Chapter Two: The Mysterious Gem

The mountains call to us, so we head west! Along the path, we spot an object glimmering in a nearby pile of brush - it’s a deep orange jewel! 🤔

What should we do?
💎 Take the jewel, but continue on our current path.
❓ Take the jewel and find answers in the next town.

I take the jewel no matter the circumstance?

Perfect...it's probably cursed. Now I'm cursed!

I mean, why would someone toss out a perfectly-fine jewel? They wouldn't. Unless it was cursed. I'm probably going to grow scaly skin or my appendages will begin to slough off. Wonderful..... -_-

If we go to the town we will get robbed so let's burn the town down and carry on

2. Take the Jewel, find answers in the next town.

Hopefully we can "liberate" some more jewels from the town!

Answers always help, and if the jewel doesnt curse us it might fetch a decent price.

If it is cursed (as I suspect it may be), let's rub it on some of the towns-folk we pass by. Why should we suffer alone?! We can all be scaly and falling apart together!

tis the a sign, that the king's right to rule is divine.

Why isn't take the Jewel 💎 then gamble it at Lex's Lelfling Lounge an option?

I stand there looking at the jewel sparkle in the sun and look around to see if anyone dropped it. There's no one in sight. No dead bodies, nothing. Just a nice orange jewel. I poke it with my spear, then pick it up, dust it off, and put it in my leather pouch. Then I continue on the path. I don't know where I'm going since I wanted to go to the forest but something is calling me to come this way. As a follower of the god of fate I know whatever awaits me is my destiny.

The mountain is the priority, we must go there at once! We don't want to squander time diverting to a town to ask about the gem. We'll lose 2 days time! Onward to the mountains!

I like how you personalize the community choices/directions as a narration of your own character story.
Fun to read.

I've heard rumors that Lex's Lelfling Lounge is rigged. The House always wins. Like...always-always.

Shifty Elves. Can't be trusted.

I take the jewel and continue on to my destination, but if a town is on the way I would naturally stop and see what's what in a sly way, not giving out that I possess a possibily desirable gem.

Actually...

the Tulnar. But I want to be fuzzy, not scaly.

Go to the town. Seek answers, have a jug or two of ale.

The hate is deserved to be fair

What makes you somehow think that there won't be an option to be "fuzzy"? Just because the silhouettes have been more reptilian in nature doesn't mean that will be the only option. How boring if all Tulnar were just reptiles, might as well just reveal them now since that's not very unique or a good representation of all the races left behind.

Of course if you mean fuzzy in the teddybear sort of way....the door is thatta way! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And what's with all you do gooders?! Haven't you seen the Brady Bunch?! You start asking questions and the owner of the gem will likely turn up to claim it, giving you some token reward for finding it for them.

We keeps it for ourselves! And look, we ARE headed to the mountains after all!
