Posts from RPG 2 – The demons are coming!!!

- I am very glad to meet you... Now, if it's not too much trouble, explain to me: where are we? What happened to Belstoon? And what can I do to thank you for saving me? And, by the way, tell me, why is it difficult to call you a lord? I always thought that a lord remains a lord for life... even if he loses his possessions?

Demons!!! There are too many of them, and they got here too quickly. We need to get out of here. And we need to take the people with us; in this situation, every ally is valuable. Faster, to the village!!! (I lean against a stone, exhausted, hoping that they won't leave me behind.)

I wasn't spying on anyone! I was gathering information for a new novel!
- ?
- Haven't you heard of me? I'm a writer! I write novels - the elf proudly pulled a small book from under his cloak. - Like this one! - The cover depicted a completely naked fairy sitting in a "nude" pose on a flower meadow, and the title above it read: "Secrets of the Forest. Volume 2". - I'm a very popular author in the imperial provinces; it's impossible that you haven't heard of me!

I smirked. Well, Fate sent me this "writer" :)
-I think you were just gathering material for a novel, weren't you? ;)
The elf smirked. And said more seriously:
- You can't hide anything from me! And yet - throwing stones is not a good thing!
- But I need a Moon Ribbon... Otherwise, my friend (or is he really my friend? I don't know anything...) will die.
-Maybe I can help you? I'm not just a writer - I know about forest herbs, and I used to be a healer... It's true that later I accidentally mixed something up - and instead of curing one of the Fairies, I grew her a tail. :D Since then, I haven't taken any more risks...
- Well, thank you, but I think I'll manage without you! :) (I don't need a half-baked druid!!!)
I took out the moon ribbon (what a beautiful plant! You can't take your eyes off it), turned around and was about to leave...

You wandered for a long time through dark and not-so-dark caves until, in one of the gigantic corridors, you noticed a red light from a campfire...

I bowed respectfully to Dobrynya and looked around. Yes, no matter what you say, the dwarven city makes a strong impression. This place seems to be alive: the city itself, with its numerous working forges, dwarves bustling about their business, various mechanisms, and lava bubbling far away, resembles a living creature... A living creature, unlike the city of my elven relatives. And this city literally exudes joyful and carefree zest for life... Although, with a slight touch of fear.
I turned to Lord Novizard:
- I will do everything in my power to prevent what happened in Belstune from happening anywhere else. But I would like to know two things: how can I recognize the One, Who? There are many beautiful girls;)! And why can't we just use teleportation?
But most importantly, I'm exhausted; tell me, where can a traveler rest and have a drink (;)) in this glorious city?

The werewolf listened and... silence... In fact, it looks like there's no one there...
- Eh, let's go check...
Upon approaching, I found smoldering embers and the remains of a spider (which I killed!)...

You settled down by the campfire. After a while, footsteps were heard in the distance... You became alert, but the one who arrived... No, the one who limped didn't pose any threat. Barely dragging its hooves, a wounded minotaur came into view, just like you did an hour ago. Judging by the torn chains still adorning its wrists, it was an escaped slave.

Here's a comrade in misfortune...
"Hello...!"

- Hello... - the minotaur's voice clearly showed joy. Apparently, you are the first to greet him friendly since his escape. - Can I warm up?

No. I ended up here purely by chance. It happened like this:
About three years ago, I was found in a completely helpless state, with complete amnesia, by the servants of the Temple near Irrilot. I lived at the monastery all this time, and since in dangerous situations, combat skills resurface in my memory, I served them by clearing the area of various dangerous creatures (all sorts of sorcerers, vampires...).
When I learned that great events were happening in the wider world, I set out in search of adventure... unsuccessfully, though, as I soon found myself behind bars. There, an elf appeared to me, he gave me this amulet *shows it* and got me out of captivity in exchange for a favor: I had to protect the life and health of a certain sorceress while she carried out her important mission. The elf and I rescued her from the Necropolis, but we almost died ourselves...
Now the elf is very ill; he is with a village druid, and the sorceress... by the way, I should find her...

Of course... Have a seat... what's your name?...
