Nope, you can't

[Omegastick]

 

[Hubris Incalculable]

All right, All right, I'll break the tie...

No to axes.

[Omegastick]

Brilliant!

[Omegastick]

You set off walking to your farm, you need to tell your parents you are all right anyway. The walk is only short, but due to your new loot it will take you a full day to get there, and it is the late afternoon now. On the trip you consume one elven ration, and refill your wineskin. While you are asleep at night, you have a dream:

You are standing on a great, white plane with strangely shaped clouds floating across the grey sky. Bending down to touch the ground your finger sinks right into it, as if it were made of a liquid. Looking back up, you see the surreal clouds slowly drift towards a single spot, where they form a darker cloud. The horizon bursts into an orange flame as the sky turns a dark shade of orange and the floor turns black beneath your feet. The clouds descend rapidly towards the ground in a funnel, hitting the floor and gathering about 25 yards away from you. A silhouette forms in the vortex, tall and spindly. Then, everything is back to how it was before; the sky is grey with oddly shaped clouds and the floor is pure white - yet, the silhouette stands there still. He walks towards you, taking slow paces but seeming to fly across the ground gracefully. The figure stops, no more than a few feet from you, and places his hands on your head.

Images flash through your mind of the cave you passed through recently. The combat you had fought, the trinkets you had taken and the piles spells you cast. Suddenly, new images that you have never seen before; you tossing fireballs, running long distances, taking sword blows yet carrying on fighting valiantly and blocking enemies attacks skillfully.

Without warning, you are woken up by the sound of something rustling outside.

What will you do?

Investigate the noise.

$10 says it's the troll we let out.

[Omegastick]

You crawl out of your one man tent and are immediately ambushed by a green thing. It swings a large saber at you and you quickly raise your buckler to block the attack. You get yourself up to your feet just in time for your attacker to get a thrust in, luckily, it misses in the darkness of night. You manage to make out the enemy attacking you, and it appears to be a Snakeman. Snakemen are humans sized when standing up, but when stretched out they go to nearly twice the length of the average person. They are green with a beige underbelly and you can see the hard scales. This one has a huge, cobra-like hood and large muscles.

You engage in sword combat, the darkness impeding your attacks. You notice the saber suddenly appear right next to your head as the foe barely misses and you dodge out of the way. Suddenly, he gets a hit in and a large, deep cut is spread across your chest. Recovering, you raise your shield and prepare for another attack. You attack him again but he is to skilled for you and he knocks your weapon from your hands, a yard or two away from you. losing blood rapidly, you dive towards your sword and grab it, blocking an attack from him once you grab your sword again. Waving your broadsword through the air, you strike him in the middle of his vermiform body and he reels backwards in pain. You get up and try to follow up, failing hopelessly.

After a few more seconds of combat, he strikes you again, sending a huge spurt of blood flying into the air and making you struggle to stay conscious.

You have two large wounds and are about to collapse, unconscious, any second. What will you do?

[Ochita]

Fireball.

[quip]

Fireball.

WOOOOOO! Fiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaah! Fire everywhere! WOOOOO!
This

[Omegastick]

(Hehe, first roll of the day is a 4, BRILLIANT!) You conjure a small fireball in your hand and throw it at the Snakeman before he gets a chance to react. The fireball strikes him square on the forehead and he drops to the ground, dead.

You stagger back into your tent and collapse onto your bed, falling unconscious.

You wake up the next morning, very badly injured. You give yourself a quick heal, just enough to get you back on your feet before carrying on.

Upon arriving back at your farm, you find your family there to greet you. You family consists of your father, mother and two sisters.

What will you do?

Declare that you're actually leaving home for a world of adventure this time. Then throw a party/get drunk and ask your parents if they have any adventurer-type tasks for you.

[Taricus]

Notify your family that you'll be going to the city.

[Omegastick]

You tell your parents that you are leaving for the city, and that you are throwing a leaving party. You invite many people from the local villages and towns to your farm and prepare for the party. On the night of the party, you count around thirty people all having fun at your farm and getting massively drunk. As such, you join in.

Is there anything you want to do while the party is on?
