>Attempt to communicate with them

Edited 11/2/2015 23:08:41

Roll: 10

You stride confidently out of the bush, showing that you hold no weapons, and try to talk to them. They whirl around, and immediately each of them gets a look of abject terror on their face. They hurriedly pull out weapons, yelling something at you in an obscure dialect.


Edit: also just so everyone knows, anything works if you roll well. So if you're fighting someone, "attack them with sword" is about as likely to succeed as "suddenly master Kung fu and destroy enemy."

>Wave at them like you did with the lava thingy

Roll: 5

You wave at them, but the only reaction they have is to throw their spears at you. You drop to the ground, hurting your knee, and see the beast they threw the spears at. A vicious cat like creature had snuck up behind you, and now it's directly above you. And it's angry.

>Run in the direction of the hunters, but that way so you're not in the way of their weapons.

Roll: 17

You successfully leap to your feet, avoiding the cat's claws and the hunters' spears. Shaken, you watch as they swiftly and efficiently demolish the cat beast. They level their spears at you and gesture that you should follow them.

>Carefully follow them.

You follow them as they lead you deeper into the woods. As they pause by a small wooden hut, you see what appears to be an injured baby fox on the road ahead of you. The hunting party seems to have momentarily forgotten you, as they point at the fox and talk in low, urgent whispers.

>you swiftly move towards the small hut

Roll: 11

You move quickly towards the hut. One of the hunters looks like he saw you go, but he doesn't raise the alarm. The hut is much bigger than it looks. It is sparsely furnished, with the same decorative fox symbol on every surface. The two things that look out of place are a picture of a mysterious woman in a beautifully carved gold frame, and a small, bedraggled bird on the floor. A pair of dice appear to be floating above its head, but you blink and the dice are gone.

(Why no roll for me..?)

>Go back to the hunters and ask them who is the owner of the hut.

(what, you wanted a chance to follow them REALLY WELL or fail at following them? Basically, if I look at an action and I think, "it doesn't matter how well they do this action" I don't roll.)

You turn to leave and hear a series of bloodcurdling screams. Out the window, you can see the dead bodies of the hunters fall to the ground in pieces. They won't be giving you information any time soon. Still looking, you notice that the injured baby fox is gone.

>Take a look around

>While looking around eat a turnip.

You look around. Outside, everything is weirdly still. Inside the hut, the bird has started chirping quietly, but nothing else has changed.

>Afraid from not understanding the bird, you reason that It could be a spy. Therefore you try to kill it with your own hands.

Roll: 15

You charge at the bird! Time seems to slow around you, but you brush the effect off. The bird quickly changes shape, growing bigger and bigger. You get your hands around its neck and start to choke it, only to have the bird and everything else around you dissolve into white mist. Lost in the white mist, you turn, looking for something, anything, but nothing is there. You hear a deep, echoing voice. "Be at peace my child. Your attempt to kill shows that you still have my blessing. I am RNGsus, and you seem to have been sent on an interesting quest. I shall guide you through all your troubles. Maybe. There's probably about a 50% chance. Anyway, I leave you with two things, my blessing for a short while, and a warning: Beware of snakes and foxes, though one will make a great ally."

You black out.

You wake up on the floor of the hut, feeling new strength course through you. A wardrobe hangs open to your right. You suddenly hear the sound of the doorknob turning. Someone or something is entering the hut.


(Gained "Blessing of RNGsus": +(0 to 3) to all rolls until it randomly wears off.)

>Attempt to kill anyone entering the hut without watching who it is

Roll: 1. RNGsus Bonus:0. Oh god.

You bravely pull out your sword, ready to fight the unknown! You begin your charge into the other room, but your foot catches on a rug and you go down hard, cracking a rib. It's at this point that you notice your sword has stabbed into your leg. A woman comes in from the doorway, looking completely unfazed that there's a stranger bleeding on the floor. She waves her hand, and you black out.
