THE PATHWAY

You begin your trek up towards The old Manor high on the hill. As you begin walking you can see what looks to be black birds flying about the manor. The sky is clear and warm as you leave the last of the buildings of the Boatyards behind you. The crest of the hill lie just ahead.

You make your way to the crest of the hill and pause for a moment as you look up the hill. As you study the way closer you notice that the pathway has long since grown over with brush and thorn shrubry. The very ground itself looks as if evil had been planted there. Still you begin up the hill cutting your way throught the brush and thorns as best you could.

A cold chill touches every part of your body and sends a nervousness through your very soul. You look up from the brush and the sky looks clouded over and dark. Wait you think for a moment. You had a few hours of daylight. It hasn't even been a quarter of an hour yet. How could this be the sky so dark.

You are much closer to the Manor and now you notice that the birds you saw were actually Bats Fluttering about wildly. The closer you get to the Manor the Darker it gets. A slight fog envelopes you and the surrounding area and the cold chill has turned to a slight fear within you. There are dim lights visable within some of the windows and you can make out movement inside them. People.

At this point you have 2 options once again.

Option #1: You can let fear overtake you and run back to town.
Option #2: You can continue on up to the Manor.
