CYOA Pt 6: The thief's dilemma
Added 2023-05-12 23:08:13 +0000 UTCYou creep silently forward into the great chamber, clinging to shadows before hurrying to safety in a small arch under the dragon’s tail, which twitches slightly but does not move further. The din of the enormous, distracted beasts echoes around the chamber as you spot your prize.
A stream of molten liquid sizzles its way down a sloping pile of gold nearby, creating a smokescreen accompanied by the smell of fifty blacksmith’s furnaces. You are sweating freely in the stifling heat.
Out of all the treasures, you seek the spoils of wars fought with enchantment and won by treachery. You immediately recognize the most valuable because they have names you know from legends and tales in reverent and often fearful whispers.
The smokescreen will not last and your presence may be discovered if you linger much longer. There's no danger that has yet proven a match for your greed. The only question in your mind is how much you can take.
Your hands reach for...

The names in these are great. I was going to vite by what looked coolest, but the names hinting where things could go…difficult choices!

2023-05-14 18:53:51 +0000 UTCI know! It does feel pretty rare, and it's kinda a hassle. Unstable social media platforms have made me scared enough to keep it up though 😅

2023-05-14 14:35:58 +0000 UTCThank you for taking care of it! And thanks for mentioning your website; tbh I sometimes forget that some people actually still have them next to Patreon and social media 😅 I'll head right over there!

2023-05-14 05:42:38 +0000 UTCI love the fact that my patrons are sweet, kind and good people, and can also roleplay as unabashedly greedy devils when it comes to fantasy treasure lol 💗

2023-05-13 22:24:32 +0000 UTC🙏🏻 Thank you for bringing this up Fuya, it's so helpful because I often miss these things by accident. I collected the posts so they should all show up under "The Orc and the Tower tag" The OTHER thing I should mention more is that I've been trying to take better care of my website lately, so if you ever want to read it or share it, I collected it over here in a more easy-to read format: https://www.wintonkidd.com/cyoa-the-orc-and-the-tower
