Make sure you complete everything perfectly.

After all, Big Brother is watching.

Perhaps your cold and stale breakfast is reflective of a spiritual inadequacy in your life. Devote yourself!

What are you even talking about? I don’t even have a brother... That I know of anyway...

>>854092
Oh yeah, GREAT idea! I bet that makes me and the other servants the most spiritual people here. Please, I’ve seen what some of these fat bastards around here eat, I’m the one who carry’s the bishops food to his chambers. He gets away with eating roasted chickens and the most freshly baked bread. While the rest of us are stuck most meager meals.

Look don’t tell anyone this or I could be flogged, but I’ve actually had to swipe food off the bishops plate just to make sure I haven’t gone hungry before.

Your secret is safe with us, not that we can speak to anyone else.

So what kind of place are you a slave to? And what is your name?

Go visit the other priests.

>>854095
.....so you're not freaked out about the fact that you can hear a bunch of voices in your head?

so what's your story kid?

What is your deal here, anyway? Are you an orphan or something?
Why don't you just get the hell away from here and do somthing "productive"? Life is full of oportunities, specially OUTSIDE a what, a church or somthing? Where are you?

>>854095
Are the priests active dicks or just uncaring?

what type of church is this exactly?

Where do you get your food from? Do you have a local chef or is it all imported from the nearest town?

I’m not exactly a slave, but I was raised by the priests here. I don’t know who my father was but I was told that my mother was a foreign woman who collapsed at the foot of the monestary. I’ve tried running away before, but I quickly found out that there was no where to go, the monestary is based on an island off the coast of Northumbria. So unless I have money to hire a boat, which I don’t, I’m pretty much stuck here. The whole island actually belongs to the church, including the harbor below.

>>854107
>>854110
All of our food is made here on the island, with all the pilgrims coming in, this place is actually quite rich from what I can tell. Not like I actually see any of it though, most of the money goes into continuously adding on to the church other parts of the island. All in all i’d say only most of the priests here are dicks, some of them are nice anyway. Brother Kells sometimes sneaks me and the other servants good bread.

As for my name, I was told that my mother had just enough breath to tell the priests it was-

Have you considered stealing some supplies, stealing a boat and embarking on a life of ADVENTURE?

ACK! Oh crap...

Who is this weirdo?

anyway, tell him your arms were sore, and was just taking a minute.

You were just finishing up here and trying to think about what chore to tackle next.

who's the bald wannabe? Tell him he should just shave the rest of his hair off or wear a hood. Boy is never going to get laid looking like that.

Sigurd: “Forgive me brother, I was just trying to think of what chores I have next, and my arms were getting tired.”

Marten:”I see, then perhaps you need a reminder? You were asked to bring water to the Scriptorium today. Remember?”

Uhhh... I don’t remember any of the priests telling me about that, what should I tell him?

Just thank him and get to it!

>>854215
Say sorry sir and that you must have forgotten it, then proceed to immediately do it. No point in pushing the blame to someone else if you will get into more trouble over it.

Yep, do as he says. No need to question him.

Tell him that you were distracted. Which I cannot blame you especially if it was a beautiful young woman. >>85421

What are you talking about? There aren’t that many women around here, and the only ones that are here are usually nuns.

>>854224
Sigurd: “Fine but I want more food this week for this.”

He eyes me, rather unimpressed.

Sigurd: “... Never mind.”

Marten: “That’s what I thought you meant. Now, hop to it.”

I quickly retrieve a water bucket and head for the wells. Man, this sucks! Is it just me or am I actually hated here!? I’m often given some of the worst jobs, and I STILL have clean the latrenes later! Why do I have to stay where I am not wanted?

Well, I imagine the issue is being an orphan, caring for you is a rather hefty financial drain, and you won’t have any skills not taught to you, and I think this time period is one where the average citizen doesn’t have spare resources for dealing with an extra mouth to feed.
Plus running away from the Church that ‘generously’ decided to take you in and care for you, as poorly as that job was done, probably makes you look ungrateful, as opposed to mistreated.

>the monestary is based on an island off the coast of Northumbria

Lindisfarne? O fuck I know exactly where this is going

>>854244
Oh shit, its an actual place.

>>854227
>Why do I have to stay where I am not wanted?
Because the world is an indifferent place. All you can do is try to save what you can to make your way out. Working a on a ship to make yourself free eventually may be worth it. The only other option is to change how things work here.
You have any ability to read or write?

>>854227
Oh shit, I just looked it up...Uh, Just saying you might want to have a secret hidey hole or something at some point.

>>854257
Actually, considering what year it is, he should be fine for a little bit longer. But yeah if he's not out of here in like the next 50 years then yeah, he's in trouble.

Ok, we all know where this is going, so don't worry about it Sigurd, all your problems are going to change really soon, to others that are more problematic than having to clean latrines. If you survive.

>>854227
Go and tell the bishop you feel divinely inspired by the radiance of the church later today, and that you feel the urge to set out into the world and tell all of God's wonders as you travel to the Holy Land in sacred pilgrimage.

The Holy Land is effectively as far away as possible from this place and he can't, as a bishop, deny that going to the Holy Land is important, so you'll eventually be able to get the hell out of here.

You'd like the holy land, there are very few latrines there and everything is covered in sand.

He might be dangerous. Might want to run back inside and let somebody know.

Well water's probably bad. Give some to a crow and see if it falls over dead.

That is a bad omen, no matter from where you look at it. Check if they are ok, but don't even touch the water. Worn someone first, you don't want to be responsible for poisoning someone.

Alright, I’ll check on him first. I hope he’s okay. I set the water buck carefully on the well, and then lean down to check on him. Looking closely hisvface is partially hidden by his long hair, I can see his chest rising and falling, but it’s slow, as though it’s very straining.

Sigurd: “excuse me, are you alright.”

???: “Water... please...”

His voice is raspy and dry. He doesn’t sound well. What should I do? How can even tell if the water is poisonous?

You can tell by seeing if it kills this guy.

>>854345
Don't worry about that for now, just give him some water!

>>854348
That's not even close to accurate! Not all poisons kill someone instantly when they drink it. It could be a slow poison that ends up killing him a few hours later. Or he could end up dying from something else that happened to him or a poison that's already in his system.

>>854345
Since he's asking for water, it's probably okay, especially if you guys use it regularly without trouble.
Maybe he's just too weak to have pulled the bucket back up.

Well, fuck it, si not like you have much of a choise here. Give them some water and we'll se what happens to them later. Then go and look for some help, monks are good with wounds and healling.

I forgot to ask before, but what is that dark thing in the sky? Are those clouds or smoke or what?

>>854345
Get some well water for him and ask him what happened to him while drawing up the water.

I quickly haul the rope up and tie it to my bucket and throw it down the well. It heavy to pull up, but the winch really helps. I get him a full bucket and before I can even utter a word he begins to slurp it down greedily with surprising strength that wasn’t there a minute ago...

>>854433
This man may be sick, and he might not be long for this world. Id say you should consider giving him his last rites, but I doubt you've been trained in that sort of thing, so maybe you could recite Bede's Death Song as an alternative.

Wait, there's a tidbit in your last sermon about eating too much too fast, even if you've been starving for weeks. Actually, ESPECIALLY if you've been starving for weeks. Something about your stomach learning humility and by suddenly stuffing it with 200% your daily recommended dose of gluttony it becomes completely sinful and a useless lump of coal and you die of starvation-induced rot... or whatever.

Maybe give him a tiny portion of your already tiny rations and then give him more as his body learns how to digest again.

>>854433
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.

>>854437
>Last rites
Just because he looks like he's gonna die, that doesn't meant that he will die!

Its the early middle ages man, its more likely that a healthy looking person suddenly dies than the opposite.

Well first ask the man to give you something valuable in return for your "services". If this guy is planning to die or kill himself there is no reason you should end up empty handed

Or you know, you can just rob him. It is not like he will report it to anybody

Let's try to make the guy survive first at least, then we can think about robbing him. So you haven't seem them before, right? Could it be that they are new in island and, therefore, arrived recently in a ship. Maybe our ticket out of here.

>>854433

Unsure of what to do, I start to recite the last rites that Father Baldwin taught us.

Sigurd: “Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy na-uhh...”

He’s looking at me... Scary...

Ask him if he wants to be dead, because that is what he will be if he doesn't give you everything that he owns

>>854513
Apologize, and ask him if he needs a place to stay. Also it looks like some ships are coming in on the horizon, so he could probably leave with the pilgrims if he needs to.

>>854522
I dont think we could take on this man, he might be weakend be we are literally a starving child without a weapon. Even if we were able to kill him it would take a while, and people might notice that we were missing for some time since we are on such a short leash.

He pauses as he get’s up, as though that was a hard question to answer.

What a weird name...

Sigurd: “So... how did you end up here?”

Geirvaldr: “I am a wanderer, and I found my way here after running out of water. Luckily, you came along before I passed out. I must say young one, you don’t look like most of the people I’ve seen on the island.”

Sigurd: “I don’t?”

Geirvaldr: “No, you don’t. However, for your kindness, I have a gift.”

You are no fun you could at least push him down the well, also don't take presents from strangers. It is alright if you steal from then, but if they are willingly giving to you should be cautious about the gift

Don't take candy from strangers!

ask him where he's from and why he's here.

Thank him for the gift and ask him if he needs anymore assistance.

"Please don't give me heresy, the church would burn me at the stake."

Tell him "thanks, but all donations must be given to the church. I alone can't receive gifts from others. Church policy."

I’m hesitant as to what I should say, part of me wants to tell him to donate to the church, or I’m worried that what he has to give isn’t something I’d want. But another part of me wants to accept it, whatever it is. He reaches into his cloak and pulls out...

Holy... that’s a Seax, a long knife. Where was he keeping that? And he’s actually offered that to me? He smiles at me, at it reminds me of a wolf. Should I accept this? What should I even do?

Geirvaldr: “Believe me boy, you may need this. Better to have it and not want it, than need it and not have it.”

It occurs to me suddenly that storm is upon us. I can hear the winds and waves crashing on the beach, and thunder rolls above.

He's offering you a path of violence, you know.

There's an old legend about a knife that demands blood. It starts out small; a cut here, a dead rat there. Then it suggests you solve problems with minimal diplomacy. Then it points out tactical routes, combo moves, "acceptable" targets. And finally, it roars with its true face - to kill all that stand in the path of the user, never sated until rivers of blood pour from the defeated, never satisfied until oceans crash red waves across the horizon.

But if you don't take it, you will die here, alone, a servant of a higher power yet enslaved to its hypocrite servants and contradicting laws until you starve. Not to mention all the thousands of other workers slaving away, thinking they are doing holy work when they're just mindlessly industrializing for the sake of a few fatass priests' dinners. If you choose to do nothing, this is how the world will work every day for the next five hundred years.

Take the knife. And when the time comes, demand the "Servants of God" to administer justice and progress and prosperity, for you shall give none.

No reason to be ungrateful and refuse the gift, but weren’t you there to get water for something else, like cleaning the scriptorium or something like that?

Ha ha ha very funny hooded person, but we are part of the church we don't kill people. We have people to do that for us, hell we even have people to torture for us or in the name of God. If you really want to impress me teach me some magic or give me a bow

I'd straight up ask if it's cursed. This situation is starting to sound like old tales/deals with the devil. If he gives any answer that leans towards yes ('it will endow you with great power...') I'd say nah and run back to the church. (as for your chore say you were scared of the storm and didn't want to get caught in it. You'll get in some trouble, but hopefully not a ton)
Otherwise, accept his gift. If this is one of those tales where a beggar gives a boon to a kind man who helped him, I would take it; even if it's just a knife, a gift can be turned into part of the pay needed to get out.

>>854680
Just take the knife, its entirely possible that we are reading too much into the situation. Tell him thanks for the gift and wish him well on his travels.If this is actually the allfather then it would be best if we not get on his bad side by refusing this gift, cursed or not.

>>854680
>“Believe me boy, you may need this. Better to have it and not want it, than need it and not have it.”
He's right about that, so you might as well just go ahead and take it.

Smile, take the knife, and tell him there's a warm place for him to seek shelter from the coming storm over yonder. Indicate the monestary - they take on pilgrims, right?

Better get that water quick. The Scriptorum will still need it, and if the storm's here, you'll get soaked right quick if you don't hurry.

The priests will not approve of you having something like that knife. Like as not, they'll make you give it up if they see you with it, so hide it.

Bar the fact that the knife represents violence, it also represents something else. Wealth. You can trade this thing for the resources you need to travel elsewhere.

Ok, i would asume that he is refering to and ouside danger that will probably come latter and that all of your fellow believers are unprotected of it, because they don't respond with violence, and that will be probaby their demise. Take the knife, it is not just a weapon, it's a tool. Even if it is designed to kill, you are not bound to kill everithing that stands in front of you. You have to do what you can to survive, and if that implies kill a few people, so be it. This is a time of grate violence, and if you don't adapt, you will be eaten by the stronger.
Ask him where does he come from, hell, ask him if you can go with him, i wouldn't want to be in that church if shit goes down there.

>>854680
Accept the blade.

Wait.

Where did he go!?

Go pester those Vikings for fish.

Well little boy you will have a first hand experience on how it feels to have your village burned and pillaged, they don't even take prisoners. Best thing that I can recommend is for you to hide inside that well, but that will probably be the place where they will throw the dead bodies so I don't know how smart that idea is

Check the well, maybe he hid inside.

Why are all your picture names UUIDs, by the way? Also, you may consider uploading smaller pictures, because pics bigger than the screen are impractical on image boards that don't auto-resize them.

probably best to run back inside and warn someone.

Those men are Vikings! They are here to bust everything up! Flee child, you cannot stand against them all!

Welcome to the Viking invasions, kid!

Good idea! I’ll try and hide down the well, I don’t want to go back to the priory! This rope is old but it should hold me. I tuck the knife in my sash and begin to climb

I’ve made it to the bottom, it’s cold down here. Luckily it’s not so deep that I could drown.

...

The bells, they’ve stopped. I can’t hear much... but I think I hear screaming...

I’m scared...
Alright so first to address the issue with the file names. I’m literally uploading these images straight from my iPad, so that might account for some of the wonky names. As for the file sizes and large images, I’ve done a temporary fix on those for now, and attempted to do something of a poor-man’s file resizing. I’ll get some photo editing software soon and hopefully I can get a more permanent solution to the names and sizes in place soon. Hope you are all enjoying the quest so far! Disthread will be open later today!

>>855788
well get comfortable, I'd say don't leave till the sun sets so in case there are any raiders left you would have the cover of night to conceal you.

Ask Satan for guidance, he will show you the way. Also you will need to draw a pentagram, you can do that with your blood

>>855788
Stand up, don't want to freeze your butt off (and it shouldn't make much difference in how visible you are).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W001hgcE08

Don't worry. They operate quickly.

>>855788
Stay in the well until the screaming stops and night starts to fall. You know the stories of the Northmen. They enslave all who survive their raids, so unless you want to be working as a ground-breaker in one of their godforsaken cabbage fields in the northlands for the rest of your life, stay in the well.

Quickly jump down in the water and try to keep your head submerged as long as possible. Somebody above is looking down at you and if they see you it won't be pretty

You, uh...unless you have any other way up you might need to risk this one.

Don't worry about the rope, you'll be able to climb out easily once they start filling the well up with dead bodies.

Kid, shut up! Trust me! The nicest thing these guys could do to you is kill you!

Kid you are making a huge mistake, when dealing with the bears best course of action is to play dead. Attacking them will only make them torture you longer before killing you

Better start praying boy, if you dont want to get caught you could try to run away, and if you don't get hit with an arrow, axe, or javelin, you might be able to hide someplace else. Otherwise, i hope you dont mind being a slave.

I know it's hard, but calm down, if you show weakness they will toss you aside or just kill you. Prepare yourself, we don't know what their intentions are just yet, probably not good, and if that is the case you need to fight.

Now scream out "Ekki drepa mig, takk!" should increase your chances of not being murdered by like 10%

Trying not to get killed. Not much we can do here for now. Make sure he doesn't see your weapon. Let him think you are defenseless. If he's stupid enough to hurt you, cut his neck open.

"bell was ringing, I saw a ship coming, and I got scared and hid and... please don't hurt me...

Tell him that you were collecting coins that people throw in the well when they make a wish. Also try to charm him, tell him how beautiful hair he has. Say that using your seductive voice, also give him a wink

Play dumb and say you got startled by sudden bell ringing and fell down into the well

Actually, fuck this. Lean back a bit and punch him in the dick.

Wishing for a rope. And it came true!

I think he's saying, "Many gods of light and darkness, how is this possible? This is Loki to play me?"

Maybe he's looking at you because something about you doesn't seem real? I think maybe you should just ask him what he's taking about? And if he doesn't answer, then maybe you should look down at yourself to see if you can see what it is he's talking about?

is he looking at you, or is something behind you? um, look behind you.

Yep you are becoming a sex slave for this saveges! Never look at them as your friends, they have killed all your friends and taken you away from your home. They are evil, they all deserve to die. Look at this fuckig asshole, how he feels so cheerful after he and his friends have killed the monks. Actualy you what, can you ask him why your friends had to die. What is their justification

look where he is looking if it actually is at you and there is a real problem (like you should be dead)then slice him before he can get out of shock.

>>856438
Has he noticed that you're a Northlander?

I mean, you do look kinda like him. Maybe he's shocked that you are apparently one of his kind and thinks you're a long lost relative? Say "My name is Sigurd."

You should run now. Fast. Because if he isn't going to skin you alive, whatever's behind you might flay you instead.

He didn't saw your knife did he? Could have been that? Something behind you? Ask him what is the matter?

Tell him all you know is the story the church told you, and it might be a lie, if he's telling the truth.

Ask him if he knows a man named Geirvaldr.

>>856841
Yeah, this seems good enough.

>>856830
Just tell him the story the monks have told you. And if what this guy is telling you is true, then that might explain why these monks have always treated you poorly. In fact, haven't they treated you even more poorly than all the other servants?

>>856851
Also, if he's right about you looking like his mother, then maybe he could be your brother?

.....don't mention this out loud.

If you asked me I would find it a bit strange that this guy is right now explaining all of this to you in the middle of a siege. Why does this guy even have a need to justify his actions and the action of his people, especially after he was threatening you with a knife earlear. I think that this guy is lying to you and trying to convert you to a pagan cult. Don't listen to him he lies his LIEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!

Yay, he won't hurt you. Curse him for all the mass-murder and leave.

"... Are you delusional? 'I look like your mother'? Do you realize how crazy that sounds? Look, I have to help the survivors rebuild their homes before they all panic and starve. Thank you for murdering half the church, some of whom were not the selfish assholes you claim them to be because they were low on the corruption ladder and defenseless to your onslaught. Now if you REALLY want a target to hunt down, Geirvaldr was here and he gave me this. Go find him, and then GET THE @#$% OFF MY ISLAND."

*SSWSHHHCHLKKK!!!*

Haahhh....

You don't need to cleave the whole head off to neutralize the target. Chopping through the esophagus will usually sever all nerve cords to the rest of the body, leaving them unable to do anything more than make a few funny faces. You can chop the rest of their spine after the battle is over, save your strength for the real targets.

Cut off his hands and eat them.

Fatality!

Well no point in wasting a decapitated head. Put it to good use

I am aware that we probably aren't the person that is cutting off the head, but it can't hurt to try and influence them to be more creative. Because as much as I can tell, this will be from the perspective of the vikings. So might as well act like them, killing, intimidating and burning all the way to Valhalla

As for all that killing brother thing, hey we are just thoughts in the head of that boy. What we write is what he is thinking. In that case I am more of a paranoia formed and distrust form from such a drastic change in his life. Yeah I might be constantly screaming about not trusting this guy and trying to kill him but that is just the thing, I am only one thought telling him that.

Beautiful. No one is left alive, I guess it is not my time to die after all, I don’t think that one will be dining with The Allather tonight either. Cowards.

But still... Gods what a RUSH!

>>857557
Yeah, I could do that. But it’s just not as fun that way. Especially the weak ones like this fool. Him and his ten other dumb-asses thought they could take me down. ME!

>>857603
I am a hero. Or at least that’s what most people call me anyway. I’ve found that what i’m called when the word “murderer” falls short of the mark.

Okay so I figure I’d give you guys the rundown on this whole thing with attempting to be evil, backstab your brother, etc. Right now think of this as throwing you guys a bone however i’m getting kinda tired of seeing these kinds of jokey responses or weird attempts to be evil when it’s not strictly called for. When a character isn’t doing something that wouldn’t call for an action like that to be taken, they just seem really out of place and can get on people’s nerves. I’m not saying don’t do them because there will be times when they are much more called for given the circumstances.

I sort of understand why suggestors do this, especially in quests where you are the inner thoughts or voices of the protagonist but no one person should play as bloodlust or something, I’d rather just have you all be the collective conscious giving suggestions that you think are good ideas given the scenario. DiveQuest had this problem in the early parts of its quest until Weaver (honored be his name) shut it down. So for now just go with the flow, and just go with your guts on stuff.

>>857673
So you just killed a bunch of assassins? Search the bodies, see if you can find some evidence of them being sent by someone.

Oh shit, you need to find shelter, it's time for Threadfall! Unless you are a dragon rider, in which case you need to go find your mount.

>>857683
You should have left one alive, you could of interrogated the assassin. But no you had to go and kill them all. Think about that next time.

I think I see that you still have that knife from many years ago from that creepy hooded person. Have you ever seen that person again?

Do you mean the Allfather instead of Allather...

Well, that was refreshing, but what the heck are we seriously doing out in a creepy wood at night? I don't believe it's selling candy to woeful strangers.

Breathe. Then wash your face.

Look, if you believe Valhalla is only for the valorous, then you could at least practice basic hygiene so you don't catch an illness from the blood of your victims.

Seriously, something seemed off about that last guy.

>>857811
Yeah, yeah. I take some water from my water-skin and clean myself up a little.

>>857802
Was I not clear enough? Look, let’s just say I’m not the kind of person most people want around, but that’s what happens when your reputation is as dark as mine.

>>857768
The fuck? The only dragon I know is the wyrm Niddhogg, I cant think of a reason why him or any of his brood would come to Midgard.

>>857777
>>857683
I begin to search their bodies to see if they had anything of value. Their leader was wearing a ring mail shirt and had a sword, neither was in good condition. He also had a good deal of money on him, he was carrying a pouch of 20 gold and silver pennings on him. I suspect he might have had more but spent it on his cheap sword and mail. His men all had coins as well, though not as much, looks like he gave each of them one penning. Also each of them had these iron disks on them...

Interesting, this is king Erik’s Sigil, I recognize that serpent design...

Why would King Erik send such cheap assassins like these? Seems like a waste of money.

>>858075
Smells like a frame job. You should go talk to King Erik and find out who might be framing him.

>>858077
I agree because most assassins, even incompetent ones, are not that stupid. Because they would have huge issues if they are caught and they have their employers money on them, they are dead. Cause usually the employer doesn’t want people to know who sent the assassins in the first place.

>>858075
You're planning to go to King Eric with an olive branch or a branding iron. Either way, someone wanted King Eric or those who knew King Eric to learn about this little incident. Maybe THAT'S the real message and you're being played into following directions.

>>858130
Maybe but you don’t know what whoever is playing with you wants you to end up at. They could be doing this as a way to get close to you and kill you.

Better take his head as evidence, and to see if they recognize his face.

>>858130
That sort of makes sense but then why send them out to here, how did they even know how to find me. I’ve been wandering Danmark a while now.

>>858077
Erik and I... are not on good terms. Last time I saw him he threw me out of Ribe and told me if he saw me again... it’s just not a good scene right now. So am I surprised Erik sent assassins? No. Am I surprised he was so cheap, or that he waited this long? Yes. If he wanted me dead why not just kill me when he had me?

Aaaand what the fuck is this? This was on the back of the disk.

>>858186
Eh, maybe he wanted to send you the disk, but also used the opportunity to try to half-assedly kill you. Take the disk somewhere you can get it identified.

>>858188
I agree with you on that point. And I think that you should leave the head cause that will bring more attention than you probably want.

Oh no the assassins were just to get the cursed disk close to you, so its dark hex could steal your soul!

>>858330
Why would they carry it in there coin pouch if it was cursed? They would definitely not be that stupid and they would have been cursed if they touched it themselves. So I don’t think that it is cursed.

What the fuck!?

Did you hear that???

>>858730
I heard something. Be on the lookout for anything because you were already almost assassinated. Which is means be careful.

The will appears to be strong, strong enough to draw the hugr back to one's body. These reanimated individuals were known as draugar.

Do not trust this friendly voice.

>>858730
Shit, the shitty assassins are being raised as zombies by a competent assassin! Get out of there!

Grab the assassin head and - wat

You may want to run.

No, but I saw it.

Remove yourself from the not so dead body. Have you kill supernatural creatures before?
Are you on mushrooms?

>>858781
I believe that it is time to run. Unless you think you can kill supernatural creatures. Even if you can, I would still run.

What are you all talking about? Supernatural? And what’s a zombie? That just sounds-

aaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

HOLYSHIT!HOLYSHIT!HOLYSHIT!HOLYSHIT!HOLYSHIT!

Okay! running I like this plan! I’ve never seen anything like this before!

>>858781
No I’m not on mushrooms! I never needed them! I’m a bit too scared out of my wits to go use the battle-rage at the moment though!

Maybe help me figure out just where I am running first!?

No idea where you are so you should give us some choices to pick from.

Just cut off one of his arms. Now he has to pick between seeing you and punching you.

>>859074
I think you should get out of the woods to start with. Then think of what to do next. You will be able to see your surroundings on a hill. Get to higher ground so that you can’t be snuck upon.

Here is a map of where I am! I have a camp set up south of here, I was trying to make dinner when these assholes jumped me.

If you think I can run to the hills there is a small mound of them west of here.

So where should I run to?!

Running uphill will cause slowdown, and risk you tripping once you run downhill. How good you are with hills?

I'd say run south. As you are running and you run past camp, grab the food you are cooking without stopping and chow down as you run... or just run south and nothing else

Ok i think we should stop there. It was fun thoght.

Go South, as long as you ar outside the forest, you should be less trapped, in an open area. You will be able to see what is coming after you. I think it is a witch.

>>859324
I agree. Run to an open space because you will be able to see anything and anyone who approaches. And be able to make a plan for what to do next.

South It is! Luckily working on boats gives me a sense of geography and direction. I begin to sprint off south which will take me by my camp. I doubt I can salvage much of it but maybe I can grab a few things and scram.

Gods, what is that smell?

>roll for dodge, 1d20

Heads-up, he he he!

Duck, step back and bait him to hit the tree.

>>859833
Yeah you might want to duck or something, and if you smell dead corpses, you are going to get attacked.

>>859869

Fresh corpses don't really smell though... Perhaps they smell of blood, but not much more.

I think the smell is from old corpses the necromancer is using. The assassins were a distraction to allow the already-made zombies to get into position.

Fight this one, at least so it isn't able to follow you later. Try to make it quick, there must be more incoming.

you said your back cracked? hm, use SKILL, and Adrenaline to fight past that pain.

>>860188
If only we had some source of fire, As I assume that even a monster couldn't stand being rendered into ashes.

Also try to remove an arm, like that other guy mentioned earlier, or at very least a hand, if he has less arms, he's less dangerous.

>>860479
Agreed. We can't kill them, but we can cripple them. Off with hies arms!

I like your thinking! Off with the hands it is! As I come out of my slide, I quickly turn to face this monster and unsheathing my sword...

>ROLL ATTACK: 1d20+5
>ROLL DAMAGE: 1d20

rolled 8 + 5 = 13

Kick ass and remember to parry!

I know it might be hard, but pay attention to your surroundings, this place screams ambush all over.

If you are successful in your attack should you step away from your opponent (so he can't trip you) and run like hell. There are bound to be more of them around.

rolled 4, 18 = 22

>>860872
Are we supposed to roll both at once? That's a bit awkward with the dice system we have.
