>Grab gear and run away.

Roll: 8

You look around for some gear, but don't see any. You stand there, feeling foolish. The lava column looks at you quizzically. At least it isn't attacking yet. You glance down to see a sword at your belt, and plan your next move.

>Wave at the column in an attempt to communicate

Roll: 2. Uh oh.


You wave at the column, and succeed in communicating with it. Unfortunately, waving is equivalent to insulting its mother. Enraged, the column charges and you barely leap aside, sustaining a minor burn to your left arm.

>Deal with the minor burn like a (wo)man and make your way through the woods.

Roll:18. RNGsus is with you.

You successfully heal your arm using magic powers you didn't know you had. Then, you hide, blending into the forest until the lava column loses track of you. You come to a clearing in the woods. There appears to be a path leading to a village on the other side of the clearing. In the clearing there is a large tree. What should you do?



EDIT: not related to the story but I love how you are taking turns so I don't even have to consider making a "no posting twice in a row" rule.

>You decides to climb the tree, planning on drawing a map.

Roll: 16

You successfully climb the tree. After climbing past some bird nests, you get a good view and begin to make a map. The world you can see is almost entirely forest. There is that village dead ahead, which looks fairly sizeable and has a wall. Way off to your left, in the distance, there is a huge rock formation of some kind. Everything else is forested.

>Walk in the direction of the rock formation because reasons

You climb down and start towards the rock formation. Immediately, you are forced to take cover in the bushes as what appears to be a hunting party is carefully stalking something ahead of you. They might have more information, but you don't know how they would react to you.

>Attempt to communicate with them

Roll: 10

You stride confidently out of the bush, showing that you hold no weapons, and try to talk to them. They whirl around, and immediately each of them gets a look of abject terror on their face. They hurriedly pull out weapons, yelling something at you in an obscure dialect.


Edit: also just so everyone knows, anything works if you roll well. So if you're fighting someone, "attack them with sword" is about as likely to succeed as "suddenly master Kung fu and destroy enemy."

>Wave at them like you did with the lava thingy

Edited 11/2/2015 23:14:43

Roll: 5

You wave at them, but the only reaction they have is to throw their spears at you. You drop to the ground, hurting your knee, and see the beast they threw the spears at. A vicious cat like creature had snuck up behind you, and now it's directly above you. And it's angry.

>Run in the direction of the hunters, but that way so you're not in the way of their weapons.

Roll: 17

You successfully leap to your feet, avoiding the cat's claws and the hunters' spears. Shaken, you watch as they swiftly and efficiently demolish the cat beast. They level their spears at you and gesture that you should follow them.

>Carefully follow them.

You follow them as they lead you deeper into the woods. As they pause by a small wooden hut, you see what appears to be an injured baby fox on the road ahead of you. The hunting party seems to have momentarily forgotten you, as they point at the fox and talk in low, urgent whispers.

>you swiftly move towards the small hut
