Chapter 3 by SilasCrowley SilasCrowley

Which way do you take?

Hold on a moment, let me think...

As you eye each of the three paths... -this just seems like an awfully bad idea. None of them are good. You didn't bring any antivenom and it looks like poisonous creatures will be everywhere; you want the treasure, but you don't get it by starting on the wrong foot and going solo on a deadly path!

You cup your chin with a gloved forefinger and thumb, then think. Lots of adventurers like you just die out here in droves. But- what if you wait and make a whole party?! Someone else like you is bound to come along soon.

It's a good idea! You grin and make a plan: you start clearing some shrubs and vines near the fork of the three paths (near which you spot plenty of skeletons) and then you start pitching a crude tent: you didn't bring one, you actually just find a few of them in the overgrowth and salvage the best one...

And it's a good one. The brown flaps have some holes in them, but it's a nice foreign cube-shaped tent with a generous awning. You sit under it on a scavenged stool you also found amidst the skeletons and abandoned gear, then you wait patiently...

-you've been waiting a damn long time now. You yawn, cross your legs and stretch while the realization that not many people are all that **** to come here starts to sink in. Still, you persevere, and... wait.

Travel is pretty tiresome. Your stiff wooden stool starts to feel oddly comfortable, and your eyelids feel heavy.

You've fallen asleep, you fool!
