March of the 4th Night

This is the intro to the RPG portion of our team's game, Genre. The hero (unnamed as of now) had stood his ground for 4 long days and 3 horrible nights against the armies of Val and on the 4th night, Val himself was vanquished. Finally able to return home, the hero sets out on his path back home down the mountain range, when suddenly, Val is caught by surprise by fierce monsters; one of them carrying the corpse of Val, trying to keep it intact. The hero is knocked out and taken to Val's castle dungeon to rot to his death, or will he?
