How It Begins

You are a man who has always dreamed of the goblet, an item featured in many legends throughout history, changing ordinary lives into extraordinary ones. No one has ever possessed the goblet, and yet... you seek it.

After a long journey, you have reached the debris-strewn entrance to a cave, its passageway spotted with small pools of lava. You are wearing a locket and carrying a crossbow.
