Spooky Cave (Winter)

You enter the next room. It is small and curved like the inside of a geode. All around, fireflies buzz, lighting the room with a soft ambient glow that resonates within the smaller shards which dot the walls like a mosaic. In the center of the room, crystals grow up into a large throne and upon that throne sits a humanoid figure cloaked in a rough robe. Its eyes glitter and dance, and as it speaks it is as if many voices speak in unison from all around the room.
“You have entered my realm and come to see me with your own mortal eyes,” it says. The figure leans forward as if intrigued, you feel as if many eyes watch your every move. Behind you, a wall of fireflies block your path. “I can let you go, perhaps, if you give me something instead.”
Fireflies buzz around you angrily, throwing themselves into your pelt. Even more surround your companion, with his hands still glowing. A few buzz to the cloaked figure and drift into its hood before the whole body lights up angrily, “You are a true monster, wolf! Your crimes must be punished! I demand… that monkey for your payment! Or do you think you deserve to be free?”
How do you navigate this risky wonderland?
- Offer your companion
- Offer something else (list in post)
- Negotiate to keep everything
- Attempt to flee
