Well, well, it seems another traveler has wandered into my home. The night is deep outside the cabin and the rain is relentless. But don't worry, I have an idea to pass the time! You like games, don't you? I have a special one just for you! If you can pass it, a reward awaits you. Lose, and you'll have to stay with me a bit longer than you planned.
