The Narrow Path - a 1 x 1 Setting

The Pitch

A lone man stands in his tower, centered in a city of monsters. His servant, a dark green goblin, bounds up to his side, cradling some kind of scroll within his hands. "M-Mashter!" he calls, his coarse voice scraping against the ears of the man. "It hash been located!" His voice is eager and proud, and the man turns around, a bright white smile careening against his aged and sly face, tanned with years of mastery over many realms arcane.

"You best not lie to your master," the man demands to the goblin, his eyes narrowing upon the pitiful beast with a dark scowl. "Surely, you remember what happened last time one of your kind decided to play with my emotions..." As the man grazed over the word 'your', his voice shriveled, as if to shun the goblin for what he was. After all, the only good kind of goblin was an enslaved one. The runner up was simply a dead goblin.

"No mashter Yashar! Honesht!" the goblin held up his scroll to Yashar, the unraveled scroll revealing the location of an ancient artifact, and it's ancient protector's remains. The Believer's Den housed the items that Yashar was seeking, and upon the sight of the ancient crypt, the old wizard's face contorted to what was best interpreted as a wide smile. "That's where Sinclair's remains have been all this time..."

"What ish my next command, mashter?" the goblin asked, his head tilting to express his curiosity and eagerness.

"... fetch me that mercenary as your last command, then come straight back here with them," Yashar's voice boomed in his tower, his gaze returning to overlook the city his tower was surrounded by. "You mustn't dawdle. Go on."

The goblin nodded as he ran off to go and retrieve the mercenary, whomever that was. It'd be a fact that said mercenary would be paid handsomely for his or her participation on this task, but alas, they must be willing to get their hands dirty.




Here's the dealio with this 1x1. I'm planning on you being said mercenary, hired by Yashaar to protect him as he fulfills his task in the Believer's Den. Whatever that task is, you'll find out within time, and whatever your decision will be at that time is up to you.

Will you assist Yashar in his quest, or will you find your fate at the bottom of the Believer's Den?




Side Stuff

A few small details I'd like to note...
1) A few of my characters will be appearing in a more fantasy-esque interpretation. You may very well meet Jennifer Light once again.
2) You drive this setting. Through your decisions, new paths are opened, and new destinies are awaiting.
3) You can very well carry unfitting spells if you want, so long as you make it fit. If you're a rogue carrying something like Fireball, you can say you have a magic cannon that shoots fireballs.
4) Gnomes are existent, and they're really techy.
5) Humans may be called "Tall Dwarves". There's no difference, just different slang for different nations.
6) Civilized Cities and Monster Cities are very different. A human may be treated differently in a Monster City, unless accompanied by a monster.
7) Were-animals exist. While most are unable to control their primal side, many are still able to function despite these downsides.
8) Necromancy is normally taboo, but under the right circumstances it is incredibly useful.
9) Dragons are like gods. Do not fuck with dragons.
10) Goblins are the worst and should be treated like dirt.

Ping.

Where do you want to start? Do you want to go all the way through the Believer's den, or do you just want to start like halfway through?

Alright. I'll type something up tomorrow. Right now I'm sleepy and not feeling great.

If you could, please try and move a CS to the char tab. It looked good in the PMs.

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you want to cast fireball? It's going to fly and hit a random surface and explode.

I have a bad feeling that this will end up dying. We for days at a time with no responses.
