What a nice Italian suit of armour. You open the door and the guard kindly steps aside to let you pass. "Addio piccola persona!" He calls after you. "Cercate di non morire in un modo brutto!"


The next room is a rather cheerful change of pace in this otherwise rather depressing haunted tower. A little girl's room, painted pink with little purple curtains draped over a little bed and more toys than a princess could ask for. Dollhouses complete with furniture and little tea sets for the dolls, rocking horses, every kind of toy animal you can think of and the most incredibly life like puppets.


In the centre of the room is a table on which sits a little model village. On one side of the village is a little river with an island in the middle. There are three men and a little boat on the island.


"Have you come to play with me?" You hear a little voice ask, and you turn around to see a young girl, about five years old, dressed up in a pretty green dress with a crown of flowers in her hair. Apparently the girl fancies herself a bit of a princess. Unlike the rest of the people in this tower though, the girl is not a ghost. Everything about her seems completely real. "I've been trying to finish this game for ages." She tells you, standing up on a stool to get a better view of the model village. "My Daddy gave it to me. He says only a real smart person can figure it out." The child then turns to you and considers you for a moment. "You don't look very smart." She says sadly. "But I'll let you play anyway."


Before you can either agree or object, you suddenly find yourself shrinking down to the size of a little toy soldier. Rather carelessly, the girl picks you up between her thumb and forefinger and drops you on the little model island.


"Now listen carefully." The girl tells you with a rather bossy tone. "There's three men on the island. The ugly one is a bad man who threw a lady in the river and drowned her. The angry one is the lady's brother, and he's very cross with the bad man for killing her. The scared looking man saw the ugly one drown the lady, he's very scared because he thinks the bad man is going to kill him too, so that he won't tell anybody what happened. You are the ferry man and you have to get all three of the men to the village so that they can take the bad man to court, but you can only take one man at a time. You can't leave the lady's brother alone with the bad man, or the lady's brother might get angry and kill him. Also, you can't leave the bad man alone with the scared man, because if you do then the bad man might kill the scared man so that he can't tell anyone what happened. Now, who are you going to take first?"

You refuse to play and give the little brat a good finger wagging!

You refuse to be a child's plaything! You wag your finger at the little girl and give her a very stern telling off. "I don't have time to play games with you! I need to escape this tower! You change me back right now! I swear if I was my real height I'd put you over my knee and give you a good spanking so you'd know to respect your… Wait, what're you doing?"


By now the girl has picked you up and is looking at you rather crossly. "Bad toy!" She yells at you. "I don't like you anymore!" And with that she dunks you in the model village's river and holds you under until you drown. You never were very good with children.
