Three wolfish borzoi stand before you, shifting with anticipation. Their glowing green eyes flitter and dance with an ethereal excitement. To your left, a pale and excitable wolf beckons, their tail wagging fervently behind them. In the center, a mournful wolf who's coat is such a pure slate, it seems as if she's tinged blue. To your right stands a dark abrasive looking wolf who's eyes are barely visible under his furrowed brow as he impatiently awaits your decision. In fact, it seems they are all waiting for you to make a choice between the three.
Who do you choose?

The tearful wolf seems almost surprised you chose her. After sniffling back some tears, she turns and motions for you to follow.
Quietly, the woman leads you into a perpetual fog. Your senses are blocked and it is impossible to know where you are going. Your only lead is the salty scent of the woman you follow and the brief grey blue flash of her tail in front of you, her body obscured by the mists.
When the shroud thins, you find yourself in a small clearing surrounded by the largest weeping willows you have ever seen. In the center of the clearing, a mirror-like pond awaits, completely still except for a small swirling whirlpool in the middle. A thin path of stepping stones trail towards the center of the lake then stop. The sad wolf sits, and motions you towards the lake, tear-filled eyes brimming with anticipation.

What do you do?
Strength: Swim into the whirlpool.
You're probably stronger than some water, right? You can just swim over and see what's up. Charisma: Ask the guide for a hint.
The guide seems nice enough. Maybe she will help you. Dexterity: Use the stepping stones.
There are perfectly good stepping stones here for you to use! Wisdom: Inspect the water.
Something is amiss with the water... Maybe you can figure out what.Leave.
Leave and exit the event.10-24-2023, 05:47 AM

You ask the guide for help and she nods, wiping her tears on the back of her paw. She looks sympathetic to your fears, even if she says nothing in response to your words. She readies herself and in one fluid motion lifts you by your scruff and takes a massive leap into the center of the whirlpool. On your way down, you find 53 Gems.
Under the whirlpool, a waterfall floats you into an underground lake. As you pull yourself from the frigid pool, an icy palace opens before your eyes. Thick layers of ice coat the cave's interior and ornate carvings decorate the walls. Your guide stands on the shore, shaking out her fur. She inspects the surroundings, and you do the same. You realize there is no discernible exit, though some of the ice looks thin and even cracked in some spots along the walls.

What do you do?
Strength: Break through one of the weak spots.
The ice looks thin enough, and you feel strong enough to burst through. Charisma: Ask the guide where to go.
The room seems directionless... Maybe the guide knows something. Dexterity: Try to squeeze through one of the larger cracks.
Some of the cracks and cervices look large enough for you to squeeze through. Wisdom: Inspect the drawings on the wall.
The drawings are intricate, they must mean something.Leave.

You try your best to find the largest crack and start to shimmy through. The ice is cramped and cold, but you start to wiggle this way and that and eventually plop out. Your size clearly worked to your advantage here!
On the other side you find a bag containing an item! Can't wait to open this later.
On the other side of the ice wall, what was once a neat hallway has been utterly destroyed. Carved pillars lay broken and elaborate art shattered.
The tunnel ahead looks a little unstable, and proceeding further may be very dangerous. You know if you go on now, you may not return in the same condition you entered.

What do you do?
Strength: Charge through the tunnel.
If you're plenty quick, the tunnel won't have a chance to collapse! Charisma: Convince your guide to lead the way.
One wrong step could lead to the tunnel failing. Perhaps the guide knows a better way. Dexterity: Carefully tread down the hallway.
If you go slow and carefully, you can leave the tunnel undisturbed. Wisdom: Study the cave and find the safest path.
If you look closely, you can see where the cracks and freshly broken ice are.LAST CHANCE TO LEAVE.
If you proceed further, you will not be able to leave. Abandoned threads may result in failed rolls.Risks: Scarring, cosmetic disfigurement, temporary disabilities, moderate loss of gems/skill points

Slowly you start working your way down the hallway, though you take far too long to traverse it and you hear the tunnel beginning to crack and splinter around you.
As the tunnel behind you begins to collapse, you find yourself getting battered and bruised by a multitude of ice shards, their blades cutting through your fur and smashing onto the ground below. You begin to falter, but with a final push from your guide, you make it to a more stable part of the tunnel. You notice an injury on your underbelly that's sure to leave a scar.
At the end of the collapsed tunnel, what appears to have once been an elaborate shrine at some point in time lays demolished. A part of the wall carves out and opens to an open room full of jagged ice floating in deathly waters. In the center, a large, flat expanse is frozen, and on the other side, what look like daylight shines through a small opening.

What do you do?
Strength: Break through the jagged ice to the exit.
The ice doesn't look so tough, you can probably break through the tips and clear a path. Charisma: Convince your guide to lead the way.
The guide may know how to get through the treacherous cave. Dexterity: Jump from jagged peak to peak towards the exit.
If you time your jumps just right, you think you'll be able to use them as stepping stones. Wisdom: Look for the safest path to the exit.
Looking ahead, there has to be one safe path... if only you can spot it.10-31-2023, 11:08 PM

You study the room for a long while until you figure out the safest path to the exit. Avoiding the frigid cold waters, you find a solid path toward the small opening on the other side of the room, grabbing a carefully bundled item along your way. You make a note to examine it later.
Before you reach the exit, the ice around you cracks and water sputters up until you are left stranded with your guide on a large, floating stage of ice. From the frozen depths, a massive, blue tinted worm bursts forth and shrieks. You understand its name immediately: Bartholomew III. You know now that you can not leave until you defeat this menace. Your guide looks to you, ready to go on your command.

What do you do?
Strength: Fight the worm head on.
Use whatever strength you have left to charge forward and fight the worm. Charisma: Convince the worm to let you pass.
Maybe you can reason with the worm instead of using violence to get your way. Dexterity: Sneak around and attack the worm from behind.
You think maybe you can use the shards of ice as cover to sneak around and attack from behind. Wisdom: Find the worm's weak point.
If you hang back and study the worm for awhile, maybe you can figure out how to best defeat it.11-02-2023, 11:43 PM

You desperately try to reason with the worm, but it seems he either has little patience for words, or he simply isn't convinced by yours. Just as you finish speaking you hear your guide begin to weep even louder beside you, nearly drowning out the sound of the worm's shriek as its mouth opens and it strikes, hard and fast. You have no time to react, the world around you growing suddenly dark.
You awaken out by the lake, battered and beaten and so. so cold. A familiar form kneels beside you, tending your wounds. It takes several blurry moments to realize this is not your guide, but a cluster of fireflies in a cloak the same color as your guide's fur. Your injuries ache, but you will heal fine; you can tell somehow by the way the fireflies buzz around you.
You realize loosely how little sense that makes and you wonder if this is real, but a warm force closes your eyes and bids you to think of home, of safety. When you awake next, you are in a safe place, one which you might have imagined.
You've made it out alive, though not without injury. You notice a deep wound on your right front paw, which will no doubt turn into a noticeable scar (about 6 inches long). Likewise you feel you've lost some knowledge along the way, losing 29 Hunting skill points. Any items you've found lay beside you, and will be revealed later.

Look forward to peeks into the event, hiccups, and maybe some hints into the next adventure!
