The man does not sit down nor does he drink. It seems serious. He motions you to follow as he slips into a backroom. As you enter, he presses a seemingly random brick in a the wall. It falls in and he inserts his hand. Shortly after the wall slides, revealing a hidden room behind. Shelves line the wall, brimming with knowledge, and a table is in the centre, swathed with maps and charts. Another door leads off somewhere. He climbs a ladder near one of the shelves, looking for something. You stand by, waiting.

Say nothing and wait next to the table, closely examining the maps and charts.
Glance at the suspicious man, asking if he requires assistance looking for something.

The man does not respond. He seems lost in his search. He tells you to make yourself comfortable, as he pulls out a large sheet of paper. He pushes everything off of the table down to the floor and places the sheet on it. He hands you a red book with black, elegant writing on its cover.
"Read the book. It'll help pass the time and maybe you'll understand why I brought you here."
You look at the book. The title reads "The Few Among Us. A descriptive analysis on the gifted by Charles Welsh.

Comment has been collapsed.
You try to converse with the man but he does not respond. He seems lost in his own world.
You read the book which starts with the story of the Wilted. These Wilted were once part of a great group of mages who fought off the demons that lived behind the Veil. Many centuries ago, the Veil was badly damaged causing the entry of the demonic into this world. The mages fought but they were being steadily overwhelmed. The situation was bleak, when 5 mages stepped forth and went out to search for the gems of Aetheria. These gems are said to possess great power. Months passed, without sign of the mages, and the demons stood at the threshold of the Citadel, the haven of the mages, ready to destroy them. As the demons broke down the door, the mages appeared in a blaze of light. The 5 drove the demons back and repaired the Veil. The Citadel rejoiced at the victory, not knowing that the power of the gems of Aetheria had had an effect on the 5. They were corrupted. They believed themselves to be above mere humanity. But some part of them, the part that still possessed light, forced them to go into exile, to prevent anything bad from happening. Thus, the 5 left for exile, ultimately separating and living normal, humble lives. The gems were still in their possession and their power was embedded into the beings themselves. Now, their few descendants, known as the Wilted, possess great power and thus great responsibility. They carry a mark with them, revealed with proper incantations.
The man yells, "Voila!", obviously finding what he was looking for and runs into the other room.
Comment has been collapsed.
Remain silent from the brevity of the situation.
With a sullen face, look over to the stranger.
Close the book, followed with a deep breath. Place the book on the table and follow the man into the unknown room.
Ask despondently, "What... what did you want with me?"
Comment has been collapsed.
He stares at you with surprise. "Did you read the book? Did you understand what it said?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Respond cynically, "Understand? Sure, I understood there's evil stuff out there and some best of the best mages ended the threat. But do I understand what's going on now or why I'm here or how truly powerful the mages are, or the gems, or the demons? No on all accounts."
Shift forward, speaking sternly, "But I'm ready to understand if you're ready to teach me."
Comment has been collapsed.
"To learn, you need to first understand what you are. That book wasn't just light reading. Wait foe a few minutes, while prepare the incantations. Then, you'll know why I called you."
He digs through the rows of shelves containing strange herbs and other materials. From individual containers, he takes single items crushing them in a mortar and pestle. He continues to speak while he does this.
"I know you don't remember but you've seen me before. It may have been a passing glance, but our paths have crossed before. I, first, saw you at a bar at evening. I didn't pay much attention to you, until I saw the bartender staring at you. I looked and I saw a marker on your neck. You left before I could talk to you, but I realized that you're one of the few off-springs. Your mark appearing without any incantation shows that something is wrong. But to unlock your power, the mark needs to become a permanent addition."
He lights a torch and places it in the middle of the room.
"It's ready. It's your choice. If I read the incantation, the mark is revealed and you will now why I brought you here. It will hurt though. Or you can leave now. I won't follow."
Comment has been collapsed.
Place both hands on face, rubbing mouth and chin before speaking slowly, "What's the great responsibility if I accept such power? What do you gain from me doing this?"
Rise slowly from the chair, adopting a slight accusatory tone, "Why does it matter to you, and why would you bother helping a complete stranger?"
Begin pointing at the man, stern intonation overtaking, "If I am one of those things, then WHO ARE YOU!?"
Comment has been collapsed.
"I was a friend of your mother's. Together we learned a lot about magic. About what and you are. I know I've been withholding information. But rest assured, you'll know everything soon enough. Your power is beyond imagination. Only a few people have access to it and what they decide to do with it is what sets them apart. There is a war going on. Two nations fighting for supremacy. Others like you have taken sides, but they do not know the power that they wield. The gems that gave them their abilities are now defunct, useless. Those gems, according to ancient lore, belonged to a powerful demon. Many of the chosen are in the process of forming connection, gaining power to summon Belthar into this world; to start the end. You are to restore balance. You ask who I am. Why I do this. I am your father."
Comment has been collapsed.
Trying to recall memories of my youth turn up empty, blank... meaningless.
"I am to restore balance? How would I be able to do this against so many others like me?"
Father... my father? How...
Sit back down into the chair, leaning back with a loud sigh, rubbing eyes, followed by scruffing up hair.
Face 'Father', speaking with a bitter tone, "Let's get started."
Comment has been collapsed.
The man looks at you. He leaves the room for a few seconds and comes back with a picture. Silently, he hands it to you. It is an old faded photo of a man and a woman standing in front of a cherry blossom tree in bloom. The woman is holding a baby in her arms.
"Your mother was beautiful. But more than that, she was smart and kind. I miss her so much. She was like you. One of the descendants. Not as powerful as you, but still strong. She set out to restore balance. She was murdered by one of the chosen. Finish what she started."
"Ready?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Place right index finger on the woman's face, rubbing slightly, moving downward to the cradled infant. Examine the male in the figure closely, before looking back up to 'Father'; comparing the likeness.
With a touch of melancholy, utter softly, "Doesn't sound like I have much of a choice; even if I can't remember either of you, I'll do what I can to make things right."
Comment has been collapsed.
"Good. I'll start the incantation. It will reveal the Mark of Power. It will hurt but every chosen has to go through it. Even your mother. Here."
He hands you a leather band to bite down on. He spreads a bedding on the floor.
"It helps. Lie down when you're ready."
Comment has been collapsed.
Take the band, placing it in mouth, biting down a few times to get a "comfortable" position.
Sigh deeply before resting upon the bedding, nodding to the man to begin the incantation.
Comment has been collapsed.
The man mutters words that you cannot comprehend and the items in the pestle ignite with a black flame.
"Practe Bigi Nar "Ardescat"
He places the burning pestle beside your head. He takes a deep sigh and begins the second set of incantations.
"Se Dissolvant Circumstantia Falsa!"
The flames leap out of the pestle and onto your neck. The flames sear patterns into your flesh, revealing the mark. After several excrutiating minutes, he stops.
"It is done. You are now Chosen."
Comment has been collapsed.
Try to focus on the symbols swarming into head, slowly uttering "Mater... m-musarum, mnemo... syne... ad se... me a-alliciat..."
Slowly sit up, rubbing the fresh "tattoo".
Look towards the man, asking "What.. Gaaahhhh that hurt! What were all those symbols? How am I able to translate them into words?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Vigil drains the contents of the pestle.
"The Chosen have a language of their own. A kind of mother tongue which they use to harness power and cast spells. It's called Kha'nishan. Your mother taught it to me. The incantation itself was in Kha'nishan."
He puts some herbs into the pestle after rinsing it with water. Using the mortar, he makes a paste. He hands it you.
"Rub it on the mark. The salve should alleviate the pain. Since, your mark is now active, you can draw from the powers beyond the Veil. You knew the language but to understand it, you need the mark."
Comment has been collapsed.
"Kha'nishan? How do words harness power like that? I can just say anything, and it will happen?"
Start slathering on the paste, sighing in relief as the burning sensation begins to cool.
Raise an eyebrow at the man, "Veil? Wasn't it closed? Or did the mages simply restrict the demons from re-entering our world?"
Comment has been collapsed.
"The words are like spells. Novices use words to conjure spirits, elementals and use the elements themselves. With practice, one can perform all of these without words and simply use the mind. As for the Veil, it is closed but it's influence is not lost. Those that want Belthar to return to this world, can open the Veil again. They need great power but any Chosen can attain that level of power with enough practice and shards of the lost gems. Even now, some of the Chosen have gathered cultist mages around them and proceed to open small rifts that allow entry of low level demons and the undead. Once in a while, however, one of them manages to summon a greater demon and all hell breaks lose."
Comment has been collapsed.
"Belthar? I don't remember that name from the book you showed me."
Shake head solemnly with all the overwhelming information, stuttering, "I.. I-i don't even KNOW what you expect me to do. There are those like me that already have armies or, or, or these... PEOPLE, that are willing to give up their lives like that?"
Begin shaking head more violently, growing more exasperated, "D-d-demons? Undead? How... h-how am I, one person that knows nothing and just learned about this today, going to hope to... to..."
Quietly mutter to self, both hands gripping at hair and face, one hand beginning to rub the mark vigorously.
With tears welling up, look at Vigil... 'Father', pleading, "Wha... what can I do? How can you expect me to do all this alone? I'm only one person..."
Comment has been collapsed.
"I never said you were alone. Yes, there are chosen out there that have already amassed armies and power. Some even sit on thrones, kings of smaller counties. But there are also those out there, who wait in the darkness. Chosen who oppose the return of the Belthar, who wait for allies. You are not alone, not as long as I am with you. Tomorrow, we leave for Mitheas. I have a friend there who can set us on the right path. Go back to your room at the inn and rest. I'll meet you in the morning."
Comment has been collapsed.
Quietly and reluctantly follow Father's orders; making sure to try to cover up the new scar on neck with clothing.
Stop by the library to uncover any further information on Belthar, the Chosen, Kha'nishan language, and Mitheas. Take whatever findings back to room at the inn for review, before trying to rest for the evening; fighting insomnia and night terrors from the earlier encounter and the uncertain future ahead.
Try to focus on the image of mother for respite.
Comment has been collapsed.
You dress the mark on the neck with a black scarf your father left for you. You set out to the library to find answers but all you find are vague references to Belthar and the Chosen. You find some hypothetical research on the Kha'nishan since the Chosen have not made themselves public. It speaks of several words of power that can shake the earth and rain fire. You give the library's scribe to make copies for you, which you take home to review.
As you enter the room, you see an envelope lying on the desk, addressed to you.
Comment has been collapsed.
You open the envelope and tilt it over your hand. A single photograph falls onto your hand. It's another photo of your mother holding you as a child. On the back is an inscription.

Hold the photograph to chest for a moment, closing eyes; struggle to recall any memories of mother... all for naught, as only blank emptiness fills inner thoughts.
Shake head, looking around the room, anxiety creeping up back as whom would have placed this envelope.

You lay on your bed, listening. Nothing but silence greets you. Oddly enough, the market doesn't even seem as noisy.
Unknowing, you drift into sleep. Your slumber is plagued with vague dreams of your mother and father. Behind them looms a giant shadow with eyes as red as rubies. The shadow gets bigger and bigger, until you lose sight of your parents. Your cries go unheeded.
You wake up with a gasp, covered in cold sweats. Your heart beating wildly. You calm yourself and discover that it is morning.

Prepare belongings; head outside the inn to look for Father.
Comment has been collapsed.
You pack a knapsack and leave your room. You head out into the lobby and clear any dues that remain. You step onto the street. As you do so, you are buffeted with the noise on the street. It seems you had forgotten how noisy the market actually is. The sun is shining but it isn't too hot. It's a good day to travel. You look around for your father and spot him, haggling with a merchant over a leather bag. As you move towards him, you see him hand the merchant some money, before lifting the bag. He sees you approaching and greets you. Wordlessly, he leads you to two horses, tied in the shade.
"I hope you know how to ride."
Comment has been collapsed.
Shrug your shoulders, "I can't remember the last time I've ridden one, if ever but might as well learn how now."
Place the bags over the horse's saddle and follow Father's lead to mount the horse.
"Ready when you are."
Comment has been collapsed.
Your father spurs his horse and sets out in a gallop, leaving you behind in the dust. You quickly follow, trying to match his pace, as both of you exit the city, headed for Mitheas.
Several hours pass, during which you fall off of your horse thrice, before your father decides to make camp. You find yourself on the northern face of Teary Mountains, behind which lies Mitheas. You wonder why the mountains are Teary Mountains. You receive your answer when heavy rain begins to fall and electricity lights up the night sky. Your father manages to find a depression in the mountain wall, where you are protected from the wind and rain. Thunder booms loudly, echoing off of the walls.
"It seems we'll be here for a few days. I had hoped that we had left the rains behind when I set off. I guess the clouds have one more good shower in them. Get comfortable. Rains on the Teary Mountains last for days. The longest lasted for 2 weeks."
Comment has been collapsed.
Rest uneasily against the shallow cavernous wall; pull cloak over shoulders and across chest to maintain warmth.
"Glad I got a hang of the horse...", comment quietly whilst rubbing various joints, "... I don't think I could've taken another fall without injury."
Stare towards the sky, admiring the lights dancing across the enveloping dark skies. "Teary Mountains, huh? Guess it makes sense. Seems strange for the weather to last so long though, is there a body of water nearby?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Your father curls up in his cloak and nods off. Before drifting off, he tells you to not light a fire under any circumstances. Thunder booms and lightning brightens the sky. You wonder how your father can sleep through all this noise. The rain shows no signs of letting up. You wonder whether you should try to sleep or maybe look around.
Sorry for the late reply.
Comment has been collapsed.
Contemplate surveying outside, but the thought of any kind of warmth would fade with the monsoon-like weather and lack of heat. Lightning doesn't seem exactly appealing either.
Stare at the sleeping man for a moment, wondering how he must be used to this sort of 'adventuring' as though he were born in the wilderness. Curl up even harder, trying to prove self to 'Father' and focus on thoughts of sleeping through this madness.
Sorry for even later reply; moving & issues with ISP.

You curl up close to the wall under your cloak. But the cloak might as well have been made from paper, as the cold seeps into your bones. You begin to shiver. After what seems like an eternity, you drift off to a dreamless sleep.
You awake to the sounds of thunder. You open your eyes slowly and see a thick wall of water falling. You wonder whether it's the same day or the next. The rain doesn't show any sign of letting up. You feel dreary and cold. You look around and find that your father is gone.

I set about making a crude lean-to with branches I remove from the trees while at the same time gathering as much dry wood as I can find.

Well crap! I guess I was unlucky earlier when I was looting the battlefield and came up with nothing. This is turning out to be a very unlucky journey. I better check my luck skill. Perhaps I need to add a few points there.

The woman looks at your half-eaten sandwich and back at you. The look in her eyes shows that she is considering picking up the broom and giving you a good whacking. Before, she does so, another idea pops into her head. Her hotel is immaculate. No rats or other unwanted vermin. However, you can clean the hotel in the morning. She'll let you stay in the room tonight. Though, you still need to give her the 5 coins.
Comment has been collapsed.
She takes the coins and gives you the room key. 312 is labelled on it. Third floor, second door on the right. She tells you to report to the desk at 10 in the morning. Food and drink are extra. And special "company" can be arranged for a special price.
Comment has been collapsed.
I politely tell the woman that I won't be needing "company". I go on up and examine the room closely. I open the window for some fresh air it helps me sleep.
Comment has been collapsed.
The room is simple. One bed. One table. One chair. One cupboard. The bathroom is down the hall, shared.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll eat my leftover goose and lie on the bed to wait for the rain to stop. In the early morning hours I take the bed linen and make a rope, tie it to the bed and throw it out the window. I clamber down as far as I can and carefully drop to the ground.
Comment has been collapsed.
You escape through the window. It is morning and there is a light drizzle. People are walking, going to their respective jobs. No one seems to have spotted you. The linen rope might be suspicious though.

Yikes! I realize that I've been standing here for far too long. I quickly high tail it out of town heading west in search of adventure and LOOT!
Comment has been collapsed.
You head west, trying to look inconspicuous. You exit the city, feeling smart at having dodged the rent. Until you realize your bow is missing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Darn, how'd I forget that. Oh well, it was a simple bow that was looted from the battlefield, so it should be easy to replace. As a hunter I know how to construct my own hunting weapons and I still have my trusty knife. I'll just search for suitable materials in the nearest wooded area.
Comment has been collapsed.
You move west out of the city but find no wooded areas. You wonder why as you continue to walk until the grass is replaced by sand. You are in a desert.

Must have taken a wrong turn. I back track a little ways and head north. Perhaps some traveler could give me directions.. or a spare map.
Comment has been collapsed.
You meet no traveler on your way. Unbeknownst to you, this time of the year, storms are quite common and people restrict their travels. As you ponder why there is no one around, it begins to rain.

I really need to re-roll my luck. I search for a shallow cave in the nearby hills so that I might rest and consider my options.
Comment has been collapsed.
You find a small cave in the hills. It is dark and cold, but gives you protection from the rain. There are other passages in the cave, leading off into the dark.
Comment has been collapsed.
I grab the torch from the wall and light it. I better check out these passages. Don't want nothin' sneaking up on me whilst I rest.
Comment has been collapsed.
You pick one at random and enter it. You walk for an hour before, stepping into a giant cavernous hall.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow this hall is giant and cavernous.... Wow this hall is giant and cavernous.... Wow this hall is giant and cavernous....
I ready my knife and circle the room counter clockwise looking for other exits. Wait! is that treasure I see?
Comment has been collapsed.
You run to the treasure and pick it up. It's squishy and smells. You can imagine what it is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, never mind :( I drop the "treasure" and wipe my hand on a nearby rock before returning to the edge of the cave in search of other exits.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your hands smell bad. There is only exit, the one from which you came.
Comment has been collapsed.
Woah... That's one boring cave that I had to walk an hour to get to. I think I'll just sneak back out of here and see if the rain has let up.
Comment has been collapsed.
You start moving towards the exit but before you can make it. Something lands in front of you, blocking your path. It swats with its giant hand. You fly and land against the ground. The monster roars at you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I roll to a crouch and throw dirt in its face. While it is partially blinded and temporarily distracted, I dash straight at him and then dive past at the last minute. Rolling to my feet I jump on the monsters back and plant my dagger deep into its neck.
Comment has been collapsed.
You stab at the base of its neck. Well, one of it. One of its other heads pushes you off.
Comment has been collapsed.
I use the momentum of the push to head for the exit while pressing "=" to summon my trusty horse.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your trusty steed gallops through the entrance, in all its glory. Its mane shining gold. The monster devours it. You have your chance. Escape.
Comment has been collapsed.
As the monster feasts on your equestrian companion, you manage to reach the exit of the cave. The monster roars but is unable to follow.
Comment has been collapsed.
I decide to head back to town to gather a monster hunting party. This travesty can not stand.
Comment has been collapsed.
You return to the town. Where would you like to go to gather people? The inn or the barracks?
Comment has been collapsed.
I approach the barracks and explain the situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
You enter the barracks and talk to the guard on duty. He listens to you before leaving to notify a superior. As you wait in the station, you look at the notice board, showing the sketches of wanted men. Male and female offenders whose crimes range from murder to frequent public urination. Among the criminal faces, one glares at you, seemingly familiar. Too familiar. In fact, it is you. A notice featuring your sketch is pinned on the board, describing your charges.
- Thievery
- Sexual harassment
You feel abashed. Thievery maybe. But sexual harassment?
Comment has been collapsed.
Casually stand in front of and with my back to the notice, then reach up behind, quietly pull it down, crumple it and stuff it in my pants.
Comment has been collapsed.
You rip the notice and stuff it in your pocket. The guard re-enters with the captain and asks why you've come here.
Comment has been collapsed.
I explain that there is a dangerous monster roaming about nearby that attacks people and eats horses. I suggest that the monster needs to be hunted down and killed. As a hunter I can provide tracking services for a modest fee.
Comment has been collapsed.
The captain tells you that he's aware of the monster and is sending a soldiers to deal with.
"As for your thievery and sexual harassment charge. Well, I know the inn keep put up that sex charge in spite. You'd have to blind or stupid to get involved with her? You're not stupid, right? Because you sure as hell aren't blind. As for the thievery charge, you can either pay what you owe plus a fine or go to jail for a week. If you don't have the money, you can work it off at the inn. So what will it be?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I see that you know how spiteful and sexually desperate the innkeeper acts. Well, she certainly was dangerous. I made a desperate escape after she locked me in my room and made strange sexual advancements. And you are absolutely correct, I am NOT stupid enough to get mixed up with her. I'd be more than happy to earn the extra 5 coins I owe by tracking for your soldiers, but she scares me.
Comment has been collapsed.
"The innkeeper has tongue for lying but not for what you're suggesting. Besides, you're not working off my debt, you're working of her's. So you'll be going back to the inn , under guard to work off the money. Whatever she wants. Well, not 'whatever'."
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, if you insist, but I want my bow back. And the dept was to be paid off by cleaning the inn for one morning.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Yup. Clean the inn and get a letter of recommendation from the innkeeper stating that you completed the necessary work and I'll hand it back."
Comment has been collapsed.
Uh right. No problem. I can do that. Are you sure you don't need help with that monster?
Comment has been collapsed.
"We're mounting an assault. You complete the work assigned, bring the letter and we'll talk about your help then."
Comment has been collapsed.
I give the captain a sloppy salute and head over to the inn to face the music.
Comment has been collapsed.
The innkeeper stands there, bad-mouthing the customer who dared to criticize her cooking.
"Oh. You didn't like the chicken. didja? Too dry for ya? Well, why don't you shove it up ya mother's, huh? Pretty wet there, I guess. Get out!"
She sees you enter.
"Oh, look who it is. The running pervert. Come back to ogle me some more, ya creep!"
Comment has been collapsed.
I very briefly "ogle" her and make a terrible face.
"Yea, I'm here to make good on the debt. Maybe you should have accepted my offer of a goose sandwich. Sounds like it would have made your customers more happy than your cooking."
Comment has been collapsed.
"Take your food from your filthy wanking hands? I'd choke first. Now go down to the basement and get the cleaning supplies. I want this place to shine if ya want ya letter."

You get the mop and the empty bucket. You ask for the innkeepr, Thalia, for water. She tells you to go to the lake to fetch it.
Comment has been collapsed.
(I'm surprised she didn't tell me to jump in it. I also wonder how far it is to the lake and whether I will have guards.... )
I head to the lake with the bucket.
Comment has been collapsed.
The lake is right outside town. However, monsters have been known to roam there. You get to the lake.
Roll for encounter. 1-8, you are surprised by a monster. It gets first attack. 9-15, you spot a monster. 16-20, your trek is monster-less.
I'll use random.org to roll
Drum roll
16
You luckily encounter nothing and no one. You fill your bucket and get back to the inn. You sweep until the place shines. Thalia spits on the floor once or twice but you manage to get through without murdering her. She hands over the letter with some foul-mouthing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Next stop the guard station to show them my letter and get my bow back.
I think I'll head east this time and look for some honest work.
Comment has been collapsed.
You head back to the guard station. A contingent of soldiers stands in front, preparing to assault the monster's lair. The captain sees you approaching.
"Done with the hag, huh? Good. Well, as you can see we're headin' out to deal with the monster. You can join us if ya want."
He hands you your old worn-out bow.
"If you want to join, I can get you in contact with an inventor. If ya do a good job, I'll make sure he gives you his new invention, the compound bow or you can get a crossbow. He's mass producing 'em. That'll do for payment."
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I was going to head out east, but for that type of payment I suppose I could help out. Do you have any spare armor? I'd like to be able to collect on that payment afterwards.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Check with the quartermaster. He'll find you something that fits."
The quartermaster finds a set of old armors. He recommends medium armor for your body type.
Light armor - offers little protection but greater freedom of movement and greater stealth.
Medium armor - offers better protection than light armor. Heavy strikes can still pierce the armor.
Heavy armor - offers greatest protection. Restricts movement and is noisy.
Comment has been collapsed.
The quartermaster hands over the wool armor. You seamlessly done and find it quite comfortable. You leave the armory and head to the captain. He tells you to join the main force. We'll be leaving in a few minutes.
Light armor - +1 to Dexterity and Stealth. -2 to Defense. Applicable during battles.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder why I'm the only one alive and start wandering around to find out what happened here.
Comment has been collapsed.
You ponder many possibilities. May be it was fate. Destiny. Or may be it was the cowardly way you hid while everyone fought. You wander around and are only able to discern that two major clans fought here. You do not know the names but can plainly see that it was a battle between the elven and orcish clans. Your armor matches the elves in hue and make.

My memories of the battle are slowly returning. I realize that I've lost my father's bow and look around for a weapon in case the orcs come back.
Comment has been collapsed.
You look around and find your family bow, shattered in two. You feel a pang of regret seeing the only remaining memory of your late father, broken. You find a notched axe.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hesitate and pick up the axe, not sure what to do with it, but it's better than nothing. My stomach rumbles and I check if I have something to eat.
Comment has been collapsed.
You have some cheese. Possibly, lunch before coming onto the battlefield. You eat and feel slightly better after experiencing the creamy texture. You equip the axe and soon it begins to snow.
Comment has been collapsed.
I walk around, looking for shelter and eager to get a way from the battlefield. I need to find some place safe before the snow gets worse. Maybe the trees in the distance will help.

You quack in a grassy field surrounded by dead bodies. No one hears you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I stumble upon a small, sprawling hut. To my surprise, the door was not locked. The hut's inside was almost completely covered in dust, except for a fierce battle duck that seemed to be enchanted with a secret magic lotion a witch I had met centuries ago had presented me as one of her infamous concoctions. The lotion rendered the user impervious to dust for indefinite time. Such a useful trinket for a duck to have.
I check my watch twice to ensure the timing is correct, and get ready to act.
Comment has been collapsed.
As you prepare yourself, a loud noise makes you turn around. You see a hooded figure right behind you. Before you can react, you feel a sharp pain in your torso. You look down and see a gleaming sword entering your body. Everything goes black. You suddenly wake up. You are in a battlefield full of corpses. In the distance lies the cursed battle duck.
Comment has been collapsed.
I realize that the whole scene I had experienced in the last minute was a dream, an illusion created by the vicious duck. It must have been a sorcery of some kind. I look at my watch again and notice the clock was displaying a time much before the one I had seen during the dream. Just as the duck is about to hit me with another spell, I activate the magic clock's special mechanism and warp to another point in time.
"I need to figure out where that duck came from, and ambush it until it is too late. The life of everyone in the Kingdom may depend on it" - I think.
Comment has been collapsed.
As you travel through time, you suddenly find yourself at the battlefield again. You've arrived at the same point in time. Is the watch broken? Or is it the duck? Your fear is confirmed when you see the duck floating high, it's eyes glowing a dark shade of ruby red. It's eyes glow black as it fires another spell and you wake up in the battlefield again but this time, it is in the midst of a battle.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is not long before I realize that the original spell I presumably dodged by "travelling in time" had, in reality, hit. I was inside another illusion. With swift movements, I get from my pocket a small flask with a very special dispelling potion, one that renders me immune to any kind of charm for a few hours, and drink only a few drops from it. The illusion immediately vanishes, and I find myself in a dark cave, trapped. The clock is surprisingly still functional, I touch the mechanism and yet again I travel back in time.
Arriving at the nearest city, I sprint toward the Ruler's Keep. Hyacinth, governor of the small city of Heavensreach and my very old friend, is already by the gate, wearing an alarmed face. He has clearly been expecting me - and a look at his expression tells me news that could be as bad as the recent events I had to tell inform him about.
Comment has been collapsed.
As you run towards Hyacinth, a bolt of light streaks past, heading for your friend. Your friend runs but is not fast enough. He cries for help as the light slowly melts him into a puddle. Behind you, the cursed duck floats behind before flying into the city, to wreak more havoc. You may be immune to curse but not your friends. Not your parents.
Comment has been collapsed.
What the duck was not expecting is that Hyacinth had cast an ancient spell on himself prior to dieing. This spell is known by very few individuals, and even fewer know how to cast it. It is impossible to counter and makes any lethal curse revert to it's caster, killing the caster instead of his target, provided the spell is cast right before the target's death. The Hyacinth resurrects, fully healed, and the cursed duck vanishes for good.
The city is saved. I give Hyacinth a few drops of the anti-charm potion in order to make sure his mind is still his. He is just as he always has been, tough and valiant. "Thanks for your prompt arrival", he says.
Comment has been collapsed.
As you hug your friend, you begin to move into the city but before you can take a friend. You are stabbed from behind. You fall to your feet and see Hyacinth standing behind, bloody sword in hand. The cursed duck is older than time. There is no spell that it does not know and no spell that it cannot counter. As you lay there in pain, you see raise his sword to his neck and slowly slice his neck. His skin parts as blood begins to flow. He falls beside you and suddenly, his foggy eyes clear as he regains control, only to choke to death, as his eyes beg for help. After a few seconds, his choking stops. The duck floats above you, before letting out a single laser-like beam in the direction of the city, followed by a devastating explosion, before flying away. Your vision begins to blur and darken. As you begin to lose consciousness, you see two figures approaching you. They seem to be yelling but you cannot hear them. You faint. After an indeterminable amount of time passes, you wake up. You seem to be in a hospital, bandages across your torso. You try to get up but a sharp pain prevents you from doing so. You look around and see the wreckage caused by the duck. People are injured - some suffer from burns, some from amputations and some are beyond help. You wonder why the duck would do this? It was once a force of good, bringing prosperity to the world. What changed? Was it your interruption when you entered the hut, it's sanctuary. Was this your fault?

I take a look at the soldiers, they look like swell guys. I ask them about the battle.
Comment has been collapsed.
The soldiers seem confused. They tell you that they are just moving to reinforce one of their cities. You were the one in the battle. On your repeated insistence, they tell that the battle was waged between the two kings. Both brothers who after passing of their father, chose themselves righteous for the seat. When no accord could be reached, both brothers receded to their cities and took to arms, and chose to bring more and more land under their domain. This is what the soldiers tell you. You remember the rest. The soldiers venture into the city and ask for allegiance, if denied the slaughter begins until the city falls to its knees. The freedom and peace this land knew in the times of the Great King is no more. Now his sons bring sorrow and despair to the land, forcing every man to fight in their pointless war, amassing land and power. You are one of those countless who were forcefully drafted into the war. As a blacksmith's assistant, you were first tasked with forging weapons but when the casualties became noticeable and much blood was shed, you among many others were drafted into the army. Any who resisted were executed on the spot for cowardice.
Comment has been collapsed.
I ask the soldiers if i can acompany them to the city, better than being alone i guess. The guy who seems to be in charge notices me, i ask him if he has any spare shields I show him my broken shield.
Comment has been collapsed.
The captain tells you that you can tag along but there are no extra shields. You join the battalion and reach the city of Dair where the captain takes you to the barracks. You wait there until another military man approaches you. He is in charge of the war effort in this city. He looks at your uniform and is able to determine that you are from one the neighboring farms. You are given leave for 3 days before reporting for duty at the barracks.

Your father like you was drafted into the army after the armies of the older son, Wilick, suffered great loss at the hands of the armies of the younger brother, Hirsch. Your father left, with several other men, to bolster a city under siege. The city is now his grave. It has been reduced to a pile of rubble. You drink with the man and reminisce for a while, before taking your leave to visit the farm. After a 15 minute walk, you stand before the door of a modest cottage. You knock and wait. No answer. Your mother and younger sister must have gone to the market to trade.

I take a look at the surrounding of the farm. I ponder over my little sister and mother, it seems I cant remember there faces. all i know is that my mom made the best damn apple pie i ever ate. lookig forward to meeting them again, i sit infront of the house.. waiting.

You wake up and find yourself in a pile of ashes. You look for your family, concerned for their well-being. You find them in a cottage down the road. Turns out, you went to the local pub, got hammered and passed out in a burnt out cottage. All other details are hazy. Perhaps retracing your steps to the pub may yield important information.

I ask around for clues, then I am confronted by an very higly placed officer, who works for Hirsch. He says all young man are drafted for the big battle to come. I explain to him I dont want to fight. he injects me with a needle.. I drift away and later wake in a prison, Hirsch's prison. The man returns, he says "Fight for Hirsch, or DIE in here"
Comment has been collapsed.
You are in a prison. The walls are bleak, just like your future. The officer enters your cell. He tells you that you must fight for the Hirsch or be discreetly sold to sex slavery. A young man like will bring good money. Money that can be used to buy weapons. Your choice.

When the officer is called for supper, and turn his back to me, I insert my nail (which I had been sharpening since I woke up) in his ass. I tell him not to scream, or he will face the concequencess (I probaly wrote that wrong). after hiding in his pocket and forcing him to walk me out I wake up. Back in the cell, it was a dream. On the wall I see a piece of paper reading "To be sold to Mr. (se)X next sunday", I think to myself 'I have to get out of here'.

How can be difficult to travel with a wrist injured one month ago? I'm a warrior!!

The trips to Malot tend to be raided and people tend to get injured. He mentions it as a precautionary measure. He also mentions that for an added fee you could go via the other carriage which has more security but it leaves 5 days later. However, it has a 50% less chance of getting raided but more expensive (150 coins).
Also if you choose the first carriage, I'll roll a dice . 3 out of 6 choices will result in being raided. For the 2nd carriage the odds of being raided are 2 out of 6

There is church here but to find nuns, you must travel to Malor. You get paid by the librarian and barman for the days work and can join whenever you can. You take the cheaper carriage.
Time to roll the 20 sided die! 50% chance of being raided. Evens result in a raid and odds result in safe travels
13!
You reach Malor successfully without being raided. The carriage driver thanks the gods for their luck. You stand now in the outskirts of the city.

So much things I want to do! :D
I remembered Sila was here to marry the captain, so I ask people about a wedding of a captain.
I want to go shopping too. I'm sure there are a lot of things to see in this big city :D
Why did you hide the last comment? xd
Comment has been collapsed.
You ask around for the wedding and are told to ask at the church. As for shopping, if you have the coins, you can get anything from fine wine to companionship. But you'll need a lot of coin. At the end of 4 months, when your wrist healed, you earned 400 coins. 100 coins were used for food and boarding. Out of the remaining 300, you paid 75 coins for the carriage. 225 coins remain + the 150 coins earned at the bar. As for your weapons, Stormbringer is fully repaired. And your makeshift bow is slightly furnished.
Suspense! Results from a die roll and actions that follow are hidden!
Comment has been collapsed.
I visit a blacksmith and ask for weapon and armor prices. I am mostly interested in a sword, a shield and a bow.
Then I go to ask at the church.
Have already passed 4 months? Then why the man of the carriage told me not to travel with my injured wrist? Have passed 2 months while I was shopping? Wasn't Stormbringer stolen? :/ And I don't understand the furnished part... Is my bow more beautiful now?
Also.... Suspense! :O
Comment has been collapsed.
The blacksmith is puzzled at a request for a sword as he spots Stormbringer. He shows you his best collection of bows and armor. The cheapest bow is worth 50 gold while the most expensive is 150 gold. Armor is standard. Since you are lightweight, you can buy the light or medium armor which is worth 150 and 200 gold respectively.
4 months have passed. When you traveled, your wrist bandaged as you never took them off. You just arrived in Malor, only a few hours have passed as you shop. Your bow has been repaired and polished.

.Mm I see. Thanks, I will have to think about it for some days.
Go to the church and ask for Sila and the Captain
Again.. Wasn't Stormbringer stolen? You know.. the hooded person that broke my wrist and ran with my sword...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes. But the captain found it in Malor and sent it to you.
You go to the church and find a couple getting married. It's not Sila or the captain. It seems they're getting married some other day.
I may have forgotten that you lost the sword. So have a free Stormbringer. :P

I ask for Sila and the Captain to the priest when the ceremony is ended.
Then I go to the tavern to have some fun. Also I ask for the last news and rumors about Cortosh
I don't know if I should be happy to recover the sword that almost killed me... :S But thanks
Comment has been collapsed.
The priest is unaware of the timing. Since, Sila and the Captain don't really have any relatives, they haven't bothered to determine a time.
You go to the tavern and ask for rumors about Cortosh. The barkeep tells you that there are rumors flying out of Cortosh, left and right. Whether any truth lies behind them, is impossible to determine. He can give you general info. but you already know that.
Stormbringer is an enchanted sword. You can get it disenchanted by a wizard. It will stop trying to kill you but it will also lose the extra damage that comes from the enchantment.
Comment has been collapsed.
I met a strange person in the tavern. We both drink together, maybe too much, and I start telling him about my previous months. He tell me that maybe the reason my sword try to kill me is because it is enchanted :O Also I realized that 4 months passed, my wrist is now fine, and I have to rescue my brother yet. I go to the blacksmith and buy a light armor and a bow (150 and 100 gold). It is not the best bow, but eithe the worst, and definitely better than my self-crafted one. Cortosh is a day's journey from Malor if I recall correctly. But First I have to find someone who can disenchant my sword. The extra damage is not worth if it is against me :/ Looking for a wizard
Comment has been collapsed.
You find a wizard in the north-east corner of the city. He agrees to disenchant your sword for a cheap price of 25 coins.

I pay him, and once my sword is no longer trying to kill me, I leave towards Cortosh

You go to the city gates to leave for Cortosh. The guard at the gate warns you of the incoming thunder storm. Cortosh is a day's journey. It is almost certain that you will be caught in it.

I remember the last time a thunder storm caught me, months ago... I prefer spend the torment at Malor. I thank the guard and go to the inn. I drink a beer. Then other after the first one. I'm starting to have an idea. When the thunder storm finish, I go to the market. Then I search for some orphan around. I buy the orphan some food and I gain his friendship. I told him I am an adventurer, going from town to town, knowing the world and living adventures, and ask him if he wants to leave Malor to come with me, as my apprentice. Then I go to Cortosh and I pass myself off as a slave trader, so I don't arouse suspicions

You venture into the streets to find a child to pose as a pretend slave. There are no orphans around, scrounging for food. Turns out Malor has a very sustainable orphanage that offers shelter. You can adopt a child, if you want.

As you dust yourself off of the ground, a mug containing the rest of your beer comes hurtling out. It connects with your head. You feel a sharp ringing pain at the back of your head. You feel the pained area with the back of your hand to find a welt/bump.
You shakily get off the ground and head towards the library. You have a splitting headache. Unfortunately, the librarian does not keep a record of slave traders or the slaves that they sell. Slave trading is illegal and therefore, leaving a paper trail would be stupid. Your best chance to find your brother is to go to one of the high-end traders at the south end of the city. Only they deal in children.

Good afternoon sir. Some years ago my father bought a slave that served my family for many years until his recent death. Now we want to contact again that slaver to buy a new slave from him. The goods he sold to us were pretty good. Well, despite the illness that cost him the life.But that is, of course, fault of the rats. So he won our trust. May you help me to find him?
fak, edited to correct some mistakes I made

"Well, I know the name and origin city of the slave. Isn't there any kind of registry in which I could consult his name? Or at least get a list of slavers that works in the area where the slave was from? Of course, I can pay you for such information" - I smile slighty
Comment has been collapsed.
"Thousands of slaves pass through Cortosh. These slaves come from far and wide, every corner of the realm. The slave's origin city is useless. Unless, you know anything about the slaver, I can't help, even though, the payment you offer sounds tempting. As for the registry, you mention. Slavery is illegal in the realm. The only reason we get away with is because the rulers themselves use slaves from Cortosh and Breanin, and because we don't leave incriminating evidence. A slaver carries a list but it'd be easier for you to catch a dragon, then to ask a slaver to give up his list."

'A slaver carries a list', those words reverberate in my head...
"Ok sir, thaks for your help. Sadly it seems my travel was in vain. Have a good day. Oh, one last thing, if you were so kind.. Could you tell me aproximately how many slavers are between Cortosh and Breanin? Maybe some of them remember my father after all"

The slaver loses his patience when he realizes that you probably won't be buying a slave. He curses profusely and tells you that he doesn't know how many there might be. He also yells profanities about your mother, before leaving.

You find a slaver and tail him to his house. You wait for the light to go out in his bedroom, before heading for the door. You turn the knob. It's locked. Well, you expected that.

The stairs are wooden but sturdily built. You climb placing each step carefully, so as not make a sound. You creep upstairs without incident. On the upper landing, 3 doors are present. One in front of you, 2 to your left. All closed and all dark. You figure one might be a bathroom. But which door to the slaver's bedroom, the one in front of you or the one next to it?
Comment has been collapsed.
According with my experience, bathrooms are always in a lateral (but usually on the right), so I check the room in front of me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your experience guides you correctly. You enter the bedroom. To the right is the bed. The slaver is asleep, snoring softly. There is a cabinet beside the bed. That is the only piece of storage furniture. A window is also in the room.
Comment has been collapsed.
I open the window to take a breath of fresh air I quietly approach to the cabinet, with my ears controlling any change in the slaver's breathing. If he wakes up, at least I have an escape through the window, and that comforts me somewhat. In this cabinet I can find the truth that I've been looking for so long... Just a bit more...
