Heya, GAF!
I needed an excuse to practice my writing skills, and I thought to myself, self, what better way to practice than by hosting a fly-by-wire choose-your-own style text adventure on GAF? This was a thread I've always wanted to start, and only this summer have I had the time to write the basic story outline and detailed character backgrounds and plots. This will be a personal test of skill for me. And you get a nice distraction! Its a win-win! So join me, bored-GAF, as I (hopefully) entertain and astound you!
I shall be the omniscient pit lord of this fine event. The proceedings will be simple:
get in the mood, and
off
we
go...

I shall be the omniscient pit lord of this fine event. The proceedings will be simple:
- I will post the situation, you will post your choice. It will be a multiple choice format, so you simply have to type your desired letter. Feel free to debate in your posts, though!
- After every 10-20 or so replies, I'll tally the choices made: the choice with the most votes will be the canon one, so to speak, and from that one the story will progress. There will be a maximum of 3 bumps in between Arcs to collect votes. GAF will have plenty more time to decide when I'm sleeping or AFK, so be sure to slip your letter choice in!
- No making up your own choices or arcs now! You'll shatter the delicate weave of fate! My canon's da only canon. Don't worry, I'll try to cover every possible eventuality for each event in the given choices. I also have to sleep, eat, etc., so I apologize in advance for any delays.
get in the mood, and
off
we
go...

Newcomer? The story so far... (Arcs highlighted red are ongoing and open to participation)
- Arc 1. You're Totally My BFF
Outcome:You re-united with your recent friend, Basra Tylovar, in a seedy tavern late in the night. - Arc 2. Outfitters Anonymous
Outcome:She wore a traditional southerner hooded shawl, and carried a concealable curved half-moon dagger for self-defense. - Arc 3. I Need a Mirror
Outcome:With your sheathed brintal machete on your hip and satchel intact, you tentatively both agreed on an abandoned teahouse in Market District as your next refuge from the mysterious group that you gravely offended earlier in the evening, and now pursues you. Basra, only a passing stranger at that time, had reluctantly intervened and somehow saved your life, thereby also placing herself in the same mortal danger. - Arc 4. She's a Stunner
Outcome:You were waylaid en route by four alley-bandits in the night; you played dead on Tylovars initiative, giving you the element of surprise. Lying motionless on the cold cobblestones, you decided that the man about to humiliate Basra would be the first to die. - Arc 5. And She Sings Too
Outcome:You beheaded that lewd bastard Herzo and cut noble Nostra's throat. Their leader kneels dead at your feet as you sit mortally wounded against the alley wall; by what means he died, you do not know. You spared the girl you nick-named Mace-Head, only to watch as Basra raised the girl's own mace to finish her off. Blood seeped from your mouth as you chose to vocalize an interruption... - Arc 6. Wreaths and Ribbons
Outcome:Basra convinced herself to stop mid-swing, swayed by your grisly intervention. However, she seemed certain shed easily evade your pursuers alone, and wished to part ways after the teahouse stay. Mace-Head, or Daile, was coerced to join your party and used her 'skill' as a cleric-apprentice to roughly patch you up. After learning of those bandits' apparent connection to your pursuers from Basra, you decided to quickly loot their corpses of anything of import before continuing on to the nearby teahouse before dawn fully broke.- Arc 6.5. Bonus Arc 1
Outcome:Somewhere, someone left without eating.
- Arc 6.5. Bonus Arc 1
- Arc 7. A Shade Too Complementary (Part 1) (Part 2)
Outcome:Your party scavenged everything of possible value before leaving the alley, not bothering to conceal the bodies or lay a trap for your as-yet mysterious pursuers. You learned that Basra was a blood-mage, able to telekinetically move objects stained with her blood; a skill she was forced by her former master to learn under threat of death, whilst enslaved. It was by this means that she slew the bandit leader, Varlo, with the flight of her pre-soaked dagger; explaining its alarming bloodiness in the tavern as a product of her paranoid readiness. Also, you discerned from your new companion Daile's dyed tunic that she was a cleric-apprentice of the famed Wisps Temple chapter. Her gaudy mace was capped with a simple bronze egg, curious shallow cracks running along its smooth surface. You finally arrived at the teahouse a short run later, dawn sun arisen.- Arc 7.5. Bonus Arc 2
Outcome: -in progress-
- Arc 7.5. Bonus Arc 2
- Arc 8. ???
Outcome: ??? - ...
