Fantasy A New Life (Medieval Fantasy Adventure)

Introduction

Once, you were a free man of the Southern Isles. You had a house upon the rocky shores, modest, but your own; and you had a boat, one from which you fished. What you caught you sold, and what you didn't sell you ate. You had all that you needed, and were content with life.

But that life came to an end just a short time ago.

It happened in the night, while your peaceful island slept. Great ships, from a distant land beyond the sea, appeared on the horizon. Your people knew of these ships, and worse, who they brought.

The ships belonged to the savage men of Northern Rock. War hungry raiders who lived off what they took from others. They bore strange armors, of which you had never seen, made from the fur of great beasts and hard iron. They carried shields and swords, axes, bows, and spears.

The Sea Horn had been blown to alert the island of the coming danger, by a sentry, of which there were only ten. All ten appeared; each carried a long spear and small wooden shield. Others gathered as well, including yourself, to see what was happening. As they approached - and you and all your fellow islanders stood frozen in disbelief - the deep bellows of horns echoed forth, followed by the raising of their banners. The huge ships came closer than any thought they could, and released hundreds of the savage men into waist deep water. It was then - as the savages charged at the island with warlike rage - that you realized doom had descended upon the Isles.

There was no battle, only a massacre as the savages swept over the islands sentries. You, and all the rest of the islands, ran. You had only made it several hundred yards when the piercing sting of an arrow bit into the back of your shoulder. You fell to the ground in agony, it was the worst pain you'd ever felt. You tried to crawl to safety, but no where was safe. Savages leaped over you, continuing their fierce charge onward. You wondered if they might forget about you, but then, a rough hand seized you by the hair and brought you to your feet.

You were face to face with one of the savages. His eyes - mad with rage - looked you over. You wanted to speak, but couldn't find any words to say. Your mind was a mess, and pain pushed any coherent thoughts away into oblivion.

The savage yelled in a language you didn't understand. You gave no reply. He grunted out more strange words, but you just stared at him in confusion. Then, with a heavy fist, the savage knocked you over the head. The world spun and shrank, and blackness came, swallowing up the world.


Part 1
You wake up on the floor of a dark room. You can hear others around you, some speaking, some moaning (in pain, anguish, or both). Your shoulder burns, and hurts to move, but you muster what strength you can, and push yourself up into a sitting position. The room feels as if it's moving, swaying up and down, left to right. You can hear the thump of feet above you. There is a single door to the room, but it is not a regular door; it's a barred iron gate. You are too far away to see what, or who, is on the other side.

What do you do?

1. Ask someone in the room what is going on?

2. Go to the iron gate and see what/who is on the other side.

3. Custom Answer (Write what you want to do).
