Chapter 4:
While everyone debates on what to do, Sakurachan investigates the hole further. Before she can scream the hole silently sucks her in as if it were a black hole. Thick red liquid, presumably blood, leaks from the hole and drips down the stone wall.
As the group makes their final decision, Masterofdragons turns around and notices the blood on the wall. Upon approaching the hole, the same thing happens and Masterofdragons is sucked in, before even being able to usher a single sound. Firepepper sees this and calls everyone over, but is sure to stand clear of the hole.
What was once the most popular vote is now the least. Firepepper suggests going with their suggestion of trying the window. Everyone nods and Firepepper steps in front of the dark window. They peer through the glass cautiously before trying to open it. The glass easily lifts and the frame expands to fit a human... and Firepepper begins to enter the opening. Their torso is halfway through, with their head and arms sticking out towards the group and legs engulfed in the darkness behind the opening. Suddenly a wheezing, painful sound escapes Firepepper's throat and they beg for help.
The glass has begun to lower onto their body, slowly cutting through their back. Despite the group's best efforts no one is able to save Firepepper and half of them falls to the floor while their legs have disappeared into nothingness behind the glass. One brave group member pulls the torso under the table to relieve everyone from the horrible sight.
Ivodince pulls themselves together and calmly suggests to try the only remaining option - the door. With no other choice, everyone nods and Ivodince opens the small door, only to be greeted by a bright light. The Sun is shining! The door grows large enough for everyone to crawl through and quickly everyone escapes the room through the door and finds themselves in the forest again, behind the mysterious house and its cellar door.
Ahead lies a forked road. The group looks at the map and sees that the right turn leads to a lake and river while the left leads to a bridge and house marked with a red X. At this point you are all starving and dying of thirst, but who knows what treasures lie at the house with a red X?
Where will the group go?
A. Left
B. Right
This is a group decision. The most popular vote will be carried out.
Heres your current location (blue X):
You have until November 25th at 11PM to submit your answer!

Solution:
The clue was an acrostic for the answer, like so:
Dark
Openings
Offer
Retreat
= DOOR
Not only that but the group escaped the house through the door and found themselves outside of the cellar DOOR. Dark was meant as unknown (you knew the hole and window only showed black) and despite the door being closed, it can still be opened (just like the window).
Not every riddle will be an acrostic, just so you guys know. ;) But now you know to look for wordplay or to read between the lines.
Congratulations to Ivodince for being the only one to guess right (even though your reason wasnt because its an acrostic)!
Unfortunately Sakurachan edited their post and Masterofdragons did not post an answer so they had to be killed off. Firepepper was 1 of 3 players to choose the window option and was chosen by random.org to be killed off, sorry! The first 3 players have been killed off, and so the prizes will begin to be distributed.

The left turn goes to the house, and it is a shorter distance. We are trying to get to the red X, and so it makes sense to go to the house. However, the house probably has nasties, and there is a highly unlikely chance that there will be something nice there. We are starving, and so very weak. It would make sense to go the lake, and then go to the house. The lake has fish (most likely) so we sill be able to assuage our hunger, and we can drink the water so we do not get dehydrated. Besides, we can always probably go back to the house.
My final answer is Choice B.

I agree with Hemmons, though the distance to the house is shorter, since we are starving and thirsty, it makes more sense to go to the lake to rest and strengthen ourselves before continuing.
My final answer is B, right.

I agree with Hemmons and Wonder.
The distance to the house may be shorter but we are thirsty and hungry. If we go to the lake our sylesti's can help us catch fish and the water may be drinkable.
We can always go back to the house and the red X over the house on the map could indicate danger. As such I think we should go to the lake which will allow us time to rest and regain our strength. Which means we should go right.
My final answer is choice B!

I agree that we should go to the lake first. We can always go to the house after that.
My final answer is B.

Just to clarify, we've just left the house with the blue "X", correct?
I think we should go to the lake as well, for the reasons others have listed, as well as the fact that we will be going strictly through forest. The left path, though it leads to the house, passes close by a mountain, which is a perfect place to get ambushed by nasties, and the terrain will be rougher, with less chance of foraging for food. If we're hungry, berries and roots and nuts and the like may be found in the forest, and the lake and stream will provide water.
My final answer is B. Right.

Yes, the blue X is your location, the red X is the final goal... as stated in the rules.
