First, I feel the need to point out that I have now been putting up these idiotic polls for over a year. A YEAR. How does that even happen??? I love you guys. Let's do this.
You jump into the thick undergrowth by the side of the path. Peering out from behind the leaves you see the massive legs of some gigantic man stomp past you along the path. Soon he is gone and you creep back out on to the path again and head north.
The path twists and turns and then makes a sudden sharp turn to the west. Following the new course you are aware of squawking in the trees all around you. You hear the flapping of wings and loop up to see three large birds swooping down on you. Their beaks and talons look razor-sharp. You only have a second in which to draw your sword to defend yourself against the DEATH HAWKS.
First DEATH HAWK (Skill 4, Stamina 4)
Second DEATH HAWK (Skill 4, Stamina 3)
Third DEATH HAWK (Skill 5, Stamina 4)
Look at these pieces of shit. Like killing pigeons. Dead, dead, dead.
One of the Death Hawks has a silver band around one of its legs. It has an inscription on it which reads 'Death awaits you'. You decide to leave the silver band and head quickly west.
You soon arrive at another junction in the path. Looking at Bigleg's map you decide to head north again in the direction of Stonebridge, ignoring the narrow path which continues west.
The path open out into a small clearing. To your right you see a pile of branches, grass and pieces of rag, the lair of some large creature.
You remember our old pal the Wyvern, don't you? Moving on!
You set off north again along the path and soon notice the trees beginning to thin out on either side of the path. Eventually the path leads out of the trees into a ploughed field. You are out of Darkwood Forest!
The path leads through the field to a stone bridge over a clear stream. Beyond the bridge are the small cottages and wooden huts of a village. A sign on the bridge reads 'Stonebridge'. You cross the bridge and see two old dwarfs with long white beards standing by a cottage looking at you.
We are fucking READY this time, bitches! YES!
You walk up to the old dwarfs and ask them to take you to Gillibran. They eye you suspiciously but agree to do so, commenting on your wounds and torn clothing. 'You got those in Darkwood Forest I presume,' says one of the dwarfs, pointing at various gashes on you body with his long clay pipe. 'Some people never learn. Adventurers are all the same. I can't see the sense in it myself.'
You walk through the village behind the two dwarfs and are aware of many dwarfish folk watching you. They begin to follow you and a procession builds up behind. There are lot of mutterings and whispers amongst the crowd of dwarfs and expectant looks show on their faces. Soon you arrive at the foot of stone steps leading up to a stone building. Outside the building on an ornate wooden throne sits a small old man with a long beard. He is wearing a crown but looks miserable and holds his head in his hands. You run up the steps, taking the hammer head and handle from your backpack. At the sight of them the old dwarf's eyes light up and he jumps to his feet. Taking them eagerly from you he starts to shout 'My hammer! My hammer! We are saved. Now, my people, we are ready to fight the trolls.'
The whole crowd erupts into cheering, waving their axes and swords in the air. You tell Gillibran of Bigleg's misfortune and why you decided to continue his quest, and of all the monsters you have encountered on your way. Gillibran listens and frowns at the news of Bigleg, his faithful servant. Then he opens a drawer in the base of the throne and reaches into it, pulling out a small silver box and a golden winged helmet, and hands them to you. The helmet is worth hundreds of Gold Pieces and you proudly place it on your head. A great roar of approval comes from the crowd. You open the silver box and find dozens of jewels and gems. You put these in your backpack and wave to the happy dwarfs of Stonebridge. Your quest is over and you are now wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.
WE FUCKING MADE IT, YOU GUYS! Frankly, I'm astounded that it only took two runs through the forest considering the eight billion junctions and possible directions to go in. You robbed and murdered your way to wealth and glory without ever dying once! I mean, I'm not sure if I'd say Mungo would have been proud of us for this one, but he probably wouldn't be hanging his head in shame, either! HEROISM~
