Survive on Coroleya - Decide Your Fate Game

Scenario 1 - Choice 4

Choice Results are at the bottom of the page. Goodluck!

You are travelling out on the open road, the sun shining above you and the smell of manure thick about the air. After completing another successful quest as a mercenary you cannot help, but feel content with your lot in life and how it has turned out. Escorting the family of merchants through the dreaded forests of Plymouth had a been a breeze, with nothing but a few scratches to show for your effort. And now you are finally journeying home to a well-earned rest, when you hear shouts and screams coming from your left. At first you are uncertain as to whether to involve yourself in such matters, but quickly come to the conclusion that you must still investigate, if only to ensure that the road ahead is at least safe to travel upon. Steeling yourself for battle you stride up the hill and towards the sound of the shrill voices that cut through the air.

Slowing your step, upon reaching the outskirts of what you assume to be a village. You stop to take a look at what's taking place, and see a most worrying sight. For you see before a large pack of Silver wolves the size of horses slaughtering the inhabitants of the human settlement. And although most of the villagers lay dead, their life force bleeding out beside them, you do see a group of villagers in a large grey stone building at the end of town, fending off the beasts with pitchforks and spears. However the pack of Silver wolves seem unwilling to give up on any prey and have surrounded the building, clawing at the walls with their powerful paws. Each second that passes, the situation in the village grows ever more dire, with more Silver Wolves abandoning the corpses they had been feasting upon to join their brothers attacking the surviving villagers. You know instinctively that without any help these people will surely die.

As you come to this sudden realisation, you find yourself studying the surrounding buildings and notice that most of the houses in the village have thatched roofs that could easily catch on fire. You also notice a brazier that still has a few burning logs within it. Not far from the brazier you also see a human guard lying face down in the dirt with his guts spilled out beside him. The fool had probably thought to fight the creatures with fire. A foolish notion since Silver wolves, while fearing fire, will still attack if their bellies are hungry enough. However your eyes do light up, when you see a loaded crossbow beside the dead soldier. A useful weapon against such creatures, but a weapon that will take time to reload with each shot. Then there is always the option of just looting the nearby houses. After all, who is going to stop you? The villagers? In any case it's time to make a decision.

Choice 4. Do you take this opportunity to loot items from the abandoned homes of the villagers, while their busy dealing with the Silver Wolves?

Grinning like a maniac at your good fortune, you slink into the unguarded village, and wander into one of the houses; utterly oblivious to the chaos going on outside. Glancing about the barely furnished room, you see little of value here except for some silvers goblets, a couple of gold pieces and a necklace. Stuffing them into a sack you find on the wooden floorboards, you quietly move onto the next house and smile hungrily. Whoever lived here must have been wealthy merchant or mage. The house decorated with artwork has shelves upon shelves filled with books and ornamental weaponry that hasn't been touched by time. Here you find a box of jewelry that should be worth quite bit in its self, a golden platter and some roasted meat, which you devour in two quick bites. (+ 30 Health Points.)

Hearing a shriek from outside, you peer out the window just in time to see the stone wall crumble inward. The silver wolves bursting into the building to begin wreaking havoc on the surviving populace.

Deciding it would be best leave right now while the wolves were still distracted, you slip out the door, when a nearby silver wolf takes notice of you. 

A great shaggy beast, with light grey fur, it strides menacingly towards you, before bounding forward at great speed.

With no way to outrun the fast approaching beastie, you drop your stolen goods and swing round to face the creature. Dodge its leap for your throat and deal it a savage blow across its eyes with your dagger, but not before being sliced open by its sharp claws that rake into your flesh.(- 20 Health Points.)

Grunting from the blow, you roll on the ground and press your attack at the blinded wolf, stabbing and slashing, until a lucky strike manages to knock you backwards.(- 30 Health Points.) 

Close to victory, you charge in again, to chop at its hind legs, before ending its life with a swift stab into one of its yellow eyes.

Out of breath, you dust yourself off, grab you stolen goods and leave the village, whistling a merry tune.
