Reforge

Sprint forward as fast as you can and bash whatever obstacles out of your way with wild abandon

You take off running with the wildest abandon you can muster, ready to smash aside anything in your path! This turns out to be pointless, because there’s not a single thing in your way, not even more floor.


You fall head over heels into whatever the echoey space is. But not for long-


Because something smashes into your chest.


Then some more somethings break your fall the rest of the way down.


You can't believe this. Betrayed again by your beloved wild abandon, abandoning you when you need it most.

You are now lying in some… mud? Sure.


You start to stand up to deal with being hurt and in the dark but more hurt and lower down. Then you think maybe you can scratch that dark part, because you can see a faint green light.

Wait, shit, is that the skull? You recognize that glow you think. You know, you’d been using that thing’s weirdness quite a bit earlier. Now that it’s an option to just pretend you never saw it, though, you find yourself not so eager to take it back. You're no expert in 'things mere mortals were not meant to tamper in' but you think it qualifies and frankly you'd been avoiding thinking hard about it. It was pretty freaky and way more existential than you prefer to be, which is none amount existential! You think using it broke some, uh, abstractions?

The skull might be useful simply as a spooky lantern, but is dealing with the weirdness worth it?
