AuthorFaust: Short little welcome to Faust's latest interactive! Faust intends on this being a lovely little fantasy story with little trouble one way or the other. One can expect a bit more focus on

Do we have to choose one of the prescribed choices or can we suggest one of our own? If so, then 4. Slightly stern, but not very. Just enough for him to get the fact that we're being serious but

You lightly puff yourself up, and slap your cheeks to motivate yourself. You're a cute girl, looking to acquire someone to fight monsters for you sake, in exchange for compensation. You're certain you

You ponder for a few moments, before gesturing out dramatically.

"Let's search for an Armory!" you call out, loudly. "There's got to be something we could use there! Or, at least something we could hock for some cash."

"Sounds good to me." Faustus calls out as he glances around, Okita and Ellie looking about as well. There are more than a few side rooms in the castle to visit, and through trial and error, you eventually find a place that seems a bit full-er than the rest....

A room in one of the corners of the Castle, with more than a few chests of assorted metals.

"Found it." Ellie calls out to the party, as you all make your way into the room....Glancing side to side.

It's...clearly been abandoned a while, and it shows. The armors and weapons you can readily see laying out are rusted beyond wear, and you can see some sort of black material forming on some of the cabinets.

"Ew...Mold.." Okita sounds out as she glances over some of the dressers, Faustus using his dagger to pry open some of them. You see some various, assorted outfits with little flair and style... But, despite being more than a bit dusty, they seem like they'll be perfectly fine after a bit of washing.

"I found some weapons we might be able to carry." Ellie calls out, lightly. "Though, nothing that seems too valuable... Might be better to just leave em."

You lightly ponder if you should even mess with the rusted weapons....As you see...

...

Something, underneath the mountains of clothes. There's a....Long...black box...With a mysterious insignia in the middle.....Or at least, what looks like it used to be one.  You can see rust on the lock, and it looks like it'll fall apart if you give it any kind of force.

...

The question is, what do you do with it?

============================================================================================================================

1. Call out to the others, and open it.

2. Open it quietly, and just peeeeek inside.

3. Call someone else to open it for you. [Okita, Ellie, Faustus]

4.  Leave it be. Mysterious objects shouldn't be touched.

Have Faustus ready Discomfort Song.

Have Ellie ready Fire Cone.

Have Okita break the lock from a distance with a 10 ft. pole... I mean sword.

Have myself ready "run the **** away".

Excellent suggestions! We have no idea what might pop out of that box and we need to be ready for everything. While Okita breaks the lock off of there, the others can keep her safe, but more importantly, keep us safe!

I vote for option 3 as well. Maybe there is a magical sword in there!

You glance at the box warily, and look over your shoulder.

"Faustus, get ready with your music." you start, pulling the box out. "Ellie, Ready a spell... Okita...I need you to open this for me..."

You aren't sure what could be in the box, but if it's as dangerous as you feel it is....You don't want to set off any kind of traps, or hindrances. Not when you have some empowered to do so for you.....

"Alright...I'm breaking the lock now.." Okita states loudly, readying her weapon. For a few moments, you all hold a tensed breath..... as she brings her sword down lightning fast.

SHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNG....Clang...

And the lock falls off without any contest. You inch closer to it, watching her lightly open the box with the tip of her blade, pushing it up.....Slowly...Slowly....

"Aannnnd......Ready!" she calls, flinging the side of the box open as she backs up with a long, quick step...And freezes.

...

There's nothing popping out of the box. There's no dark, malevolent energy...There's no great, vicious evil being unleashed into the world...There's no great disaster falling about.

...

No, it's just...

...

"A....sword...Hilt?" Okita calls out quietly, as Faustus moves closer.

"Hm...Could it be..." he starts, as you all turn to him.

"What is it?" you ask, as the bard inches over, and kneels down to look at it.

"If I'm right, this must be the Blade of destiny..." he states, in a genuine, serious tone. "It's said that whoever grips the hilt of the sword, will find themselves, on a long journey that will see them meeting their...Well, Destiny."

...You raise an eyebrow at this, as the Bard shrugs.

"They weren't very good with names." he adds flatly, glancing over it. "But, if it's like what I can guess, whoever grabs that hilt will end up being lead on the path to their destiny!....Though, uh, I can't guarantee what kind of destiny it is. You'd have to find out for yourself, really."

"Or we could sell it." Ellie chimes in lightly, as you lightly debate it. Sure, it's just a hilt...And, it MIGHT have some kind of legendary power to it....But, maybe it would be best not to get involved with that?

...

Even if you're kind of interested in it.

.....

"Is it the kind of destiny a person would want?" you add lightly, as the Bard shrugs his shoulders.

"Dunno. But, I've heard great tales of those with this weapon." he remarks, casually. 'Don't know how much of it is real, but...Well, we did find it in a castle."

....

Hmmmm...

========================================================================================================================

2. Instruct one of the others to pick it up. [Okita, Faustus, Ellie]

Again, I vote to not get involved with anything sealed inside a potential lead lined box. I've played a Fiend of Possession before and we DO NOT want to hold something with them in if we favour our sanity and control over our own bodies/destinies. Shut the box and then just pretend that we've never seen it.

For those not in the know with DnD terms, a Fiend of Possession is a Demonic entity that, as the name suggests, can possess objects and people and control them without them even knowing. Just simply holding something with them in for an extended period of time allows them to take control over their wielder with simplified ease. 

In short, for those who tl;dr the lengthy post: Ignore weapon hilt, shut the box and go about our merry way free from any potential sentient weapons/Demonic possession.

You look at the mysterious hilt for a few moments, before mustering up your courage.

'Well, if this thing can make me Rich, then by all means!' you muse as your fingers wrap around the hilt.....

....

And you feel something starting to rush through you.. Similar to a chill running down your back....But...warm? Pleasant?

You aren't sure what it is, but it feels nice, as you look at the hilt....It seeming like just a plain broken hilt, without a blade at this...As you glance around.

"Anything else of note?" you ask the group, as they shrug their shoulders.

"Looks like we've picked this room clean, boss." Faustus calls to you over his shoulder as you look around.

True, it isn't much of an armory at this point... But, it seems for now at least, you've cleared out the armory.

You lightly pocket the hilt, and glance around...Moving to the door with a push...

Klmp....Kmmmmpth...

....

You hear a commotion where the throne room was expected to be....But, there are more areas you could check...

======================================================================================================

1. Go to the throne room! [That's gotta be where the plot is!]

2. Look for an apothecary: [There might be leftover potions and such\

3. Look for the Royal bedrooms [They might have some valuable materials or supplies there]

4. Look for a Dungeon: [More monsters, and spooky things? Maybe they're hiding treasure?]

5. Leave before anything spooky happens [Cut and run. Cut and run]

You glance around, taking a look at the commotion in the throne room...Before gesturing another direction.

"Let's...investigate the royal's private quarters!" you call out to the group, starting ahead yourself, as the others follow.

You kind of expected to run into more enemies, but it seems that avoiding the obviously-plot-centric Throne room, you're also avoiding danger! ...At least, for now.

You peek into rooms, and glance around a little as your group peeks around... Before your Bard calls out.

"Ah...! It's here!" Faustus sounds off as he pushes open a door, prompting your attention. You gesture to the rest of your party, moving to the door quickly...And pushing in....

"Oh wow...So much Purple.." Ellie states, as you give a slight nod.

The room is practically as large as the bar you just came from. A giant bed rests in the middle, with some violet sheets, and velvet pillows. The walls are decorated in a similar shade of purple, and you can see windows covered with similarly purple drapes..... It's obvious what the Royal's favorite color was......

"Nnnn....Do you think....They have a bathroom in here..?" Okita's voice calls, as you see her bouncing on her toes. You try to push out the thought yourself, feeling a growing need....But, there doesn't seem to be a room in there for a private relief quarter.....

"Not unless one of these closets secretly has one." Faustus calls, glancing over where some areas have cloth dangling from holes in the wall....Likely, some kind of private room.

....

"Hm...Where to go first..."

=========================================================================================================================

1. Check the closets for anything secret.

2. Check under the bed for mysteries

3. Hop on the bed, and bounce away!

4.  Check the Drawers for anything private

5. Designate orders to your Empowered. [Ellie, Okita, Faustus]

6. Leave without taking anything
