You walk up the gravel pavement, eagerly carrying the sack of candy that you have already obtained. Signs on the driveway pointed you to this house, led all the way by ghost-like pumpkins and cats as well as ghost cats. It doesn't seem too out of the ordinary to you; weirder things have happened in Netwaffle. The view from the path is mostly blocked by trees, although were it sunset, you would be able to see the last of the day's light slipping through the trees. But it's not. It's very very dark. Even darker than usual nighttimes, and the moon is actually pretty big right now. You wonder why this may be.
You eventually reach the house in question to find... Its severe lack of decorations. It doesn't even seem to be dilapidated. But there are no lights in the house, and it's extremely quiet. There must be no one home. You're about to turn around when you see a sign right next to you. It says: "There is candy ahead. Approach."
So you do. As you approach the house, nothing seems to stand out, nor does there seem to be any sort of candy bowl on the front porch. There is a sign on the door, however, that says "Enter". You ignore the strange red runes on the door and reach for the door handle.
As soon as you touch the handle, the floor beneath you disappears. You now find yourself falling through the trapdoor on a slide. As the trapdoor closes above you, you find that no light has gone through. With nothing to see, you slide down and hope that the slide doesn't take you somewhere nasty.
After about a minute, you fall off the end of the slide onto... Something. Something squishy. A small light appears, showing that you fell onto some sort of red ooze thing. You feel a little grossed out. But as you stand up, you find that it hasn't stuck to you in any way.
You now seem to be in a dark, dilapidated dungeon, though thankfully you don't seem to be in any jail cell. The light ahead of you brightens enough that you now see a note on a table in front of you. You hasten towards it and pick it up.
"Greetings, traveller. I am your host, and the owner of this household. I don't normally let regular visitors down in here, but I had to make an exception for you. I wanted to try a little experiment. In a moment, the light ahead of you will shine bright enough for you to see the entire room. You will find that there are no exits, unless you happen to be able to fly and are willing to go back up the slide, but I hope you will indulge me. Your mission will be to find an individual small bag of candy. There are multiple bags, but each has a different prize inside, which you will be able to see on the bag unless it's a mystery. Each bag has a teleportation rune upon it, and as soon as you pick up the bag, you will be teleported back outside the house, where you will be free to leave. It will also bar you from entering for more candy, so don't bother. All of the bags will be carried by some being or another. You'll have to figure out how to retrieve these bags in your own way.
Ah, yes, there should be enough light for you to see by now. Look up, and meet the ones who carry your candy."
You look up and see a large spacious room ahead of you, with a few wooden boxes stacked in some places as well as various blunt objects stacked near them, such as shovels and brooms and the like. There are also a few interesting substances in some bottles around the room. You don't know what they do, but none of it looks like candy. Oh, and the room is full of zombies and ghouls and vampires and ghosts, and most of them seem to have a clear plastic bag attached to some clothing at their waists. A few of them are staring at you.
"Choose your target and your method of candy acquisition wisely. Good luck!"
You don't like the way that zombie is looking at you. You better act soon. What are you going to do to escape?
Your move.
