for the source of the repetitive croak, and find an abnormally large frog sitting near a desk. It's somehow operating a keyboard and mouse. This appears to be the one functional device in the area. The frog introduces itself. "Good afternoon. I'm Geremy.. And what exactly are you doing here?" [["I'm lost"]] [["I was just leaving"]]

You try to explain to the frog that you woke up nearby and don't know where you are. It seems to understand yet says nothing. [["Can you help me out here?"]] [[Leave]]

You respond and quickly try to exit the premises, scared of what other abnormalities might lie inside that building. You successfully make it out. [[Continue down the path->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You ask the frog for help. "I don't know how to help you here, sir, as I'm only a mere office worker. I don't get paid enough for this. I stay inside this room continuously, 24/7, and am not allowed to leave." [[Question the frog]] [[Leave]]

You quickly walk away from the frog and exit the building, this time being extra careful to avoid tripping again. [[Continue down the path ->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You question the frog about its situation but it stops responding. [[Leave]]

You pray for a second opportunity to redo your choices. The statue comes to life and answers. "Your wish has been granted." [[Gain a second chance->Familiar Start]]

As you begin to pray, the statue comes to life and answers your prayer. "You have too much greed in your heart and shall pay the price for your desires. Will you accept your punishment now or delay it?" [[Accept now->Familiar Start]] [[Delay it]]

You decide to delay your punishment and continue as if nothing happened. [[Continue->Continue down the path]]

You continue down the path. There isn't much interesting. The trees here seem taller than the ones you've seen earlier. [[Continue walking->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You walk away and exit the building, this time being extra careful to avoid tripping again. [[Continue down the path ->Continue (near chamber entrance)]]

You open your eyes, waking up in what seems to be the middle of a forest. You're not sure how you got here, but this land appears familiar to you. You notice you have a backpack full of supplies, as well as clothes with many pockets. You're struggling to decide what to do. [[Check your backpack]] [[Check your clothes pockets]] [[Assess the area]]

You went through the second path. On the other side, you spotted a tiny piece of paper, as well as a couple old-looking bottles of wine and skulls on the ground. The piece of paper reads, "22-23 - se". You spot a couple paths forward. [[Take the left path->Take the left path from #2]] [[Take the right path->Take the right path from #2]]

You went through the third path and jumped over what looked like a pressure plate. On the other side, you spotted a tiny piece of paper, as well as some wheels of cheese. The piece of paper reads, "22-23 - se". You spot a couple paths forward. [[Take the left path->Take the left path from #3]] [[Take the right path->Take the right path from #3]]

You went through the first path, jumping over what looked like a pressure plate. On the other side, you spotted a tiny piece of paper, as well as some old pieces of armor that look too heavy for you. The piece of paper reads, "22-23 - se". You spot a couple paths forward. [[Take the left path->Take the left path from #1]] [[Take the right path->Take the right path from #1]]

Taking the right path, you find yourself in a large room. It feels like the end of your journey. It's a grand room with multiple chandeliers. Many bones lie around you. You see a couple different tables that possibly have something you're looking for. [[Inspect the first table]] [[Inspect the second table]] [[Inspect the third table]] [[Inspect the fourth table]]

Taking the left path, you find yourself in a large room. It feels like the end of your journey. It's a grand room with multiple chandeliers. Many bones lie around you. You see a couple different tables that possibly have something you're looking for. [[Inspect the first table]] [[Inspect the second table]] [[Inspect the third table]] [[Inspect the fourth table]]

You go to the first table and spot two notes and a purple necklace. The first note says, "25 - t". The second note says, "If needed, there is one last clue for you to find on your own. However, you have all you need." The purple necklace looks too tight to safely put around your neck, but you can tell it's well crafted. [[Inspect the second table]] [[Inspect the third table]] [[Inspect the fourth table]]

You walk up to the second table and examine it. On it lies a piece of paper which reads, "24 - n". It also has an unappealing slice of cheese that looks to be hundreds of years old. [[Inspect the first table]] [[Inspect the third table]] [[Inspect the fourth table]]

You travel to the third table. On it, there is a sheet of paper and the skull of a rodent. The paper states, "27 - r". [[Inspect the first table]] [[Inspect the second table]] [[Inspect the fourth table]]
