Someone saying 'eat some candles' triggered a giant spiel about eating things and arrows and being put in prison. And no we are eating everything, and killing people but we had nothing to do with it. We asked the infamous DDTS what he knows -> Killing him, eating him, escaping the prsion, heading to Riften? Seems like a bit of a railroad.) Okay, I understand.

Admittedly, yes, I was kind of trying to invoke a narritive -- like I said, check out Fallen London's "Mr Eaten" storyline, that was the goal. I wasn't trying to railroad it (very few interactive storytellers ever intentionally do that to a large extent [mostly because they can't keep an audience for said extent because of poor practice]), though I can see how it would seem that way.

Mr Eaten thrives off of things going from bad to worse, the mind utterly breaking, and all sense of logic being lost. I tried to convey this by mundane, minor actions unfolding into horrid massacres, but it's bad practice when looked at from the outside. Well, now I leave you all with a few options:
 * We leave the Hunter as-is, move to a new character, and the events of this chunk of story perhaps being felt later,
 * We pretend the hunter didn't exist and restore everything to before the character,
 * We pretend the Mr Eaten quest never happened and go back to directly prior to it,
 * Or I try to mend the Mr Eaten storyline for better practices and retcon however much of said story I feel I need to (not exactly appealing).

If you wish, also leave what action you want performed should one option prevail, and perhaps have contingency plans for the others, as well.
