"Ah, a baseball bat, I wonder if you chose it for some prior experience or did you feel pulled to it? No matter the reason I won't criticize any of your choices. I'll still get my fill of fun as you scramble about. Don't worry too much about the beginning. As long as you think you won't have to worry about too much. I'd still pay attention to what's going on however."
The figure waves his hand as the items left on the table start to pop away. The Skull locket in particular giving you a wink as it pops out of existence. The world starts flashing and streaks of light start appearing in the sky. The figure gives a small frown.
"Oh, I thought I had just a bit more time than that. I realize that I was incredibly rude. I never did get your name. What was it again?"
"It's _"
You jerk awake from your slumber from that eerie dream. Something you ate must have been past the sell by date. Nightmares about curses and sacrifices… And you are tied up to a fucking cross. FUCK. You shift against the ropes, which thankfully give way. They must not have tied you all that tightly. Now where in the world are you? You glance around the place to get your bearings.
To the left is an absurdly massive tree. Nothing should grow that large around here. Branches spear out towards the sky attempting to blot out the sun. It's completely bare of leaves, however it's not without decoration. What looks to be thousands of ropes hand down, some weighed down by bodies of unknown age and gender. This macabre display of horror turns your stomach to look at. You honestly think you should be going not that way but, something about it makes you want to check it out anyways. You'll call that part suicidal curiosity. After all something obviously is hanging them and you don't want to meet them anytime soon. Come hang from my branches and end your sorrow. Don't die for an unworthy cause.
Straight ahead of you is a path through a darkened grove. It's nowhere near as terrifying as what your mind is labeling the Hangman's tree. After all you have a bat… Where is the fucking bat. You were promised a bat. You can't believe the annoying little prick is already reneging on his end of the deal. You can't bel~
You get hit in the back of the head by a flying bat and face plant next to a shiny mirror. That was dirty. However you do have the bat now. You give it a few swings and wonder about how comfortable it is.
Behind you looks to the be the way out. However the glowing seal actively discourages you from heading that way. You take a second to memorize what it looks like. It's got several sections surrounding what looks to be the important part. Or maybe protecting would be a good word? The symbols on the seals are actively covering each other, so you aren't really sure what they actually are. However one of them seems to be on top enough that it looks like a spider? A bug of some sort obviously but beyond that? You have no clue. It's not like you know enough to bash your head against it till you figure it out.
All you can see to the right is just empty space and a wall.
So which way do you head off towards?
