Unfortunately, the Forest of Damnation is a dangerous place for the unprepared. After merely an hour, she had already died six times and stubbed her toe.
But soon, she reached the heart of the forest, where a colony of massive, 20-foot-tall spiders hunted for prey.

She began to fight with all her might, and when she felt weak and needed to regain her energy, she found a mushroom and ate it. Instantly she felt rejuvenated and her body began to glow. Energized, she was now capable of great jumps and strength as she acrobatically began cutting down the spiders one by one.

Unfortunately, she was actually tripping on a mix of the hallucinogenic mushroom she ate and spider venom, so she was completely unable to resist as the spiders trapped her in their web.
It seemed like the end for our drugged-out, catatonic hero, but was it?

That was when, she saw it- a golden light shining into the forest, and began making its way towards the monsters. One by one, every spider that was cut down that made contact with that light, before the light came towards our hero... who was broken free from the web.
"I hereby give you the blessing of true poison and venom resistance so that you may continue your quest" the voice said before the light subsided.
"Oh... neat" our hero said before looking over the field. "Guess I should keep going this way" our hero said as she kept heading towards her endpoint

As she walked, she came to a river in the middle of the woods. It was too wide and the current too strong to swim across. There didn't seem to be any bridges in sight.

She began thinking about how she could cross the bridge. Then, she saw a thick vine hanging from a tree. She had an idea.
She began running and started swinging from the vine. Confident that she could get across, she prepared herself for the run that would get her across.
She ran and began swinging, waiting for just the right moment to release

She timed it just right, released her grip, and landed on the other side, somewhat bruised from the impact but okay.
Unfortunately, as she swung, something fell into the river from her supplies. Something crucial. It was...

The poison antidote the light being had hooked up to her veins. Instantly she began to feel faint.

She held on for dear life and thankfully was able to stagger onto the bank of the river before passing out face-first in the dirt.
When she awoke, she immediately knew that something was amiss.

Tied to a chair and surrounded by a number of tall figures, she began to tremble, and in a panic asked... "You're... you're not going to do those things to me, are you?" She asked nervously.
"HELL NO!" The group said together. "This isn't that kind of story; we be villains but we aren't monsters" one of them said.
She sighed in relief, but then became frustrated. "Enough! I was hoping I'd never have to use this power I've had since I was a kid, but you give me no choice" our hero said in frustration.
Then in that moment, a black square with white text appeared in front of her face, and she began to select some options.
"Load... load from last checkpoint... yes" she said as everything began to go black around here.
"Hey! What's going on!" One of the people said in confusion.
"Goodbye unimportant villains... we will never meet again" She smirked as everything went pitch black
......
When everything brightened, she was unrestrained, back in the forest of damnation, at the point right before she was going to cross the river.
"I never thought I would have to use the power of the "Deus Ex Machina screen" but it seems going forward with this quest I will have no choice" she lamented before thinking back to a smarter way to cross the river.
Then she saw the stone bridge in the distance and slapped herself in the forehead

Far, far away, in a secret lab, a man and a woman were doing scans.
"Definitely some sort of temporal anomaly. It's as if the last post few posts never happened."
"Fascinating." The woman tapped her pen against her brow. "Kraf, do you think it's the chosen one?"
"It would have to be," Kraf Vonderishe said. "No one else would have the power to perform such a blatant deus ex machina."
"Let's send out the cliched bounty hunter to find this "chosen one", then," the woman said. "If we can harness this power... we'll be unstoppable."
Meanwhile, our hero was crossing the bridge. She stopped to admire the view of the river below her.

How was it that the water could be so clean and safe, in a forest of such darkness and terror, it was as if the water was the only thing she could recognize in this terrible place.
after a number of days, she finally emerged from the forest of damnation, and reached the Plains of Teragog.
"All I have to do to conquer the Plains, is:
-kill each of the 4 Great Beasts; of the North, South, East and West -Conquer the 10 towers of the plains and light the beacons to signal my control -Collect the 40 crystals of Shmergaronga
"Now, the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, so..." our hero said as she stepped forward... and happened to find the first crystal by a tree trunk.
"Let my conquest begin!" She declared as she collected the crystal

GREAT BEASTS SLAIN: 0/4 TOWNS COUNQUERED: 0/10 TOWN BEACONS LIT: 0/10 SHMERGARONGA CRYSTALS COLLECTED: 1/40 OVERALL PLAINS OF TERAGOG PROGRESS: 1/64 OBJECTIVES COMPLETE
Our heroine decided to head north towards the Great Northed Beast's lair, and hopefully find some towns and crystals along the way.
Before long, she found a small town by a river in a beautiful valley, surrounded by miles of cornfields: the village of Shmoopdrepop

"This is the first of the towns I must conquer; but that is such a vague goal I cannot understand what that means I must do..." she thought to herself. Just then, she realized as she came to town that the overall feeling in the town was one of doom and gloom; nobody appeared to be happy. Just then, she saw 3 armored men intimidating and beating up innocent villagers, prompting her to take action and save them!
Well, the men in the intimidating armor didn't like this and drew their weapons to kill her; only to be slain themselves in a matter of minutes.
"Oh thank you brave hero! Perhaps you are the one meant to save us from the Evil Lord Fendrinaba!" the villager said in delight.
"That sounds important" she said to herself; then as she walked off and found herself alone, her screen briefly popped up and revealed a "3/20 garrison troops slain" and that was when she realized "so that is how I will conquer, and simultaneously liberate, this town" She said in realization. She then ran off to plan her next move, only to trip on some debris. Frustrated, she looked at where she fell, only to realize, "Wow! my second crystal!" She said in delight as she picked it up and moved on to her next plan

Unfortunately, blocking her way, were two more garrison guards. They grabbed their weapons, and our heroine tried to do the same, but was amazed when they did not lunge at her. Instead, they started moving to some sort of beat that she couldn't hear.
One of the guards began to... speak?
"Yo, yo, my name is Joe, happy to meet yo. Step up to the mic and I'll happily beat yo. You killed my friends, that's not very nice. Girls today are no sugar, all spice."
Then the other guard chimed in.
"We are garrison guards, brave and true. You look like you climbed out a shoe. But tell me, Joe, what's that I see? Never mind, hold on, I gotta go pee..."
A rap battle? thought the heroine. Oh this should be easy as hell.

Her eloquence shocked the guards who used combined clever rhymes and wordplay to rap out 3 cleverly constructed versus that took them off guard. They could not believe how on point her beat was, and they fainted from the shock of her performance.
"5/20 garrison troops slain" appeared before her before she decided to go after the garrison itself. Observing the layout, she had an idea.
"I'll set their garbage pile on fire to distract them, then while they are busy trying to douse the flames I'll sneak around to the other side and let the horses out of the stable causing some of them to be distracted getting them back to the stable, while they are scattered I'll pick them off one by one from a distance with my bow and arrows that I totally do have and just happened to not use until now. Finally, once down to a manageable number I'll go in and use my sword to finish them off" she finished.
......
The Garrison troops were frantically trying to fire out and get their horses under control as she began firing her arrows
6/20
7/20
8/20
