The cabin's walls are a mess of tangling roots, as is the floor. The only discernable furniture is a slab of mud in the corner. A pristine blade lays atop it. The blade is your implement. It would be difficult to slay the princess without it. The stairs to the basement are like hardened root, and a deep, earthy smell emanates from the basement, like your lungs are getting covered with mud with every lungful. If she lives here, slaying the Princess is probably doing her a favor. The Princesses mischievous voice prances up the stairs.

"Something nasty finds itself on my stairs. Come on down, don't be scared. I probably won't bite."

You arrive at the bottom of the stairs. The Princess is chained to the far wall by one arm, pressed as far away from you as possible.

"Ah! There's the nasty thing~ I've been waiting for you to come back. I know you and you're hideous! Absolutely wretched! Just like me!"
