It was a long and perilous journey and you're finally on land again. Take a breather! A nice, long breather. There are no squids or fog babies or insane sexy drone women. For now, friends, you are safe.

And you're in luck, too. Not far from where you've washed ashore there's a road... and a quaint two-storey cottage. The sign out the front reads: BERTHA'S BED AND BREAKFAST, though if you can't read you can still somehow tell that this is a safe haven. Anyone familiar with magic or the supernatural might even be aware of the protective wards carefully inscribed on the windows and doorway.

From inside, you can hear laughter and smell delicious, hot food. A girl, about twelve years old, looks out the window and yells: "Ma! More company!"
