Is this by, like, group vote? Or only first vote?

Either way, > Assess Voice sounds best. Halp plz.

**JayTee** · 03-16-2015, 02:10 AM

Vote, I'll try to post on a predicable basis so people have time to discuss options. For now, let's say that the next story post will come in tomorrow evening and will tally all the votes in by then. Note that if you have any questions that can't be answered by the above prompts, I can answer them, because your information is a little sparse at the moment.

I agree with Wonder-Woman, on all accounts. Assess and unzip.

**nalak42** · 03-16-2015, 03:37 AM

I don't know I've had mornings like this. First we need to asses self. Then we need to find our pants.

**TheCountAlucard** · 03-16-2015, 06:02 AM

Find a good place to piss. This may or may not involve getting to one's feet first, so I guess assess self.

**Kazorh** · 03-16-2015, 09:18 AM

Assess surroundings. Make sure there aren't nearby threats before you deal with secondary things like "do I still have all my limbs".

[preferably onto own lap for dramatic effect]

**Erinys** · 03-16-2015, 01:05 PM

Assess surroundings. Nearby threats and hazards, things useable as weapons or cover.

**semicasual** · 03-16-2015, 03:03 PM

Assess Self, Assess Surroundings, and Assess Voice, in that order.

Then, if there is time, Assess Education, Assess Property, and Assess Assessments.

Seconding this motion!

About those bodies... did... did I kill them?

OOC
In retrospect, those prompts all could have been done within the span of moments, and didn't need to be individual options. I'll try to give you more meaningful choices in the future. Also, remember that >Other is always an option, even when not explicitly listed. You have until tomorrow evening to cast your vote.
/OOC

>Assess Self
You stand at a hight of 6 feet tall, your skin is the typical olive color of most river folk. You are garbed in broken and battered armor that is drenched in blood and gore, most of it you're sure is not yours. Your body itself is lean and fit, and adorned with dozens of injuries. At your side is a set of sheaths for two swords, with your back carrying an empty quiver for arrows. Blood from a wound in your head has started to get in your eyes, forcing you to rip off a scrap of cloth from your outfit and tie it in to a makeshift bandage to keep your vision clear. Curiously, many of the superficial injuries you have sustained have begun to fade, even as you look at them. You are certain this is not normal.

Your ribs still hurt like a bitch, though, and you are reliably certain that they are broken, or at least fractured. You should probably do something about that.

>>Unzip
Your manhood is comfortable resting in it's loincloth, and you see no compelling reason to expose yourself at this time. Really, given the gore and grime you are caked in, this would probably be a very stupid idea.

>Assess Surroundings
A closer inspection of the battlefield reveals that there were at least three sides to the conflict. One side is garbed in highly professional looking armor, full plate with large broad shields and heavy pikes with shortswords as a secondary weapon. The robustness of the plate and red of the uniform of the soldiers does well to hide the blood and death wounds, but given the current volume, it still stands out.

The second side is much much more exotic, an assortment of monsters and gibbering creatures that could only be spawned from the wildest imaginings of a child. Multi-limbed bests with horns of amber and fangs of ivory dot the battlefield, each half again as large as the tallest man. Small and squat green skinned creatures with needle teeth and cold eyes make up the bulk of the bodies of the second side, and here and there, very rarely, you see humanlike figures that are just slightly… off somehow, with sharp ears and strange hands.

As for the third side, you sense a sort of familiarity with them, probably because they wear the same armor as you, but somewhat less ornate. Light and flexible, built for skirmishers and infantry. They are among the least numerous, but most mauled of all the bodies, apparently having fought beyond their body’s ability to function, and then some.

>>Did I kill them?
Given the sheer amount of gore on you, the bodies that lay at your feet, the empty quiver on your back and the weapons at your side, you can guess that you killed a lot of them.

>>Assess threats, hazards, possible weapons and cover.
A quick look around shows a discarded bow and two swords laying not far from your position. They feel comfortable in your grip, and were very likely made for you. There is no immediate hazard or cover, but if you felt compelled to hide, disguising yourself as a dead body would be childs play.

>Assess voice
The voice is female, and appears to be calling out for someone or something, as it is repeating the same thing over and over and raising it’s voice in varying ways. At the moment, you can’t tell what it’s purpose is. It could be anything from wife looking for spouse to a commander looking for any still living subordinates. You feel it is the latter, however, as there is a sense of firmness and iron in the voice, rather than desperation that would normally be found in a spouse.

What do you do?

Possible options:
>Move towards the voice
>Hide and observe the voice
>Flee
>Other

**WarDragon** · 03-16-2015, 11:36 PM

Hmm, we don't know enough...

>Hide and observe
