Am I Going the Right Way?

Tell imps phone no. as a courtesy in case they have any contract needs. Say politely, 'What is up the beanstalk?'

The imps take your phone number.
You say 'What is up the beanstalk?' politely.

An imp says, proudly 'It is our sworn duty to defend the secrets of the beanstalk against all intruders, and we pledge never to speak of the city above the clouds'. Another imps smacks him round the head, 'idiot', he says, 'there's nothing up there for you'. 'turn around and leave, or we shall be forced to attack'.

You hear the faint sound of screaming below you.

Down

You climb down the beanstalk.

You are standing next to a beanstalk, winding up into the clouds. The remains of a dozen permies are woven through with the roots of the beanstalks.

The chopped up remains of the fat man lie at the base of the beanstalk. There are tiny bloody footprints leading into the grass to the North.

To the East is a small jetty and a hut beside a large lake, to the South is dense forest, to the North is a small thatched village with snowy mountains in the distance, West is uphill towards the forest.

Check who phoned.

Check who phoned.

You take the mobile phone out of your satchel and check your missed calls. It is a witheld number, no voicemail.
