Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-36855838-20190125030912

I won't be pretentious or heavy-handed, there's a violent, arsonful backstory, I'll cut off with a line at the necessary part in case you want to skip it.

You have an honest face, the kind people often open up and talk to.

Beyond that, you're a skinny, scrawny person, barely four feet tall, and absolutely ravenous, always hungry.

Yet you are quite handsome, and polite as well.

And so it was easy to wedge yourself into an old, secluded town and plant yourself at the bar like a regular, and get the innkeeper to talk.

His daughter?

She's such a beauty, but of course you'd like to hear more!

And she must eat well, her skin almost glows as she serves the patrons!

It all started when she ate the odd fruits?

And such an endless flow of partners as time dragged on!

You'd heard all you needed that night, and a few slashed corks met a "fallen" torch minutes later.

And that was the night the town of adæsa went up in flames.

Now, then:

You have an honest face, and no farmer would have you, no smith would use you, and businessmen called you an eyesore, preferring to have pretty girls in their storefronts, long a mercenary, and a crook, but now in employ of the church, you're an inquisitor for hire, in hopes of staving off your ever-looming starvation.

And stuck in a cold carriage, headed for a northern town suspect of corruption.

Regret and sorrow looms large on long rides like this, and it has overtaken you again.

You nearly retch at the thought of those screams, at the sound of coughing, sputtering folks.

And the town, of course, was not enough fuel for the blaze, a nearby forest had gone up as well, killing a logger and his family.

You had narrowly avoided the axe by falsifying evidence of their corruption.

You had nightmares every night now. ..

You really are going to vomit!

The driver stops the cab, and then you see, peeking from beneath the coachmaster's cloak.

Massive yellow eyes, and a single one on her head.

What ever will you do?
