Game 4 Outline |
When you awake, you are surprised to find a tall man, dressed in leather armour and warm fur clothes (complete with bearskin cloak and hood).
"Hey, she's awake!" he cries - he's reasonably young, with long, blonde hair, and sharp blue eyes - he appears to be Scandinavian, though you can understand his speech perfectly. You suddenly realize you're not on the roadside anymore - you're lying on a rough bed formed of sewn-together animal skins.
"Where... am I? " you ask, and hear a beautiful, girlish voice cut through the air.
"You're in our hut - 2 miles North of the city Corinth," the young man replies with a smile. "We found you passed out on the roadside. Meiphusis wanted to kill you and steal your ring - but me and Onetas convinced him otherwise." He gives a faint smile, and walks out of the room. You're in a wooden hut, decorated with many animal skins. A rough table, with a few parchments strewn across it, is in the corner. A rough lamp, made of glass and kept burning with oil, is sat on the floor - a fire hazard. You get up and walk out of the room to the 'entrance room' - one of three rooms in the house. It's a small room with a door leading to the outside, decorated with animal skins also. You pass through into the third and final room of the house to find a kind of sitting room - rough sheets and more skins are strewn across the floor in a circular pattern, and in the middle is a small campfire.
"Ah, you're awake." A calm, middle-aged man gives a faint grin, revealing several teeth.
"Nice to meet you," hisses an insidious looking chap. He is missing several fingers and has an eyepatch on - he's dressed in a bear skin and has several daggers hanging from a serpent-skin belt. His hair is shoulder-length and black, and, when he grins, you see many teeth missing - and the few remaining are mostly metallic.
"Greetings, O maiden fair - glad I am you grace our humble hut," comes a noble-sounding voice. You turn to find the speaker - similar in looks to the young man who woke you, but far more handsome. His hair is waist-length and his voice makes you sure he is of noble descent. He is dressed in similar clothes to yours - but his belt and cape are bear skin. He is likely the Onetas you heard tell about.
"Ah, you decided to explore a bit, did you?" The young man who awoke you smiles. "Well, introductions are in order - this old geezer is Zethall, a merchant of much reputation. This few-fingered chappie is Meiphusis, who wanted to leave you to die -"
"I thought she was dead already. Otherwise I NEVER would have suggested we leave her by the roadside and steal her ring.. " interrupts the insidious man. You notice he is looking at you out of the corner of his eye and licking his cracked, nearly-blue lips eagerly.
"Whatever. Anyway, he's a retired thief and pickpocket - retired after he lost too many fingers, I suppose. This young chap is my good friend Onetas, son of a nobleman and diplomat, who left the high life to live with us." Onetas gets up and bows low. Meiphusis sniggers, causing a bubble of snot to dribble from his hooked nose. "And I am Zegie, a warrior from a far away land, and of reasonable reputation in the nearby town of Corinth." He bows low.
"And you are...?" Zethall asks in a calm, soothing voice - you get the feeling he is a kind of rock for the others, holding them together during their arguments.
"I am... um...," you stutter.
Quick, think of a name!
