Cast a fireball and burn him

You cast a fireball, the golbin aims you with his crossbow but it's too late, the magic fire explodes like an artificial sun and you watch as the flames consume the goblin, his scattered limbs are reduced into piles of smoldering ash. The smell of burnt flesh will attract predators, you waste no time and you continue your journey deeper into the Dark Forest.

After hours of travel, the forest ends, and you are close to the Mountains of Ash. You encounter a group of 8 people dressed in white with a unicorn around a strange horse-shaped rock, they are not hostile, and they talk to you.

They are from an ancient kingdom and they are performing a ritual. These people explain that the woman who has to perform the ritual flees, and they need someone to replace her.

You can volunteer, stepping into the role of the unknown ritual’s vessel, knowing it may change you forever.
Or you can leave them to their fate and continue your journey for the magic stone.
