You are with a group- together makes you four. You were personally here to question the mansion owner up north, but now question the decision, as wild animals of many different disfigurements have attempted to attack you and your cohorts.[paragraph break][italic type][quotation mark]We're gonna have to go back [player's forename].[quotation mark][roman type] - says Daniel in disparity.[paragraph break]You and Artur look down to the body, now in a dug-up pit; you carry the shovel, but now you wish you had carried a powered gun. You stare at the body, as Artur turns quarterly to Daniel, speaking in his highly Russian accent: [italic type][quotation mark]Now, how did you get us into this mess, Daniel?[quotation mark][roman type][paragraph break][italic type][quotation mark]I barely had a plan to doing this; I mean all I did was drive here, with all of you! Blame it on [player's forename] for this.[quotation mark][roman type] He starts to walk away from the group, sticking the head of his shovel in the ground every right step."; To say Northern Swamp description: say "You and the gang, now moving farther north into the swamp: [italic type][quotation mark]Just watch for anything![quotation mark][roman type], Daniel whispers.[paragraph break]You keep to your own shovel; the shovels you found in the pit already dug, but it now makes you wonder why. The lightning comes down once more beyond and behind the tree line to the east; you can tell from here, the treelines are heavy on both sides of the east and the west. It starts to trickle rain: [italic type][quotation mark]Damn![quotation mark][roman type], Daniel says out loud.[paragraph break][italic type][quotation mark]We have to keep pushing through![quotation mark][roman type], Artur says."; now the command prompt is "You must keep pushing northward! > ".

To say Quarter Mile from Mansion description: now Daniel is in Quarter Mile from Mansion; now Artur is in Quarter Mile from Mansion; now Mary is in Quarter Mile from Mansion; say "The grass within the front of the mansion is nearly dead, yet it ironically is pouring rain at the moment, making the ground muddy. A pair of heavy metal gates, that are opened reside at two stone pillars of grey; you and the group proceed through them.[paragraph break][italic type][quotation mark]My leg is not doing good; we need to lay down for a moment.[quotation mark][roman type], says Artur, in slight pain. You glance at the leg; as you do, the leg covers itself with drowning blood. Daniel dampers the leg with his shirt, allowing the bleeding to stop: [italic type][quotation mark][apostrophe]Must of been something![quotation mark] [quotation mark]I don't think I'll be able to walk- too much pain.[quotation mark][roman type]" To say Mansion Front description: now Daniel is in Mansion Front; now Artur is in Mansion Front; now Mary is in Mansion Front; say "Nearly tired out from exhaustion and dehydration, you finally meet face to face with a large scale grey and black mansion- its stone turns white when the lightning drops.[paragraph break][italic type][quotation mark]Let's try knocking the door.[quotation mark][roman type] - Mary.[paragraph break]You and Daniel lay down Artur within the porch and under the porch roof, allowing the rain to run past the top- Artur squirms outside of a short yelp. You look again at the covered leg: [italic type][quotation mark]Your leg is purple now.[quotation mark][roman type], Mary says to Artur. [italic type][quotation mark]We might have to do our own operation on him, if it comes down to it.[quotation mark][roman type], Daniel states." A disfigured wolf is an animal.
