Hi. Considering there is a lot of people online at the moment, here's a little game.

The dark storm clouds roll across the sky as you start your journey across the badlands.

The plains of Baddu Bak are unknown to most mapmakers. Although certanly uncivilized, the Baklands are inhabited by nomadic tribes and solitary creatures.

A sudden thought makes you freeze. Xamen birdmen!

From out of nowhere a black shape drops from the air!

Four deadly birds, or NIGHTHAWKS now circle above you, ready to attack.

How will you deal with these creatures?

Draw your weapon, or use your magic?

FYI: you are a deadly sorcerer, trying to get across the Baklands...

Adventurer's veggie.

Which spell?

[Quincy]

fog and run off

[microchip08]

You cast your spell and wait for something to happen. It doesn't! It can only be used in a closed room!
, not in the open air!

Score: 12

While you are waiting, one of the nighthawks gashes your cheek. Lose 2 points. (0 = Death!)

You'd better fight!

After fighting...

Score: 8

[Quincy]

which one of the options you gave was fight then?

[microchip08]

The nighthawks circle and prepare for another attack. Suddenly the formation breaks and their cries take on a different tone. A moment later, a GOLDCREST EAGLE materializes, killing all the nighthawks!

It has a message!

We trust these tidings reach you in fair health, but must warn you of impending peril.

Your mission is discovered!

Blah blah blah....

Basically, you need to find Shadrack the Hermit and get to the other side of the Baklands whilst killing 7 magical serpents, of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Time, Moon, and Sun.

You set off.

[Quincy]

am i naked?

[microchip08]

For several hours you continue your trek. On the horizon, a solitary leafless tree appears.

You rest here (Score 10).

The tree is speaking!

You seek the whereabouts of Shadrack of Baddu-Bak, that I know. To find him, you must detour eastwards towards the fishtail rock...

A breeze catches the branches, and when they settle, the face is gone.

Will you head east as the face advised, or continue on the northward trail?

[microchip08]

which one of the options you gave was fight then?

There was no time to cast another spell, as the spell chosen didn't work, so the Nighthawks attacked.

[microchip08]

am i naked?

Oh, no.... leather tunic, I suppose. I'm reading this out of a book, but I think I'll change it a bit.

Be quick, please!

[Quincy]

wrong i am naked

[Quincy]

[microchip08]

You cut down the tree.

As well as ample firewood, you discover a small set of steps down into the ground.

[microchip08]

Quincy, are you that hidden user?

And if so, why?

[Quincy]

[Quincy]

Quincy, are you that hidden user?
