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.”

You decide to…

  1. Convince the guard that you are a guest of Lord Diabolus (click here).
  2. Try to push past the guard and run inside (click here).
  3. Go back to face the gunman
