Name: Derm: Watch out for the Knights who say Ni! Considering how crazy things have been of late, you decide that following the road will hopefully lead you to somewhere decent. Preferably not a place that was burned down and turned into a Demon's bitch. You smile softly at Elyssia, and tell her that you'll be going somewhere hopefully safe. She jumps up and walks behind you, which is probably a good sign. You decide that now would be a good time to find that road! After a bit of searching, you...[5] Find it surprisingly fast! You must be a better tracker than you had thought originally, especially in this strange forest. Nevertheless, you start down the road, all the while...[6] Whistling a merry tune. Elyssia seems to like it, but her face is still more or less a mask of stone. You observe that there's something very strange going on with this forest. Your gut tells you that...It's probably how the trees are swaying. That's a weird wind.
While wandering down the road, time starts to drift away, until...[Travel Event: 17] you hear a loud crack! The sound comes from the left, and you instinctively...[1] Stand there, staring at the noise. Elyssia moves behind you, and you wait...There's no other noises, so you go and quietly peer into the bushes from whence the sound came from. To your surprise, there's a sort of bag there! It looks quite bulky, and made of fine leather. What should you do?
Name: Arc: She's bald, dude. Totally not worth your time You begin musing on the workings of this dungeon, and mostly on what the hell is going on. Learning a spot of magic would help incredibly, and there's only one magic-user around here that you can see...With a slight grumble, you decide to approach said magic-user, and hope to learn some lessons.
You walk up behind her, and tap her on the shoulder. You proceed to ask her...[6] very, very nicely. Actually, you almost sound sickeningly sweet to yourself.
"Excuse me. Thanks for saving me back there, things...Didn't look too hood. I'm sorry if I misunderstood anything.""Er...Yes, that's fine. I've never liked that guy, he always drinks too much, and then breaks things. And why are you apologizing?""I thought...Nevermind. You see, I'm stuck here with nothing to do. I wanted to explore the world, but...I'm not really warrior material.""So, what you're saying is...""Yes. Could I help you in any way? The only thing that I would want in return, is to learn a bit of magic to help myself.""Magic isn't something that's really just...Taught. You're either born with it, or not. Still, even if you're not born with it, most can cast a few basic spells.""That's all I ask for. I take it that that is a yes?""Here. Let me cast a simple Detect Magic skill on you..." [6]
The priestess swirls her hands around, and lightly touches you on both shoulders. She closes her eyes for a moment, then...Suddenly jumps back! You see that her palms are slightly singed, and she has a slightly scared look on her face. She smooths out her emotions shortly although, and looks at you.
"I'm not going to lie...You have a lot of magic in you. Probably more than I do...You must be the son of some great wizard.""That's...Good, I take it?""Yes. It's very good, if you want to learn a thing or two of the Mystic Arts. You know what? I will teach you. This world needs more wizards.""Thanks! When do we start?""First, you can go get me some ale.""But I have no coins...""Oh, right. Here, use the copper that you gave me. You can buy yourself one too..."You pocket the quarter, and get up, heading towards the bar. Everything in your mind is just a blur right now...You? A wizard? Don't be silly...But, who are you to know? Could the Priestess by lying to you?...Your gut doesn't seem to care about anything but food and booze right now. Oh, well...What should you do next?
Name: Nassir: I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going Struggling against the vine, you exude every effort to escape!...[4] You only manage to loosen yourself, but that helps for now. You're not being drawn in again yet, but it still hurts. The good news is, Gorlisk just came crashing out of the bushes! He saunters up the plant thing, and draws his dagger. For a moment you think he's going to gut you, but he just hacks at the vines holding you. They quickly retract back inside the plant, and you fall to your knees. After a few ragged gasps, you thank the goblin, and get on your feet. He just nods, and tells you to watch out...These forests aren't exactly safe. You head back to the camp, and decide to get some sleep...
After falling asleep, you dream about...[4] A nice castle, full of happy people. Everybody is running around serving the King, all the while eating food and drinking wine. Not much else goes on, and you're quickly awoken by Gorlisk. He whispers that you have to get up now, or else bad things are going to happen. With a start, you jump to your feet, and look at him quizzically. It's early morning right now, still dark out. You can hear a crashing and grunting a ways behind you, and you see now why the Goblin had awoken you. He ushers for you to follow him, and you do so...
You both reach what seems to be a fast-flowing river, and Gorlisk curses in the foul goblin tongue. The noise is still behind you, and catching up...What should you do?
