👹 Premise

You are a gremlin named Phren, born from the shadows, a creeping fiend who must collect for his masters.

Tonight, the grand halls of Castle Candlekeep are yours to plunder. Goblets, ancient bones, precious paintings, even the duke’s favorite cookie (if you’re feeling ambitious) all glitter before you.

But beware: the gloom is both your ally and your curse. Every treasure you carry weighs you down. An apple? Easy enough. A golden vase? That’ll slow your legs to a crawl. The heavier the loot, the slower your escape, and the castle’s keepers are always watching.

🎯 Your Goal

You have only a short time before dawn. Grab as much as you can, scurry it to the shadow portal, and deposit your spoils. Do you risk it for the super valuable Biscuit? Or play it safe and make quick runs with smaller treasures?

When time is up the portal closes and the Shadow Realm will judge your haul.

Choose wisely, little gremlin, greed is heavy.
