He walked through what looked like a medieval village and listened to townspeople talking. He ventured out of town into the woods beyond.
All of a sudden, he stumbled upon an ogre wielding a large club. He now realised he should have spent time buying weapons and armour in the village.
He flailed his arms ineffectually at the ogre as it swung its club. Everything went black.
He respawned in bed.
He was ready to tackle the level again — but this time, he would explore the village first.
