《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 7, Part 4 - The Murky Moat
Advertisement
Sasha and Oli followed Lauren and Alex back to the moat in total silence. When they got there, they faced the sea witch, both terrified of what might happen.
"Find the totem at the bottom of the moat," the witch sang. Next to the moat were two small boats with fishing nets. Sasha and Oli looked at each other, silently wishing each other good luck, before running to the boats and pushing them to the moat. They started throwing their nets out, trying to find the totem faster than the other.
This is way harder than I expected. I am throwing this net out and I cannot find this totem. I really hope Oli is having the same trouble as me.
I underestimated how difficult this would be. I'm really far away from Sasha so I really hope the totem is nearer me than her.
The two kept searching for the totem, praying that the other was also struggling.
"Hey, Oli, have you found it yet?" Sasha asked.
"No, this is really hard," Oli said.
"I know, I thought this would be easy," Sasha said. A few moments later, Oli pulled the next up with the totem inside.
"I found it!"
The sea witch created a wave to push Oli to shore. As Sasha desperately tried to paddle to shore, the witch raised her hand, and tentacles rose from the water. Sasha screamed as they grabbed her boat and dragged it under the water, with her in it. Oli watched on, helpless, as the boat slowly sank, and saw the look or pure terror on his friends's face. He watched the top of the water and saw Sasha slowly drown, and saw when the bubbles stopped, signifying her death. Oli clutched the totem and ran away from the moat, with Alex and Lauren in hot pursuit.

The door to the break room burst open as Oli ran in, startling the guests.
"What happened? Why are you out of breath?" Dan asked.
"Sasha's dead. She drowned. I had to get out of there. But I got the totem," Oli explained. He put the totem on top of the tower and sat back down.
"Did you guys figure out the box?" Oli asked.
"Um, no. We half thought you might get a clue," Willow said.
"I didn't find out anything," Oli said. The group looked at the box, all very confused.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
