"Aradian Mirage Beetles...the desert be damned. Let's not attract their attention."

Daji is like, not approaching the Aradian hive. He heard of the terrible fate the poor travelers who fell prey to their claws.

Explore the ruins, in search of something interesting

Spoiler: something interesting (click to show/hide)

[6]You manage to sneak inside the ruins, and find a treasure trove of books and scrolls. Most of them are too damaged by the sands to read, but one gives a incantation for a unknown spell. You don't have it committed to memory, but you could probably cast it from the page if you kept the book.
One of the beetles heard your scavenging however, and has moved into the area. It still has not seen you yet, but it is close. [Gained Unknown Incantation (book)]

Throw a stick or rock or anything small nearby in another direction.  Hopefully that distracts it.

Spoiler: Distraction? well this is one, but not the kind you thought of. (click to show/hide)

[4(you) vs 3(it)] You attempt to pick up a rock.. and end up poking the creature in the eye. It recoils and stumbles around blindly, hissing angrily, but it won't remain that way for too long. you could probably take it on or flee if you acted quickly.

"CRIKEY!"

Wesley makes a break for it.

Spoiler: Brave sir Wesley ran away (click to show/hide)

[5]You do the one thing any sane man would do, Run away from the huge gaping maw. Thankfully, it is an ambush predator and not a very fast one. You easily lose it, without losing your loot.[Gained Uncommon herbs]

Tarsus looks with sadness as he's forced into this situation. Trial by combat? Is our kingdom really still relying on these archaic methods, obviously inspired by old pagan practices? The order has always disapproved of such things, but its leaders have always been too feeble to directly intervene. That the church would fall into the hands of such feeble leadership, what a disgrace!

This hierarchy is too feeble to convey the teachings of the great Lord. To submit even me, a man of the book, to blasphemous practices.
...Wait.
Blasphemy...

Tarsus' face starts to contort into a scowl as he waits to be taken to the arena.

Thats right, BLASPHEMY! TO FORCE A MAN OF THE WAY TO TAKE PART IN PRACTICES TAKEN FROM ANCIENT PAGAN DEVIANT TRIBES?! WHAT ARE THESE HERETICS THINKING, MAKING THE PEOPLE WATCH THIS UNHOLY DISPLAY??!! THE MEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WILL BE PUNISHED WITH THE HOLY HAND OF THE LORD!

Tarsus' face is now a veiny mess of pure righteous fury now.

PROCEED TO THE ARENA AND MAKE THE OPPONENT KNIGHT REPENT, YOUR ONLY WEAPON SHALL BE THE WORDS OF THE LORD, BOUND IN IRON, INSERTED INTO A FACE

Spoiler: battle of the angry (click to show/hide)

[3(You)Vs 2(them)] As soon as you are brought to the arena, you spot your foe and sprint at them, book raised. The knight is taken off guard and gets a decent thumping in the arm as he narrowly avoids a book to the head. He looks quite angry.

[5(Them)vs 1(you) And he is indeed angry. He conjures fire in one hand, and readies his blade in the other as he advances and launches a fireball right into your chest. Your brazen rush left you rather ill prepared for retaliation, and you are injured badly, knocked to the ground with the knight advancing furiously. -6 hp

Looks like I'm a bit late, but here's a sheet.

Name: "Wizbang"
Appearance: A very rickety, very old man who wears light armor, smudged and dented from years of use, over faded blue wizarding robes. His pointy hat is his most treasured possession, and he also frequently forgets to wear shoes. A slightly magical lizard named Scalene is his constant companion.
Backstory/Biography: Wizbang was once an extremely powerful wizard, but after an experiment to try and imbue a mundane lizard with powerful magic went wrong, he forgot his real name, as well as most of his magical know-how. Luckily the experiment was not a complete failure, and the lizard, now named Scalene, guides Wizbang on a journey to finish the experiment and recover his memories.

Skills : Razzle Dazzle: Wizbang can create a very beautiful, but incredibly dangerous, fireworks display of various magical sparks.

(while the sheet itself is okay, I cannot ensure your animal/monster companion will make it into the game. Most people are starting out on their own, and I would prefer that it remained that way if possible.)

"I never planned on living forever..."

Charge the damn thing, kill or be killed.

"Interesting. Maybe it's a good occasion to test it ?"

Daji feels reckless after finding the book.

Ambush the Aradian Worker and cast the spell on it ((And then it ends up being a boosting spell xD))

Despite taking the equivalent of an incendiary cannon shot to the chest and the smell of burn cloth and flesh permeating the air, Tarsus remains very much motivated, and is now convinced the only salvation for this knight comes from a personal encounter with the Lord himself.

Altough he must tend to himself first.

"I never planned on living forever..."

Charge the damn thing, kill or be killed.

Spoiler: Curbstomp battle, monster wrestling edition. (click to show/hide)

[5(you) vs 4(it)] You rush out of the hollow while it is flailing around blindly and give it a swift uppercut into what you think is it's head. Your fist hurts a bit, like you just punched a wall, but concidering you just knocked over a creature one and a half times your size in a single punch, you should of expected it.
[3(it)vs 5(you)] It gets back up, and lunges at you with saw-toothed beak, only for you to nimbly jump out of the way, grab it and begin punching it in the eye several more times. Considering that you're doing this all with your fists, it's taking quite a beating.

"Interesting. Maybe it's a good occasion to test it ?"

Spoiler: Spellcheck inbound (click to show/hide)

[2(you)vs 1(it)] you attempt to recite the incantation, but halfway through it you get a throatful of dust and end up coughing, the spell fizzling out before you can cast it. The beetle seems shocked by your ambush however, and just stands there dumbfounded.
[-2MP]
[5(it)vs 6(you) after recovering from it's shock, it lunges at you and tries to pin you to the ground while you clear your throat and try to complete the spell. You succeed, and while the beetle does slam into you, your spell takes hold on it. it seems confused and even fearful now.[-3MP,-2MP]

You are in the middle of the forest, doing... Something. You don't remember what. Maybe you should head to town and have a lie down. What shall you do?

"Whew! Close one!"

Wesley continues his travels, analyzing his herbs as he does so.

Spoiler: herb examining and quick travel. (click to show/hide)

You continue along the old road, with surprising haste despite having to run for your life earlier. You also identify the herbs as a number of catalytic ingredients that make magic, potion based and otherwise, stronger. A good set of finds! [uncommon herbs are now catalyst herbs]

[6] You pray to your lord for healing in the burnt, sucking chest wound you have. It is answered, you feel invigorated and renewed, but also spiritually drained.[All HP Restored,-10MP]
[4(them)vs 3(you)] The knight attempts to execute you with a quick slash to the neck, but you roll out of the way and the blow clips your shoulder. Between the rapidly regenerating flesh and your natural toughness, it does very little real damage. It still hurts though![-1HP]
