The character is a parent or guardian to a child with a wild imagination. (This backstory can of course be altered to fit any scenario). The child, Seyah, is afraid of the monster under her bed. The player tucks Seyah into bed and promises her that the monsters under the bed and in her nightmares are nothing to fear. If nothing else, the light from her bedside nightlight is magical, and will protect her from any evil.

The adventure begins in earnest when the character lays down to sleep, and wakes with a jolt in a dark forest, tightly bound to a tree. As they struggle to break free, several massive insects glowing with starlight crawl from the darkness to attack. From there, the player must traverse this child’s Dreamscape - sometimes nightmarish, and sometimes whimsical - until they reach the top of Rainbow Mountain and fight against the one who entrapped them in this realm.
