You surge for the gates, but find them locked. You climb. At the top, an iron spike rips through your pants and digs in.
“Arghh!!”
You half-climb, half-fall to the ground. Ahead, there is light. A stone mansion in moonlit gardens.
Behind, a cloaked horseback figure has reached the gate. A rotten-looking face; a gun in hand. You twist, pain flashing through your wounded leg, and run for the mansion doors.
Pushing inside just as a gunshot rings out behind, you find yourself grabbed by a muscular guard.
“Hey, this is the mansion of Lord Diabolus. Get the hell out.”
