It's been years since the last virgin was sacrificed: and now the beast of the pits awakens once more. Every generation, it stumbles on undulating tentacles from its resting place deep beneath the great ravine, its towering mass of blueberries ravaging the earth before returning to slumber for decades. But this time is different.
The Great Beast strikes smartly: bands of faceless men in gray robes emerge from the murky depths, gathering the beast's wandering tentacles before them. The enigmatic people of the pit live on despite the passage of ages! The earth trembles every night as they gather ever further the primordial tentacles, while the villagers ask: is any man brave enough to put the sword to this menace?
