You have no seeds to grow a regular potato, much less a giant one.

I combine the wooden staff with the nails i find lying around and use it to kill other people from sg to find loot.
Comment has been collapsed.
You combine your wooden staff with human fingernails and try to find people to kill. Your weapon is not very effective and you are soon bested. You wake up in a jail, stripped of your possessions.

Is it wet?
If so, I smear it in my hair.
If not, I rub it on my clothing.
Comment has been collapsed.
It had rained earlier, so it is wet. You slick your hair with the wet sand.
Comment has been collapsed.
Excellent.
Now that I am camouflaged, I squat down and check my immediate surroundings for anything dangerous and/or useful.
Comment has been collapsed.
You see nothing of danger to you. You find a small rock.
Comment has been collapsed.
I pick up the small rock.
Then I check to see where the sun is in the sky.
Comment has been collapsed.
You picked up a small rock. The sun is above the mountains, to your west.
Comment has been collapsed.
A rock shaped shadow forms on your forehead. Nothing else happens.
Comment has been collapsed.
I name the rock "Spot", smile quietly to myself and head South.
Comment has been collapsed.
You walk south towards the sea, holding Spot. You walk further and further into the water, forgetting that you may drown. A big wave pulls you underwater.
Comment has been collapsed.
I kiss Spot goodbye as I let go and swim back to the surface.
Comment has been collapsed.
Spot floats away. A giant eagle swoops down and clutches it in its claws, flying it away. You swim and reach the shore.
Comment has been collapsed.
I say a quick prayer wishing Spot a good journey, and dry off my clothes.
Comment has been collapsed.
You see Spot flying away, not knowing how will eventually end up as a famous rock with fame and fortune. You dry your clothes in the sun.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now that I am dry I don't feel like swimming again, or rock climbing either. I look to see what is to the West and North.
Comment has been collapsed.
To the West lies a forest. To your North, more forest.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll sort-of head in a semi North-Westerly-ish type of direction, looking for a suitable walking stick/thingie amongst the signs of the epic battle and/or fallen wood from the forest.
Comment has been collapsed.
You walk into a tree. A branch falls off the tree and hits you on the head.
Comment has been collapsed.
I pick up the branch and swing it a few times to test it's worthiness, then I check my aching head for injury.
Comment has been collapsed.
You swing the branch back and forth. The branch is sturdy but it will only take 4-5 good hits before breaking. You have a bump on your head but no bleeding wound.
Comment has been collapsed.
I head into the forest, using my walking stick to maintain balance and avoid obstacles.
Comment has been collapsed.
You trek further into the forest. The trees grow thicker, their canopies blocking out the light and you find yourself in a dark plain devoid of trees.
Comment has been collapsed.
You poke the stick with the ground. It crumbles beneath your feet, pulling you into the newly-formed sinkhole.
Comment has been collapsed.
You hold your branch parallel to the ground as you continue to sink.
Comment has been collapsed.
You vigorously dig deeper. The branch breaks under the force.
Comment has been collapsed.
I close my eyes, hold my breath, and continue digging with my hands
Comment has been collapsed.
You close your hands and starting digging deeper. Dirt accumulates in between your nails. Several nails break and your hands begin to bleed. The sheer pain makes you pass out. After an indeterminable amount of time passes, you wake up to find yourself lying by the sinkhole with your hands bandaged. Someone rescued you. You look around but find no one there.
Comment has been collapsed.
I take a deep breath of air and look around to see where light is coming from.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh crap!
I crouch down and look around for which direction looks like it contains the least flames/smoke.
Comment has been collapsed.
The flames are equally spread on all sides. You are surrounded by a symmetrical ring of fire.
Comment has been collapsed.
I cover my face with my bandaged hands for protection and run through the fire...
Comment has been collapsed.
You run as quick as you can, and manage to get through the flames unscathed. Well, barely. Your hair is ablaze.
Comment has been collapsed.
I smother the flames with my bandaged hands, then take a quick look around.
Comment has been collapsed.
You quickly put out your hair and look around. The forest fire is spreading quickly like ... wildfire.
Comment has been collapsed.
I run!
Preferably away from the fire, but at the very least away from the ring of fire I was in a moment ago...
Comment has been collapsed.
You run as fast your feet carry you. For every bit of ground you cover, the fire covers double. You fear that you will soon be caught in the blaze, when you spot a river.
Comment has been collapsed.
I keep low and head for the river, stopping short of jumping in.
Comment has been collapsed.
You reach the river bank, as the fire blazes around you.
Comment has been collapsed.
You slowly enter the water, hoping to get some shelter from the fire. All around you, trees begin to fall, flames eating away at them. The air is replaced by thick black smoke, which chokes you every time you take a breath. Things are heating up here.
Comment has been collapsed.
I swim out to the middle of the river.
Is is burning on both sides?
Comment has been collapsed.
The fire has spread very quickly, engulfing the whole forest.
Comment has been collapsed.
You begin to swim downstream against the current. The indomitable current and your injured hands sap you of your energy. You have trouble staying above the surface of the water. You begin to drown.
Comment has been collapsed.
I try to overcome the panic of the water flowing upstream, take a calm deep breath, close my eyes and try to float laying straight on my back...
Comment has been collapsed.
You wake up lying on your back, You can only see out of one eye.
Comment has been collapsed.
Touch the eye to see if I'm wearing an eye patch. Get up and look around with the one eye I have.
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to reach for your head but find immediate resistance. You look down to see that you are strapped into a bed, white sheets wrapped around your torso.
A woman's voice breaks the silence of the room "Ah, you've finally come back to us."
Comment has been collapsed.
Try to look around and try to catch a glimpse of the woman.
Comment has been collapsed.
A nurse sits in a chair just to your left. The lights in the room are blinding and you cannot make out her face. She puts out a cigarette and stands up.
"Do you remember anything?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Trying hard to remember something but fail.
Ask the nurse who she is and ask why I'm tied up.
Comment has been collapsed.
"It's probably best you don't hear it from me. I'll get the doctor."
She gently brushes your hand, you feel the strap on your wrist loosen. She turns and leaves the room.
Comment has been collapsed.
Trying very hard to remember something, I decide to wait for the doctor to get some answers.
Comment has been collapsed.
While lying there, you hear a muffled conversation outside the door, but cannot make out all of it.
".Wake......Worr...let him.....murd...get caught"
Comment has been collapsed.
Start to look a way out of the restraints while the nurse is busy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks to the loosened strap, you are able to free your left arm. You quickly free yourself from the restraints.
Comment has been collapsed.
Quickly go to the door and eavesdrop on the conversation between the nurse and the doctor.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nothing but silence from the other side of the door.
Comment has been collapsed.
Look for an alternate way out of the room. Look for anything around the room which maybe useful like a scalpel.
Comment has been collapsed.
You look around the room, you see that there are no windows on the walls, a locked door in front of you, a bed, in which you had laid, and a table with various item next to it. On the ceiling is a smoke detector.
Comment has been collapsed.
Check the things on the table and try to take the batteries form the smoke detector.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dig around in the pockets of one of the fallen men and find a cookie.
Comment has been collapsed.
You dig around in the pockets of the dead and find 2 coins, because no one carries a cookie to battle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Disappointed, I head to a nearby coffee shop to buy a cookie using the coins I found.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are miles away from any town, much less a coffee shop.
Comment has been collapsed.
I pull off one of the limbs from the nearby dead, remove the flesh, and attempt to homeward bone to last bonfire I rested at.
Comment has been collapsed.
While you are stripping the flesh, you suddenly feel the ground shake. You turn to see a dragon approaching you. It lets out a big roar and blows fire at you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I use the flames to sear off the flesh from the bone and dodge behind a stack of bodies to await the dragon's next move.
Comment has been collapsed.
As you sear the flesh of the bone, you catch on fire. You hide trying to extinguish yourself.
Comment has been collapsed.
I sink my burning arm into the bodies and the fire extinguishes from the overflowing blood. The burnt smell smells faintly of fried chicken.
Comment has been collapsed.
While you are busy thinking of fried chicken, the dragon lets out another burst of flame, burning your hair off.
Comment has been collapsed.
I want to give this another go. who wants to play?
Comment has been collapsed.
My adventure ended prematurely. I'd like to give it another try, if you wish.
Comment has been collapsed.
I slowly open my eyes to locate source of the racket.
Comment has been collapsed.
A man in camouflage is standing above you, a scowl on his face and blood dripping from his hands. Rapid gunfire rings in your head. you can see the night sky above you and dirt walls to each side.
Comment has been collapsed.
I look around and ask the camouflaged man about what is happening.
Comment has been collapsed.
You still see dirt wall to each side of you, you appear to be in a recently dug ditch.
"Nobody has time to die on my battlefield! Now get the fuck up and grab your weapon, private!"
Comment has been collapsed.
As you begin to lean up, a bomb explodes behind your eyes and you crumple back to the ground, grasping at your head. You can feel the warmth of blood on your hands. There is a hole in your head.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can Only assume that because there is a hole in your head, that your life could be in danger.
Comment has been collapsed.
You spot an M1 Garand in the mud next to you. The bolt is pulled back and there does not appear to be any ammo. You try to call out for a medic but your voice comes out as a faint whisper.
Than man above you grabs you by the collar and jerk you to your feet. He bends down and retrieves your gun, shoving it into your chest.
"GOGOGO!"
Comment has been collapsed.
I grab the M1 Garand and try to run as best as I can using the walls for support. I keep an eye out for ammo, medic and enemies.
Comment has been collapsed.
You lurch forward, finding locomotion difficult while in possession of a head wound. the ditch ends five feet in front of you, with a ladder pushed against the dirt. You spot an ammo belt at the base of the ladder.
Comment has been collapsed.
I grab the ammo belt and reload my weapon. I try looking for a medic or some bandages or a helmet.
Comment has been collapsed.
The walls of the ditch are too high to see over. You now have an ammo belt.
The belt contains 12 rounds of 45mm NATO rounds.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I reload my weapon with these rounds? Is there a helmet, bandages or a medic nearby?
Comment has been collapsed.
Your rifle uses .30-06. You cannot use these rounds.
You still see nothing but dirt walls, a ladder and a very angry man in camouflage.
Comment has been collapsed.
I climb the ladder and look for possible cover as quickly as possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
You struggle up the ladder and are immediately assaulted by every sense you posses. An explosion nearby temporarily deafens you, the smell of gunpowder, blood and feces violates your nose to the point you have to choke back vomit. You feel yourself about to faint.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will myself to move forward to cover. I cover my nose to lessen the smell.
Comment has been collapsed.
You successfully pull yourself up onto higher ground. You find yourself face down on top of a mangled corpse. a bullet catches the corpse in the shoulder, spraying you with blood. You hear a voice nearby.
"Control, this is delta, need suppressing fire at my mark!"
Comment has been collapsed.
I wipe the blood of my face and head towards the radio-operator to find out what my mission is?
Comment has been collapsed.
A scared looking man crouches 15 feet from you, he screams into a radio while making eye contact with you as you approach. You ask him why you are there, what you are to do. He looks at you like you are an idiot.
"What the fuck are you talking about? Point at the enemy and shoot!"
He hands you 15 rounds of 30-06. You load your rifle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I ask if he needs the NATO rounds. If yes, I give it to him. If no, I move on.
I try to move forward from cover to cover, preferably when the shooting pauses for brief intervals. I also try to shoot any enemies I see, while scavenging for bullets and a helmet.
Comment has been collapsed.
You move on. He has nothing but a radio, a ration, and a will to live. You remember his face.
You come to the frightening realization that there is no cover. maybe this is why you have a head wound in the first place. as you run, you fire of shots. It quickly become apparent that running and shooting plays hell on your accuracy. You lose 8 bullets.
Comment has been collapsed.
I quickly keep running forward, trying to avoid getting shot. I reload my rifle and try to find something that'll pass for cover. I also look for a commanding officer or anyone to tell what I'm supposed to do.
Comment has been collapsed.
You force yourself to run as hard as you can. Your surroundings become a blur as you press forward as hard as you can. you trip over your own feet and land on your face. All you see is white.
Comment has been collapsed.
I try to get up quickly and resume my running, in fear of getting shot.
Comment has been collapsed.
I immediately look for some cover or protective gear.
Comment has been collapsed.
You take cover and cower behind it, before you realize the battle has already ended it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh. Well, better be safe than sorry, heh.
I look around for any, er, "landmark" or checkpoint, watch tower, or anything that could tell me more about this place.
Comment has been collapsed.
You see a large stone tower in the distance. You presume it to be a part of a giant city.
Comment has been collapsed.
I walk towards the tower, while looking at the scene around me. Perhaps I can find something useful on the way to the tower.
Comment has been collapsed.
You gaze falls upon something shiny near a mound of corpses. It is a small dagger. You continue on towards the city. It will take a day's journey to get there.
Comment has been collapsed.
I use my VR to scan the area and check if anyone is alive.
Comment has been collapsed.
I stare out over the battle ground, trying to gather any reason as to how I suddenly appeared in the middle of what was once a battle field. I sit and gaze silently for a few moments, then decide to check for any useful items I may have.
Comment has been collapsed.
You get up and see yourself dressed in armor. You realize you are a soldier. Your weapon is missing. You look around and find a spear and wooden shield.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Women's breast plates are so uncomfortable, bluh!" I fiddle around with the breast plate for a moment, then walk forward with spear in one hand, and shield in the other. I walk through the horrific scene, searching for anything that could be of use before I leave.
Comment has been collapsed.
After playing with your breast... plate, you walk through the bloodbath. You spot many of your own kin dead.
Comment has been collapsed.
A wave of sadness washes over me with each new person I'm kin to I find. When I've had enough, I look to the horizon to decide which direction to go and to see if there is anything off in the distance.
Comment has been collapsed.
You have nothing. You strip an orc body completely naked. You now have:
- dented orc armor
- metal shield
- giant axe (notched)
Comment has been collapsed.
I put on the armor and scream into the air and say "ANYONE THERE?"
Comment has been collapsed.
You equip the armor and shout. All you hear is a wolf's howl.
Comment has been collapsed.
You run into the forest, from where the howl originated. You keep on running until the howl dies down. You stop and look around, wondering where to go next. As you wonder, you feel a pinch at the back of your neck. You start feeling dizzy. You feel around your neck and pull out a dart. Your vision becomes blurry and your legs become jelly. You pass out. You wake up to find a sack over your head, impeding your sight.
Comment has been collapsed.
i try and move my hands and if i can check what i have and pull off the sack
Comment has been collapsed.
You soil you pants and kick around, making sure your feces is equally distribute themselves in your trousers. You hear footsteps approaching, followed by the sound of a door opening. You hear a man gasp as he smells you. You feel water getting splashed at you. The sack is pulled off of your head. You see a man of dark hue, standing in front of you. He cuts your trousers off and cleans you up, from a distance. Then he leaves.
Comment has been collapsed.
Post move due to ducky's request:
I tell her I haven't seen Carpon. Sensing her nervous glances I further elaborate that I did meet him, but then he disappeared right after I used a crystal on the charm that he had handed to me, and offers to show the charm to her
Comment has been collapsed.
As you bring the charm closer to her, she unsheathes her katana and tells you stay where you are. She throws something on the ground, creating a giant plume of smoke. You cough on the smoke. When you are able to look again, you see that Avelya has disappeared.
Comment has been collapsed.
My eyes grow wide in disbelief as I wonder what that was all about...Could she be the one who had changed the notices Carpon had left for me? I ponder this for a while before looking around for traces of her, then rechecking my inventory, then the charm
Comment has been collapsed.
You look around for her but find no sign of her. Your inventory is unchanged. The charm glows with the same intensity as before.

Shrugs my shoulders and goes back to decoding the spell
Comment has been collapsed.
Reads spell - tries to figure out what it does and what is needed
Comment has been collapsed.
You figure out that the spell can only be cast once the charm is at full power. However, you require a sacrifice. For you to get your own arm back, another's must be given.
Comment has been collapsed.
Leaves the room, remembering to POCKET THE DECODED SPELL THIS TIME UGH
then wanders around looking for a random stranger to kill
Comment has been collapsed.
You put the spell in your pocket. You now have two 2 spell book pages. You come across a zombie wandering around.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I wonder if I will get a zombified arm if I sacrifice him?
Uses the axe to chop off an arm, then behead the rest of him until he is dead
Comment has been collapsed.
You amputate the zombie and behead him. You now have:
- a zombie arm
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm...finds secluded spot and tries to see if I can now decode the other Spellbook page that I have
Comment has been collapsed.
You find a small room with some stationary supplies. You close and lock the door behind you. You pull out the other spell book page and find that it requires no decoding. However, the page has been wet and the ink has run. You need to dry the page and cast a recovery spell on it to bring it back to its original state.
Comment has been collapsed.
I check my inventory, after that i seek water or some reflective object to see my own face
Comment has been collapsed.
You find a puddle. You look at your face. You see the distorted face of a helmeted man.
Comment has been collapsed.
i wash my face in the puddle, glad that i have a helmet, feeling refreshed I check the bodies for any gold, or for some indication of what happened
Comment has been collapsed.
You splash water on the front of your helmet, forgetting to take it off. You find:
-17 coins
You realize that you are standing at the site of a great battle, one for the legends.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not giving a damn about the battle, I look around for places I could go to, I reason a town or a temple of some sort would be my best bet in starting a new life. As I walk, i wonder how I got here
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to remember as to how you wound up here. Everything that happened before you woke up is a blur, as if a veil has been cast upon your mind. As you walk, trying to remember, you see a solitary building surrounded by a grove of trees.
Comment has been collapsed.
I approach and inspect the building from the outside, making sure to take a weapon from the battleground with me, just in case.
Comment has been collapsed.
You find a broken sword that you take. The building seems like an ordinary, nondescript building. You can't tell much from the outside.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is fall, the trees have no leaves nor do they bear any fruit.
Comment has been collapsed.
I climb a tree carefully, seeking to enter the building from somewhere other than the front door
Comment has been collapsed.
You climb the tree and find no holes or other orifices through which you could enter the building.
Comment has been collapsed.
I leave the tree and knock on the door, immediatly hiding in the nearby grove, and watch for any response
Comment has been collapsed.
The door does not open. However, a peephole on the hole slides and a pair of eyes emerge, scanning the vicinity. Finding no one, the person grumbles and slides the slit shut.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wait for around fifteen minutes, trying to remember anything at all that might be useful. When that time passes I go to the door and knock again, this time I stand in front of it and wait.
Comment has been collapsed.
You remember nothing useful. You stand in front of the door and knock. The slot opens and the eyes stare at you. A voice asks your purpose of visiting.
Comment has been collapsed.
I tell him I'm the last surviving warrior from the great battle that just occured, I politely ask him if he has any water or bread, and ask for directions on places in the viscinity.
Comment has been collapsed.
The eyes look you up and down. The door opens and you find a woman standing, wearing a uniform of same hue as you. She invites you in and introduces you the rest of the people. You are given nourishment. You also get a map.

Pick it up. Then Carry on walking until i find any of the things in the list above, and maybe use the compass and map that are on the floor to the side of me.
(OOC) You didn't say we couldn't create stuff using the power of text.
Comment has been collapsed.
You pick up the map an compass and suddenly feel a bout of nausea. It soon results in incessant vomiting. The compass and map fall from your hand and the vomiting stops. As you leave the cursed objects behind, you find a non-cursed compass and map on one of your fallen brethren. Using that you make your way to the closest town, Visar. You are currently at the gates.

Relieved to not hear signs of immediate danger, I put a tentative foot forward and survey my surroundings. Something catches my eye in the distance, a bright flash as the sun reflects off a metallic surface.
Comment has been collapsed.
You see a metallic object glinting in the sunlight. You move towards it. It is a broken iron shield.
Comment has been collapsed.
Even though it is broken, the iron may have some value in the nearest settlement so I pause to consider hauling it along with me. In doing so, I remember to check my person for any items I may be carrying which could also be of value.
Comment has been collapsed.
Picking up the shield with the intent of bartering with the local smithy if nothing else, I trudge onward. After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, I reach the edge of the plain and approach....
Comment has been collapsed.
The grasslands. Blades of grass taller than man, block your way. What matter of creatures may inhabit these grasslands, waiting to pounce on their prey. You can either turn back or move forward.
Comment has been collapsed.
I pause to consider. Since the grass would obscure the sense of sight for any man entering, I would be at a disadvantage against creatures who rely more upon sound and smell. Even if a settlement existed I would never know unless the inhabitants wanted me to find it. Which seemed unlikely if they'd be living hidden in the grass. And while a short trek might take me through to friendlier lands, it might also extend for hundreds of miles.
I decide to follow the edge of the grass and head generally north (based on the position of the sun). If attack comes I can seek cover in the grass, but I still have a clear view across the plain to see it coming on side. Or to see a settlement.
Comment has been collapsed.
You move along the edge of the grass. The edge ends when you find yourself face to face with a mountain wall. You can enter the grass or turn back.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's almost as if a higher power wants me to enter the grass. I'm weary and dehydrated, so I start pushing my way into the mass of grass. At least if I die my corpse will have some cover from carrion feeders.

You enter the tall grass. It rustles as you part it, making your way deeper and deeper, keeping the sun as a way-point. You stop for a minute to adjust your footing, when you hear a rustle behind you.

After that I carefully approach the outpost trying to see if it has some kind of banners or something I can match with with either of the sides that fell on the battlefield.

Tired of playing mr. nice guy with these guys and their atrocious PoW treatment I decide to break out.
I wait until the guard's patrol brings him close enough to my cell. I stick my arm out and strangle him by crushing his throat, I use my other hand to cover his mouth so he can't scream for help. I open the Cell door with the keys from his pocket.
I switch clothes and armor with the dead guard and leave him in my cell. Before I step outside I try to find a window I can peek through to scout the camp and possible obstacles.

You strangle the guard and as you begin to switch armors, you are discovered. The soldier pulls out his weapon and tells you to lie down with your hands on your head.

As they're unlikely to leave me unharmed after killing one of their colleagues my only chance at survival is taking out the enemy guard before he raises the alarm.
I quickly grab the dead guard's armored chest piece and throw it as hard as I can. I don't even wait for it to hit and immediately grab the dead guard's sword and charge.

The chest piece hits the guard square on his back and falls to the ground with a clang. The guard stumbles but does not fall. You charge towards him, knocking him off his feet with using sheer strength.

Without giving the Guard time to recover I slit his throat. I quickly finish changing my armor. Despite my disguise I don't want to risk running into another patrol. I grab a nearby torch and set the wooden roof ablaze. I quickly run outside yelling that there's a fire in the prison building and that there are still guards inside.
I ask the nearest guards to warn our commanding officer while I go gather people to help put out the fire.
Comment has been collapsed.
You change into the armor. It's a size too small but you make do. You awkwardly run outside and warn the guards while recruiting people to extinguish the blaze. As you return with people, carrying buckets of sand, you see that the blaze has spread to the residential district. Several dozen huts are ablaze and cries of help can be heard from within. The guards are unable to mitigate the spread of the fire and it soon engulfs the market district, trapping more innocent bystanders within.
Comment has been collapsed.
While this would be the perfect opportunity to escape I would never be able to forgive myself if I left these people to die.
Against my better judgement I decide to help. I grab a nearby bucket of water and drench myself. While running towards the huts I also rip a piece of cloth for a makeshift mask against the smoke.
I enter while staying as low as I can.
Comment has been collapsed.
You enter one of the huts. Visibility is low to none. All you see is thick, black smoke. The cries for help can barely be heard over the roar of the fire. Despite, trying to stay low, black smoke finds its way into your lungs and you violently cough. There are two adjoining rooms. One is blocked by a fallen beam, the other remains relatively open though partially blocked by flames.
Comment has been collapsed.
I assume the reason the people couldn't leave the hut on their own was the fallen beam blocking the entrance. I tighten the rag i'm using as a mask and start moving the beam with all my strength.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your head spins as lack of oxygen begins to set in. You use all your strength to move the beam but it doesn't budge an inch. No voices can be heard from inside anymore. You are about to pass out. But then you hear a baby crying in the adjacent room.
Comment has been collapsed.
I muster all my strength and I jump roll through the part of the door with the least flames. I suffer some minor burns but I don't even notice them due to the adrenaline and pain in my lungs. Since I probably can't take much more smoke I'm forced to crawl over the ground towards the sound of the crying.
When I reach the baby I notice its oddly unharmed, it fell on the floor so it was probably spared from most of the smoke. I don't even bother looking back at the door I came through as there's no way I could get the baby through that sea of flames and I'm already forced to crawl thanks to the smoke.
I desperately search for another way out.
Comment has been collapsed.
You grab the baby and remain ducked down. It is difficult to see anything through the thick, black smoke. However, you see a closed window.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are no words to describe my relief at finding a window. The water I drenched myself with before entering vaporized long ago and the heat was becoming unbearable. I don't even check whether the window is closed or not and punch straight through it. The glass was cheap and easily shattered but left a few cuts on my fist. I jump through while shielding the baby and land on the dirt outside. Its a good thing these huts didn't have multiple floors.
I don't even have the time to praise myself lucky at making it out with just some burns and scratches as I have to spend a full minute violently coughing and trying to catch my breath.
I step back and asses the situation, wondering at which huts had been evacuated already and how far the fire has spread.
Comment has been collapsed.
You stand up with baby in your arms. The baby is crying quite loudly, obviously shaken from the ordeal. You look around and find most of the huts have burned down to the ground. Upon inquiry, you discover that only 13 people were evacuated from the huts, from a total of 146. The rest are presumed to have perished. The market district has not fared much better with loss of over 200 lives. The fire has been brought under control and authorities are looking into the source of this catastrophe. The people are struck with grief.
Comment has been collapsed.
I ask around, asking if the people of the hut I was in had any relatives who could take care of the baby or an orphanage.

The authorities direct you towards the orphanage and tell you to talk to Nurse Violet.

I head for the orphanage. When I arrive there I ask a young woman in front of the building who is tending to the orphans where I can find Miss Violet.

It turns out the young woman is Nurse Violet. She has set up a triage in front of the hospital and is using the orphanage as a second base to treat patients as the hospital no longer has enough space. She hurriedly asks you where you're hurt.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll be fine with some quick disinfection and small bandages. I tell her the reason I came here was for the baby I rescued from one of the huts. It's parents probably perished and I could find no relatives in the chaos.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nurse Violet directs you to another nurse for bandages. As for the baby, well, she looks at her and tells you that you can leave her here. But without her parents, she'll probably end up falling into the bad life or dead.
Comment has been collapsed.
I ask her what good an orphanage is that cannot take care of its children and what the reason for its sad state is.
I think to myself that I'll be facing a dilemma depending on her answer. I didn't risk life and limb for this girl to end up a criminal, prostitute or dead in the gutter. But I also can't stay in this town for much longer, the girl is not a newborn but still very much a baby and hard to travel with.
Comment has been collapsed.
The nurse does not like your attitude and tells you that people here are poor as it is. Jobs are scarce and kids leave the system at 18, an age at which no one is willing to hire them. It's the same everywhere. She asks that if you're done with your holier-than-thou attitude, you need to decide what to do.
Comment has been collapsed.
At this point I care very little about what the Nurse thinks of my attitude, this hellhole has brought me nothing but trouble so far. I decide to take care of the baby for now as I couldn't leave her anywhere near this place with a clear conscience.
After getting my wounds taken care of I check my pockets and find a few coins. I can't tell how much it's worth but considering my outfit's previous owner I figure it's barely enough for a drink or two and maybe a shot at a game of cards.
With the baby in tow I head to the shopping district to see if I can find something for the trip to the nearest town.
Comment has been collapsed.
You enter the market district or what's left of it. Guards and survivor move around trying to salvage something from the wreckage. Most go away disappointed, while some find a charred body or a familiar face that shows no emotion, and are overtaken by grief. As you keep looking for a caravan to take away from this place, the baby begins to cry.
Comment has been collapsed.
While trying to calm her I notice a looter spreading out his finds on a piece of cloth. Most of it looks like trash or burnt but I inspect his wares and prices nonetheless.
Comment has been collapsed.
The looter has nothing of value, basically heirlooms or possessions that he intends to sell to their original owners at an exorbitant price. You do see, a ruby ring shining among the trash that he has.
Comment has been collapsed.
Though curious about the ring I'm more concerned with items that have immediate value for the road ahead. It's also not likely the looter would part with it for the meager amount of money I posses.
I decide to keep on searching and see some guards up ahead handing out pieces of bread and blankets, although it looks like there's a huge line. I don't have the time to wait out the line and it doesn't look like there's enough for everyone in line as it is.
The baby looks old enough to digest some solid food, I could probably feed her some of the soft bread parts for now.
I decide it's worth a shot to try abusing my uniform while I still can. I walk past the line of people and I address one of the Guards, telling him I need a piece of bread and a blanket to keep this orphan alive.
Comment has been collapsed.
The guard looks at you, his expression hard as stone. When his eyes fall on the baby, and somwthing within him softens and he smiles. He orders the other guard to get some bread, milk and a blanket.
Comment has been collapsed.
Relieved, I take it and move out of the crowd and sit down on a bench, still thankful for the guard's generosity. I carefully feed the baby some of the milk, take a few bites of bread and put the leftovers away. It's not much but it should keep the hunger away next time we need to eat.
Now that's taken care of I need to start finding a way out of this place. I discreetly start finding out if there's either a town close-by or if we're going to have to travel with a Caravan..
Comment has been collapsed.
You discover that this town is close to the coast and there are several fishing towns nearby. You can also travel by caravan to the city of Mitri. Though, you must hurry as spots are filling up. A mass of exodus of people has begun following the fire. You also learn that the guards have discovered that a prisoner escaped, stole a guard's uniform and is the cause of this devestation. The guards have begun search and the captain is checking every guard to find the traitor. Posters with your information and picture have also been posted.
Comment has been collapsed.
It appears things are settling down a bit and I'm about to overstay my welcome. I grab the blanket from my pouch and use it as a makeshift poncho to hide the guard's armor, it looks kinda tacky but doesn't really stand out among the refugees.
Upon further inquiry I find out that the Caravan to Mitri will be escorted half-way by the City Guard after which the protection of the Caravan will be taken over by Mercenaries.Though I figure that Mitri will be my best bet to find care for the girl I'm not eager to take anymore risks with the Guards.
Apparently the half-way point is a Mountain pass settlement where the Caravan will resupply and the Guards will return. To circumvent this I decide to take different route to this settlement, using some of the nearby fishing villages and inns as my resting points. Its a much longer path than the Caravan will take but since they're only as fast as the slowest part of the Caravan I should have ample time to make it there.
I hurriedly leave town and as I come to the edge of the village I see a long dirt road stretched before me, if I set out now I should be able to make the nearest settlement before nightfall.
I take a brief moment to see how the girl is doing and start travelling down the road before me.
Comment has been collapsed.
The girl, now properly nourished, has fallen asleep. You start your journey down the dirt part. Your pace is not as fast as you expected. Night falls before you reach the village. Only a few miles to go though. As you push forward, the baby wakes up. She looks at you with big, blue eyes as if trying to gauge you. As you walk into your 3rd of journey, you hear wolves howl nearby.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cursing my luck I decide that there's no use trying to make a run for it. Not to mention the sound of me trying to awkwardly run with the girl on my arm would be the same as ringing a giant dinner bell for those wolves.
I pick up a rock from the roadside and pocket it. Sadly, the guards of the previous village didn't carry any actual weapons with them aside from a small baton, so I'm left with just my rock and a glorified stick.
As I keep moving towards the village I hear howling again and I quicken my pace a little. I can't see any wolves yet but I'm sure that if they notice me they can close whatever gap is between us in moments.
All I can do for now is walk as the village is still too far to make a dash.
Comment has been collapsed.
You jog on the path, the rocking movement soothes the baby. She falls asleep again. As yo jog, you see shadows sprint by you. They are not human shadows. You hear feet planting and gripping the ground. You hear a growl.

The wolves are blocking the road before me and are about to circle around me. I just passed a big boulder on the road so I make a sudden 180 degree turn and dash towards it. My sudden sprint barely fazes the wolves but it woke the girl up and she starts crying.
I barely make the boulder in time but I realize there's no way I could climb it, much less with a baby in my arm. The Wolves have easily caught up and have formed half a circle, putting me quite literally with my back against the wall. At least they can't attack me from behind. I grab the rock from my pocket and throw it at the closest wolf, it hits it straight on the nose and it falls down howling in pain. I yell loudly, grab my baton and start swinging it around menacingly, wolves never risk injury to it's pack members for prey so my actions should have made me more trouble than I'm worth.
These wolves don't appear to have gotten the memo however and keep inching closer towards me.
Comment has been collapsed.
The wolves clearly find strength in numbers and seeing their prey caught between rock and hard place, they creep closer and closer. You see no way of escape, until an arrow pierces one of the wolves hind leg. It yelps in pain, the other wolves looking around with bewilderment, as more arrows rain down upon them. Soon, most of the wolves are gone or dead. From a distance, you see 3 men approaching.
Comment has been collapsed.
I take a deep breath, the girl is still crying. I thought I was gone for sure. The archers must be incredible because I can barely see them in this darkness.
I walk towards them and as I come closer I notice only one of the men is carrying a bow, amazed, I shout ''nice shooting!''
The first thing I do when I enter talking range is thank them for saving us.
I ask them who they are.
Comment has been collapsed.
You see the men, wearing the same armor as you. City guards. They haven't seen your armor yet but they're wondering why a man and baby are traveling alone, at this time of night. They tell you that they're looking for an arsonist. The lead guards asks another guard for the poster. Lucky for you, the junior guard forgot it. The lead guard curses his incompetence, bringing his attention back to you, waiting for an answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
I tell the guard that my house burned down during the fire and the baby belonged to my neighbors. Sadly, I was only able to save the baby, leaving her an orphan. I considered leaving her at the orphanage but as I didn't want her ending up like the rest of the orphans I decided to take care of her myself and start anew in one of the nearby villages, though I underestimated the amount of time it would take me to get to the nearest one.
I tell the guards I had heard that an arsonist was responsible for the fire, though I assumed he would take the caravan out of the city as it would be easier to hide among such a large group of people. Though I tell him I'm glad they searched this way or the baby and I would have been dead.
I ask them if they're heading back or if they're gonna keep searching at night.

The guards decide to escort you to the village. The baby is asleep. As you move, the guards walk behind you, muttering something to each other. You try to catch some words exchanged between them but fail to hear them.

Though I would have preferred for them to head back to the city there's nothing I can do about it now.
Thankfully, the village wasn't that far away anymore and it's coming up in the distance. The word ''village'' may be a bit of an overstatement as it looks more like a small settlement, though I'm glad to see it nonetheless.
As we approach it I thank the guards again for all they've done for me, after all I owe them our lives.

At least I'm safe for now, if they were certain of their suspicions they could have brought me back to the city if they wanted.
Still, I'd rather not take any chances. I'll rest for now and make sure we leave before dawn just in case they decide to come back tomorrow.
My attention goes to the sleeping baby, I was hoping to find her a home here but I don't have the time to stick around this place sadly. I'm guessing I should think of a name for her if I can't find a foster family soon.
For now, I decide to rest for what's left of the night.
Comment has been collapsed.
You sleep in the bed, the baby at your side. Your sleep is restless, racked with nightmares of the fire. Racked with guilt. You wake up, sweating. Your sudden movement wakes the baby up. She does not cry but looks at you, with mirth. She laughs at you for some reason. You hear a knock on your door.
Comment has been collapsed.
I look out of the window, the sun hasn't set yet but we should probably move out soon. I pick up the girl and cradle her, with all that's been happening I haven't been able to give her all that much attention.
whoever's at the door decides to knock again, I sigh and tell the person the door is unlocked and they can come in.

I smile and thank her for her concern, I tell her my nightmares are because of the fire that happened in the city and that I rescued the girl there. Her parents perished in the fire though so I decided I wanted to find a good home for her.

I eat a few spoonfuls but I'm not very hungry at this hour and since Maya turned her head away at a second sip of milk I decide to leave the rest on the counter and grab my stuff.
I would have liked to thank her for her generosity but it's almost dawn and I want to have left the village by then just to be on the safe side.
I step out of the Inn and try to orient myself and see which paths lead out of the village.

You step out of the inn. Dawn is almost about to break. You look around and see a few paths leading away. One to the market, one to the armory, one to the hospital, one to the gates, among others. But before, you can discern which path leads where, a hand is placed on your shoulder. You turn around to see the lead guard standing behind you, two guards manning his sides.
Lead Guard: "You can't leave. You're under arrest for murder of countless innocent people, murder of a city guard, impersonation of a city guard, kidnapping, and arson. You have the right...."
As he reads you your rights, one of the guards takes Maya and the other pulls out his cuffs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Gritting my teeth, I consider my options.
I'm at a loss though as I can't fight back against three armed men and fleeing is no option either as they have Maya.
They must have stayed in the village as it would have been impossible to travel back and forth from the city this fast. Something doesn't feel right however, I cannot wrap my head around why they would let me stay at the village inn and even escorted me there. If they had any suspicions they could have just arrested me to be sure.
As I'm about to speak up, both the young woman and the innkeepers's wife come out of the inn to see what the ruckus is all about.

I am finally victorious! After slaughtering the entire enemy army single-handedly, I sit down and have a nice snack, and try to remember why I had to kill all of these men.

I look down at the Klondike™ Bar in my hands, and it all comes flooding back to me. They tried to take it! I was travelling alone, giant flaming holy sword upon my back, travelling to the Sexy abbey, where I would become leader, when the leader of this army came upon me, and demanded my delicious Klondike™ Bar!

Comment has been collapsed.
I quickly mix up a mana potion from the beer and drink it.
SOORY FOR BEING 3 MONTHS LATE
Comment has been collapsed.
You somehow manage to turn the bitter home brew into an even more bitter mana potion. It works. Your mana is recharged.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!

Using past mistakes as reference, I again attempt to summon an elephant.
Comment has been collapsed.
Run away while the flesh-eaters are killed by the elephant.
Comment has been collapsed.
You leave the elephant to fend off the undead. You turn around when you hear violent trumpeting, to see the elephant being devoured by the horde. The elephant is dead before you can turn back around. Luckily, the undead seem to have forgotten about you.
Comment has been collapsed.
You run away as fast as you can, tears speckle your eyes, as you remember your favorite elephant. You manage to get away. After hours of endless walking, you see a hut.
Comment has been collapsed.
You unsheathe your dagger and slowly inch towards the door. Your steps are light, silent. You peer in through the window, only to be greeted by a wall of darkness. It is dark outside and no light inside the hut. You wonder whether you should risk entering the hut after what you just encountered at the market.
Comment has been collapsed.
Skip the hut and keep walking towards The Kingdom of Come-Passe.
Comment has been collapsed.
You decide that entering the hut is not worth the risk. You decide to head to the campus of Come-Passe. You begin walking but shortly realize that you have no idea in which direction the city lies.

Wait this thread is alive again!? what necromancer did you call!? wasnt it dave right? fucking dave always stealing my clients..
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it was Dave. He was quite polite and nice and he gave me a family and friends discount.

You see a large plain field, covered with many corpses, some human, some... not. The field in places is burned and trees have fallen. As you stand there, surveying the battlefield, you feel a sense of loneliness and despair.
Comment has been collapsed.
You find an assortment of broken weapons, damaged armor and decapitated body parts.
You also find :
- A notched spear
- 32 coins
- Loaf of bread
- Empty water skin
Comment has been collapsed.
You take the four items and head west. You keep on trekking until you reach a hut. It begins to rain.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is a normal one room hut. There is a table, stove and 2 chairs. On your left lies a wooden cupboard and a trunk. On your right lies a window.
Comment has been collapsed.
It contains:
- parchments x 12
- a quill
- dried ink
- money bag
- some clothes
Comment has been collapsed.
Grab everything,change clothes and jump throw the window.
Comment has been collapsed.
You take all the equipment, change out of your battle armor, don clothes that are too small for you and jump through the glass window. You land on the hard ground, pieces of glass sticking in you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Take off as many glass as I can and switch back to my battle armor. Then head west.
Comment has been collapsed.
You shrug off as much glass as you can, injuring your hands in the process. Bleeding, you re-enter the cottage switch back to your armor and head west. You keep on moving until you find your path blocked by a ravine. There is rickety bridge that grants passage across or you could turn back.
Comment has been collapsed.
You step onto the bridge, testing its strength. You hold your breath as you take each step lightly. As you place your left foot forward, the rotten plank crumbles under your weight and your foot falls through.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tie the clothes togheter and then into the spear, then throw the spear and try to stick it in the other side the ravine in order to make a more stable bridge.
Comment has been collapsed.
You throw the spear. You fall short of the other side and spear falls between the planks on the bridge. The bridge crumbles further and you slip down further.
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to pull yourself up. The added force causes the bridge to give way and you fall into the ravine. You fall into a shallow river. You have broken your armor. Your spear lies on the bank.
Comment has been collapsed.
You get up, still shaken, and move west along the bank. You reach a fork in the river. Left or right?
Comment has been collapsed.
You go left and continue walking down the bank. After a while, you see that both forks converge at the same point. You wonder whether any of your choices actually matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to kill yourself with the spear but you miss and the spear flies out of your hands and into the river, flowing away with the rapid current. You are incompetent.
Comment has been collapsed.
Jump in the river and try to drown, thus ending my meaningless existence.
Comment has been collapsed.
You jump in the river and are swept away. You are thrown back onto the bank. It seems fate is not willing to kill you.
Comment has been collapsed.
You walk for a while before the sun goes down. You need to find shelter. A forest such as this is no place to traverse at night.
Comment has been collapsed.
You do not have a spear, you lost it during your ill-conceived suicide attempt.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sleep in the floor and cover myself with all I own.
Comment has been collapsed.
You cover yourself with the old clothes you found in the old hut. They do not provide much protection from the wind.
Comment has been collapsed.
You wait for hours as you freeze. You somehow fall into a restless sleep. You wake up and somehow you're even more tired than before. It is morning.
Congratulations, you also have PNEUMONIA.
Comment has been collapsed.
The place is the same as when you slept. Nothing has changed. You sneeze and realize that you should find civilization soon or you'll die of the sniffles.
Comment has been collapsed.
Start walking to a random direction in hope of findind someone.
Comment has been collapsed.
You walk towards the gate. You try to enter but are stopped by the guards.
"Halt! What business do you have in the city of Vigil?
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to ask for water, but discover that barely a sound escapes you. You faint shortly after. You wake up to find yourself in a room. There is a window to your right, with sunlight streaming in. There is a chair and table, nearby. You try to get up and find that you can't move your arms. You are in a strait jacket.
Comment has been collapsed.
You scream at the top of your lungs. Your voice echoes around the room, bouncing of the walls. There is no reply.
Comment has been collapsed.
Several hours pass. The sky outside darkens. No one comes. You suddenly hear a rattle at the door. A compartment slides open and food and water is pushed in, before the compartment slides shut.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since your hands are restrained, you dive face-first into your food and eat as much as you can. You manage to get most of it on your face. You then sleep. You wake up to find it is morning and the plate of food is gone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Continue doing so until I'm cured of the PNEUMONIA.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your pneumonia will not abate without proper medication. It is getting worse with each passing day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Try to dislock my shoulder in order to scape the strait jacket, like I saw in a movie once.
Comment has been collapsed.
You remember seeing such an operation in a vision, you try it and dislocate your shoulder. It hurts a lot but you are free.
Comment has been collapsed.
(OCC: OH MY GOD, REALLY?! FRIGGIN AWESOME!)
Try to get the shoulder back to where it originally was and then jump through the window.
Comment has been collapsed.
You try to pop it back in but can't. It hurts and each try makes it worse. The window is barred. When did that happen?
Comment has been collapsed.
You try the door, expecting it to be locked. You turn the knob.
POP
The door knob falls out of the door.
Comment has been collapsed.
You back up a little to allow for some momentum. You run towards the run and kick the door. It does not budge. You hurt your foot. The door reverberates with a clang.
Comment has been collapsed.
You walk through the door and bang your face into it. You manage to determine that this is a solid steel door. Your cacophonous door music manages to bring about a guard. He tells you to shut up. As soon as he backs off the door opens. A woman in armor enters the room.
"What is your business here? We found you near the gates, dehydrated and delusional."
Comment has been collapsed.
You find yourself in an open plain surrounded by signs of an epic battle.
