Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20180117041559

(Medival setting)

You were travelling towards your piece of land, which you had aquired from serving in kings army for last 5 years. Remembering how you you joined in the city guard when you were just fifteen years old. 5 years you helped to keep the city clean, and getting some basic exepience of peace keeping. From there you joined in Kings army, First five years as soldier, althuogh on second year you were promoted to corpral, Then you sold the small plot you were given, and joined in the army again, promoted as a sergeat straight from the start. You never has seen any real action, Only few smaller skirmishes in areas where bandit groups started to be too big issue for safety, and few skirmishes with different mamono, who started to get overly eager in some areas. But for now your fighting days were over... well... allmost over. As the plot of land was nearly other side of the kingdom, you had joined in a tiny caravan as a guard. There was only 3 carriages, and still you were sure that everything there was in the caravan could have fitted in one cart. Althuogh the cars would be overloaded by then, but by all means there wasnt too much to rob with you. How ever you would be getting closer to your future home, and earning a bit of gold and you wouldnt need to walk, or buy a horse of your own. And if you are lucky yuo just might find your future wife in some of the villages or town you would visit on the way.

You had served couple years of your time around here. Here was also yout biggest fights, with various different mamono, and while you tried to avoid killing any of them, you few times had to hurt them badly, and you absolutely hated yourself for that. Eventually the kidnappings were almost completely ended, and you were positioned elsewhere. That was 7 years ago, and situation might have changed again, also there was many other mamono which werent concidered "dangerous" like centaurs and holstaurs around here too. How ever you had heard that now there was bandits runnig around. What you had heard they were gaining power, but not yet large enough threat so that kings army would be sent to deal with it. Looking around the landscape was varied, Forrests, Mountains bit further away, to east, sometimes you passed small lakes, and you know there is a river some distance to west, but at times thet river turns more like swamp, just to turn back to river some time later. the scenery was actually quite nice. Your thuoghts  started to wander away a bit.. yuo would have build your house before th winter, unless there would happen to be a cave on your plot, and start to farm the land. but as the summer was allready ending you would have to make that house swiftly, you would have enough money to get you enough food for the winter, and you could hunt during the winter. Then there would be only thing missing would be a good wife.

While thikning about that, Suddenly you hear you hear the caravan guard leader, suddenly yell -"Highwayman! Lot of them! Get some speed in to these carts!" And as you look back you see at least 30 bandits riding towards you, you instantly can see that there is simply too many of them to deal with, this caravan is doomed. Still you will do your duty, You take your bow and arrows, and start dropping those bandints. But as it is hard to aim from bouncing cart you dot hit too many, and soon you feel sharp pain on your leg as an arrow pierces it. You fight the pain and keep shooting, you have dropped at lest 2 of them so far, but soon another arrow pierces your studded leather armor, and the pain on your shoulder is too much to bear, you start to feel dizzy, and fall off from the cart, and with the last power you can muster out of yourself, you roll to the side so you wouldnt get trampled by the bandits horses. The bandits dont care about you, and you see how the caravan and the bandits vanish behind a horizon. Then your conciousness fades.

When you wake up, you arent at the roadside anymore [where are you?] you apparently have been stripped, and only wearing underwear, but it seemed like someone has bandaged your wounds. Your thuoghts are slightly fuzzy thuogh, but the pain wasnt terrible, you might have been fed some sort of painkiller. then you heard -"I think he woke up." Someone saying exitedly, and another quite calm voice anwsers. -"Good, but dont get too exited yet, he was wery weak when we got him here" and as I turned I saw [insert at least 2 mamono, one or multiple species]
