Shrow Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 RCOYA stands for Rotating Choose Your Own Adventure. Each successive player writes what happens and then provides the next set of path splits for the next player to choose from. Here is an example. Get creative with situations it doesn't have to make sense or follow logic. However if that logic have been stated in a post, one shouldn't break that logic since it has been clearly stated. Do not force narratives, go with the flow. Most importantly have fun! ____________________________ To Start: You are a guard of the Alloc Empire ordered to protect a Mythic Shrine in a rain forest. Your race is a Merm which means you're covered in scales, have fins, can breath under water and have a funny looking fish head. The Mythic Shrine is one of many shrines found around Azgomoria. You don't know much about the mystery of Mythics but you have a curiosity for them that you might one day pursuit. The Mythic Shrine itself is found within a large tree, you've never had a good reason to look inside, you've been ordered to guard the outside of the tree, walking around it constantly. You have no idea what it could look like. You wear a nice fitting, light chain mail armour, made for Merms. The armour doesn't sink in water so its quite practical unlike other armour. You carry with yourself a standard issue iron spear. You are the only guard on duty. Suddenly a loud pop sound can be heard from about 20 meters behind you. Smoke appears advancing and covering the area, are you being attack? A) Call out into smoke hoping someone answers. B) Climb the tree C) Throw your spear in the general direction of the pop D) Look for a tool to blow away the smoke, a fan of some sort. E) Ignore it "Probably just the wind" F) Run into the smoke screaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Aha! I knew following the forum games topic would be a good idea. This was fun last time. Here we go. Oh yeah, and we should try @AnonymousSpeed’s suggestion of just two new people needing to post before someone can post again. Now let’s go! 5 minutes ago, Shrow said: B) Climb the tree You’ve seen enough horror movies to know that investigating the strange noise and smoke is how you die, so up you go, using your scale covered Merm hands and legs to thrust yourself up branches, appreciating the lightness of your chain mail armor. As you scale the tree, the smoke rises with you, making it difficult to make out what’s going on below. Eventually you make it to a rather wide and sturdy branch not too far from the ground, and decide this is a good place to safely try and listen to learn what is going on. You hear voices coming from below the smoke. ”....take it.” You hear one say, though evidently there was a beginning to the sentence you missed. A second voice responds with “Yeah, I was expecting more guards than this. What is the Empire thinking? Don’t they know what’s going on?” It’s deep and carries pretty far, hearing it isn’t too challenging positioned in the tree. ”I don’t know and I don’t care, it’ll just make taking it easier. We should just get in and get out before any guards can arrive. We have a job to do, and I’d rather succeed than die trying. Let’s go!” The first voice says, in a somewhat higher pitch than the first. You notice it is quite raspy as well. ”A fool’s mistake.” A third voice chimes in, much more feminine than the other two, with a rather cold tone. “Underestimating our enemies will get us killed, and if they really didn’t expect us enough to heavily guard this place, we could still lose the element of surprise by being sloppy. One of us should guard the outside while the other two proceed carefully. Do we have any extra smoke bombs to signal anyone inside in case anyone arrives?” However, you don’t get to listen to the full conversation as you hear a light cracking noise and see the branch you’re sitting on bend down slightly. Apparently it’s not as stable as you thought, it’s about to fall and right on top of the intruders! Thinking quickly you A) Attempt to jump to a second nearby branch, hoping that you make it and that it is stable. B) Brandish your spear and leap down, ready to forcefully fend off the intruders. C) Stab the spear into the hopefully hollowed out tree, hoping to make a hole big enough to jump in by dislodging a piece of the bark (and then hiding inside the shrine). D) Hit the ground and attempt to flee. E) Hit the ground and ask to join them. F) Call for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
