SoI Episode 1

Steve and the Quest for the Scone of Immortality
Episode 1 - What the f**k is that smell?

Steve swallows hard as he takes his first steps into the Caves of Inevitable Doom. His right hand shakes nervously making the torchlight dance along the greyish-blue stone lining the entrance. Cautiously, Steve paces through the cave's opening and finds himself in a large open room.

From all the broken pillars and debris strewn about, Steve could see the cave was ancient. Perhaps the rumors were true, he thought to himself. Some townspeople claimed that the cave was once inhabited by the Ancient Dragonbears, a mystical and curious race that ruled over Mayduppia in eons past. There were some that even believed they still existed in hiding...

All of those concerns were pushed to the back of Steve's mind as an overwhelming stench filled his nostrils. Since Steve once was a catapult operator, he knew the smell of death and flaming dung well, and this pungent malfeasance was ten times worse than any excrement he'd launched upon unsuspecting heathens. This was an organic, angry stench that tugged at his consciousness.

Steve thought for a moment about retreating then thought of the Scone and what it's flaky center could mean for his family...and the world. He hastily looked for passageways and saw that to his left a trail of bones led downward. Ahead of him were two holes in the rock wall, one smaller than the other. He figured he could fit through both, though the smaller of the two would be a tight squeeze.

With great courage, Steve covers his mouth and:
1. Takes the passage to the left
2. Enters the larger of the two holes
3. Enters the smaller of the two holes
