|
|
You are on your way from Bleakport to the Lestorian Forest, where slimes can be found.
|
|
|
|
Recent pirate attacks around Bleakport caused increased demand for healing potions.
|
|
|
|
Collecting slime remains is an easy opportunity to make some coin.
|
|
|
|
With the Merchant Crossing getting closer, the smoke of the campfires can already be seen.
|
|
|
|
Merchant crossing is a Crossway that connects Bleakport, the Lestorian Forest, Eagleview Mountains and the Capitol of the Lestorian Kingdom, Clafton.
|
|
|
|
The crossing is famous for merchants to rest on their travels and trade goods with each other.
|
|
|
|
{BACKGROUND commercial_assets/Burning Trading Post.png}
|
|
While you are getting closer you realise something isnt right. The Smoke in the sky is way thicker then what you would expect from just a few campfires...
|
|
|
|
You reach the crossing where a #FF0000horrible scenery#FFFFFF awaits you.
|
|
|
|
Burning tents and lifeless bodies are lying on the floor. It looks like a Bandit attack! What a strange occurence.
|
|
|
|
Bandit groups haven't been active since the Lestorian military was established 50 years ago.
|
|
|
|
In the entire history of the Lestorian Kingdom, there are no wars on the records.
|
|
|
|
Which leads that the military is used more like a police force, discouraging large scale crimes.
|
|
|
|
The only active criminal group in the area would be the Pirates in the Bleakport area.
|
|
|
|
But even they know that they can only operate because the Lestorian military isn't leaving the mainland.
|
|
|
|
Continuing onward, you search the entire camp for any survivors. And finally, you find someone still breathing.
|
|
|
|
Rummaging through your bag, you quickly feed him a health potion, then proceed to clean his wounds with water and close them with bandages.
|
|
|
|
The health potion seemed to work quickly. The man's consciousness returns just a few minutes later.

Th..Thanks.

[You]
|
|
|
|
No Problem. Rest for now.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
After around half an hour of letting the health potion work, the man finally seems to be in a somewhat stable state.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
How are you feeling?
|
|
|
|
[?,Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Better, I guess.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Can you tell me what happened here?
|
|
|
|
[?,Sherman]
|
|
|
|
I... We... No, it happened way too fast.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Thats okay, You can tell me more as your memory clears up. Whats your name?
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
#00FFD0Sherman. Professor of the Lestorian Science Corporation.#FFFFFF
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
Sherman's response surprises you a bit. You did not expect anyone from the Science Corporation to leave the Capitol in the first place.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
I'm [You]. Adventurer and Hunter.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
While you are deep in thoughts, suddenly Sherman starts to panic.
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
The stone. did they...
|
|
|
|
Please! Can you check if you can find a red colored stone? It was in my bag.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Calm down. I'll see if I can find anything like that.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
You check every bag around the location where you found Sherman.
|
|
|
|
While searching you realise that whoever did this was not looking for money.
|
|
|
|
You don't find any red stone though and shake your head towards the scientist, frowning.
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Oh what shall I do? I can't return to the Kingdom without it!
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
First you need more rest. Once you are able to walk on your own again, we can think about a solution for your lost object.
|
|
{BACKGROUND commercial_assets/Forest Clearing Campsite.png}
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
You set up a tent and a campfire a little outside of the main camp where the tragedy happened and helped Sherman over.
|
|
|
|
Without the corpses surrounding you, you relax a little bit.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
You keep an eye on Sherman as he recovers.
|
|
|
|
The next day you wake to find Sherman no longer lying down but is instead sitting on the grass.

[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Good Morning! You told me you are an Adventurer right?
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Morning... Yes I am. Why?
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
Sherman is full of energy. You can barely tell that he almost died the day before. It was as if the Health Potion made him into a new man.
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Ok, So you remember the #FFBF00Stone#FFFFFF I asked about yesterday, right? It's a source of #F2FF00Energy#FFFFFF we are currently investigating.
|
|
|
|
We may have lost the first stone. But we got a clue that another one lies deep inside the Lestorian Forest.
|
|
|
|
With that Stone, I could return to the kingdom with something to show. I obviously would pay you for it.
|
|
|
|
It should be in a cave somewhere in the middle of the Forest.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
Since you're doing Slime hunting anyways, might as well search for the Stone in the process. Searching for a cave while doing that doesnt sound like a big deal.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
I am on my way to the Forest anyways. I can check any cave I come across and if I find any #FFBF00Red Stone#FFFFFF I will report back.
|
|
|
|
No promises though. My main goal is slime hunting, but I will see what I can do to help.
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Great! I still feel a little weak, so I will be staying in this camp for now.
|
|
|
|
Also I expect Lestorian Soldiers to show up soon to investigate the campsite. Guess I can help as a witness.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Have your memories returned?
|
|
|
|
[Sherman]
|
|
|
|
Well, I definitely remember a few things but I still need to sort myself out. I can't really tell you more than what I've said yesterday.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Guess I have to take that answer for now. I am on my way to the Forest then. Bye.

[?,Greg]
|
|
Did you defeat the Monsters?
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
The voice is coming from the tops of the trees. A man peeks down from a tree canopy and makes eye contact.
|
|
|
|
You confirm there are no more monsters in sight.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
I can't see any more at least.
|
|
|
|
[?,Greg]
|
|
|
|
That's great. Give me a short moment, I'll be right down.
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
A large, scruffy man with a beard starts climbing down the tree. When he reaches the ground he faces towards you and grins slightly.

[Greg]
|
|
|
|
Hello, my name is Greg. Thanks for the rescue.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Rescue? I am just hunting slimes. Anyway, [You]. Glad I could help.
|
|
|
|
[Greg]
|
|
|
|
You for sure did! I was wandering around and let my guard down. Got caught with a bunch of slimes sneaking up on me.
|
|
|
|
Luckily those guys can't climb trees. But damn they are really good at just waiting around.
|
|
|
|
Was sitting for over a whole day in this tree!
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Did you have any plan in case no one would have found you?
|
|
|
|
[Greg]
|
|
|
|
Nah, got enough food and water on me. Could have stayed there for like a week.
|
|
|
|
Last time this happened, I was able to leave after 3 days.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Last time?! ... Anyway, why are you even in the Forest if you are not hunting Slimes?
|
|
|
|
[Greg]
|
|
|
|
Ever heard of the Enchanted Trees deep inside this Forest?
|
|
|
|
I dont have any proof that those really exist but since I heard about them I just can't stop thinking about finding one.
|
|
|
|
It's said that they look on first glance like normal Cedar Trees, but their wood is hard as Steel.
|
|
|
|
Legends say that a sword crafted from this wood is sharper then any normal sword made with steel, and and way lighter. Perfect for fighters like you!
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
Sounds like a great material. But if it's hard as steel, how would you cut it down?
|
|
|
|
[Greg]
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
... well ...
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
Never thought about that part.
|
|
|
|
This could indeed become a problem.
|
|
|
|
Maybe I'll leave the forest for now and think up a plan before I explore again.
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
Hey, If you're looking for me, I will be at #00FFD0Merchant Crossing#FFFFFF. Offering my skills as a #ADADADBlacksmith#FFFFFF to Merchants.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
About Merchant Crossing...
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
You explain to Greg what happened at the crossing.
|
|
|
|
[Greg]
|
|
|
|
That's not good. You said you built a #00FFD0small camp#FFFFFF nearby? Guess I will go there for now then.
|
|
|
|
If you need any weapons or armour, you can find me there.
|
|
|
|
See you later.

|
|
You see a crack in the Stone Wall.
|
|
|
|
The closer you get to the crack the colder the air feels.
|
|
|
|
A shiver runs down your spine. This doesn't feel like any ordinary cave.
|
|
|
|
Its big enough that you can enter without any problem.
|
|
|
|
After a few steps inside, a glimmering red light lightens up the cave.
|
|
|
|
You follow the path until you hit an open space.
|
|
|
|
{BACKGROUND cave.png}
|
|
The walls are slick. No rough rocks or stalagmites are spiking out of the walls. The entire room has an unnatural feeling to it.
|
|
|
|
In the middle of the room is some kind of #F2FF00Pillar#FFFFFF which is the same height as your Torso.
|
|
|
|
{LEFT Red Stone}
|
|
{RIGHT You}
|
|
On Top of that Pillar lies a red-coloured #FFBF00Stone Cube#FFFFFF.
|
|
|
|
The Stone Cube seems to be emitting light.
|
|
|
|
Behind the Cube is a Wall engraved with runes.
|
|
|
|
You have never seen anything like these runes before and obviously can't read them.
|
|
|
|
[You]
|
|
|
|
This could be the #FFBF00Stone#FFFFFF Sherman was looking for!
|
|
|
|
[]
|
|
|
|
You get closer to the pillar and grab the Cube. It's surprisingly lightweight and gives with little restraint.
|
|
|

Darkness.
|
|
|
|
The Stone Cube is still glowing in your hand, but the glow is now very faint.
|
|
|
|
It's now too dark to even see your own feet.
|
|
|
|
The sudden unexpected darkness casts fear on you.
|
|
|
|
You turn around quickly and search for the way back.
|
|
|
|
Returning seems to be no problem, until...
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
Halfway back you suddenly feel a movement.
|
|
|
|
{BGM foresty_boss}
|
|
{AUDIOPITCH 1.0}
|
|
|
|
An #C72500Earthquake#FFFFFF!
|
|
|
|
It's not a strong one but presents a threat remaining inside a cavern.
|
|
|
|
Realizing you might be in extreme danger, you start running, doing your best with the little light source you have from the #FFBF00Stone Cube#FFFFFF.
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
{BACKGROUND sea.png}
|
|
Finally. Sunlight. You managed to escape the cave uninjured.
|
|
|
|
{PAUSE}
|
|
|
|
Together with the #FFBF00Stone Cube#FFFFFF you leave the Forest behind.
