Patches

As you approach the precipice and look down below, you can see a twinkling in the darkness, the ambient light reflecting what could very well be precious jewels and treasures. The shadows below move too however... as well as faint echoes of a slight murmur and growl

Suddenly, there is a heavy thud as the boot of Patches collides with your backside. You're sent down into the darkness, and bumping against the edge breaks your fall, but you still land heavily, knocking the air out of your lungs

you's head rings, coming to in time to see the shadows growing closer when overhead he hears a cackling. Patches stands high above on the very same edge, bellowing laughter down at you

Well, well, well! Look who decided to take a tumble down the rabbit hole! Didn't see that one coming, did you? he cackles Oh, you, you really are as graceful as a blindfolded drunkard on ice. I must say, your acrobatics rival even those of a three-legged dog trying to dance!

He claps his hands in a self congratulatory manner, a grin etched on his face as he sighs with satisfaction

But fear not, my dear friend. I'm sure you'll find something interesting down there in the darkness. Maybe some creepy crawlies will keep you company. Or perhaps you'll stumble upon an ancient secret so magnificent that you'll just have to carry to your grave! Oh, the possibilities are endless!

Just remember, you, gravity is always plotting against those with two left feet. Next time, watch your step and save yourself the embarrassment. Or better yet, leave the adventuring to someone with actual coordination!

His echoing laughter trails off, leaving you to face off against the the approaching monsters...
