Hello, Recolle.

Let's play a game.

Don't worry -- it's a very fun one, and most of the work is on my part, but I think it'd be a good time sink... and you may even learn a little more about yourself in doing so. You may quit at any point of time and gain rewards from it (those are to be decided, mostly depending on how far you get in your story), though seeing it through to a satisfying end would be the most fruitful for your time.

Now.

Please pick a genre and one of the following colors: Red, Blue, Green.
1. Fantasy
2. Dystopian
3. Romance

Your story's waiting to begin. ♪

That's correct. Would you like to look inside your tome?

[stressweets]

Yes, please!

[twostringsonebow]

You open your spellbook.

Arcane Mark
Prestidigitation
Endure Elements
Desperate Weapon
Songbird
Charm Person
Massacre

You know all of these by heart, of course, so you haven't written any of these down; if another magic user were to study your tome, they'd gain nothing from it. You're a smart cookie.

[ ....... :sweating: at least some of these spells seem pretty easy to figure out... ]

That's great for me, I guess...?
Anyway, back to the topic at hand... Um...
Let's ask around for more information about these Nightwalkers, the towns around here, and things like that then.

[ ...... ]

Also, I'd like to use Charm Person to make Twofingers more receptive to the idea, since he seems not as on-board as everyone else...?
I mean, he doesn't care... So I think it'd be nice if he did.

Twofingers is receptive to magic due to being a Dwarf and highly unused to it being inflicted on him. You cast Charm Person on him, brushing your fingertips against his shoulder, and when he turns on you it's simply inquisitive over the sharp glare it might've been.

"Somethin' the matter, pal?"

Greg's eyes widen and Thorlove seems surprised, too, but she wisely silences the human before he says something he shouldn't. It's probably better this way.

Twofingers will now die for you.

[twostringsonebow]

The Nightwalkers are known by two things: the carnage they leave behind and the noises that occur during it. Some investigation can be done at highly affected areas, if you feel up to the task, and a few of those with missing kin are more than helpful in pointing out where:

The slums.

As for towns nearby, they are mysteriously unaffected by the Nightwalkers... Either they're too far away or it's simply this area's problem to deal with.

Thorlove thinks they should go right to the source, to the slums, and Greg agrees. Twofingers seems to be waiting on your opinion as faithfully as Buttons.

[ D-DIE FOR HIM.........?　that's Too Much

but this is all very good info. umm. ]

I shake my head at Twofingers' inquiry and, ummm...
We'll go to the slums then.

[twostringsonebow]

You go to the slums.

Do you have an idea of what you'd like to do first?

[stressweets]

Not really. Mmm... In horror movies, it's bad to split up, so we should travel as a group and look for signs of these Nightwalker creatures...?

[twostringsonebow]

A good idea, because as night draws close the shadows grow long, and with them the slums begin to lock their doors to outsiders.

You're in the slums. It's a wide area, but thanks to the townspeople you're able to seek out three known locations of the attacks, as there seems to be no sign of the Nightwalkers just yet. To which do you want to visit?

1. The bakery
2. The graveyard
3. The fountain
