Quick recap

Ginger Wald and her twin brothers, Nat and Pat, get lost in the woods on a camping trip. They run into huge, blue-furred beasts that talk and drag them into a game of tag: Ginger is "the Beast from the East" and must tag someone before sunset or be eaten. The rules are bizarre, and a penalty rock sends Nat to the cage. Ginger tricks a beast named Spork, but he tags her back at the last minute. Nat escapes the cage and shows up beside Pat. The leader, Fleg, thinks the twins pulled a "Classic Clone," a Level Three move, and lets everyone go. On the way back, another Level Three beast tags Ginger.
