You find no weapons among the straw.

You lose the unidentified potion, and gain an empty bottle.

You feel you hands turning into claws, and you can now hear the wistling of a light wind. You can smell hay and animals around you.

The crude torch shows that you are in a barn. You can see hay, a horse in a stall, and tools on the wall. The horse is panicked by your fearsome appearance and makes a tremendous racket.

The horse kicks you in the head, knocking you into the pile of hay. The torch causes the hay to catch on fire, as well as your fur.

You run out of the burning barn and roll in the dirt. As the barn burns, you transform back into a human.

In the firelight, you can see a farmhouse to the east, and a shack to the west.

Your shoelace is now tied.

Someone comes running at you from the farmhouse, due to all the commotion,

You run towards the shack, and the open field beyond it. The farmer chases you with a pitchfork, yelling and screaming.

As you run from the rapidly tiring farmer, you notice that the beyond the shack are cornfields, and they run out into the knight.

The knight wonders what he is doing in the middle of a cornfield, and why you are running. He asks your name.

"Hail, Counter by asking his name first, I am Sir Quinton Pablo McHenry, Junior, the Third, of Riverton, do you have any idea what is going on? One minute I was on a great quest, the next I'm here, as if someone with a great deal of magic has a very odd sense of humor."

"I suspect it has something to do with this barbarous farmer currently chasing me. Shall we turn around and vanquish him?"
