Piggy's Day/Debtors

From Create Your Own Story

The marine whispers:

Marine: "Debtors."

Captain: "...debtors."

Voice: "Alright, you're good. Come in."

You enter, and see an old lady sitting in a rocking chair in a fully furnished little house.

Captain: "Hello, we are mortals who are lost, and trying to get back to the overworld. Who are you?"

Old lady: "I'm also a mortal. When I was a girl, I fell into a sinkhole, and ended up in Helt. Ever since I've been evading Satan."

Piggy: "We've found a way up, but we're lost in this cave system, and we need to get to the chasm of giant skeletons."

Old Lady: "Really? I can take you there, if you so wish."

Captain: "Don't you want to come with us?"

Old Lady: "Eh, not really. By the time I'd have things set up for myself up there, I'd already die and have to come back here, and by the time I'd settle back down here, I'd have to go to heaven. I'd rather just leave the middleman out."

You are instructed to go back to the intersection you got lost on, and dig out the correct tunnel from between the two incorrect ones.

Piggy: "Thanks. Hey, have you got any food on you?"

The old lady gives you flasks of water, and cans of meat stew. You dare not ask what meat is used for the stew, and leave. As you get to the intersection, you find that the correct tunnel really had been buried. You venture forward, into the chasm of giant skeletons. Here, the walls of an enourmous chasm are lined with decaying corpses of giant demons. This is considered an honorary position for a demon. Decomposition is very, very slow in Hell, but the smell of rotten flesh is overpowering, at least for you.

Piggy: "You guys don't smell that? It's hideous!"

Marine: "No."

Captain: "Nothing."

You'd stick your fingers up your nose if you had fingers. Being a mutant, you don't even have hooves, but you do have the usual, enhanced smell of a pig. The three of you stop to eat for a while. You aren't absolutely sure, but you have a feeling that these giant corpses are the sources of your meat stew. As you prepare to move on, one of the skeletons up ahead collapses, most likely due to vandals. You journey ahead to inspect the fallen demon skeleton.

Captain: "We could just climb over it."

Marine: "OR - we could try the easy way and jam ourselves through the bones."
