Re:Monster

Adam had to suppress the urge to get back up and walk away.


"Sir, with all due respect. I came here for advice not some supernatural mumbo jumbo. Prophecies don't exist, they are just generic statements dressed up in cryptic words that can be easily interpreted in many different ways. Now do you have something that isn't pseudo-scientific nonsense or should I be on my way?"
 

The old man simple grunts at your response.

"Listen kid, as you know I am the elder of this village. You are no longer in the world you lived in and rather you have been rebor. If you don't believe me then look at your face in the mirror."

He then points to a large mirror on the wall and you approach it, as you approach it a unfamiliar face is shown and you realize that it's you.

@LeviathanL

You step closer to the firepit and as you do the small baby polar bear follows you. For some reason it seems attached to you. Suddenly you notice somebody sitting across the firepit, a large bulky bearded man. Wearing what seems to be a combination of bearskin and also elk. He looks at you and continue to warm himself up near the Fire, it seems that he has no reaction to this blizzard. The baby polar bear makes a small sound before curling up in a ball.

Adam peered into the mirror, moving his face muscles and poking his chin. It was a surreal experience.


"I can not deny the validity of what you are saying. It would seem I really am Charlie, or at least inhabit his body. Bummer."


Though he tried to stay calm outside, inside his emotions were in turmoil. Where is my body? Is it dead? Don't tell me I killed Charlie when I appeared here. Ah man, I've been unfair to Torres and that girl, Daisy was it? Not to mention I stole her brother's body. I hate being in debt.


"Though I will not change my stance on prophecy, at least not yet. I do admit I acted harshly and without consideration for you and yours, for that I apologize. Please tell me what you believe happened."


@general ostruppen
 

The old man smirks.

"Its not what I believe its what I already know. This has been foretold by the oracle 200 years ago. That several souls from another world would come to ours and lead people like us to greatness and bring balance and order."

He pauses and looks at you and then to his hands.

"The prophecy however has just begun and there is no return.

You were brought here to lead our village and to bring greatness, If you wish to deny your responsibilities then fine suit yourself."

He the swishes his hands and a floating hot cup of tea comes landing on his hands.

"Aaaah Uinet Tea"​
 
Adam was skeptical, though he couldn't deny the accuracy of the supposed 'prophecy', he could think of several reasons that could be used to predict events without literally seeing the future. His current favorite was a naturally occurring cycle that happens every so hundred years. If you can recognize the pattern you can reasonably predict anything. But that was just conjecture, he would need a mountain of history books to even begin to support that one theory. For now he decided to let it go. That's when the tea started floating.


Adam raised an eyebrow.


"Are you aware your teacup is flying? In my experience that is not something that usually happens, though that might be the 'otherworlder' in me talking.
 

The old man raises an eye at you.

"Hmmmm so I suppose that in your old life magic doesn't exist....Well in this world it does."

"However very few people have access to it, more like every 1 per 20 person have a chance of showing signs of using magic. Such as me!"

He finishes his tea and sends it back floating to the kitchen.

"Soooo are there any questions.....Eeeeer whats your name kid."

@LeviathanL​
 
As Erich stood up and began walking with the wounded back to the village, he suddenly remembered that he had no means to defend himself, quickly asking around "Hey, anyone seen the gear I had?"
 
"My name was Adam Lobe, but if what you say is true I have already died back home and took poor Charlie's body for myself. What would be the point of always carrying with me a reminder of what I've lost, or to steal even the name of the boy whose life I have usurped. To be honest I don't feel like using either. Call me anything you want for now, at least until I've figured myself out."


The subject was depressing him, so he tried to change the subject to something else.


"Hmm, magic though. I wonder if I'll be able to learn it. Sounds useful."


It was more than useful, he didn't know it or its rules. But based on what he had seen it was a whole new side to the laws of physics, the ability to shape reality to your whim with merely a thought. He wanted to know it, he wanted to find out how it reacted with the laws of physics and biology, he wanted to know how far a single mind could push the foundations of common sense. He wanted to impose his will on the natural world he had spend his past life observing.


In the end, he just asked:


"Where do you keep your books? All of them."

One of the fox men nods.

"Catch"

He throws a what seems to be a kitana (sheathed in leather) and a small bag.

*Ding*

(You have received Normal Katana sword, 1d8 damage. You also receive a bag filled with 23 gold pieces and a medallion.)

After he throws it to you, he urges you to get into formation.

@Blazefire2000

The old man looks at you with a funny look.

"Sorry but I ain't gonna just give yah some books, besides your not the charlie I know and rather a stranger to me....However I will give them to you if you solve a wee problem that this village has been having lately."

"I just wanted to borrow them," He grumbled softly, "besides didn't you just say you believe I'm destined to lead you to greatness?"


"Aah, whatever, nothing in the world is free, not in that one and not in this one. What is the problem?"
 
Quickly getting into formation, Erich keeps pace with the rest of the dog man, but something keeps bugging him at the back of his head, what's his name. He wishes to ask someone else but knows not to interrupt something like a marching formation, so he keeps to himself an continues on, occasionally looking at the Katana for ways to improve it
 

"I did say that, but I must make sure your the real deal by proving yourself in the task I'm assigning you."

He gets off his seat and goes towards a large chest, he taps it with one finger and pulls out a short sword.

He goes towards you and gives it to you.

"You obviously are the one to lead us, but having some non-experienced kid won't do. The wolves if you recall that gave yah that wound are the problem. Recently there has been alot of them roaming around and killing our damn livestock or our fellow villagers that go out to work in the fields. If this keeps up then we won't have enough to feed our families or rather none to feed by the end of the month. Anywho I've tried to do it myself but obviously im a munchkin who just can't keep up with people nowadays. But you however might, so Tommorow morning I will send you off to take care of the problem, but first Ima show yah around the place.

@LeviathanL

As you follow the foxmen you all march in a 2 by 7 column and march. Some of the foxmen are carried with bamboo made stretchers while others were hand carried. Several hours pass and you stumble upon a Traditional Japanese looking village in the middle of a small forest that about 200 meters to the west lies a hilly plain.

*Ding*

@Blazefire2000

You follow these dwarves and eventually go through a small crack which takes you a long time to figure how to squeeze in. But you manage and suddenly have stumbled upon a town filled with dwarves. The houses were completely made of stone and were rather tall, all of them were attached to the walls and you also see a massive hole that is probably 100 meters wide which lies in the middle of the town."

"Oy hurry up vector we gotta deliver these items."

(Saving throw against frostbite)


The little polar bear-like creature seemed attached to Cyan, somehow. It was a cute fellow, and she didn't really have any objections as the creature wasn't any trouble. She neared the fire pit, and spied a bearded man across from her, looking quite unbothered by the howling weather.


[dice]19373[/dice]


(wisdom check)


Cyan looked around, noticing the walls weren't exactly walls, but thick sheets of ice that formed a cave wherein they now stay. The wind and the snow raged on outside, forming whispering whistles in the hollowness.


[dice]19374[/dice]


(wisdom check)


Upon greater inspection, she noticed the cave was as naturally formed as can be, but it wasn't entirely untouched. The inside was slightly smooth, as if they were carved out on purpose by many individuals that came to seek shelter, just as they were doing now. If anything, the cave was sort of a common stop for those heading towards... somewhere. But wherever it was, she knew not at all.


[dice]19375[/dice]


(intelligence check)


Cyan watched as the white-furred bear curled up, and she gave it a tentative pat. She looked over at the queerly dressed man. There was now one thing she was sure of: this wasn't her world anymore. She was somewhere else, far off, with reasons she could only glimpse and disappear as soon as she got hold of it.


[dice]19376[/dice]


(charisma check)


"How long until we get out of here?" she tried to ask the bearded man, trying to sound as if she was supposed to be there. Unfortunately, the man sensed she wasn't.

After being dismissed from the formation, Erich tried to find his way back home. He couldn't recognize anything, so he decides to ask the next passerby, "Hey, do you recognize me by any chance? I can't seem to recognize anything in this village"
 
Vector would turn to the first dwarf "Where do we have to take them." Then, he looked around the town. "I must say, this is some impressive architecture. You must make a lot of, umm... currency through this mining operation."
 

The man does not speak at all but he does look at you when you responded. He then goes back to staring at the fire.

(If you want you can roll a perception roll, tell me what you rolled first and then I'll tell you what you see)

@Sereda

You ask the dwarf and he seems somewhat confused and realized that you still have no memory. Oh ummm well yeah this is our home and everything In mother terra is rightfully ours. Also we take these to the elder and he will distribute our pay."

He continues to lead the small group and you through a stone made road, you see as you walk on it that it seems rather new looking, in fact everything seems as if they were made not to long ago.

@Lordvader59

You ask a female fox woman and she seems somewhat disturbed.

One of the soldiers who was the first to talk to you grabs you by the ear and leads you to the garrison.

"Listen bub you stay in the garrison and don't talk to anyone, ima go grab the damn elder to check on yah."

He leaves you with several others who are now resting in the gatrison hut, some are sleeping or sharpening weapons.

The old man leads you back outside and in front of you lies the village. He takes a walk with you at a slow pace and guides you through the village.

"Alright listen up kid we don't much in this village but there are some buildings that are viable to our survival. The first building we have is the mill, basically that's where we store all our food and also create certain food items."

He points out to a small hill about one mile ahead of the village, a dirt path leads to it.

"The second building is the crafters workshop, we mostly have enough resources to build our things, we have some weapons but mostly only short swords and hunting bows. If you need to build something you can go there."

"Last but not least is the small market station, usually a merchant comes by every three days to sell or buy products, if you got something valuable or have an eye for something then you go to the market. Any questions?"

@LeviathanL​
 
"Yeah, do you have something for my shoulder? I don't think i'll be able to effectively swing a sword tomorrow if i have just bandages over a wolf bite."


"Alternatively, do you have some oil and a tinderbox I can borrow for tomorrow?"
 

The old man simple says a couple words under a whisper and his hands glow blue, he hovers them over your shoulder and your wound is healed.

"There...And yes there is a tinderbox bus I'm not sure about oil."

@LeviathanL

Adam/Charlie

​



As he flexed his arm and finding it unobstructed, Adam/Charlie's interest in magic was reinforced. "When I pass your little test you are gonna have to show me that trick."


Still, he had to pass it first. And even with a sword he was not sure in his ability to kill a wolf. So he'd better prepare something.


The various shops were not an option, however, as he didn't have any money, he didn't even know what currency they used here. He sighed, desperate times called for desperate measures.


"I'll be thankful if I could borrow the tinderbox, I'll figure something out about the oil."


He figured there was still some daylight left, so he headed to the shops. Not to stare at wares he couldn't afford, but to do some dumpster diving.
 
Warming her hands, Cyan received no acknowledgement, as if the man was as cold as the weather. It was quite dreadful, and she bundled up tighter, feeling it seep in. The natural warmth her body had was idle to return, giving her the impression she might have died twice. Or maybe this was just a very queer afterlife.


She tried talking her way through it... again.


"きょう は すこし さむい ね？ この てんき は すき です 、でも..."


She continued talking in her own, jumbled language, not stopping at anything, babbling on about the weather and the like.

"Yeah yeah whatever kid, we'll deal with the problem tommorow. For now just get yourself accustomed to the village and make sure to visit your sister."

You go to the tinderbox and meet with a older female crafter, she gladly gives you the tinderbox and asks for you to return it whenever you were done.

*Ding*

(you received a tinderbox xD )

@LeviathanL

​
 

The man in front of you seems really confused and starts to speak, the weirdest part was that you can understand him.

"I am not sure if you are lost little girl, but I do not speak that language. If you understand please be quite and rest if you need until blizzard pass."

He turns around and pulls out a log and feeds it to the fire.​

Adam/Charlie

​




He thanked the woman, and moved to the back of the shop to look for anything useful.

However, he found nothing of note. Just a big pile of manure. There was a dirty cloth which could possibly be utilized as tinder for a torch. But he didn't need to pick that up right away.​



As such he proceeded with the tour of the village, and when he could stall for time no longer he asked the old man where Charlie's and Daisy's home was. He really really did not want to have to go there, but he owed a debt.

Cyan breathes in sharply as the man spoke a language she was sure she has never heard in her life, and yet she was able to comprehend his manner of speaking. Panic rose, but it was suppressed as soon as it came, giving only a moment of pause before she was able to get over the initial shock. For once, she held her tongue, and sat still as a rock. However, it made her colder, and the impatience that curiosity provided was too much to bear. Without warning, she let out a pained scream, and covered her ears at the echoes of her own voice.
