Run past the door
From Reddit Choose Your Own Adventure
Distraught, you find your self lunging past the door, into the wall covered in filth. The creature charges towards you in a fit of immense force. The door frame was too narrow for the abomination to fit through, perhaps it was designed that way. His arm grasps your torso and pulls you to slam sideways against the doors frame. He sniffs you, and with a booming voice yells "Klej' Haldak' Hass Rafiaal".
Slightly plunging his blade into your side, he repeats this message.This is it, you think to yourself... "I've just begun my journey in this strange land to be killed so damn quickly".
You say this without thinking, and immediately regret it, as at this he plunges the blade even deeper in your side.
You flinch with an excruciating amount of pain.
Futility, you beat him with your fists...But as you do, you realize the contraption he is wearing is more than it appeared before. When you hit him in certain spots, you hear a click and the movement of what feels like several large push buttons. the contraption appears to be covered with several of these buttons adorned with runic inscriptions of a language you can only assume has been long forgotten. He is still grasping you, waiting...For something.
And as you think he repeats his message a final time "Klej' Haldak' Hass Rafiaal" And as you try to intemperate the message you hear something else. A voice, softly speaking in your head repeating the message "Klej' Haldak' Hass Rafiaal". And as this goes on, it changes.."Free Haldak' Hass Rafiaal"...."Free me Hass Rafiaal"...."Free me you Rafiaal"........"Free me you fool." What?! , you think to yourself, realizing that maybe you learned this same language many years ago. A little bit of your mind may still remain from those lost years....the thought comforts you briefly.
The Runic texts on the machine change as well, turning into English characters and numbers. You grasp the creatures neck, and enter the statement" Free me you fool." using the shattered, fragmented buttons.
He Collapses, and you fall with him, slipping the blade out of you.
And the voice returns : "Good job traveler, your journey has just begun". As the voice trails off, you finally recall the familiartiy of the voice,
it was your father.
You see a large door, the likes of which would recure quite some force to remove
A quaint set of stairs stands adjacent to you, I wonder where it goes.....
