Success

Down the well

[…]

Down in the well, under the water, there are candles: candles, burning under the water... You find yourself toppling forwards into the opening. No. This isn't for you. Not yet. Thoughts that aren't yours touch your mind. You run.

Description summary:
The wind blows from the North, and windward a light can be seen coming up from a well in the distance. The player walks over and sees offerings around the well, steeling themselves before looking down into the well.
