You start to run for your life. Fortunately for you, reality
works a lot like a King's Quest game, and the kung-fu beast
mysteriously moves much slower than your keyboard parsed input allows
you to move. You easily elude the lumbering beast, and find yourself
along side a peaceful pond, surrounded by happy woodland creatures.
You think you hear an Erasure song playing in the background. There
is a broken baseball bat near the pond's edge, and you smell the faint
odor of vanilla. There are paths leading north and south.

* To dive into the pond, go to [46].
