You are Hernán Cortés: Spaniard, soldier, and adventurer, off to seek your fortune in a foreign land. The ship upon which you stand is one of 11 under your command and you have just set sail from Cuba against the wishes of the island's Governor, Diego Velazquez. You have just embarked on what may just be your greatest adventure yet and you are eager to escape the clutches of the governor.

You have your first exams this week, you need to get started on some research, and now your history professor has sprung a surprise assignment on you at the last minute—and it's due tomorrow! The only way you're going to get everything done is to pull an all-nighter. There's no way you'll be able to stay awake at home; your bed is there and it's just too tempting. So you head to the library. <br> <br> It's 7 pm and the library is more crowded than usual. It looks like you're not the only one with a mountain of work to do this week! There's no way you'll be able to focus in the midst of so many people. Maybe the top floor is quieter. You head upstairs towards the study carrels, but they're all taken. It's dead quiet up here, but there's nowhere to work. You begin wandering down unfamiliar hallways, poking your head into all the different rooms, but none of them work. You're beginning to get frustrated when you notice a door you've never seen before. It's tucked into an alcove in the very back corner of the building. You decide to check this one last spot before you give up and join the masses downstairs. <br> <br> The door sticks as you try to open it, but you can tell it's not locked. You give it a pull and it creaks open, revealing a tiny room piled high with books and a single, overstuffed chair. There's not a soul to be found. When you close the door behind you, you can't even hear the sound of the H-VAC that hums through the rest of the building. This is perfect. You can't believe your luck! <br> <br> You unload your books and make yourself comfortable—maybe a little too comfortable. You get to work on your assignment, but within a matter of minutes your eyes get heavy. You struggle to stay awake but it's impossible to focus. Maybe a ten-minute nap will help. You tell yourself that if you just get it out of your system, you'll be good to go for the rest of the night. You close your eyes and quickly slip into a deep sleep. <br> <br> Suddenly, <a data-passage=\"Character assignment and points selection\" class=\"link-internal macro-link\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">you're startled by a loud noise</a>!<br> <br></span>","Cortes sets sail from Cuba":" \t \t \t \t \t<span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"></span> \t <br> \t <span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"> You must wait for enough players to gather to begin.<br> <br> 1 Spanish players have joined the game.

Your master informs you that you are free and hands you a letter. It reads: <br> <br> “Gentlemen and brothers, here in Cozumel I have learnt that you are captives in the hands of a Cacique, and I pray you that you come here to Cozumel at once, and for this purpose I have sent a ship with soldiers, in case you have need of them, and a ransom to be paid to those Indians with whom you are living.

It's become an obsession. Just like every other day for the last week, you start on the top floor in the back corner. You brace yourself for the worst, knowing that you won't find what you were looking for, but there it is! You can barely believe your eyes. <br> <br> You carefully reach for the door knob, afraid that it will disappear before you can grasp it. But it doesn't! You turn the handle, give the door a good pull, and it opens to reveal the room exactly as you remember it: books piled high, overstuffed chair, one small table. How is this even happening? This can't be real...can it?<br> <br> You make your way to the chair and you hear the door swing shut behind you.

According to your spies, the dead far outnumber the living, who have been spotted in the mountains high above the city. <br> <br> You wonder if they will <a data-passage=\"Spaniards Decide How to Proceed\" class=\"link-internal\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">eventually make their way back to Tlaxcala</a>.<br> <br> </span>","Spaniards Decide How to Proceed":" \t \t \t \t \t<span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"></span> \t <br> \t <span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"> You wait and <a data-passage=\"Spaniards Retreat to Tlaxcala\" class=\"link-internal\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">wonder what the Spaniards will do next</a>.<br> <br> </span>","Spaniards Retreat to Tlaxcala":" \t \t \t \t \t<span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"></span> \t <br> \t <span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"> Your spies warn you that <a data-passage=\"Spaniards in Tlaxcala Cortes Alive\" class=\"link-internal\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">the Spaniards approach</a>.<br> <br> </span>","Spaniards in Tlaxcala Cortes Alive":" \t \t \t \t \t<span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"></span> \t <br> \t <span class=\"macro-live macro-live-block\"> You are not surprised when the Spaniards arrive in Tlaxcala, weary from the events of the past weeks. Your spies alerted you to their presence well in advance. <br> <br> You treat your guests to a warm meal and they settle in to recount their own version of recent events. When their story is done, they inform you of their plans: they want to regroup, consolidate their forces over the coming months, and prepare to lay siege to Tenochtitlán. And they want your help. <br> <br> You already fought with Cortes at the coast and your hand is now strengthened by the cannons you won in that battle, but will you put your lives on the line for these strangers again? Is this your opportunity to finally defeat your Mexica enemies once and for all? <br> <br> Go to the Tlaxcalan discussion board and weigh your options. You have 4 choices:<br> <br> <b>Option 1:</b> Aid the Spaniards and lay siege to the Aztec capital. These foreigners have proven themselves to be fierce warriors and they have powerful weapons at their disposal. This may be your best chance to <a data-passage=\"Tlaxcala helps the Spaniards\" class=\"link-internal macro-link\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">claim victory over your Mexica enemies</a>.<br> <br> <b>Option 2:</b> Attack the Spaniards.

Now is your chance to do away with the strangers and <a data-passage=\"Tlaxcala Attacks the Spaniards\" class=\"link-internal macro-link\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">restore order to your world</a>.<br> <br> <b>Option 3:</b> Refuse the request and send the strangers on their way.

Though your hatred of the Mexica runs deep, the Spaniards are not to be trusted. If you join forces with your historical enemies, the foreigners won't stand a chance. You will promise support and then send word to the Mexica, laying a trap that the Spaniards cannot possibly escape <a data-passage=\"Tlaxcala Sides with the Aztecs\" class=\"link-internal macro-link\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\">Spaniards cannot possibly escape</a>. <br> <br> When you have agreed on the best course of action, input your decision here.

The room is lit with a soft, red glow and looming over you is the most terrifying figure you've ever seen. <br> <br> A walking skeleton stands eight feet tall. Feathers sticky with blood cling to his bones and he bears the stench of death. You thought this whole adventure was just a dream, but the god of the Aztec underworld now stands before you. You briefly wonder if you are still dreaming, but when a drop of blood falls on your hand, the feeling is all too real. You know you are awake.<br> <br> As Mictlantecuhtli begins to speak, smoke spills from his open mouth. “Human, you have come to my lair uninvited one too many times. Every time I want to nap, I find you in my chair. Robbed of sleep, I have completed all your assignments for you in the hope that you would go away and never come back. And yet, here you are. Again. Have you no gratitude?”<br> <br> “And so, I will make you an offer: I will continue to do your work and you will make the Dean's list every semester for the rest of your college career. What you do with that success is up to you. All I ask is for two things in return: first, you must stay out of my chair and second, you must promise me your immortal soul. When you finally reach the end of your life, you will join me in Mictlán. If you refuse me this offer, you must leave immediately and promise never to return. Worst of all, you must do your own damn work. The choice is yours.”<br> <br> Well, this explains a lot.

The residents of the city recovered quickly from their horror and chased down the Spaniards, who retreated from the plaza and barricaded themselves in the palace.
