Twine storytelling: Legend of Golden Island
Twine story typing script:
Eric is in a tavern when he overhears an elderly sailor talking about the legend of the Golden Island. The sailor gives Eric a worn-out map and tells him that the location of the three gems is marked on the map. After collecting the jewels, he must travel to the stormy sea, and the Golden Island will be revealed.
Eric decided to accept the challenge.
Stop 1: Ruby – Desert Ruins
Eric traveled to a hot desert where the Ruby was hidden in the depths of the desert ruins.

Eric faces these scorpions. What will he do?
Sneak up on the scorpions. Eric adopts a quick sneak attack strategy. This allows for quick passage but results in minor injuries.
