(INTERACTIVE SERIES)Midhorth Quest: Chapter 1
 
 
You are Adventurer, a female human from the world known as Midhorth. Today you decided that you would free yourself from boredom by starting a journey to defeat the Unholy Mother of Darkness, or at least try. No more milking cows and taking care of chickens for you!
 
But you know that to do so you need a party, and to start a party you need to go to a tavern. So you saved some tolkiens and lewis and went to your town's tavern, "The Fat Poney".
 
You arrive there and see yourself surrounded by several people singing, drinking bear and talking. Some are clearly regular people just enjoying the night, but you also recognize some individuals who look like they had the same idea as yours.
 
Your gaze instantly falls into a large figure sitting at the bar. You sit by her side and asks for the cheapest beer, as an excuse to get a better look at the woman.
 
Her green skin covered powerful muscles, and her black hair was in a bun. The lady's lower canine teeth came out of her mouth even when it was closed, pointy and brutish. She wore only some bear fur around her "female parts" and large boots, and a large axe was hanging by her side. She was an orc barbarian.
 
"BOOOOOURP! Bartender, bring me another one of those! Here's your coins dog, now hurry!" The orc was petting her beer-filled potbelly, when you shyly touch her elbow. "Hm? What do you want, shrimp?"
 
You ask her if she's interested in joyning your party, you even show her the money you would pay her to join. She simply laughs:
 
"Hah! I have better stuff to do, small fry! Now you better stop bugging me or I'll eat you as a snack to go with my beer!"
 
You excuse yourself and get away of the orc lady. You better not come near her again, because she look like the type that would really fulfill her threat. You spend the rest of the night asking people from the tavern to join you, but they all refuse. You're too weak, inexperienced and have no gear. Some people even try to eat you, but you manage to get away unharmed.
 
You sigh as you walk out of "The Fat Poney". Maybe it's best to give up on that silly journey and just go back to working in a farm. Your depressed thoughts are interrupted by a sly male voice:
 
"Hey pretty thing! We saw those coins you've been showing around the tavern!" Says a bald man with a painted face and wearing some cheap armor. "Would you mind giving us a closer look?"
 
You instinctively recoil. It's easy to see that those people are bandits. A female voice adds:
 
"Hey, you better not run away!" A woman with short hair and also wearing some armor reveals a small dagger. "It's best to lose some coins than your life, don't you think?"
 
Well, there goes all your savings. No adventure for you. As you start searching for the coins to give the bandits, a third, known voice joins in:
 
"Hey, those tolkiens and lewis are mine, you two fuckheads! She offered me first, so get away!"
 
"You want a fight, you green bitc...." Were the bald man's last words before being hit by an axe and thrown several meters away, dead.
 
"Oh my gods..." His partner started to shake, looking the angry orc woman in the eyes. "H-Hey, the coins are all yours, I'll get out of your way and..."
 
"Too late, now my tummy's rumbling. You'll have to do as a snack!" You watch in amazement as the orc barbarian from before starts eating the female bandit head-first, finishing in seconds. "OOOOOOOURP! What a nice, light meal..."
 
You watch her green distended gut moving with her prey, before the owner of said gut talks to you:
 
"Hey shrimp, sorry for before. I actually spent all my money on beer tonight: I'm as broke as one can be! Still up with the journey stuff? Oh, I'm Targa, by the way!"
 
The orc lady shakes you hand violently, smiling to you. Well, Targa surely looks reliable, and quite strong. So, your choice shall be:
 
 
A - Let Targa the Orc Barbarian join your party.
B - Eat Targa the Orc Barbarian
C - Refuse to let Targ a the Orc Barbarian join your party

Vote by commenting the letter of the option you want to win! The pool will be over next week at the same day and hour this story is posted! Naturally, the option with the most comments wins, and in case of a draw, one more day will be added to decide!



In this series, the readers will control a videogame-like protagonist and decide their choices by answering a pool at the end of each chapter. Although it's a POV series, you don't need to think as if Adventurer is LITERALLY you if you don't want to. Think of them as a customizable visual novel protagonist!

I would like to thank in advance everyone who decides to answer the pools. It'll be great to interact with you guys in such a fun way!

If she is offering to join us instead of just taking the coin and either eating us or leaving us broke instead she must have some decent honour... Or she's full and she wants to keep us around for rations later. That said...

The way I see it A is the only option that will move the story forward in a meaningful way. C seems more likely than not that she'll just try and eat us, and B basically garruntees she will, because there's no way we're succeeding in that. But since I'd like to see it and I figure we can just go back and choose the sensible option afterwards...
