So let's see if we will survive this. I don't know how it ends so I can vote too. My vote is no better than anyone else's cos I don't know what's going to happen.

I'll swing by and check the votes once a day ish. Feel free to lobby other players and chat about what's happening.

Title: The Fivefold Path

Introduction: Legends spoke of the Sacred Grove, hidden deep within the heart of the ancient forest. It was said that those who found their way there were destined for greatness, chosen by the elements themselves. For years, you had trained in secret, feeling the pulse of magic within you, but never knowing your true purpose—until now.

A vision had called you forth, whispering of an age-old prophecy. The world teetered on the edge of chaos, and only one attuned to the five elements could restore balance. Guided by intuition and the unseen forces, you journeyed for days, overcoming treacherous terrain and strange omens, until at last, you stood within the hallowed grove.

You awaken in a sacred grove, the air tingling with energy. The ancient Order of Elements has called upon you, one of the few born with the gift to wield elemental magic. Before you lies a grand stone altar, upon which five glowing crystals rest. Each represents one of the five elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Spirit.

A robed figure, the Guardian of Balance, steps forward. "The world is on the brink of chaos, and only an Elemental Champion can restore harmony. Choose your first path wisely, for it will shape your destiny. Your ultimate goal is to locate the Heart of the Elements, a legendary artifact hidden deep within the world. Only by uniting all five elements and claiming the Heart can you defeat the growing darkness that threatens to consume all."

As a gift to aid you in your journey, the Guardian of Balance grants you three Magical Revive Stones. If you fall in battle, a stone will restore you to life with 50% of your current HP and EP, returning you to the last safe location. Additionally, you will keep all items in your inventory at the time of your death. Use them wisely, for they are rare and precious.

Day and Night Cycle: Your journey follows the natural cycle of day and night. Some events, creatures, and magical effects may vary depending on the time of day. Certain areas may be safer or more dangerous during specific times, and some spells may be more potent at night or dawn.

Gameplay Note: Always update all stats after a choice, including HP, EP, inventory, and the spell book. Then display the results again.

Resting System: You must rest periodically to recover your strength. There are two types of rests:

• Short Rest: A brief break that restores up to 50% of missing HP and EP.

• Long Rest: A full night's rest that fully restores HP and EP.

Resting may require a safe location or camp setup, and some areas may not allow rest due to dangers or environmental factors.

---

Health System: Your journey will be perilous, and your survival is not guaranteed. You begin with 20 Health Points (HP), but as you progress and grow stronger, your maximum HP will increase. Certain actions will either restore or reduce your HP:

• Making wise choices or using defensive magic may restore HP.

• Taking risks, engaging in battle, or failing a challenge may decrease HP.

• If your HP reaches 0, your journey ends in defeat—unless you have a Magical Revive Stone.

• Completing significant milestones may grant permanent HP increases.

Stay vigilant, and choose your actions wisely.

Elemental Strength and Energy System: As an Elemental Champion, you have proficiency in each of the five elements. However, your strength in each element starts at Level 1. As you progress, your choices and actions will increase your proficiency in specific elements, allowing you to unlock more powerful spells and abilities.

• Elemental Strength Levels: You gain experience in an element by using its magic in battle, solving puzzles, or making choices that align with its nature.

• Element Points (EP): You have a limited pool of Element Points that you can use to cast spells. Each spell costs a certain number of EP.

• Regeneration: EP regenerates over time, but using too much too quickly may leave you vulnerable. You can also find special artifacts, rest at sanctuaries, or complete quests to restore EP more quickly.

• Max EP Increases: As you grow stronger and master elemental magic, your maximum EP will increase, allowing you to cast more powerful spells and sustain magic for longer durations.

Master your elements wisely, for the balance of power will determine your success.

Item Collection System: Throughout your journey, you will discover useful objects and artifacts that can aid you in battle, exploration, and survival. Some items may enhance your elemental abilities, while others provide healing or special buffs.

• Consumables: Potions, enchanted scrolls, or food that restore HP or EP.

• Artifacts: Rare objects that grant unique abilities or stat boosts.

• Weapons & Tools: Elementally infused weapons or utility items to assist in combat or puzzle-solving.

• Keys & Quest Items: Objects required to progress through locked areas or complete story-driven objectives.

Managing your inventory wisely will be key to your survival and success.

Spell Book System: As you learn spells from each element, they will be recorded in your Spell Book. You can use spells during encounters, puzzles, or battles, as long as you have enough Element Points (EP). Some spells may require multiple elements, and others may unlock hidden paths or special advantages.

[Turin Turambar]

Ooh choices,  hmmm... I think I might like to chill by the pool. Maybe have a nice colourful drink.

[Gudrean]

do we need to agree or can we try different things?

[Ithillian Turambar]

You can Vote for different choices but we can only go one way, so I will always use the choice that has the most votes.

 

But you can talk with the group and try explain why you want a certain choice 🙂

[LilyElizabeth]

I like healing and learning from the local healer sounds like a good idea.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Chill by the pool wins the vote.

 

You decide to take a rest at a serene pool, allowing the calming energy of the water to wash over you. As you close your eyes, you feel your strength returning, and your connection to Water deepens. The gentle ripples of the pool mirror your own growing understanding of the element’s nature.

I say lets seek out a village healer since we can learn more advanced water techniques. 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Omg I can't actually vote! Hahaha. You can't react to your own posts. 

 

Well I'm up for a bit of moving about and talking to people. When I did the Trial Run of this our aspies just wanted to burn everything with Fire lmao

 

But I also don't want to miss out on the potential loot in that cave ...

[Gudrean]

yeah the cave made hold cool loot, but I'm also up for learning advanced water techniques.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Maybe the cave option will still be available if we go do some training first.  Or maybe we can train after.

 

I can't vote anyways so the choice will be up to all of you.

 

Don't forget to vote!

[Turin Turambar]

Yeah, we probably should try to learn something.

[Ithillian Turambar]

We are being a very sensible Adventurer and are going to have some more training.

The healer also guides you in refining your first Water spell, Aqua Surge, making it more effective.

Results of the Choice:

• You learned new techniques to enhance your water magic.
• Aqua Surge is now more potent, allowing for stronger healing and a greater pushback effect against enemies.

Expand  

Then we water surge and drown them way from us. And book it the other way.

  Reveal hidden contents

Or maybe  we need to use one of those magic rocks,lol 👻

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

You are the reason we even have Magic Rocks lol

[Turin Turambar]

Hey, that was a group effort. We were all dumb. "What could possibly go wrong?" was the theme.

[Turin Turambar]

I had a thought. If you want to vote, you could put your vote on the next post after the choice since you can't react to your own posts.

 

It might look weird why you were choosing "sad" to someone posting a joke, lol.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm OK to just chat along.

 

A reminder of our current choices.  Please vote on the original one back up there though ^^^

 

Next Steps:

 

1. Test your new skills by exploring the nearby river.

2. Return to the Sacred Grove and venture deeper into its mysteries.

3. Continue your training with the village healer.

I got quite a bit of time to get us going on this. Who knows how long it will last though.
