Rise of the Shadows

Before im typing all the stuff a second time (didnt save it, duh >.<)
do you wanna keep "Darvin, the human mage" at the point we were running, or do you wanna start over and create a new char?

i guess we should keep playing Darvin, since that took us a long time to set up. if we started anew now, it would probably take us another day to come as far as we did the last time.

backstory for new kids?

you are the worlds new hero sent to complete your training. we haven´t got any farther than the first battle yet.

Ok, so well just keep the guy.

Summary:
You have chosen to be a human mage by the name of Darvin, specialized in Frost and Life magic.
(Reminder: Theres 6 elements in this world: Water, Fire, Lightning, Frost, Life and Death. Death magic is forbidden by law.)
You are in the hall of heroes, where all the guys wanting to become a hero are starting up.
The trainer told you he is waiting for you at the end of the training hall.
Entering the training hall, you found a goblin that just killed another "hero".
You managed to defeat the goblin and looted both the goblin and the hero.
Next, you encountered what looked like a small lake the blocked the path onwards.
You tried to freeze the water, but it was too much for your still small powers.
You tossed the corpse of the "hero" into the water to check for anything dangerous.
When he sank, the water suddenly flashed and froze to one giant block of ice, encasing the corpse.
You then took the corpse of the goblin and tossed it onto the ice to check for more traps (better safe then sorry),
but nothing happend.

This is where we stopped. You can now choose what to do next.

make your way across the frozen lake

Cross the lake, Checking the ice with your staff before you step there.

You successfully cross the now frozen water and get to the other side.

After walking some more steps, you see another goblin fighting what looks like a wolf.
The goblin is trying to get around the wolf, and after a closer look you see two younger wolfs behind the bigger one, cowering in fear. What will you do?

I would say assist the goblin in the fight versus the wolf/wolves, let's try to make friends with him (for now) and after all, they are just wolves.

kill the goblin, the wolf is probably trying to protect her young

Assist the wolves, become attuned with nature!

maybe we can domesticate the wolves

Wolf companions? Wolf companions.

cute wolfpuppies

I get you Fagelholk, but isnt it likewise the goblin could be a savage and end up trying to kill us too? Also even if they are friendly savages, i think that the benefits of the wolf mother/cubs would outweigh the goblin's.

>The Wolves, whether they allow themselves to be pets or accept us into their pack, will help for the better, also we may get a plus to life magic.

>Goblins (depending on savage or civilized) would at most reward us with material items, or try to bludgeon us and steal our items.

Plus, CUTE WOLF PUPS.

That is all.

fuck goblins

Assassine, come back! its been an hour since your last update :[

Cute wolf puppies.... when you put it that way! Save the puppies!!!

Save t3h Puppies!

Let the wolf wear the Goblin skin, FOR IRONY

fuck lobsters, they die in boiling water. puppies all the way

Puppies probably die in boiling water too.

Anyway, GOBLIN COMBAT

Your HP: 10/10

Goblins HP: 10/10

Wolf HP: 4/10

As the Goblin was still distracted by the wolf, you get the first move.

What do you do?

A) Attack with dagger (1D4 damage, 20% chance for minor bleeding wound)
B) Cast frostbolt (1D6 damage, 20% chance to freeze)
C) Cast heal (1D8 heal, cures status alignments)

C) Cast heal on the wolf.

If it can avoid being killed, and you save it, it will improve your standing with them, and provide for an assist in combat maybe.

cast ice bolt in it´s back.

Hmm, let's break it down...
I don't know what kind of damage these goblins can do. But our weakest attack throws a 1D4. I'll just assume that the goblin has the same basic attack, or greater for challenge. Unless we can freeze him with a frostbolt, there could be a 25% or greater chance that he kills the wolf next turn. Our chance to freeze is only 20%.

I vote C, heal the wolf.

EDIT: is it OK to just hop into a game like this? Never done this before.

Cast frost bolt at the goblins knees. Therefore restraining its movement, possibly.

Frostbolt up the Goblin, we can distract it's attention from the wolf.

I'd say heal wolf, then frostbolt.
