After I make this first post, I will wait two full days before I make another that way it gives everyone the time to look at it, and make a decision! I hope you all enjoy the story, and don't forget to have fun!!-----------You, along with several others seem to have been transported to an abandoned town. The buildings here look ransacked, and appear to be empty. The air around you is cold. You look around for any signs of life, but other than the people who were transported with you nothing can be seen with the physical eye.
The longer you stand here, the more you are noticing about the surrounding area. To the right of you is a dirt path. It seems wide enough for a horse and buggy. The dirt path itself seems worn, and appears to be used often. It looks like a horse passed through not to long ago. To your left, the road seems to end where a vast forest begins. You can barely make it out, but there seems to be a small path covered by the branches. Someone else seems to point out a plume of smoke in the distance. It seems quite large for how far away it appears, which causes some room for concern.
On the road in front of you lies over-the shoulder satchels.
It appears there is one for each of you. Each satchel contains the following items:
-a flask of water
-a package of dried meat and fruit
-a small satchet filled with an unknown powder
-a golden ring with the inscription that is illegible
-a small bundle of rope (approximately 6 feet)
What will you do?
1.) Investigate one of the abandoned buildings.
2.) Take the dirt path.
3.) Take the small path leading into the woods.
4.) Start traveling toward the smoke plume in the distance. -

Yukine and Br0wnieBunnie pick up their satchels and head down the dirt path.
As they both traverse the well worn path, they notice the further they travel the more frequent tracks there are. Eventually, they see a cross-road in the distance. Before they get to the cross-roads, Yukine notices there are cart tracks that seem to have veered off the dirt path into some shrubbery in the distance.
There appears to be no movement from the cart that can be seen from the road, but slight neighs from the horse can be heard from the distance. It appears to still be attached to the cart.
Br0wnieBunnie looks at the crossroads in the distance, and notices there is a sign with town names and distances in the middle of the path.
The sign pointing to the left says Holmfirth-50 miles.
The sign pointing to the right says Aberystwyth-120 miles.
The sign pointing straight says Black Hollow-Dead Ahead.
What will you do?
1.) Go investigate the cart in the distance.
2.) Approach the crossroads and take the path to the left.
3.) Approach the crossroads and take the path to the right.
4.) Approach the crossroads and keep going straight.

LittleNerd and WowCrazyInsane pick up their satchels and head into woods following the small path.
As they both make their way through the trees, the sound of birds chirping can be heard. The further they go, the path seems to widen, but the forest grows darker. Eventually, they both approach a clearing. In the center of the clearing is a big rock, with a flat surface. On the rock there appears to be etchings, but they aren't in a language that either of them can decipher.
LittleNerd approaches the rock, and the etchings begin to glow. The closer they get, the brighter the etchings gleam.
WowCrazyInsane walks around the clearing and hears a waterfall in the distance, but also notices there is a another path heading deeper into the forest. They relay this information to LittleNerd.
What do you do?
1.) Figure out what is causing the etchings in the rock to glow.
2.) Head toward the sounds of the waterfall.
3.) Take the path that goes deeper into the forest. -
i will investigate the cart in the distance
-
I would like to figure out what is causing the rock etchings to glow
-
approach the crossroads and go to the right
-
i wanna check out the waterfall

Br0wnieBunnie decides to visit the cart, and upon getting closer you notice the cart is flipped onto it's side. The door to the cart is open, but it looks like you would need something to help you get to the top to see if anything was inside. Attached to the cart is the horse. It is neighing, and moving a considerable amount. You see the way that it is attached seems simple enough to take apart. Surveying the area, you notice there are arrows riddling the cart itself, and there seems to be footprints leading away from the cart as well. You aren't sure how far these footprints go due to the terrain.
What do you do?
1.) Free the horse
2.) Investigate the carriage (This will require you using the rope)
3.) Investigate the footprints leading away from the cart.

Yukine decides to approach the crossroads and take the path toward Aberystwyth. After traveling about twenty miles, you start get fatigued as you have been travelling for 6 hours. You spot a small sign stating that there an inn, but it would take you off your path. The lights can be seen from the road, so it's not too far. The path toward the Inn seems to be decorated with mushrooms, which is a bit peculiar. Across from road where the inn is, you also notice something sparkling in the grass.
What do you do?
1.) Eat some of your rations, and drink some of your water. You will continue forward and hope for another place to rest.
2.) Take the path down to the inn.
3.) See what the item in the grass is.
----------
LittleNerd steps away from the rock, noticing the glowing sigils fade away the further you move from the rock. You decided to move right next to it and something in the satchel starts to vibrate. This peaks your curiosity, but also makes you a bit nervous. The thought of going down the path crosses your mind, but you are also determined to figure out why the sigils are glowing.
What do you do?
1.) Pull out the item from the satchel and place it on the stone. (This will remove the ring from your bag)
2.) Investigate the path that goes deeper into the forest.
3.) Go to the waterfall and join WowCrazyInsane
----------
WowCrazyInsane takes the path toward the waterfall. The path itself seems like it was rarely used. Once you get to the waterfall, it looks a lot bigger than you anticipated. The water cascades over the top of a cliff and falls into the pool that rests in front of you. The water coming down looks different though. You are not sure what it is exactly, but you assume it's just one of those 'gut feelings'. You approach the water, and notice something shimmering on the bottom. While leaning down to get a closer look, you see someone standing at the top of the falls out of the corner of your eye.
What do you do?
1.) Go investigate the person who is at the top of the falls.
2.) Grab the shiny item at the bottom of the pool.
3.) Drink the water from your flask, and fill it up with the water from the waterfall. -
i might die, but my heart tells me to free the horse
