Upon entering this cold, dark room you are greeted by the sight of a man standing over an altar.
The walls of the room are lit by candlelight that dances in the deep shadows in the corners.
The wall paper is pealing and the only actual cared for thing in this room is the altar.
Upon hearing you enter, the man whirls, throwing a knife at you.
you...

stand stupidly and let the knife hit

dodge the knife
