The Gaming Den

Go over to the pile of ancient bones. Surely there is something useful to be found in them dry bones, right?

First of all, I have no objections to the Provisions being consumed. It is how I would have played that. Second of all, the "Sphinx's words are never quite what they seem", makes me very suspicious of the Crio-Sphinx's words "The left route leads further, the right leads to sudden dea...

My vote is to run to try to break through their ever decreasing circle, like Burt Stanton did. Taking on six Dark Elves at once is suicide.

A perfectly ordinary, peaceful deer in the middle of a clearing caused by the same evil that is ravaging the forest? That is a textbook definition of a trap in my opinion, and it is not worth running into just to satisfy our curiosity. My vote is not to investigate this remarkable phenomenon.

Axes are unwieldy, and the axe doesn't seem to be any more magical than our sword Telessa is. I vote not to take the axe. Oh, and having 13 STAMINA is a tad on the low side for my tastes. If it is allowed, I also vote to consume 1 Provision before we proceed.

Just because there is no sign of life, doesn't mean that there isn't some evil being inside the hut waiting to kill us. I feel that if we go up to the hut, we will be ambushed by said evil being. My vote is to lie for a while where we are, under the hollies and watch.

My vote is to make the attempt. Of course we're sure. After all, we can take a little poison, right?

If an area is fenced off, that means that there is something valuable inside right? My vote is to go into the fenced-off area and check it out.

Quickly! Follow the trail! (Shameless plug for one of the better movies that I watched in my childhood) Of course I'm voting for the left option. To choose otherwise without a compelling reason would be to endorse fascism. A fear of possible creatures that might have made a trail is not a compellin...

Something bad is definitely present in the clearing, since the trees have rotted away to nothingness in that area. My vote is to walk around it and keep to the trees.

This is a tough one for me. On one hand, the place seems to be affiliated with Good, so the pool should be beneficial for us, on paper. On the other hand, the reference "as a bastion against Evil" might indicate that this pool might be "forbidden", and we might be angering any gu...

Running and hiding would just put our character at the mercy at whatever is causing this fear. My vote is to have DVS stay where he is, as he has very good skill and can at least prepare himself to fight whatever is coming after him.

Having to push the sword and backpack in front of DVS in order to explore the tunnel is just *asking* for trouble and is not a risk that I am comfortable taking. The lack of a draught is also not a good sign.

My vote is to continue up the hillside.

The fact that it was used by some animal means that the cave is safe to inhabit in right? My vote is to spend the night in this cave, as I think DVS should be able to up a suitable defense against any of its previous inhabitants.

Good things always come in caves. And there are plenty of caves that are actually GOOD to sleep in. So my vote will be to find a cave large enough to spend the night in.

We don't know how strong the stags are and when and where they could help us, so asking for their company and protection is out. I feel that information about how to defeat Istra can be found elsewhere, so that option is also not too useful. I also feel that we don't necessarily need to know that th...

Approach the death ground, as gut feelings should take precedence over old wives' tales.

Carry on through the valley, as our hero should fear no neutral aura. For we are with DVS; his sword and his power also comfort him.

Sure, cast the Finding spell and find out what is so special about this spot.

Hmm ... southwest is getting a little too close to the culture and connotations of the Deep South. I vote to go northwest, as that is the purest left direction in my opinion.

Go back to bed. Maybe we can restore more STAMINA points or get some more dream clues.

Stay where we are, of course. Running into the storm is suicide.

Start walking. Our hero has had enough staying still from the last dream.

I'm thinking this dream is a test of courage of some sort, so I vote NOT to struggle and see if we get anything for passing this courage test.

Boo! Neo is a more badass and better sounding name!

My vote will be to make a bed under some bracken in a little dell, as our elf will be better hidden from any enemies than if he climbed up a tree, where any halfway decent flying predator could kill him in his sleep.
