Eat, drink, fill your packs with food, learn magic, get warm, ask the elf to join you.
We can eat him and his puppy later, in case we run out of food.

Sorry, been busy with essays and papers and presentations and whatnot. Will prolly post sometime soon. Don't hold your breath, though.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

> Get breath

> Hold breath

[lordnincompoop]

> Accept offer

You accept the elf's offer, and restock your supplies and satiate your needs. You found a few more green globs. The elf kindly patches up your wounds. When it is time to learn, the elf smiles and says,

"Then let us begin. Your first task is to try bring my that sword from the other side of the river."

What do you do?

Walk across the heavily frozen part of the river.

[100killer9]

Walk across and get the elf's that sword.

> Cross the river over the thickest bit of ice like a normal person.

You tread carefully, finding the best patch and crossing it. After that, it's easy to get the sword. The sword, when you approach it, looks to be made from steel, or other silvery material. It it remarkably unscathed from any of the elements or the tests of time. The grip is of black leather and silver filigree, and the cross-guard and pommel made of a silvery material, shining with the reflected light of a moon not present, rich and elegant yet strong, and covered with designs of battles of old. A large, glistening red stone is set in the middle of the pommel, gleaming seemingly by its own, as if there was a fire that was glowing from within. The sword is resting on a few rocks.

What do you do?

[100killer9]

Maybe we can trick the elf by taking his that sword and giving him our longsword?
Nah, I wouldn't risk it.

[Faden]

Get the sword and return to the elf

[lordnincompoop]

Maybe we can trick the elf by taking his that sword and giving him our longsword?
Nah, I wouldn't risk it.

Well, you could - you're entirely able to do so - but note that this sword is a piece of glittering moonlight descended from the heavens while yours is a lump of rusted metal.
