neku 12 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Hello and happy New year! Health and good fortune in the year of the green serpent! I had a story ready around xmas, but one thing led to another and well i got carried away. Read it on forums (i hope i didn't mess up the spoilers) or try this interactive story as a bonus: The case of the stolen World Celebration tree contest entry nimereti.html! Text is about 480 words My prized World celebration decorations-text.docx, but since your choices affect the story a bit, some parts had to be copy-pasted twice. All the digital illustrations are mine and made with digital painting programme Krita. The interactive story is made with the programme Twine. Nimereti - EU-Emerald Here goes. The case of the stolen World Creation tree. one sunny, cold winter morning you wake up... Spoiler -My prized World celebration tree! My TREE! WHERE IS IT, IT HAS BEEN STOLEN! - you shout in panic, after the just risen morning sun had woken you up. Where is your beautiful decorated Creation tree? You rush to the closet for some supplies. And how will you gear up? PvP? Take Masters Vestment coat, Beginners high shoes, Contenders ring, Amulet of understanding and Arcane masters staff Spoiler Rushing out of the house, you ask everyone in your path about a thief, but noone knew nor saw anything. In defeat, you walk the shores and mountain slopes, hopefully there's still a tree left here to cut and decorate. There is indeed, just behind the ruins of Northern lighthouse. But a movement catches your eye... It was just a lizard... No, something larger is moving there, behind the trees! You walk further to investigate. Spoiler Spoiler It was not a mere peculiarity, but a large monstrous serpent! With glaring eyes and black piercing oblong pupil, it faces you. Talk to the serpent (with the amulet of understanding)? Spoiler The hisses turned out to be complaints. - oh, elf of snow bounds, please stop and help me! I have devoured all kinds of living, my size is high and mighty, and I go hunt every 12 years. But this time seems like my gastric problems have caught up. I have never had such bad heartburn! Can you help me? You give serpent a Potion of Pepto, but it doesn't help. You examine the serpents open mouth. Serpent can't help it and it swallows you by accident. You shimmy further into it’s gut, but what a miracle! You are reunited with your World creation tree! You start pulling it out, decoration lights and all! After some struggle you manage to get crawl out and pull your own tree out with you! Spoiler Thank you, traveller! Oh, it is yours? I’m so sorry, i got too gluttonous. I promise to hunt elsewhere this season! I won't slither out of a promise! At last, you can celebrate with your friends with all the proper decorations! And a great story to tell them aswell! Attack the serpent? Spoiler - you fail miserably in slaying the beast, as it's magic resistance lets it evade all your efforts. The serpent circles you... or PvE? Equip Polar High Boots of Fierceness, Northern Lords Spandone, Amulet of understanding, Doublet of Time Distortion. Spoiler Rushing out of the house, you ask everyone in your path about a thief, but noone knew nor saw anything.

And a great story to tell them aswell! Attack? Spoiler With a rush of power, you slay the beast, only fearing of its kind coming back to the village. With a sharp sturdy sword, it was a task of little effort and you cut through the magic weaved skin with ease. You do notice the peculiar shape of the snakes middle part. Spoiler It is your tree! You have a chance to loot the serpent and pick up all your missing holiday paraphernalia! , Spoiler You loot the body. You redecorate your room and celebrate the evening with your fellow warriors, bragging of the rich loot. What a story to tell indeed!

vavavi 255 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The amount of details is almost as surprising as the gigantic gastricly challenged snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
