Julio felt the blood roaring in his ears. He didn't know what to do. This was too much. This was far too much.

Suddenly, his mind cleared. He had an idea of what to do.

The poison... flammable?

He takes his lesser poisoned bolt, dashes over to the nearest companion holding a torch, and attempts to ignite the bolt. He then fires it directly at the source of the voice.

Since I feel like breaking the game, combat mechanics are weird, so it's a bit more free.

You stick the tip of your bolt in the flames, and it bursts into green fire. You fire it at the source of the voice. There's a dull thud as the arrow strikes its target, and the flames reveal a horde of the possessed, all wielding weapons and wearing heavy armor. As one, they let out a wheezing laugh.

YOU CANNOT BEST US. WE ARE MANY, AND YOU ARE FEW. AS FOR YOU, TITAN, I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE PUNY CREATURE YOU ARE. THIS WORLD WAS ONCE OURS, AND IT WILL BE OURS AGAIN!

With this proclamation, the horde starts hurling a cloud of spears and darts at you. The lion blocks most of them, the spears and darts bouncing harmlessly from its golden hide, but a few go past the lion and fly dangerously close to you. You start running, again.

Fu Qyu

You run, and it seems that you've nearly left behind the horde of attackers. The lion is leading you to a strange spot, different from where you crossed the swamp before. In the middle of running, the lion freezes, and its blue eyes flash.

"I CAN GO NO FURTHER. I CANNOT STRAY FAR FROM THE TEMPLE. HEAD SOUTHEAST UNTIL YOU REACH THE SWAMP, THEN HEAD EAST ALONG ITS EDGE. YOU WILL FIND A BRIDGE. GO!"

The lion snarls and charges the horde. You watch as the lion starts fending off the possessed, using its huge golden claws with deadly effect. The horde, however, is not so easily defeated. A black tendril shoots out from the chest of one of the possessed and coils itself around one of the lion's legs. Another one impales it, drilling through the gold as if it were paper. You keep running, and reach the bridge. You start to cross when you see the familiar red eyes peering at you from the middle of the bridge. A huge Prowler, with two stinger-like tails, stands guard on the bridge. You're about to run back when you see Gromble charging the beast.

"Gromble! No!" you shout, trying to stop him.

Alas, you are too late. Gromble pounces upon the creature with surprising agility, and starts grappling with it. As you watch, his features turn into those of a huge tiger. Soon, what was once Gromble is now a huge tiger. You think you see the tiger look back at you, and you can swear that you see Gromble's sad eyes in those of the tiger. The Prowler growls, and backs away, preparing to spring at the smaller weretiger. The weretiger, in the blink of an eye, charges the Prowler, and both of them are knocked off the bridge and into the murky waters of the swamp. You hesitate for a second before continuing on. You reach the camp, and see Julio clutching the pendant. You get no sleep tonight.

Gromble has perished.

I'll do Rautherdir, starwars, and crazyabe later, but rest assured that you aren't forgotten.

[Rethi-Eli]

((Where am I right now?))

Your camp.

[vishdafish]

"Shall we go eastwards now, to the tower? Or do you wish to prepare?"

[Coolrune206]

Julio is still panting.

"I... I need time... Just a little... to recover. I need to prepare some weapons... or something... something to fend off darkness... or something..."

He seems rather distracted. His eyes are moving rapidly back and forth, as if still watching the battle that had raged before.

Han Yu spars with Dāelen to hone his skills. He gives Elise and Dāelen a torch each.

[Ozarck]

Ah, I didn't know we  were supposed to post after the cliffhanger. I thought it was going to be a two part round. ah well, Fu did what Fu was going to do anyway.

Goodbye, Gromble. You will be missed.

Fu Hangs out with Julio and studies himself for magical power, to see if he can control it at all.

The lion said thepower was in us. It came from mortal magic? And then the Titans used it and put it into those knives. and then the knives put it into us. So maybe ...
Maybe we have mortal magic now? Since we're mortal, maybe it will be strong?

[Coolrune206]

"Normally I would rebuke that... magic isn't real... that it's just a myth, but... I can't really say that after all that just happened.

Let's not hop to conclusions about this mortal magic. We may be mortals, but "Mortal magic" may refer to something else entirely...

Mortal can mean either creatures that can die, or something that can cause death. I don't want to experience with death-magic..."

You look around. Wherever you are is a barren tundra, dotted with gnarled trees and huge caverns. One of the aforementioned caverns sticks out to you - it's massive, and you sense something inside. You made a wide circle around it as you forage for supplies.

~

Indeed, the battle was over before it began. A group of merchants set their mercenaries on your caravan, taking you by surprise. Many shady humans would pay a pretty penny for a captive lilliputian. When the merchants laid eyes upon you, they didn't see fellow men. All they saw was profit. The mercenaries, armed and armored in steel, simply shoved your people in cages. You were one of the two warriors who accompanied the caravan. The other warrior, Melephos, was killed fighting with a mercenary. You tried to fight, but the mercenaries laughed at you before shoving you in a cage with the others. Halfway through the journey, the merchants and their hired thugs started lighting huge fires at night. A few of the other prisoners swore they saw red eyes in the night, and you thought you saw them as well. On the 9th of Relokos, the shadows struck. They struck down the mercenaries with ease, and the blades of the mercenaries had little effect on them. As soon as they came, they left. Five of the merchants survived the attack, but three died of their wounds by morning. That left two of them. The next night, one of the merchants fled. That left one. When dawn broke, you had managed to loosen and remove your bonds, and you were slowly chipping away at the cage with a small rock. That night, you escaped. It was the same time that the shadows attacked again. The merchant was murdered, and the shadow creatures started butchering the prisoners. You watched in horror as the people you were so close to freeing were torn to pieces.

You grip your head, trying in vain to fend off the painful flashbacks. You fall to your knees, silently crying. Determination fills you. You want revenge. You set your mind to building a crude weapon, and start collecting supplies.
You get

Flint x 2
Vine
