I'll let it run until Sunday; if no more votes or suggestions come, I will go through the current ones in order. Seeing the majority's uninterest in it, I am probably going to speed it up, wait for the votes of those who are consistent, and make it snappy.

Yeah, it's weird. We had 20+ votes in Character Creation, but almost immediately only a handful of people actually participating.
What happen? Where did they go?

Rest and Preparation​

Resting and Sobering Up

Nuon and Old Man Fiddlesticks find a quieter inn in Inkarnum and decide to rest for the night. They secure a room and settle in, allowing the effects of the ale to wear off. The next morning, they wake up refreshed and ready to embark on their journey. Nuon, feeling clear-headed, thanks Fiddlesticks for his help, and they set off to gather supplies for their adventure.

Gathering Supplies

They visit various shops in Inkarnum and purchase food, water, and other necessities for their trip. Fiddlesticks ensure they have enough rope, torches, and healing potions, while Nuon picks up some additional strings for her violin and a few bottles of ink and parchment for taking notes.

Visiting the Pet Store

Nuon suggests visiting the local pet store to find a familiar or a steed that could aid them in their journey. Fiddlesticks agrees, and they head over to the shop, which is filled with a variety of magical creatures.

Buying and Taming Aqua, the River Otter​

At the Pet Store

As Nuon and Old Man Fiddlesticks walked into the enchanting pet store, the air was filled with the sounds of various magical creatures, creating a sense of wonder and excitement. The pair was immediately captivated by a large tank, where two friendly river otters named Aqua and Brook swam playfully. The otters' sleek fur glistened as they moved gracefully through the water, showcasing their excellent swimming abilities. Nuon and Old Man Fiddlesticks knew these otters would be perfect companions for traversing bodies of water, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of joy at the prospect of bringing them home.

Nuon, exuding natural charm and grace, confidently steps forward to tame the playful otters with her gentle demeanor and soothing voice, speaking in a playful melody.

Despite Fiddlesticks's awkward attempt, which causes the otters to startle, Nuon's skillful approach proves to be a remarkable success in winning over the otters. They are completely captivated by Nuon's presence, nuzzling against her hand and eagerly following her every command. Witnessing this, Fiddlesticks quickly mirrors Nuon's actions, and the otters, sensing the growing connection between the two humans, extend their trust to him as well.

Pet Store Owner: "Well, it looks like Aqua and Brook have taken quite a liking to you both. They're yours for a fair price. Just take good care of them!"

Testing Aqua and Brook's Abilities​

Nuon and Old Man Fiddlesticks, eager to gauge the capabilities of their new companions, Aqua and Brook, decided to put their skills to the test before setting off on their upcoming journey. They ventured to a serene river that meandered toward the enchanting Whispering Woods, providing the perfect setting to witness the potential of the otters in action.

As the midday sun glimmers on the surface, the river sparkles, with its tranquil waters flowing steadily downstream. Nuon and Fiddlesticks make their way to the riverbank accompanied by their companions, Aqua and Brook, both displaying evident enthusiasm for a refreshing dip. Nuon tenderly strokes Aqua's head, conveying approval with a nod, while Fiddlesticks, overcoming his prior clumsiness, offers a reassuring pat to Brook, establishing a sense of comfort and camaraderie.

Nuon: "Alright, let’s see what you two can do!"

With that, Aqua and Brook gracefully slide into the water, their sleek bodies cutting through the surface with ease. Nuon and Fiddlesticks mount their respective otters, holding on as the creatures begin to swim. The sensation is exhilarating—moving smoothly and swiftly through the water, the otters’ powerful limbs propelling them forward with incredible speed.

Fiddlesticks: "Hah! These little critters sure know how to move!"

Nuon laughs, the thrill of the ride contagious. As they glide through the river, they test the otters' responsiveness. Nuon guides Aqua in a series of swift turns, diving beneath the surface and emerging with playful splashes. Aqua’s keen sense of direction and agility impress her, and she finds herself trusting the otter's instincts.

Meanwhile, Fiddlesticks encourages Brook to swim against the current, testing the otter’s strength and stamina. Brook handles it effortlessly, showing no signs of fatigue. Fiddlesticks even drop a piece of bread into the water, watching as Brook dives to retrieve it, demonstrating the otter’s keen ability to locate objects underwater.

The pair also test the otters' endurance by riding for an extended period, covering a significant stretch of the river that winds towards the edge of the Whispering Woods. They marvel at how effortlessly the otters handle the journey, maintaining a steady pace without tiring. Aqua and Brook's ability to hold their breath and navigate underwater paths proves invaluable, especially when they encounter a small set of rapids. The otters maneuver through the turbulent waters with ease, keeping their riders safe and dry.

As the day progresses, Nuon and Fiddlesticks grow more confident in their newfound companions. They finally decide to rest and guide the otters back to the riverbank. As they dismount and stretch their legs, they hear faint voices and the crackle of a campfire.

Creeping forward cautiously, they spot a group of bandits camping nearby (4 figures are seen). The bandits, oblivious to their presence, are engaged in boisterous conversation and laughter.

Choices​

  1. Confront the Bandits: Nuon and Fiddlesticks decide to confront the bandits directly, hoping to scare them off or fight if necessary. (y) (Strength check: Nuon: 10 | Fiddlesticks: 10)
  2. Slip Past the Bandits: They choose to move quietly and slip past the bandits, avoiding any potential conflict. (Dexterity check: Nuon: 16+3 | Fiddlesticks: 18+4) ?
  3. Retreat and Plan: They retreat to a safer distance to observe the bandits and come up with a strategic plan. (Intelligence check: Nuon: 14+2 | Intelligence check: Fiddlesticks: 14+2)?
  4. Approach to Talk: Nuon and Fiddlesticks decide to approach the bandits and attempt to engage them in conversation, hoping to gather information or form a temporary truce. (Charisma check: Nuon: 16+3 | Charisma check: Fiddlesticks: 13+1)?
