As a leader of our kingdom, I entrust you with the important task of choosing a location for our medieval villagers. I urge you to consider the well-being and safety of our people, as well as the long-term prosperity of our kingdom. It is essential to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each potential location, taking into account factors such as access to resources, access to food, climate, and proximity to trade routes. I have faith in your ability to make the best decision for our people and our kingdom, and I look forward to hearing your recommendations. [[Accept this Responsibility ->Locations]]

(Introduce the Locations) [[Settle the Mountains ->Mountains Intro]]

The mountain stands tall and proud, its rocky face jutting high into the sky. For generations, it had been known as a place of great abundance, rich in minerals, ores, and precious gems. But despite the abundance of resources, no village had ever succeeded in taking root within its rugged terrain. The mountain remained a place of great mystery and intrigue, with tales of lost treasures and ancient civilizations buried deep within its cavernous depths. But for all its riches and secrets, the mountain remained an enigma, unclaimed and unconquered by any who dared to try.

In the dead of night, the Balrog descended upon the village with fiery wrath. Its monstrous wings spanned the entire sky, casting a dark shadow over the terrified villagers. The creature's eyes glowed with an otherworldly flame as it rampaged through the streets, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The villagers, frozen in fear, watched in horror as the Balrog wrought havoc upon their once serene home. [[Game Over->Start]]

The mines are empty, but we see light further down. [[Search Deeper->Balrog Chambers]]

The hunter's tracks led back to the Bear cave. The cave leads further into the mountain . . . [[Search Deeper->Balrog Chambers]]

After hours of searching the village guards have stumbled upon a mysterious stone crypt deep beneath the mountain. As they explored the dark and musty tunnels, they discovered that the walls were adorned with glittering gemstones of every color, and it became clear that a Balrog had taken up residence within this ancient chamber. With weapons at the ready, the guards braced themselves for the worst as they cautiously approached the creature's lair. [[Engage the demon->Attack]] [[This foe is beyond our strength->Collapse]]

The Balrog emerged from the shadows with a deafening roar, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly flame. The guards, weapons at the ready, charged forward to face the creature. But it was all in vain. With a flick of its fiery whip, the Balrog knocked them across the chamber. The guards struggled to their feet, only to find themselves hopelessly outmatched by the ancient demon. One by one, they fell before the creature's might. In a matter of minutes, the Balrog had defeated the guards with terrifying ease, leaving nothing but destruction and despair in its wake. [[What about the village?->Suprise Attack]]

They quickly realized that their weapons and bravery would be no match for the ancient demon's terrifying power. In a desperate move, the guards decided to collapse the cave onto the crypt instead of confronting the Balrog head-on. Using their weapons, they began to hack away at the supporting pillars, causing the entire chamber to shake and rumble. The Balrog, sensing the danger, let out a deafening roar as it charged towards the guards. But it was too late. The cave collapsed in on itself, burying the crypt and the Balrog beneath tons of rubble and earth. The guards breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that they had succeeded in banishing the creature.
