Grimoire.jpg
164 KB, 454x312
It was your last day in high school as you would be moving out on your own. You swing your backpack over your shoulder as you bade your teacher and classmates goodbye.

You head out of the main office and into the afternoon sun as students are boarding buses or waiting for the next round of buses to roll in. You hang with your friends until they board their buses before you start heading home.

You reach home as you say hello to your parents as you head upstairs and drop your backpack beside your bed as you see a rectangular box in a present on your desk. You pull the ribbon off and lift the lid revealing a dusty old leather bound book.

It belonged to your grandfather if the tag was anything to go by. You skim through the pages as you read an unreadable text but there were pictures of fantasy like races, Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, and a whole slew of other species were in fine detail on many of the book's pages.

However a small passage was in the back page, "Govu motre bryt lufatoh yuloah". The book flashes as you are enveloped in a blinding light as you feel everything shift.

You wake up on a soft patch of grass as trees save about in the background. You look around as you spot a river beyond the bushes, a crumbled stone road fallen into disrepair, and an old animal trail running into the trees.

You climb a tree and look as far as you were able and see...more and more forest, well that sucked. You carefully drop down and walk along the river as you see fish swimming through it as sunlight glistens off their scales.

You enjoy the sound of running water as you hear a growl behind you as a orange wolf crouches down in a menacing stance, "aw fuck uh, nice wolf"?

Fuck what do I do!

Shout, make noise and throw any available objects. In the unlikely event that you are attacked by a wolf, fight back. Try to remain standing and use rocks, sticks, tools, camping gear and your hands to fend off the attack. Keep the animal away from your neck and head.

I don't _think_ that wolves can swim.

Wild dogs in africa can't swim.

Its an orange wolf.
I'm no master of wolf knowledge, but I don't think they come in orange, so what you know about wolves probably doesn't mean much here.
>>
>>45765021
You weren't going to let a wolf keep Rhys Garrison down. You get into a low stance as the wolf pounced. You avoid it's clamping jaws and slam it onto the ground as it let's out a pained help.

You let loose a flurry of punches as it claw tear your shirt and chest but you ignore the plains and blood to power through as the wolf is beat into submission as it whimpers as it lays the exhausted.

"Ha, ha that's right, your my fucking bitch". You say huffing as you fall back onto the grass exhausted and too tired to get back up, "Worst. fucking. day. Ever". You let exhaustion take hold as you lay there until nightfall, the wolf from earlier comes up to you growling before curling up on your stomach, it's body heat!was like a fucking furnace, at least T didn't rip your throat out.

It's even worse since we already derailed 4 consecutive threads in this week by beating a wolf into submission.

I mean these QMs don't punish the players for being stupid.

You pet the wolf as you try to patch yourself up with the tattered remains of your shirt as you fall back to sleep. Morning comes around and the wolf was gone to only God knows where.

You cough up a little blood as you feel a headache coming on along with the shit feeling you have. Damn, your such an idiot for that stupid stunt. You stand back up and continue along the river as your stomach grumbles. Shut up I'll feed you when we find something damnit!

You see a Riverside village in the distance and it gives you a boost of energy as you power walk into town as you see some fellow hu...man's? The hell, did you just end in fantasy land or something? The elves give you Cautious and wary looks as you walk into the town proper looking at the signs of shop's and establishment 's.

You walk into the building with a Tree symbol as you cover your mouth a you hack up some blood into your forearm. Inside you see a tree growing at the center of the circular building, it's leaves a dark shade of green. You r head pounding you walk up to a Priestess looking melf as you ask what this place is.

She sports a look of concern as she directs you into a side room with a cabinet filled with plants, and other ingredients. She examines your injuries before finally speaking, "You've contracted a case of Canistis. Your lucky you haven't bleed out by now, those blood wolves carry sickness and disease on them to those not immune are quite susceptible". She grabs a root, some plant leaves, and some dusty looking substance before mixing it all with a liquid before directing you to drink it, it had a fruity taste but at least it wasn't bitter.

" You should rest a bit so that the medicine can remove the illness from your body. If you have the time you should come worship with us in the evening if it behooves you". The elven women returns to treat other patients leaving you to wander about feeling much better and disease free.

Wait until she wraps up with her other patients as best as possible but she is probably the best person to talk to about our situation, are we still dressed in our normal clothes? and what do we still have with us?

You wait as she treats and prays over the other elven patients. She eventually after a while she has a break as she see's you patiently waiting, "Sorry for the wait human, we don't usually get barely any of your kind this far into elven lands".

Your dressed in your normal clothes ripped to tattered bits, you have the Grimoire with you and nothing else.

All of the above plus, where are we? There are Elves here, what other peoples are there? What is the cutting edge of technology? Does magic exist (probably) and if so what kinds of magic exist? Ever heard of people just dropping through portals before (in case our grandfather ever came through himself)?
>>
>>45768232
>" Can you tell me about the town"?
>>
>>45768267
>>45768586
>"Are you the only kind of Elves here"? You inquire of the Priestess.
"No, there actually about three different types of Elves. There are the green Elves who live in the forests, plains and valley's and have a natural connection with nature.. There are the white Elves who inhabit the hill's and mountain's and are the most attuned to the magic of the races. Lastly there are the deep Elves who live mostly underground or sometimes in the ruins of past kingdoms, they are natural fighters and craftsman with an affinity for fire. I am Miana, a green elf like all the others in this village.

>"Well that's cool, so is it okay if I could learn more about you"? She seems surprised by the question but obliges your request nonetheless.
"I am a Priestess of Woad, the god of the green Elves. I help treat the sick and injured during the day and I hold prayer and service during the evening. I genuinely enjoy helping my people and you even though you are a stranger in these lands.

>" Can you tell me a little bit about the town. I can't read any of the writing "?
" Oh of course, The Inn is marked by the Moon symbol on the sign although it is also a brothel as well during the evening. The Arrow sign is the general goods store, whether it's clothes, food, or a weapon, they have most of what you might need.

>"I don't have any money, do you know of anything I can do to make money around here"?
"You can help care for the people here in the temple if you would like. The Inn could also use a helping hand, whether it's cooking food, washing dishes, or helping the brothel out in some way. The general store also might be willing to hire you for some extra help if you need it".
>" Thanks Miana, I just have a few more questions "?

1/2
>>
>>45768586
>"So where am I exactly "?
" Your in Elifern, the homeland of all elven kind. There are many other people's in the world as well but they are most likely residing in their homeland or at the main continent where the many races comingle.
"The world has just created the iron weapons about a century ago and are trying to improve technology daily. There are many different kinds of magic, elemental, spiritual, healing, blood, dark, and many other kinds of magic in the world. I only know a bit of healing magic although and I've never heard of people falling out of portals before but there was rumours of a great hero in the main continent about 70 years ago".

>"You need any help gorgeous "? You ask with a sly smirk
She blushes as you are directed in helping her sort and mix alchemical ingredients together. She seemed really happy that you were helping her out, she gives you some Copper Oaks in payment as she hopes to see you around later.

You leave Faera to her work as you step outside the Temple and into the town proper as the looks thrown your way are less at you but more towards your tattered clothes.

You head up to the merchant seating next to his horse drawn wagon with lots of bits and baubles on display on the side and in the back of the wagon.

"Eh buddy, you look like you need some new threads, here I think I got just the thing fer ya". He climbs on back as he gets back down with a set of clothes, " This comes from the other side of the continent from Chalsamara, the land of dragons and other scaled folk. You can have it as an incentive for continued business ey".

You tell him that you'll be doing business with him again as you head off over to the general store as an elf let's you browse his wares.

>>45771864
>>Dagger
>>
>>45772127
You do a couple twirls and flips of the blade as you slide into the sheath attached to the back of your waist.

You head down to the inn as you lay for a room upstairs as you look around the room at the dimly lit room.

Get some work.
Something like cleaning or heavy lifting should do.

Talk to Faera.
Ask more about their culture.
What she does and the like.
Tell her about our homeworld etc.
