This thread was inspired by what I did in the What do you do when game.


Okay, this is quite a complicated thread, so I'll try to walk you through it! Just open the spoiler tag to learn everything.

That's pretty much all you need to know!

Copy this to start:

Alright, a brand new adventure begins in this world! But what is going to happen to our heroes?

You find yourself on a crossroad.

1: Go north. There seems to be a town.

2: Go east. The path leads to a dark forest.

3: Go south. It looks like a long road to some distant place.
(+2 Hunger.)

4: Go west. An abandoned house seems to be standing there.

[Sir monacle]

4. There may be some rats to eat.


On your journey an old, frail man jumps out and begins to wave a spoon about while rambling on about something.

1, Requires charisma 6 (or higher) : Try to get him to calm down (+2 Sanity)

2: ) Listen to his ramblings. (-2 Sanity, get item "spoon")

3: ) Tell him to shut up. (-2 HP, +1 Sanity)

4, (requires Strength of 5 (or more) : Beat him up and take his spoon (-1 Sanity, -1 HP, get item "spoon")

5: ) Ignore him and continue walking.

[TenebrisNemo]

5. He is just a waste of time and health. And spoon is nothing special.

We arrive to the old, rotten house (We are all in a party but the poster chooses the options and the options affects the chooser if not written otherwise, I assume). It appears to be an old farm. Looks like some scavengers have already been here, for the door has been destroyed and everything with some value has been taken. However, there may be something anyways, but what are the odds? There are also some giant rats running around.

1: Search the house. (The higher Intelligence you have, the better possibilities to find something.)

2: Examine & explore the farm a bit. (+1 Intelligence & Sanity.)

3: Kill & catch some rats. (+1 Strength, -1 Sanity, +3 Dead Rats into your inventory.)

4: Leave. There are better things to do. (Go back to the crossroad.)

[L1N3R1D3R•]

2. I need to train my brain a bit, even if I'm already perfectly sane.

- - - - - - - - - -

In my search of the farm, I find an ancient shoveling device and show it to the rest of our party. It seems to have gathered a thick, dirty crust, and you wonder if taking it will help your cause.

1: Take the device. (+1 Shoveling device (easier to find hidden items), -2 Strength)

2: Give the device to someone of your choice. (same effects to them)

3: Work hard to clean the dirt off the device, then take it. (+1 Shoveling device, +2 Hunger)

4: Leave it behind.

[Sir monacle]

4. That "device" could be used to spy on me! It's better if I just carry the clothes on my back for now...
__________________________________________________ _________________________________________

When night arrives, we come across a house for shelter. The house appears to be occupied by two elderly couple, they seem to be willing to keep us in their house for the night. While you were looking around, the other party members was talking to the elderly couple. During this time, you come across three interesting, and perhaps valuable items.


1: Steal a couple of imported tea bags. (Gain items "tea bag" (3x), -1 Sanity, +1 Hunger)

2: Steal an old dagger. (Gain item "Dagger", -1 Sanity, +1 Hunger)

3: Steal a couple of imported Chinese plates (Gain items "Chinese plate" (2x), -1 Sanity, +1 Hunger)

4 Don't steal anything, and rethink life.

(5 requires 50x gold) : Buy one chosen item. (-50x gold, get item "tea bag" or "Chinese plate" or "Dagger")

[TenebrisNemo]

4. The couple are kind enough to keep us in their house. Why would I want to steal anything from them?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

We spend the night in the house's guestroom (Everyone gets the "Rested" Status: +1 to Strength, Intelligence and Sanity). When we wake up, the couple are kind enough to give us some bread for breakfast. We eat some and left one bread in each other's inventory (Everyone gets one Bread which reduces Hunger by 2). We say our farewells to the old couple and continue our journey.

We are back in the same area where we were yesterday. The old rotten house still standing not far away from us and the farm is as ugly as it was yesterday. It would be a good idea to continue our journey.

1: Go north, where the town appears to be.

2: Go east, into the dark forest.

3: Go south, to the distant place.
(+2 Hunger.)

4: We may have missed something. Explore the farm again.

[Sir monacle]

4, instead of advancing in our grand quest, I say we should stop for another rest.
__________________________________________________ ____________________

My decision was questionable at best, and an argument breaks out because of it. L1N3R1D3R tries to persuade us to turn back, so we can make another decision, but it was too late. We had already arrived at the farm. The argument continued to heat up, and a couple of hours was wasted, yet the argument continues.


(1, Requires Strength 6) : Start a fight (-3 HP to everybody)

2: Ignore it. (-3 Sanity)

(3, Requires Charisma 6) : Try to stop the argument (+2 Sanity, +2 Hunger to everybody)

4: Agree with L1N3R1D3R (-2 Sanity to sir monacle, +2 Sanity to L1N3R1D3R)

5: Agree with sir monacle (-2 Sanity to L1N3R1D3R, +2 Sanity to sir monacle)

[L1N3R1D3R•]

4. Although agreeing with myself makes no sense, I do not lose anything from it. (-2 Sanity to Sir monacle)

- - - - - - - - - -

At the farm, we spot a myriad of animals roaming around the place. They seem like they could cure your hunger, but at the same time, you wonder if the farmer will get angry at you. He could give you some valuable advice if you listen to him for long enough, but the day is quickly passing.

1. Kill the animals yourself. (+3 Pieces of meat [When used, -3 Hunger], lose "Rested" status, -2 Sanity, +1 Hunger)

2. Get your friends to help. (Everyone: +1 Piece of meat [When used, -3 Hunger], -1 Strength, -1 Sanity)

3. Talk to the farmer. (+1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, +2 Hunger)

4. Keep walking.

[TenebrisNemo]

3. We are not on any quests anyway. And advice is always helpful. Also, I do not wish to be a jerk.

The old farmer has a lot to say. He has lived in these farms since he was a little boy. It hasn't always been like this, he shouts. Many months ago goblins attacked the farm, pillaged it and killed several peasants and set the crops on fire with their torches. Since then, the land has been dying. Almost everyone from these farms moved north into the town and only a few remain. No one knows why the goblins started to raid farms and why the ground is still being sick, but people say it has something to do with the dark sources of power which can be found in the nearby forest.

Then the old farmer points north and says "If ya are looking for a good place to eat 'n sleep, then head north. There are also some quests in the Adventurer's Guild for ya. I can see that you coul' use some money, but I'm afraid you won't fin' any money aroun' these parts."

Then the farmer moves away with his animals. There are not many hours in this day left and we need to think what we should do next.

1: Head north, into the mentioned town.
(+1 Sanity.)

2: Go into the dark forest.
(-1 Sanity.)

3: South, into the distant place.
(+2 Hunger to all party members.)

4: Have a discussion with other party members and let them decide or do something.
(+1 Charisma.)

[Sir monacle]

4, A job couldn't hurt, but I don't think we should go where people are. It's dark enough already, so perhaps going into a forest is not a good idea. Oh, and we're not prepared to go on a long journey. Perhaps this is just because I'm indecisive, so maybe I should let someone else decide.
__________________________________________________ ___________________________________________

After I gave my speech on all given routes, rain begins to pour, soaking us in water. We could still travel, although dark and wet is usually not a good atmosphere.



1: Head north, to the town. (-1 Sanity to L1N3R1D3R and TenebrisNemo, -2 Sanity to sir monacle)

2: Go into the dark forest. (-3 Sanity to all posters)

3: South, into the Baron distance (-3 Sanity, +2 Hunger to all posters)

4: Sneak into the barn (+1 Sanity, +3 Hunger)

[L1N3R1D3R•]

1. I feel like this is the most opportune place to travel at this point, and I'm fine with losing a bit of sanity.

- - - - - - - - - - -

When arriving at the town, we find a mystical magic shop. No, not the card game. We find it interesting, so we walk in and see an old mystic. She tells us that she will help us with the future at some cost.

1. Pay her bread for advice (+1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, -1 Bread)

2. Rummage the nearby alley for five coins, then pay her one (+1 Intelligence, -2 Sanity, -2 HP, +4 Gold Coins)

3. Just ask her for a map of the town (+1 Hunger, +1 Town Map)

4. Leave the creepy place

[Sir monacle]

4, I don't feel comfortable in this town! We must leave immediately!
__________________________________________________ ______________________

We are currently in the town centre, there are many shops, dining halls and inns around us. We are given the choice of going to one of these shops, or getting the hell out of here.

1: Go into the dining hall (-3 Hunger, -1 sanity to sir monacle)

2: Go into the "southSide" inn. (-2 Sanity to sir monacle)

3, (requires 50x gold) Go into the "Fox 'n' berry" inn. (-2 Sanity to sir monacle)

4. Go into the weapons shop. (-1 Sanity to sir monacle)

5. Go into the local market (-1 Sanity to sir monacle)

6. Get the hell out of here. (+1 Sanity to sir monacle, -1 Sanity to L1N3R1D3R and TenebrisNemo)

[TenebrisNemo]

1. I'm hungry. And you need to get used to other people.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The dining hall's staff were kind enough to give me a free meal. After I've eaten, we head back to the center of the town. It's getting late, so I suggest everyone to go into the nearby inn named "SouthSide". Even though Sir monacle resists a little bit, we step inside the inn.

With my charisma, I managed to deal us a room if we pay double price later, because we do not have any money at the moment. We can finally rest our weary bones on comfy beds. We step into the room and get comfortable around the table before going to bed. Looks like the table has some sort of deck on it which is used to play some common card games.

1: Talk about what we should do next. (+1 Sanity to everyone, +1 Charisma to you.)

2: Play some card games with other party members before going to bed. (+1 Intelligence to everyone.)

3: Do some arm wrestling with other party members. (+1 Strength to everyone.)

4: Go straight to bed. (+1 Sanity to everyone, everyone gets the "Rested" status.)

[L1N3R1D3R•]

1. I could use being perfectly sane and a bit happier. Plus, we really need to talk.

- - - - - - - - - -

We end up discussing where we should head to next, and how long we should stay here. Who knows what will happen if we stay, but if we leave, we must all pay with our blood. This town sure is strange.

1. Head west to the mysterious mountains (Everyone: +2 Hunger, -1 Sanity, +1 Strength, -2 HP)

2. Head southeast to the lake of wonders (Everyone: +3 Hunger, +1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, -2 HP)

3. Make Sir monacle face his fears and actually do something instead of fleeing from everything (same effects as either choice above, as well as -1 Sanity & +1 Intelligence to Sir monacle)

4. Stay an extra night (Everyone: replenish "Rested" status)

[Sir monacle]

3, Fine, why don't look around for that quest thing? Maybe we could get a job or something, as we really need some money.
__________________________________________________ ___________________________________________

Before leaving, we come across "the guild of employment", located in the market of the town. Inside the building, there are only three jobs and two quests available to those who don't live here.


1: Queue in line for the "street cleaning" job. (+3 Hunger, status "cleaning job" to all posters)

2: Queue in line for the "Newspaper" job. (status "Newspaper job" to all posters)

3: Queue in line for the "poster" job. (status "Posters, please" to all posters)

4. Queue in line for the "luminescent fish" quest. (status "Quest #1" to all posters)

5. Queue in line for the "Missing broom" quest. (status "Quest #2" to all posters)

6. Leave this place and continue travelling.

[TenebrisNemo]

4. I agree that we should leave the town, so we should take one of the quests. This one seems more interesting.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

After we have accepted the quest, we head to the Lake of Wonders (Everyone: +3 Hunger, +1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, -2 HP). I believe we will find the fish from there. The journey is harsh, for we are travelling in the dark! Only the stars and the moon lighten our path.

When we arrive to the lake, we are tired (Everyone has the Tired status which lasts for 5 posts: -1 Strength, -1 Intelligence, -1 Charisma, -1 Sanity. When the post countdown is finished, everyone's mind blackouts and we skip to the next day, without the Tired and the Rested statuses. We also lose 3 HP when this happens.). I suggest that we set up a camp and get some sleep, but we are also kinda hungry.

1: Set up a campfire and go sleep next to it. (You: -1 Strength. Everyone: Lose the Tired status and gain the Rested status.)

2: Hunt for some fishes from the lake. (You: -1 Strength. +3 Raw Fish [When used: -1 Hunger.])

3: Go straight to sleep without campfire. (Everyone: Lose the Tired status and gain the Rested status. Monsters may attack us more likely during the night.)

[Sir monacle]

2, I eat my bread and try hunting for that fish. (I've used my "bread")
_________________________________________

We spend several hours hunting for that for fish, until someone else arrived to do some fishing. Out of what seems to be bad luck in its purest form, the man that has just arrived gets the fish. We need that fish if we're going to get paid!

1, (requires Strength 5, or more) : Beat him up for that fish. (get item "Luminescent fish", -3 HP)

2, (requires Charisma 6, or more) : Ask him for the fish. (get item "Luminescent fish")

3, (requires intelligence 5 or more) : Steal the fish right off him. (get item "Luminescent fish", -2 Sanity)

4: Forget about the quest and return to "The guild of employment". (all posters lose quest "Luminescent fish")

[TenebrisNemo]

2. I kindly ask him to give the fish to us, for we have been looking for it for hours and we are tired as hell. The stranger gives me the fish and walks away while whistling.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The fish is in our hands. I create a campfire from the branches which are lying around the lake (+1 Hunger). After that, I also eat my bread (-2 Hunger). Then I suggest everyone to sleep before returning to the town and completing our quest. As I lay next to the campfire, you will...

1: Create a fishing rod from the stuff which you can find on the beach. (You:+1 Fishing rod, +2 Hunger.)

2: Go chase some fishes from the lake. (You: +3 Raw Fish [When used: -1 Hunger.], +2 Hunger.)

3: Rest right next to the campfire. (Everyone: Lose the "Tired" status and gain the "Rested" status.)

[L1N3R1D3R•]

3. It's the most reliable option.

- - - - - - - - - -

As we wake, we realize that there is a nearby cave which may contain some items we could use. If we keep our hopes up, we can persevere and find the secret treasure at the bottom of the cave. But first I eat my bread.

1 (requires Charisma and Strength 6 or higher): Venture through the cave and reach the treasure unharmed (Everyone: +2 Charisma, +2 Hunger, +10 Gold coins)

2. Venture through the cave with injuries and reach the treasure (Everyone: +1 Charisma, +3 Hunger, -2 HP, +10 Gold Coins)

3. Talk to a nearby townsperson about the treasure (You: +2 Hunger, +1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma)

4. Pass up this opportunity
