I'd Call This... Strange.

[Fennec]

Guy stumbles upon a bunch of villagers in the forest, and they have tied up a girl they suspect to be a witch and are going to burn her at the stake. She is actually some sort of other mythical creature and the guy will save this poor damsel in distress. From then on... it's a free for all. They go on a bunch of wild adventures and almost die a bunch of times. La dee da.

Goood?
