You begin to check your inventory as a deadly tarantula sinks its venomous fangs into your bloodstream. Your last thought before you die is, "I'm a bat, I don't have an inventory."\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

You bite the tarantula head-first as it bites you, too, and you fall to the ground, paralyzed, thinking, "Why did I think this was a good idea?"\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

You fly over to the owl, shrieking and flapping your wings furiously as the owl says, "Who?" and bites your head off without even moving from its perch.\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

You fly the tarantula over to the owl and place it at the owl's feet as a gift as the owl pierces its beak into your heart and flies off into the horizon with your bloody carcass.\n\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

You instincively use sonar for echolocation. "Truly a wonder of nature," you think to yourself as you can sense everything around you, including the ceiling collapsing on your head.\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

As you relish the simultaneous deaths of the tarantula and the owl, the ceiling of your cave collapses and you and your Bouncey Bat family are crushed to death (along with your already dead foes).\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[START]]

You drop down to the floor of your cave and begin to explore.\n\nYou see an owl just outside your cave entrance, a tarantula on the ceiling, and you see that the ceiling is about to collapse.\n\n\nWhat would you like to do next?\n\n[[Use sonar]]\n\n[[Check my inventory]]\n\n[[Fly out of my cave]]\n\n[[Eat the tarantula]]\n\n[[Fight the owl]]\n\n[[Imitate an owl hooting]]\n\n

Your family is gone and your home is destroyed. You have nothing left to live for and you jump off a edge of a cliff without flapping your wings. You are a pile of Bouncey Bat blood and bones on the canyon floor.\n\nYOU ARE A DEAD BOUNCEY BAT!\n\n[[Start]]
