Thanks for the votes, everyone! Seems like things aren’t so cut and dry in this little border village. So, Where should Bardulf go from here?
A) Sneak up the stairs into the inn. – 2 Votes
B) Find the basement entrance. – 3 Votes
We’re going to try sneaking around to find that basement entrance. Will Bardulf be successful? Tune in next week. Same Ranger-time, same Ranger-website. (ok, so that really doesn’t work for anyone but the Caped Crusader, does it…)
Voting is closed now. Thanks everyone!
This is the seventh part of a Vote Your Adventure story. More information can be found here. If you need to catch up, check out the Vote Your Adventure link at the top of the page. I have links to all the previous entries setup there. I’m going to allow voting to go for a week again. I’ve got a busy week, so I don’t feel bad doing so. Voting will close Monday, May 28, 2012. Enjoy, and please vote!
Bardulf decided that he would investigate his mysterious opponent first. If he was still in town, Bardulf wanted to be prepared.
“Your horse is being taken care of right now,” the innkeeper said as he returned. He picked up a mug that had just been brought back by one of the serving girls, and began wiping it clean. “Is there anything else you need?”
Thanks too all of you who voted! And to everyone else who read through this large entry. I want to have more bite sized (and regular) entries from now on. But first, where are we going?
A) Search for the blacksmith that Lord Belmont mentioned – 2 Votes
B) Ask about any recent visitors who were injured – 3 Votes
If you happen to follow me on Twitter, you saw that I did a call for more votes early yesterday. I was close to closing the comments when the votes became tied. Thanks to Amber for breaking it. So, we are going to try to track down our mysterious attacker.
Now, while you wait, I have a request. Amber West (yes, the same one who broke the tie) is running a similar style story on her blog. It is a bit different from mine, in that she is taking the idea she likes the best. Not just the most requested. The series, called Tell Me A Story, is a great read. She’s doing some fun stuff with it, and I’m interested in where the story is going. Lots of mysteries to solve yet. Go check it out.
Now, I need to go figure out what trouble poor Bardulf will be getting into.
Voting is now closed. Thanks everyone!
This is the sixth part of a Vote Your Adventure story. More information is here. If you need to catch up, check out the Vote Your Adventure link at the top of the page. I have links to all the previous entries setup there. Because I’ve taken so long to get this written, and because of its gigantic size, I’m going to let the voting go a little longer. Voting will close early Monday, April 30, 2012. Enjoy the tale!
Bardulf gazed at the fire, thinking about the trap. A strange stone was perched atop the wood. The dark smoke that had emanated from it was now gone. The flames and heat had burned off the crimson coloring, revealing a marbled blue and orange pattern.
He cursed the snake who did this. Bardulf suspected that this was the same one that he fought in Lord Belmont’s manor. There was too much coincidence.
The fire suddenly blazed, bringing Bardulf out of his thoughts.
When faced with a decision to either have Malic use his magic, or try to find a way to disarm the trap, what was decided?
A) Have Malic use his magic to escape – 2 Votes
B) Attempt to disarm the trap – 5 Votes
If you’re counting, there were only 6 comments on the post. I had a late vote for A this morning, so I’m going to include it. I was beginning to think that I might have made the choice too easy again. And I thought I was giving a fairly balanced choice. Ha!
I’m going to try to get Part 6 up on Friday, but I do have some other things going on that could prevent this. I’m going to try my best. Now to disarm some traps.
