>>29026714
>A) Knock on the doors

>>29026714
>B) Open the doors

It is time. Now, we can embrace the monkey within.

>>29027202
You approach the great red doors, relaxing your breath and composing yourself. Now you realize how much sweat and dirt coats you after the long climb, but there's no time to worry at this point. You raise a fist and rap on the door, softly at first, but then with a deal more force when the sound it makes doesn't seem adequate.

Slowly, the doors creak open and you squeeze in. Within you find a dark hall, tall and bare save for rows of candles lining the walls. In the center of the room is a pillow, made from red cloth. Resting on it is a gold circlet.

A) Inspect the circlet
B) Look around the room

>>29027525
>A) Inspect the circlet

>>29027525
>B) Look around the room

Ignorre the circlet for now. Insepct the room for traps, triggers, other markings, tapestries, etc.

>>29027535
You approach the gold circlet and duck down to see it more closely. It shines dully in the candlelight. You pick it up and feel it, noticing that its weight is a bit less that you would have assumed, given its size. You try to bend and twist it on your hands, but it doesn't give in the slightest.

Looking around, there doesn't appear to be anyone in the room, only doors on either side of the hall. You look back at the circlet, and are tempted to place it on your head.

Let's see who is about.

>>29028105
No, the obvious answer is always left. In every RPG ever, it is left.

>>29028090
No, Wrenloft.
>B)

>>29028105
You set the circlet back down on its pillow, and get up from the floor. You walk over to the right side of the chamber, and inspect the door. It seems to be unlocked and unbarred. You give it a push, and it begins to creak open. You push harder and enter the room beyond.

Here you find a room that is open to the sky, and whose walls are covered in wild vines. The vines reach down to the floor, where they twist and head toward the door at the other end. Your feet seem to get tangled up in the vines as you walk through them. Upon reaching the other door, you shove it open and behold a grand courtyard with a carved stone floor. It is shaped in a circle, with several concentric discs of stone, surrounding a large peach tree. The fruit of the tree appears ripe, despite the season, and some of it has fallen onto the ground, and bruised slightly.

A) Head back the other way
B) Inspect the fruit
C) Pick the fruit
D) Take the fallen fruit

>>29028443
>B) Inspect the fruit

>>29028443

>D) Take the fallen fruit

>>29028443
>D) Take the fallen fruit

>>29028566
>>29028640
>>29028872
You bend down and pick up the fallen fruit around the base of the great peach tree. You hold it up, and look at the bruises. They are soft and slightly discolored, but otherwise the fruit seems fine.

You look to the fruit still dangling from the tree's branches. They seem much brighter and more appealing than the ones below, but they would certainly be a great pain to reach. Now that you've thought so much about food, you begin to feel a mite peckish. You take a bite of the fruit in your hand. It is a bit too soft, and not very juicy. You finish it, and don't feel satisfied at all. Suddenly you hear a voice from above,

"The fruit at the top is much more scrumptious you know."

You are taken aback by the sound, and raise you head to the tree branches. You see a small bird there, looking back at you.

A) "Hello."
B) "I didn't want to take the good ones."
C) "These ones seemed easier to get."
D) Say nothing
E) Other

>>29029125
>A) "Hello."
>B) "I didn't want to take the good ones."

>>29029125
>B) "I didn't want to take the good ones."

>>29029125
>A) "Hello."
>B) "I didn't want to take the good ones."
Not our tree to take fruit from. Besides, it is a shame to see edible fruit go to waste. We have gone hungry too much for that.

>>29029226
Seconding this

>>29029226
Yeah, good one

>>29029177
>>29029226
You greet the bird, and tell him that you only ate the fruit from the ground because you didn't feel right taking the better fruit from the branches. The bird tilts his head.

"That's awfully foolish. The fruit on the ground is all bruised and bland. The ones up top are still juicy and sweet."

You tell him that you don't like wasting food, especially after having felt the pain of hunger so many times.

"You are a peculiar one. Usually only weak and sick animals bother with floor fruit. All the smart ones pick the best and most tasty ones. Still, I suppose it's no crime to be dull witted. Tell me man, why are you here, at this place?"

A) Tell him you want to train
B) Tell him you're looking for the monks
C) Tell him off for insulting you
D) Other

>>29029436
>B) Tell him you're looking for the monks

>B) Tell him you're looking for the monks

Need both physical and spiritual training.

>>29029481
>>29029546
"Ah, I see. Well that would be a bit of a problem. You see there are no monks here. There were once, I'm sure, but now they've all gone. It seems they didn't enjoy living here very much. Even the stubborn ones were driven off. I don't know why, they just were. Anyway, you're better off just heading back down the mountain now, before it gets too dark."

A) "There must be something left of them."
B) "I'm not leaving."
C) "Can't I at least stay the night?"
D) Other

>>29029848
>D) Other
"I came all the way here, I might as well utilize the place. Did they leave any written records of their wisdom or training facilities and equipment?"

>>29029848
Dat bitch lying!

>>29029848
>A) "There must be something left of them."

>>29029848
>A) "There must be something left of them."

Need to do some more looking before giving up.

>>29029848
>B) "I'm not leaving
Nope.

>>29029848

It's another test

>>29029848
>B) "I'm not leaving."
Monk Ross came looking for monkey monks, Monk Ross isn't leaving till he sees monkey monks. Even if he has to make them himself.

...also, can't stay long. Sorry, guys.

>>29030049
Exactly, we're showing our determination. Ross will see these monkey monks if its the last thing Ross will fo.

>>29029948
>>29029949
>>29030028
You beg him to tell you anything about the monks, and where they might have left some clues behind to follow. He appears to think for a moment, picking at the feathers on the underside of his wing.

"Well it's possible they left something behind, perhaps some of their manuals, but I wouldn't know anything about that. I can't read, you see. In fact, I've never been entirely sure I could speak. It's a wonder really. Anyway, if you want to find any of their things you'll have to search the temple, and even if you find them you'll never be able to master their techniques."

A) Thank him for the help and begin searching
B) Ask him why he doesn't think you'll be able to learn
C) Ask him if he knows anything about the monks' fighting style
D) Other

I like that.

ask him if he knows anything about the cute spider girl

>>29030380
>>29030430
>>29030449
You ask him why he doesn't believe in your ability to master the Golden Monkey style of martial arts, and if he might be able to teach you anything about it.

"Saru no Ken is an ancient style perfected by wise monks and warriors thousands of years ago. Or so I've heard. And I do know a few of the basic forms, but only because the monks kept shouting at the children to perform them every morning. I tell you it was impossible to get any sleep around here because of them. But no matter, I wouldn't tell you them anyway because someone so simple minded they can't even pick out good fruit would never have the aptitude to master such precise movements and forms."

You feel slightly insulted by his claims, but think that maybe it would be wiser to go elsewhere instead of directing your anger at him.

A) Demand he teach you what he knows
B) Walk off and look elsewhere for help

>>29030787
>B) Walk off and look elsewhere for help
"Just so you know, I didn't pick the good fruit because if anyone was still around that would be stealing. The bad fruit they wouldn't want, so it was ok to eat it"

>>29030787

B. walk away

he is a jerk

>B) Walk off and look elsewhere for help

You turn your back on the bird and head back to the hall you came from. Past the vine room, you return to the entrance hall. The circlet remains on the red pillow, just as you left it. The room also appears undisturbed, even the candles.

A) Inspect the circlet again
B) Head through the other door

>>29031213
B) Head through the other door

>>29031213

Lets hope we find us a library, or perhaps a training ground.

>>29031235
>>29031271
>>29031324
You cross the room to the other door. Similar to the first one, this door opens with only a bit of force. The monks here must not have had much love for locks or knobs.

The hallway on the other side of the door is long and narrow, and curves to the right with rows of doors on each side. Some of them are jammed shut, but the majority open fairly easily and lead only to small cell-like rooms with beds and nothing else. Near the end of the hall, you find larger doors on either side, as well as one directly ahead. The left door leads to another courtyard, but this one resembles a large balcony with trees growing naturally from the walls. The branches bare no fruit, but there are some colorful flowers growing on them

The right door opens up to a smaller room, with large fire pits and black pots and pans. The air inside smells as if something has gone rotten, and so you have no urge to inspect the room further if you don't have to.

The center door opens to reveal a great garden, complete with a mote surrounding a raised stone platform. There appear to be various fruits and vegetables growing here, untouched by human hands in quite some time.

A) Enter the left room
B) Enter the right room
C) Enter the center room

>>29031708

>C) Enter the center room

>>29031741
>>29031760
>>29031796
You enter the center room, gazing around and taking in what there is to see. the garden around the perimeter appears quite healthy. The water is clean and clear. You climb the incline to the raised stone platform and see there three stone statues, depicting men seated on red pillows. One of them has his hands over his ears. The second has his over his eyes. The third has his over his mouth. They are a bit unsettling, in your opinion. On the floor before the center statue is a small paper book. The cover seems to show writing in a language you do not understand, and a sketch of a monkey in a tree. You reach down and take it, flipping through the first few pages. They depict human silhouettes, taking various forms and stances. At the last page, you see an odd circle, detailed with various smaller circles and mind boggling shapes.

A) Pocket the manual and keep searching
B) Try to copy some of the forms in the manual
C) Try to figure out the circles in the back of the manual

>>29032102
>B) Try to copy some of the forms in the manual
>C) Try to figure out the circles in the back of the manual
First try some of the forms, then get bored and decide to check the circles again.

>>29032102
>B) Try to copy some of the forms in the manual

>>29032102
>B) Try to copy some of the forms in the manual
I hope everyone's prepared for that bird to taunt us.

>>29032102

C. we gonna learn monkey style

>>29032155
>>29032208
You study the manual for a few minutes, trying to figure out the proper positioning to them. Once you think you've got them down, you tuck the book into your belt and begin mimicking the forms. They feel odd at first, taking an odd sort of balance to maintain. You can only hold them for a few seconds before having to stop yourself from falling, or getting sore muscles. As you are trying to perform a particularly difficult one, you hear laughter. You look up and spy the same bird from before.

"You are quite bad at this. Do you know? Your stomach is completely weak, and I'm surprised you made it all the way up here with such thin, girly wrists."

A) Toss a stone at the bird
B) Ignore the bird
C) Other

>>29032381
>B) Ignore the bird
Keep practicing, eventually check out those circles.

>>29032381
>B) Ignore the bird

>>29032381

C. listen to the bird

>>29032496
It said it won't help us, and it's not giving us advice, only non-constructive criticism.

>>29032381
>B) Ignore the bird

>>29032408
>>29032460
You try to tune out the bird's incessant heckling, and focus on the forms. The further into the book you go, the more nonsensical they seem to get. Your abdominal muscles begin to ache, and your joints stiffen. You hear flapping as the bird swoops down and perches on the head of one of the statues.

"I'm serious. How on earth did you manage t climb the mountain, when you are so flimsy? Why come here at all? You don't seem to even be from here? Are you ignoring me? That's very rude of you. I hope this isn't how you treat other people."

You continuing your practice, letting out small grunts and pants whenever a position or stretch is painful. Eventually you make it halfway through the book, and simply fall over from the poor sense of balance. You roll on your back and look up at the blue sky. The bird hops down and perches on your stomach.

"Just feel this potbelly you've got. Pathetic. Most of the monks had rock hard stomachs by the time they were only 14, you know. How old are you? Old enough to be climbing mountains, I suppose. I don't suspect you could do so much as 50 sit-ups as you are now."

A) Swat the bird away
B) Tell the bird to be silent
C) Try to do as it dares
D) Other

>>29032679
>C) Try to do as it dares

>>29032679
>C) Try to do as it dares
"Hm. Sure, I'll give it a try."

>>29032679
>C) Try to do as it dares

>>29032679
>C) Try to do as it dares
"Fine, you heckling beast, let's see if I can do as you have claimed I cannot!"

>>29032718
>>29032720
>>29032758
You tuck your hands behind your head and begin pulling your upper body up with your stomach muscles. The bird hops off of your stomach and perches on the toe of your boot. You find that indeed, 50 sit-ups are hard after all the activity you've done today, but you power through them, before letting yourself go and panting as you rub your sore stomach.

"Oh, so you did it. Well you are so full of surprises. Of course the monks were much better. They could do nearly a thousand before even breaking a sweat. And they didn't do them lying down. They used that rack, down there. Much harder."

You peer over the edge of the platform and see the rack the bid is referring to. It is made of three poles, two holding up a third, similar to ones you've seen used to dry laundry. Hanging from the top pole are two loops of rope. You deduce that the ankles must be put through those loops, and the sit ups performed that way.

"Tell me, man. Do you truly wish to learn the style of the monks here?" You nod. "Then I suppose, if you are kind enough to help me, I could teach you the basics at least. What do you say?"

A) Accept
B) Decline, you can do it on your own
C) Ask what he needs first
D) Ask why he wants to help you suddenly

A) Accept

>A) Accept
Ross will do what is needed to fulfill his dream of being the Drunken Monkey Monk.

>>29032975
>>29032970
>>29032965
You sit up and look at the bird. You tell won't agree to help him unless he tells you what it is he needs of you first. He pecks at his wing.

"Well it is a bit embarrassing to say. Before the monks left, they would let me eat from the peach tree you saw earlier. Sadly, I'm frightfully small, and can't pick them on my own. That, and the branches are much too thick to lean down from to peck them. I could eat the ones of the ground, but frankly I'm far too used to the best. You understand. And so, if you pick the fruit for me, I will be your teacher. Who knows, with my help, you may actually turn out to be worth something. Though lets not ask for miracles."

A) Accept the trade
B) Decline the trade

>>29033147
A) Accept the trade

>>29033147
>A) Accept the trade

>>29033177
>>29033178
>>29033190
You agree to the bird's terms, and he flutters about in glee. The two of you return to the peach tree, and you pick for him his choice of the fruit near the top. You return to the ground dirty and scratched, but the bird seems delighted to taste the sweet fruits. He even offers you one, which to your surprise is indeed much better than the ones from the ground you had earlier. It fills you with energy as it bites at your cheeks, and the juice flows so much that you are forced to bend over as you eat to avoid soiling your shirt.

And so begins your training. The first day is easy, but from then on the bid puts you through the wringer in terms of training. Hours of conditioning, with very little rest. You are sore at night, and the stiff beds don't help. You eat mostly vegetables and peaches. Before you know it, autumn is upon you.

You awake in the morning, and your belly rumbles. You've gone months without meat. Your body is much thinner than when you arrived, but your stamina and muscle have grown impressively despite this. You leave your bed and head out into the garden. The statues on the platform are there, just and always, and just as silent. You sit cross legged before them, and shut your eyes as you take in the sun. Before long, you hear fluttering.

"Hello, man. You look especially ugly today."

A) Be silent
B) "Sounds like someone isn't very hungry today."
C) "Good morning, teacher."
D) Other

>>29033335
>C) "Good morning, teacher."

C) "Good morning, teacher."

OP, can you do more descriptions on Ross? His last name? How he looks? Backstory?

You know, flesh out the character sheet more?

>>29033335
>C) "Good morning, teacher."

>>29033387
He looks like the op picture, his name is just Ross unless OP chooses otherwise, his personality is as we decide and his backstory is a villager from a fishing family.
Not that any of that is terribly important anyway. Welcome to Rags to Riches.

>>29033415
"Oh, I never get tired of hearing that! It sends shivers up my little spine! Say it again, man." You repeat, and the little bird does in fact shiver with delight. "You have done surprisingly well in your training to this point. I'm amazed you managed to go so long without meat as well. I was going to have you do more of the same, but I think it's time we move to the next step. Normally you'd need years more training before you were prepared to learn Saru no Ken properly, but honestly I'm getting bored of watching you do the same thing every day. Take this." He flutters down to you and lays something at your feet. It is the gold circlet you found on your first day here. "This is a relic passed down by the monks, worn by their most wizened masters. If you don it, it will bind to your skull, but you will be gifted with the knowledge of the masters of old. You won't be anywhere near their level of course, but it will help you feel more at ease when learning the techniques."

A) Thank him, and don the circlet
B) Refuse the circlet. You will learn on your own

>>29033651
>B) Refuse the circlet. You will learn on your own

"Oh, you're no fun at all, man! To think you'd see through my trick. In truth, this circlet is nothing more than fancy jewelry. I only wanted to see if you'd fall for my joke. Bah. You are more clever than I assumed. There is something you've been doing this whole time that has helped you in your training, though. Do you know what it is, man? Oh don't bother guessing I'll just tell you. It's the peaches! Didn't you think it was an odd tree? The elder monks ate them to gain the wisdom of nature, but forbade the lesser acolytes from having even a taste. I of course, got to eat my fill. Now that I think of it, that's likely why I'm able to speak the words of men. Peculiar, isn't it? In any case, you've spent far too long cooped up in here. Today we are descending the mountain, and getting you some proper real life experience. How does that sound?"

A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip
B) Tell him you don't feel ready to leave yet

>>29033869

A. yes master

>>29033869
>B) Tell him you don't feel ready to leave yet

A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip

Let go visit the spider girl.

HEY, the spider must have eaten the fruit!!! That how it could be sentient.

>>29033869
>A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip

It's time. The monkey must descend the mountain and make his presense known to those in city.

Time to find our spider queen

>>29033869
>A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip
Let's go collect our spider keeping friend before venturing into the wider world.

>>29033869
A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip
But we visit the Spider girl.

Bring some fruit with us!

>>29033869
>>29033947
>>29033942
>>29033930
>>29033923
Also, Ross did tell Spider Girl he thought she was cute. Maybe she has lost some of that fear of hers, at least toward Ross, right?

>>29033963
Yes, we can't forget our fruit! Perhaps we can bring back some peach seeds with us and leave them with our spider queen? Perhaps she can grow them within her home. I assumed it was some sort of hollowed out tree, honestly.

>>29033963
Smart, we should grab three or four with peaches with us.

>>29033976
Hopefully. She was a damn good alchemist. Perhaps we can get the crow to permit us taking her a couple of peaches.

>>29033869
>A) Agree, and begin packing for the trip

>>29034006
yeah, definitely.

>>29034006
Are you thinking we should share some with Spider Girl?

>>29034077
Maybe, I was thinking more on "training snack of magical wisdom".
But if Ross' waif... I mean if his friend wants some.

>>29033942
>>29033947
>>29033930
You spend the next few hours washing and packing for your journey. You fill a small sack with an extra set of clothes, as well as an armful of peaches and some things from the garden. You sling the sack over your shoulder and make your way out of the temple. It's the first time in a long time that you've seen the stone steps. They don't seem nearly as daunting from the top. You take a deep breath in, and hold it, savoring it for a moment, then release and get a running start on the trek down. You take the steps two at a time at first. Then 5 at a time. Then you are leaping down them at great speed. The bird struggles to keep up with you near the bottom. You reach the end of the steps, but cannot stop your momentum once you get there. You are sent tumbling off of the side of the mountain.

You catch and correct yourself quickly, and soon find your feet moving on their own. You run down the side of the mountain, barely clinging to the rock incline. You feel the wind in your hair, and see the wonders of the valley laid out before you. Far down below, you can see the house of your caretaker, and make a beeline for it. Faster and faster you run, until you near the foot, where you plant your feet and come to a skidding stop. The bird manages to catch you, huffing and puffing as it approaches.

"Dear god *huff* man. I didn't *huff* expect you to move *huff* so fast so soon. Where are we anyway? Why did you stop here?"

>>29034318
You tell the bird the story of your first attempt at climbing the mountain. He guffaws haughtily at the part where you fall. You tell him about being injured, and being fed and given the strange potions by your caretaker, and the time you spent talking at her while you healed. You ask if it would be alright to speak with her for a while before leaving on your journey proper, and he agrees. You make your way toward the house.

As you approach, you sense something amiss. Upon closer inspection, you see that the great black iron cauldron that once stood bubbling in the room near the door, has been split clean in two and knocked over. The cut is clean, and the liquid that has spilled from it is still warm. The rest of the study appears to have been ransacked. Books and broken glass are strewn about. There is no sign of anyone.

Then you hear the creak of a floorboard from up the stairs.

"I have killed the beast!"

>>29034571
>>29034590
>>29034612
You approach the stairs and look up. There doesn't appear to be anything there. You begin climbing and looking for any clues as to what transpired.

Something turns the corner sharply, and collides with your face, sending you tumbling backward down the stairs and bleeding your nose. You look up and see a large man with an iron hammer descending upon you. You roll backward and get to your feet as he slams the hammer into the wood floor, causing the planks to splinter. The man before you is large and filthy, but only very faintly familiar.

"Finally found you, you little rat. Now you die!" He shouts as he comes at you with the hammer.

A) Backstep, take the fight outside

Just like segata did to those who spoke shit about Sega Saturn.

Get in close. As masters of unarmed combat, cqc is our playground. Giving him room to swing a hammer is q bad idea.

>>29034846
>A) Backstep, take the fight outside
Well, time to end this fucker.

>>29034948
But we are acrobatic fighters.

>>29034892

As monks, we dont need room to maneuver. He does, though. Force him up the stairs.

Which still works more to our advantage indoors.

So, it seems we should handled this back in the other village. Well, now we've set ourselves up though. The ones who brought terror to the city and the ones who will make it right!

>>29034892
>>29034859
>>29034950
You backpedal, luring him outside. You see the bird take flight in fear as the man charges you with his hammer. He swings wildly, giving you good time to avoid his attacks. He drags the hammer through the air over your head, then upward, then across your belly, forcing you to lean forward and draw your torso back. He takes advantage of this position and drives a headbutt into your skull. You dash back, landing poorly as you try to gain composure. There is a familiar ringing in your ears as he rushes you with a hammer swing aimed for your shoulder.

A) Dodge to one side
B) Backstep
C) Try to throw him

>>29035165
You move to the left as the hammer falls, and drive your fist into the side of his face in retaliation. It does little damage, but it does enrage him. His strikes become more rapid, but much sloppier as a result. You are able to sneak in several body blows as he assault you. However as you maneuver, your foot hits a patch of mud and slides out from beneath you. As you work to regain balance, he drives the hammer into your side and sends you flying back toward the house. You get up, feeling your side. Just a bruise, but a big one.

He comes at you again, aiming for a great downward swing at your head. You roll to the side and watch as he strikes the wall. You have a moment to strike now.

A) Drive your knee into the side of his face
B) Try to disarm him
C) Jump onto his back

You bring your weight back, then launch it forward and focus it into your right knee. It connects with his right temple, and he crumples to the floor, grabbing his head. He seems quite dazed by the blow. You approach and kick his hammer away, then grab the collar of his shirt.

Knock him out first, then check inside. If she's not ther, proceed to wake him up and beat the answer out of him.

>>29035629
>>29035609
Isn't it easier if we ask him what he did to her, and then know him out.

You ask him, in a powerful tone, where the residents of this house are, and why he is here. He spits in your face, and you respond by breaking his nose. He cries in pain, and you swing your leg over him. You proceed to drive your knuckles into his temples, demanding answers from him. Evantually he gives and and confesses to helping his comrades kidnap the girl, and take her away a few hours ago. They apparently wanted revenge for you getting them driven out of town by the locals, months ago.

"Our boss kept chasing you down, beating up everyone we saw for information. Eventually we found out you were here, and staked the place out. After you didn't come back, we decided we'd take the girl to see if that would draw you out."

You ask where they took her, and learn that they dragged her back into the town at the base of the mountain. If you don't show up in the next couple of days to get her, they plan to travel to the coast and sell her off to smugglers.

>>29035826
Having extracted all the information you need from him, you draw your fist back, and hammer his forehead with a mighty blow that seems to create ripples in the grass blades beneath his head. He foams at the mouth for a moment, then gives up the ghost. You call up to the bird, telling him that you need to make for the town immediately. He does not protest, droping down to perch on your shoulder. You head off in the direction of town, hitting a full sprint the entire way.

When you arrive, the town seems to be a bit off. Many of the people are keeping their heads down as you pass. Some of the shops and stands appear to have been wrecked and turned over, and their owners are nowhere in sight. You reach the center of town, and begin searching for the place they are holding your caretaker.

A) Ask about the thugs around town
B) Ask about the girl
C) Try to make some noise and draw them out
D) Other

>>29036168
>A) Ask about the thugs around town
>B) Ask about the girl

>>29036168
Seconding.

>>29036145
If I recall correctly, WE didn't actually kill any fishmen. Wounded, certainly. Assisted in their death, absolutely. But actually killed one? I don't believe so. Though, I suppose that's not too important.

>A) Ask about the thugs around town
It's unlikely we'll get anything, but it's worth a shot. No one in town's going to know much about the girl, I'm guessing. Drawing all the thugs too us at once just seems like a bad idea.

Alternatively,
>D) Other
Follow the trail of destruction while trying to keep out of sight. If we can, let's locate where she's being held without letting them know we're here.

>>29036168

B. ask about the girl

>>29036168

"Excuse me ma'am, where are the town guard?"

If she can't direct us to them, ask her where tue thugs that did this are.

>>29036168
Mr. Rags, how long do you plan to keep going, and what should the thread's description be?

>>29036194
thirding

>>29036194
>>29036199
>>29036286
You begin asking the people around town about the group of thugs, being sure to describe the leader as best you can. You also make mention of the girl they may have with them. most of them don't give you anything useful, but you do come across a young man who tells you that they ran an innkeeper out of his own tavern a few weeks ago, and started paying off the sheriff to overlook their actions until they leave. You ask where the tavern is, and he points you to it, warning you about the danger.

You find the place in question, and see that most of the shops on the street are closed and barred. It seems they don't want to risk the attention of the thugs. As you approach, you can hear talking and noise from inside. You peek in the window and see 5 men, all boisterous and slightly drunk, sitting around the room. The leader is behind the counter, pouring wine from ceramic bottles for the group. Near him are a set of stairs that must lead up to the rooms. You step back, and see that there are three windows on this side of the building. It may be possible, though difficult, to scale the wall and enter unseen.

A) Enter the front door
B) Try to use the upper windows
C) Call the thugs from outside

>>29036405
>B) Try to use the upper windows
Use the windows, then take down the drunk ones from the shadows.
Batman style.

>>29036405
>B) Try to use the upper windows

>>29036405
>B) Try to use the upper windows
If we need to, look around for a ladder, or something to climb on so we can get in undetected.

If we can't make it through the windows,

>C) Call the thugs from outside

Call them out and hide ourselves, attempt to sneak in through the front while they're outside and distracted.

>>29036262
>>29036405
Re-asking, sorry if it comes across as pushy.

>>29036502
Axe-Ninja goes for a jog

>>29036423
>>29036445
>>29036489
You find an alley around the side of the tavern, and begin leaping back and forth, pushing off of the walls and rising up the sides of the buildings. You reach the roof of the tavern and grab onto the edge, then pull yourself up. You carefully make your way to the front, then drop and swing down into one of the second story windows. You land as quietly as you can, to avoid raising alarm. You are now in a hallway with three wooden doors, each closed. There is a stairway leading down to your left.

You approach the doors and place your ear to them, to try and determine what may be inside. The first two are completely silent, but the third sounds as if someone is turning on a bed. Now and then you can hear them shift again.

A) First door
B) Second door
C) Third door

>>29036596
>A) First door
>B) Second door
Check the silent ones first.

>>29036596
>B) Second door

See if we can hear any better from the side of the wall, to dtermine what's in there. Also,

>Ask the bird to fly around, look into other windows, see what he can see.

>>29036596
>C) Third door

>>29036607
>>29036620
You move to the second door, and slowly turn the knob as you push it open. Inside there is a small bedroom, filled with crates of wine. The smell of alcohol is strong here. You look around for any sign of the girl, and a wide smile takes over your face when you find her behind a few of the crates, laying down and seemingly asleep. Her hands are bound behind her back, and her feet are tied together. Her somewhat voluminous hair is spread on the floor, and covers her face, but you recognize her easily.

A) Try to wake her up
B) Try to lift her and get her out
C) Other

>>29036798
try to wake her up, but cover her mouth so she won't scream

>>29036815
This.

Once she's awake and we've confirmed she won't scream, see if she can move on her own, check for injuries. Then, proceed to get the fuck out.

>>29036815
>>29036862
You reach over to her and try to shake her awake. She stirs, then opens her eyes. You shoot your hand out to cover her mouth and prevent her from screaming, but no sound comes out. Upon seeing you, you shuts her eyes tight and tries to turn her face away, but you keep your hand in place. You slowly remove your hand once you feel that she's come to terms with the situation. She flips over onto her stomach and turns in the complete other direction, hiding her face in her falling hair.

A) Tell her you're here to help
B) Tell her she needs to be silent until you can figure a way out
C) Ask her if she's okay
D) Begin checking her for any injuries

>>29036999
c, d, and B

>>29036999
B
C
D

In that order

>>29037032
>>29037116
You tell her to remain silent for the time being, until you can come up with a way to escape the place unharmed. You ask if she is hurt anywhere, but she doesn't respond, only faces away from you in silence. You begin carefully lifting her robes to see if there are any injuries on her, starting with her back and stomach, then her legs and arms. You find nothing serious, but when you look up at her face, you see tears falling and hitting the wood floor.

Before you can say anything, you hear laughter and footsteps coming up the stairs. Someone is approaching, and the door to this room is wide open.

A) Hide behind the crates
B) Ambush them with a wine bottle
C) Send the bird to distract him
D) Other

>>29037169
>C) Send the bird to distract him
>D) Other
snap his neck

>>29037169
B, but take a drink first

>>29037193
This
>>29037188
Then this, without the attempt at snapping a neck. We should assume he's not alone. Take the girl and hop out the window or something.

>>29037188
>>29037193
>>29037205
You whisper to the bird, asking him to fly out and keep the thug's attention for a moment. He panics, but complies and flies out the door and rounds the doorframe. You hear a bit of commotion, as the thug tries to swat away the bird. You take this time to grab two bottles from the crates, pulling the corks out with your teeth, and drinking them both down. The drink goes down rough, but you can feel them loosening your body.

You pop put of the doorway and spot the thug and the bird. You rush the thug and smash one bottle over his head, then the other. The noise downstairs ceases as he falls to the floor, unconscious. You hear shouting, then a mob of footsteps as the people downstairs begin coming up.

A) Leap out the window
B) Duck back into the room
C) Head to the top of the staircase
D) Stay put

>>29037271
>C) Head to the top of the staircase

>>29037271
>C) Head to the top of the staircase

It should be easier for us to handle this in an enclosed space.

And with this, I'm out. Work tomorrow and all. See you all later.

>>29037281
>>29037311
I'm gonna hit the sack too. I'm starting to doze off. Love you all, see you in about 6 to 7 hours for more.

>>29037429
night

>>29037281
>>29037311
You bound over the body of the thug you've just dispatched and run to the top of the staircase leading down into the tavern. There you see three more thugs, including the man you fought in a dark town, many months ago. When your eyes meet, you can feel sparks fly between you.

You turn your gaze back down to the thugs ahead of him, as they are already upon you.

A) Punch
B) Kick

>>29040091
>B) Kick
Welcome back, Mr. Rags.

>>29040091
>B) Kick

>>29040117
>>29040225
As the thugs come charging up the stairs, you press your hands against the walls for support, and draw your knees into your stomach before delivering a powerful kick with both legs. It lands squarely on the chest of the nearest assailant, and sends him tumbling backwards into his comrades.

A) Follow it up
B) Stay at the top of the stairs

>>29040282
>B) Stay at the top of the stairs

>>29040282
>A) Follow it up

>>29040303
You stand proudly at the head of the staircase, daring the thugs to come up after you. They get to their feet and do try just that, mindlessly charging at you to grab at your pant legs. What follows is a series of frankly comical attempts to land blows and grabs on your person, followed by various blows which send them rolling back down the staircase. You can't help but laugh at their efforts, further enraging them.

Suddenly your feel something loop under your arms and lift you off the ground. A new player has joined this farce, and put you in a rather effective hold. The others are running up the stairs now, gnashing their teeth in anger at your antics.

A) Try to reverse the hold
B) Keep kicking them down the stairs, it's too fun not to
C) Try to slip out of the hold

>>29040522
>A) Try to reverse the hold
>B) Keep kicking them down the stairs, it's too fun not to
Kick one of the fools using his face to propel ourselves and go upwards and then behind the thug that was holding us.

>>29040522
>B) Keep kicking them down the stairs, it's too fun not to

>>29040591
>>29040522
Just to point out mine is more of an A) than B).
Kicking would just be a tool to achieve the goal of getting behind him instead.

>>29040522
good mornin everyone.
>A

>>29040591
>>29040686
You kick again, knocking the thugs back down the staircase and using the momentum to lift yourself up and over the thug grabbing you. You flip over him, and put him in a chokehold. He struggles to throw you off, but his overly muscled arms can't so much as reach you for a proper grip.

A) Kick him down the stairs, keep the party going
B) Ride his back as you cut off his airway

>>29040713
>A
If it aint broken, don't fix it.

>>29040713
>A) Kick him down the stairs, keep the party going
If we ride him we might lose our high ground advantage.

>>29040713
>A) Kick him down the stairs, keep the party going
Merry Christmas, thugs.

>>29040737
>>29040739
>>29040779
You release the hold, and as you fall, kick him down the staircase to land on the others. You can't help but laugh hysterically as you get up, watching them untangle themselves from one another to get another crack at you. When you look over to the leader, you see his face is deep red with rage. You smile at him, but that smile quickly fades when you see him reach for a glass jar, and hold it up in one hand. Inside is a large and familiar spider, shaking and somehow managing to look afraid with his dozen eyes.

"Cease this and fight us like a man, or I'll smash this freakish bug against the wall!"

A) Stay at the top of the staircase
B) Leap down and fight
C) Leap down and try to grab the jar
D) Other

>>29040899
>C) Leap down and try to grab the jar
Yoink!

>>29040912
>C
Grab it then, try to crane kick the leader and quickly scurry back up the stairs

all this kicking, after we just spent all that time learning the punchy punchy fighty whitey

>>29040912
>>29040926
You leap down the flight of stairs, landing on one of the fallen thugs and hearing a slight crack as you do, then lunge for the jar. The leader evades your attempt, and backs out from behind the counter, taunting you by tossing the jar back and forth between his hands. You follow, getting in close and trying to grab the jar. He keeps it from you, and drives an uppercut into your stomach, sending you up and into a table, which breaks upon impact. He laughs again, shaking the jar and sending the spider on a dizzying trip.

A) Keep trying to grab the jar
B) Try to knock down the leader without breaking his grip on the jar
C) Try to bring him down with full force

>>29041193
>C) Try to bring him down with full force
If the glass shatters the spider can help us fuck him up.

>>29041193
>C
No mercy to he who hurts our friends

>>29041193
>c
"You speak of fighting like a man while comporting yourself like a cur."

>>29041193
>C)

I fell asleep for a bit.

>>29041252
>>29041262
You kick your legs up, bringing your body with them, and land on your feet. From a squatting position, you propel yourself forward and at the thug leader. He is slightly surprised by this, and backsteps out of the tavern door. The two of you proceed to brawl in the street, with you on the offensive. Between punches and kicks, you manage to grab the jar, only to have it taken away when he lands a hard blow to your neck. Back and forth it passes, shaking the poor spider within, as the two of you battle for its fate.

it finally ends when you kick the jar up and into the air, out of his hands, then deliver a powerful palm strike to his solar plexus. He is sent flying back and into the wall of the building behind him, and you catch the jar. You check on the spider, and see him stumble around, dizzy, but seemingly unharmed. The thug leader lays groaning, stuck in the crumbled wall. He appears unable to move.

A) Warn him about following you again
B) Knock him unconscious
C) Finish him off
D) Other

>>29041439

>>29041439
>C
End the bastard. Enough of his bullshit.

>>29041460
>>29041469
>>29041477
You approach the leader, warning him that should he attempt to follow you again, you won't be as gentle. You can't tell if he understands, as he is occupied with his no doubt enormous pain, but you don't think it matters either way. You head back into the tavern, and pass by the other thugs, who seem much less zealous in attacking you now that their leader has been dispatched.

You ascend the stairs and return to the room where your caretaker was stowed away. She seems to have found a rag somewhere, which she somehow managed to slip over her head to hide her face. She certainly hears you come in, as you see her shrink away from the doorway when you enter.

A) Hand her the jar
B) Open the jar, and release the spider
C) Tell her she's safe now
D) Undo her bonds

>>29041591
>B) Open the jar, and release the spider
>C) Tell her she's safe now
>D) Undo her bonds
>E) Apologize for seeing her, but say we don't see what the big deal about it is

>>29041607

>F) Hug her
She's been through a lot because of us.

>>29041620
Seconding this. Being spider waifu is suffering.

>>29041607
>>29041620
>>29041673
You remove the lid from the glass jar and place it on its side on the wood floor. The spider drunkenly stumbles out of the mouth of the jar, and makes its way over to the girl. It taps her hand with one of its legs, and she pets it gently. Then she scoops the spider up and places it on her shoulder, where it nestles in and rests. The bird, now roosted on one of the wine crates, comments on how bizarre it is for an ugly creature like the spider to be so friendly with someone. You glare at him, but he seems unaware.

You approach the girl, seeing her shrink away from you again, and tell her that the thugs who took her from her home are gone now, and that you plan to help untie her and let her go free. She doesn't respond, as usual. You try to reach for her ankles, but she pulls them away when you lift her robe to see her legs. You emphasize again that you are only trying to help free her, but when you reach for her ankles once more, she scoots away. You apologize for seeing her, hoping that it will help convince her to hold still, but she doesn't respond.

"What a silly girl," remarks the bird, "No wonder they cast her out of town. But I suppose she did sign up for it."

A) Grab her ankles and undo the rope
B) Tell her you will close your eyes if she only holds still long enough for you to help
C) Follow her into the corner as she backs away, and tell her you won't leave until she lets you help

You try to convince her that you won't look at her so long as she holds still, but she still seems reluctant. You think for a moment, then come up with an idea. You take the cloth rag from her head, and pull it away. She turns her head away immediately, but you pay her no mind. You proceed to wrap the rag around your own head, and tie it into a blindfold. You then tell her to look and see, and she must, because a few moments later you feel her legs come to rest on your lap. You reach down and gently feel her ankles, and she does not shrink away. You untie the knot in the rope, which takes a bit longer than it should thanks to the blindfold, and then ask her to bring her hands over. You her shuffling, and then feel her weight gently fall into your lap. She sits there, and you find her wrists. You untie the bonds a bit more quickly this time, and toss the rope aside, letting her know she is completely free again. You feel her throw her weight on you, and place her hand on your head, patting you like she did long ago.

A) Ask if you can remove the blindfold

You ask if it would be alright to unblind yourself, so that you can both leave before anything else goes awry. You don't get a response, but feel her get up and hear her footsteps as she leaves the room. You remove the blindfold and get up to follow.

You find her in the next room over, picking a bedsheet up from a pile of them, and tossing it over her head. The spider climbs to the top of her head and peers around, once again serving as a crude eye. She slowly walks over to you, and comes to a stop a foot away.

A) Lead her home
B) Tell her to remove the sheet, it will take too long to get back if she has to move slow

You rub your forehead as you watch her stumble about, attempting to follow you back down the stairs and outside. When you get too fed up with it, you approach her and turn around. You kneel and bump her, causing her to fall forward and onto your back. She grips your shoulders for dear life, as you grab the backs of her knees for support. She shakes, and the spider transfers from her head to the back of your neck. You ask if she is ready, and with her lack of response, assume the answer is yes, as you leap out the nearby window, and land on the stone street. You feel her shake again, and tell her to calm down or risk falling off. She does seem to relax when you command her. You look back at the tavern, and see that the thugs have cleared out. Their leader also seems to have gotten away at some point.

You begin walking, heading back the way you came to leave the town. As you pass through the busy streets, you notice several people gossiping about the thugs leaving town a short while ago. As you go further, you begin to notice more and more people staring at you and your odd group as you pass by. Some of them whisper, while others simply stare dumbfounded. One person in particular seems to realize who the girl on your back is, and mentions something mean under his breath.

Eventually you clear the town and continue on the road toward the house. The people do not follow you out, but some do stop to watch you go.

As you make the trip back, you ask the bird, fluttering above the rest of you, about the girl. When you bring her up as a topic, she seems to squirm.

"Who, the witch? There's no much interesting about her. Traded her voice for magic, you know how it goes. Such a foolish thing to do, I think. Imagine me, trading away this beautiful song of mine for the ability to mix up a few measly potions. I've heard she sells remedies to folks in town, but nobody really trusts a witch, do they? I heard she even curses people who don't pay. She's probably already cast something on you, man. Probably something that makes you very ugly and unintelligent."

A) Ask the girl if it's true
B) Press the bird for more information
C) Continue silently

You arrive at her home after an hour or so of walking. When you get to the entrance, you again see the great black iron cauldron, still cracked open and spilled all over the floor. The rest of the study is in quite a state too. And of course, there is the matter of the body you left just outside. It occurs to you that this may be somewhat hard for her to see after what she's been through.

A) Let her down, she'll have to see it sooner or later
B) Let her down, and offer to help her repair everything
C) Ask her if she wouldn't rather come up the mountain with you, where it's safer
D) Tell her you're going to bring her home with you, so that you can be sure no further harm comes to her

You let her down from your back and watch as she walks toward the house. She lifts the sheet to allow her to see, and you notice her knees begin to buckle under the weight of seeing her home in such a state. You offer to help her clean and repair everything that is damaged, but she seems to ignore you. She walks over to the black iron cauldron, and places her hand on it. The spider leaps down and dips its leg into the green liquid spilling from it, splashing it around a bit.

You feel a deep sense of guilt. Your chest tightens, and your stomach turns. You approach her and ask if she would prefer to come back up the mountain with you. You even offer to help her pack what she needs. She still seems distraught.

A) Tell her that material possessions are fleeting, and she can always start over.
B) Promise that you will take care of her, and make sure nothing like this happens again
C) Insist that she come back with you, sulking here won't help. It'll only make the both of you feel worse.

You try to convince her not to be so saddened over simple possessions, and offer to take her in for free if she will come back up the mountain with you. When she seems to ignore you, you approach and place a hand on her shoulder. You restate again that she is free to come back to the temple, and that you'll even help her get her things back in order up there. She turns around, and nods beneath the sheet. You help her pack up a few things, such as clothes and a few books, and head up the mountain again. You are force to take her on your back again, as she lacks the strength to climb the peak, and all the added weight severely holds you back. Still, with great effort you manage to reach the temple again.

You let her down, panting and rubbing your sore back muscles. She look up at the tall red doors, still sure to direct her face away from your gaze.

A) Tell her she's free to look around
B) Take her to one of the cells, and let her get settled
C) Take her on the full tour
D) Ask the bird to guide her around while you get some rest
