MAIN QUEST
While the witch is distracted you look around her cabin. What do you do first?
A. Drink an unmarked potion.
KC, Nofo, and Bryce dug through the witch's potions to find something that might turn them back. They found a small jar full of a dark blue liquid and carelessly chugged it. The liquid coursed through them and temporarily rendered them invisible, allowing them to cuck Igor and steal his coins. [+3 COINS FROM EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T PICK THIS]
B. Read a spell from a book.
Igor, oblivious to the invisible critters who snuck their paws into his coin pouch, decided to recite a passage from a dusty old spell book. The passage was written in some bizarre language and was illegible, but Igor copped a few coins from the desk it sat on for his troubles. [+8 COINS]
C. Pet the cat.
No one decided to play with the lonely cat on the windowsill. Good thing, it didn't look very friendly. [-6 COINS]

The witch sat the four final travelers down at her table, handed one card to each player, and the games quickly began.
"OK SO ARE WE TRYING TO KNOCK KC OUT" screamed Nofo across the small table to Bryce and Igor.
"Yep!" Bryce nodded.
"Fuck ya'll." KC said bluntly in return as he threw his Handmaiden card down before turning to Bryce. "Why are you going after me you shyster?"
"I am not!" he said as he slammed his wing onto the tabletop.
The round continued until only KC and Igor remained. With one swift movement, KC knocked Igor out or the game and scored a win.
"i got cucked" said Igor as he threw his card down onto the table.
The witch reshuffled and dealt once more. "Two wins grants you safety." she said with a smirk.
Across the floor of the small hut, a lone sloth poked his head up from the bottom of a window frame, peering into the room to watch the action. It was Spin, who had made the long climb up the vine wall just to watch the showdown. The witch promptly noticed the voyeur and slid the window curtain shut, obstructing his view. Spin the sloth placed his hand up against the cold window pane and bowed his head sadly before leaving to start his long climb down.
"Wow...." Bryce muttered in Nofo's direction after he attempted to eliminate him.
"Like bryce im sorry but i had to???" he replied as he shrugged his wings.
Play continued and saw both Bryce and Nofo winning a round.
"holy shit dude fuck this countess bitch" said the win-less Igor as he threw his card down again.
The final round came down to one card. KC nervously drew the card, peered at the backside, and threw it in the center of the table with a smile on his face.
It was The Princess. Rose the raccoon stared back up at the group as KC howled victoriously. He took one final, solemn look at his deceased raccoon friend.
Bryce followed KC's eyes and looked down at the image of Rose. "Rose getting the last laugh :( " he said with a frown.
"Very good, KC. Very good." the witch began. "You now have a choice. You may sacrifice one player of your choosing OR you may pit the three against one another by having them--"
-THUK-
KC looked down at the rusty fork now protruding from his calf, Bryce's feathery wing still clasping onto it.
"Eliminate Bryce." KC answered without hesitation.
The witch grabbed hold of the small sparrow and carried him over to her cauldron. Bryce kicked his talons and flapped his wings the best he could, but he was no match for her. She stood before the steamy black cauldron, uttered a few unintelligible words, and tossed Bryce into the bubbling liquid below.
Bryce sat still in the thick, dark liquid. He raised his wings straight upwards and called out for help.
*\o/*
But no help would come. Nofo looked on with a bittersweet look on his face while Igor stared blankly. The witch lifted the cauldron up and placed it once more above her small brick fire place. The flames flickered against the round base, causing the surface to bubble some more as Bryce began to scream out. He was slowly but surely being melted down.
"DANGIT! I HATE THIS DAY!!" he yelled as his wings quickly caught flame.
"Let me put that out for you." said the witch as she lifted a bowl above his head and poured it downwards...
The final ingredient, milk, dunked onto Bryce's head and mixed in with the rest of the contents in the cauldron. Bryce finished melting down entirely. The last image of him was his milky head quickly slip beneath the bubbling surface.
Bryce has been eliminated
