Welcome fellow Steemians! This is the twelfth entry in my "25 Days of Christmas" giveaway series, in which I will be giving away a Steem Monsters starter pack each day till Christmas! All are welcome to participate. We had eight entries yesterday. 

### Welcome to Steem Monsters!

Steem Monsters is a decentralized trading card game, built on the Steem blockchain. Each card is encoded into the blockchain and serves as a digital asset, which is incredibly secure and cannot be copied. Players use their cards in battles and tournaments and can transfer their cards and gift them or sell them to others.

The Steem blockchain powers the fantastic social media platform Steemit, which you see before you. A free Steemit registration is included in each of the starter packs I am giving away.

### Today's Scenario

*You quickly drop your burning brand, while stepping to the side, away from the fire. The creature bursts through the underbrush, falls back onto its hind legs for a split second and then lurches forward, towards the shorter man, holding the lit brand.*

*The taller man scrambles to his feet, making eye contact with you for a moment. He recoils as he hears a cry of fear from his friend. Turning, he is just in time to see the jaws of the creature close on his friend's shoulder. You can see  through the firelight, that the creature is covered in scars.*

*You take this moment to burst through the underbrush, away from the creature and the bandits. You hear a shout in the distance, presumably as the third man reappears.*

*Rain begins to fall. It pours down thick, blurring the forest ahead of you. As you run, you begin to shiver, realizing that neither you nor your friend are equipped for the cold.*

*After what seems like hours of running, you both stop to catch your breath. The forest floor is now covered in inches of water. You glance around and see a crevice in the rock face above you. You could take shelter here, try to find your way back to the cabin you saw, or try to find shelter further within the forest.*

**What do you do?**
