The Chase

They are coming, They are right behind you. You run into the building and one of Them appears at the end of the hall. You know the other one is following behind you. Barging through a nearby door, you enter a stairwell. [[Go up]] [[Go down]] (set: $Health to 2)

Racing up the stairs, you come upon two doors. The door on the left has a window, through which you can see the second story hall. The door to your right has no window or markings. [[Take the door on the left]] [[Take the door on the right]]

Going down, you enter a basement area arranged like a lounge of sorts. To your right is a door marked "Prop Room" and directly ahead of you is a door to another stairwell. [[Go to the other stairwell]] [[Go to the Prop Room]]

You open the door and enter the main part of the second floor. In front of you is the main hallway with one door at the end of the hall. Branching to your right is another hallway. [[Door at the end of the hall]] [[Go to the other hallway]]

You pull at the door handle. It doesn't budge. Turning around, one of your pursuers is reaching the top of the stairs. They pull a knife out and prepare to stab you. [[Punch them]] [[Kick them in the balls]]

Inside the Prop Room, full of costumes and sets, two things catch your attention: a blunt, stage combat sword and heavy curtains, easy to hide behind. [[Pick up the sword]] [[Hide behind the curtains]]

Racing to the end of the hall, you try the door. It's locked. Turning around you find one of Them approaching you, knife drawn. [[block the knife]] [[run past them]]

You swing a right hook at your pursuer's ski-mask covered face. They duck and you suddenly feel a sharp pain in your chest. The world goes dark. You died.

Your pursuer doubled over in pain and you run toward the door leading to the second floor hall. As you charge past the pursuer, They swipe at you with the knife and it grazes your side, leaving a shallow gash. You open the door and enter the main part of the second floor. In front of you is the main hallway with one door at the end of the hall. Branching to your right is a another hallway. [[Door at the end of the hall]] [[Go to the other hallway]] (set: $Health to $Health - 1)

Running down the other hallway, it is dark and you briefly dissapear from Them as you reach the end. At said end of the hall, you find two open doors. One that leads to a bathroom and the other is a broom closet. [[Go into the bathroom]] [[go into the broom closet]]

You burst through the door to the other stairwell, only to find one of Them waiting for you. Their knife flashes as They strike at you. [[block the knife]] [[leap away]]

The sharp blade bites into your arms as you raise them to block it. The pain is excruciating. You fall to the ground and They raise the knife again. The knife cuts through your arms, through your eyes, and into your brain. You don't even have time to scream before the world goes dark. You die.

Managing to suffer only a small gash as you leap away from the flashing knife, you charge into the Prop Room. Inside the Prop Room, full of costumes and sets, two things catch your attention: a blunt, stage combat sword and heavy curtains, easy to hide behind. [[Pick up the sword]] [[Hide behind the curtains]] (set: $Health to $Health - 1)

Their knife leaves a long gash in your side as you charge past. [[Go to the other hallway]] (set: $Health to $Health - 1)

You pick up the stage combat sword. It isn't sharp, but it is heavy and metal so it will cause some damage. There are two doors They could enter through, or you could wait to face Them both at once. (set: $inventory to (datamap: "sword", true)) [[Defend the left door]] [[Defend the right door]] [[Wait for Them both]]

Tucking yourself behind the heaviest curtains you can find and tucking your feet to where They can't see, you wait with baited breath. You hear Them both enter the room. They beginning furiously searching the room. ... ... ... They eventually leave. You have survived the night!

Ducking into the bathroom, you jump into the furthest stall and close the door. You wait. After a moment, you hear Them enter. They quickly find your stall. Easily kicking through the flimsy lock, two knives flash in the sickly flourescent light. Pain consumes you. You die.

Locking youself into the broom closet, you stack as much junk against the door as you can. They begin slamming against the door as hard they can... But they can't make it through. You survive the night!

As the first of Them walks through, you beat Them over the head. The second one is right behind him. They almost manage to slash you with Their knife, but it doesn't stop you from bashing Their head in as well. You survive the night!

As you wait for Them to come through this door, you hear the oother door open. Turning around, there is a choas of blades as all of you are wailing on each other. One of Them goes down, but unfortunately the other manages to wound you fatally. You die.

They both enter through the left door and charge you. In the ensuing melee, one of them manages to give you a shallow slash in your side. Eventually, they both go down. (set: $Health to $Health - 1) (if: $Health is 0)[Unfortunately, as the night goes on, you bleed out from your wounds and die.]
