text: "My name is Isabel." You keep reminding yourself of this fact as you desperately kick at the rotted wood in the damp, dark potato bin that has become your prison.
  
  "I'm alive." "Ruth is alive." "Ruth was never sold." I silently chant these things over and over in my head as though they give more energy to each kick.
  
  "If I don't get out of here, Madam will sell me," you silently scream in your head, kicking even more frantically.
  
  Suddenly, you hear a noise above you! You freeze. It could be Hannah coming back. Worse yet, it could be Madam back early from the Queen's Ball.
  
  > decide its Madam and stay frozen in place
  You barely breathe as you listen intently in the dark, the smell of potatoes filling your nostrils.
  
  After what seems an eternity, you are certain that no one is above you.
  
  You kick for all you are worth one last time. There is a quiet crack. You kick again and lean forward to feel the boards. You lean back, take a deep breath and then kick and kick again with all your might. You feel the boards give way and fly into the dark. You've made a hole just big enough to crawl through.

  > crawl through as fast as you can
  You take the stairs two at a time and pause to listen at the door before entering the kitchen. The house is still silent. You head down the hall and up the stairs to the drawing room where the Master met with all of the important men. You know there will be maps and one of those maps will lead you to Ruth.

  > pause just long enough to wrap some potatoes in the blanket Hannah gave you
  The house remains as silent as a graveyard. You slowly creep out of the hole you made. You stealthily sneak up the stairs and pause to listen at the door. More silence. You tiptoe through the door into the kitchen and come face-to face with Hannah.

  > start crying and begging her to just pretend she never saw you
  Hannah is stunned to see you have escaped. As you cry and beg her to pretend she never saw you, tears begin to roll down her face as well.
  
  Reluctantly, she agrees.
  
  You explain to her that you need to look at one of the master's maps before leaving so that you can find your way to Ruth. She allows you to go to the Master's drawing room but tells you that you are to take nothing. She also reminds you that f you get caught, you will be hung and she would do nothing to intervene.

  > bolt out of the back door hoping she cant catch you
  You rush out into the night and run down the street as fast as your legs will carry you. You don't stop, you don't look back, you just keep running for all you're worth.
  
  You think you hear something behind you, but that just makes your legs move faster. Down the street, turn left. At the church you turn right and head directly for the docks.
  
  You duck in between some buildings and find a stable. You dart into the stable and hide, trying to catch your breath. You wait anxiously for any sound of people coming after you.

  You wake up... you feel cramped. Your knees are pushed to your stomach and your head is hitting the ceiling. Panic begins to sink in. What do you do?

  > Yell
  You open your mouth to yell. As soon as you do so, however, your lungs are filled with an ungodly fluid which only accelerates your spiral into insanity.
  
  > Kick
  You kick out hard at the nearest wall. Owww! You lack the strength to break the shell and all you accomplish is bruising the bottom of your foot.
  
  > Stretch
  You stretch all your limbs outward. You feel the walls begin to break and finally it gives way. You look back at the egg that encased you. Congratulations! You have been born. You take in your surroundings. You see the rest of the eggs in the nest. The cave the nest is in a cave which has three entrances to the caverns surrounding the nest.
  
  > investigate the nest
  While walking around the other eggs in the nest, you hear a "thud" from inside one of the eggs.
  
  > ignore it
  You look down each hallway trying to discern something in the darkness. The floor of the tunnel on the left appears to descend into a lower level. The one on the right seems to have a slight incline. The middle tunnel has no gradient.
  
  > To the left
  You descend into the left hallway. The air thickens with humidity and it gets cold. As you turn a corner, you see a strange green creature with pointy ears brandishing a bronze spear.
  
  > anounce Your Arrival
  The strange creature jumps at your voice and yells for help. In an instant you are surrounded by ten of them. The one you figure to be the leader steps forward and says "You DARE enter the realm of the goblins?! This is our land!" As he finishes, he plunges his spear into your hide.
