"Which one would you like?"
White
Liz licks her lips then raises a finger to her mouth. She feels a weird salty taste on her mouth, one she can't really identify. Before she says anything about it, Jen walks to the white horse and places a hand over his head, signaling her choice. Then the group checks their supplies. You didn't buy anything, but the others have more than enough for Jen, since they were responsible for carrying her things before. After making sure everything is in place, the team mounts on their horses and initiate the travel. You take a look at your old home, the canyon. From here you're able to see the large sleeping volcano near the other end of the canyon. You won't miss it there.
You keep silent all the time. You notice that the priestess will sometimes forget that you're a living being and really treat you like equipment for a few minutes before remembering about you and becoming uncomfortable again. It doesn't bother you, of course, that's the whole point of your disguise, but it does bother Jen. You notice that the white horse is falling behind, making the others go slower to remein together. They don't seem too worried though and happily gallop slower to stay near to one another, talking. They talk about rumors, dreams, fears, stories. You can see that they know eachother for a long time but they feel and act as if it was their first time talking.
Due to the slow speed, the group doesn't advance that much before it gets too late. You're now closer to the volcano, and you, being able to detect everything about the forest around you, can feel hot springs a few meters away from the spot you stop. They tie their horses and place their tents before lighting a firepit and placing their equipments inside each tent.
Not surprisingly, Jen is still annoyed. Your plans would work better if she was, at least, more relaxed. It might be appropriate to do something.
But what?

Game Monster
From Creep to Boss
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
