I'll head north through the mountain pass

(Left is north.)

You turn left, traveling north through the windy path of trees and tall grass, until you trip on something. Falling into the mud, you shake yourself off. Do you want to check out what tripped you, or go to the lake to wash yourself off?

Oh, you must be very brave to be traveling so far. You are the second traveler I have met! You know, you remind me of my father. He went on an expedition a while back, and I havent seen him since.

Adurna pauses for a moment, looking a bit down.

Hey, that gives me an idea! If you see my father on your trip, tell him that I said hi and hat I miss him, okay? Thanks!

You tell Adurna that you should probably get going now, and she says goodbye.

Wait, one more thing! Here is a thanks for visiting me. I dont get a lot of company around here.

You have earned three KP.

Do you want to go back the way you came, or continue south?

You climb north. up the mountain. Soon, the air gets thinner, and your walk is more tiring. You remember how long youve gone without water. You lose one Health Point!

As you reach a high point in the pass, the pathway levels out. You can see everything form here! You can also see that the path goes two ways around the peak of the mountain. Do you go right or left?

I'll go right around the peak

I check out what tripped me.

Continue south

You go to the right, and before long, you see a little house up nestled in the peak. Do you want to head up to it?

You pick yourself back up again, studying what tripped you. As you pull it out of the mud, you see it is an artifact! Congratulations! It seems to be carved in the shape of a tiger.

Stuffing it into your bag, do you want to go north or south?

You continue south through the forest for a long way until the castle comes into view. Entering the plus-shape hallway through the castle, you are open to all four corners of the kingdom. Which direction do you go?
