Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20181025193126

(medival setting)

You were travelling towards [a certain city] for [reasons] not really because you had to go but because you wanted to go there. Unfortunately for you, while travelling by foot was rather slow, for you it was only real way to get to your destination. Spending a night in small town on the way, you asked for a direction.

From here it seemed you had two options. Either go rather straight, which was apparently the very risky move, but would take only about a week. Or take a rather long but very safe detour, but that would add week, or maybe week and couple days to your journey. As the journy had allready worn yuo down a fair bit, afterall you had been walking for nearly two weeks allready, faced some bandits, and dealt with orc clan yuou ran in to and survived.

The risk you would be facing here that you would pass through a rather large valley, There was known to be only one mamono there, how ever rumor had it that she is so unusual that she isnt hesitating to kill people. How ever, other rumor told that as long as you wont harm any spiders that you encounter there. Broken web doesnt mean anything, Broken spider leg means broken human leg, and dead spider means dead traveller. You don't really like spiders that much, althuogh you dont really fear them either. So you thought that you could take the short route, you just had to keep an eye out on what you were doing.

Four first days proved that there wasn't really that many spiders around, althuogh you had broken trough quite many webs. How ever towards the end of fourth day, you were resting on fallen tree you felt something moving on your arm. and glance towards it nearly scared you to death. Not really because there was spider walking on your arm, but because it was rather large one at that, and you knew quite well that if you would spook it it might bite, and this species is rather notorious for it's venom, which will cause slow and agonizing death. At first you carefully moved your arm so that the spider could easily walk back to the tree trunk you were resting upon, which was the safest option for you. But it just crawled up your arm, and was getting really uncomfortably close to your neck. Your hand went to your knife, if you could get the blade between it's head, and your arm withuot spooking it, you could rather safely flick yuor wrist and throw it off from you. But just as you were reaching your knife you heard a feminine voice behind you.

-"She really seems to taken a liking with you, I really hope you aren't thinking about harming her."
