Odysseus retrieves his equipment, walks towards his new companions:
“Game? Now that you make me think…”
He pauses a little.
In his mind appears strange images of him in a blue pajama.
A nice middle-aged woman with toothbrush in her hand saying
“You come to bed soon, Peter?!”
“Yeah, yeah, I must finish this damned report you know” saying behind a big screen.
Then the woman goes to sleep and he thinks:
“Ah, finally, some time for playing my new game! Ulysses last stand! Nice!”
He touches CREATE CHARACTER and after some buttons SAVE.
Strange sounds envelops him, his mind goes blank and he cannot remember nothing more.
“Oh, gods!” He loudly swears.
Who am I? Odysseus or Peter?
Dazed and confused for a moment, he recovers his bearing.
“Game? Wayward gods are used to play with us, no doubt. If we are to play, we will play to win, by strength or by subtlety. Let’s play then: I am quick both with arms and with thoughts, plus I can invoke the wrath of my goddess, Athena, wherever we are I am sure she looks upon me with a merciful eye, the same you can see in her shield”
Odysseus shows the eye relieved on his shield
The truth is: he doesn’t care if he is called Peter or Odysseus right now, he always dreamed to be in adventures like the heroes of old and now he is one of them: Ulysses , drawn away from home in new and strange places: this jungle is just another new one: he will face it and he will escape, as always.
"Wait? You've forgotten who you were?" He glances at his companions. "But you know enough to know you're in the game?"
Glen looks over again “ahh yes i’ve always reminded myself that I’m in a game, in hopes I could get out. Alas I’ve forgotten who I was before, all I can remember is loreth... “can I ask all your names now that I’ll be traveling with you” he speaks to everyone’s
"Rachel Antonova, or Roxie if you prefer to go by the character screen. Still trying to figure out this moon-and-harp badge on my armour. Hey do you think I'm like a sheriff or something?"
Loreth listens to all the others “nice to meet all of you, I look forward to working with you” he the. Hears roxie speak of getting out, he runs over to hear grabbing onto her shoulders “there’s... a way to get out!” “We must go now” he let’s go pulling out his weapons, then mutters to himself must get out, must get out...
ooc: since the thread is a little still, I had just a look at previous pages and I saw between page 11 and 12 that you have a map leading towards a big X where this relic should be...
sorry for the meta-gaming but was just to speed up a little
"If you got a map, then, maybe we can ask the shaman or any guide in the tribe what's in the way and more or less how long does it take. And, of course, if they can spare some food..."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Odysseus
Saying that, Odysseus goes to the shaman of the tribe, bowing a little in fornt of him
"Shaman, I understand you held me prisoner because you thought I meant harm but, as you can see, I do not, and I am greatful you set me free.
Joining these coreageous people, I came to know about the relic they are looking"
ooc: sorry for speeding it up a little
Showing the map to the shaman and the big X as destination:
"Here is where we are supposed to go. Its everybody's best interest if we know all we can about it.
Please, tell us what you know: what's overthere? and what about all these signs along the road: which are safe and which are to avoid? And also, how long could it take?
we must be honest, since the outcome of the quest will help your tribe, could you aid us also with food, rations and whatever you can spare to sostain us along the way?"
The shaman looks at the map for a second “hmm, I would suggest heading throught here” he points to a what looks like a pond “this water is near the edge of are territory, so you should be able to get there safely”

I'm Merlin. Or Tom, back in the real world. You guys have any idea where we're going?
Odysseus shakes his head saying no

Odysseus
"I overheard the shaman saying you are searching for a relic or something? is that true?"
"We're working on the theory that if we can recover this relic that seems to be responsible for the monster attacks we can go home."
Loreth listens to all the others “nice to meet all of you, I look forward to working with you” he the. Hears roxie speak of getting out, he runs over to hear grabbing onto her shoulders “there’s... a way to get out!” “We must go now” he let’s go pulling out his weapons, then mutters to himself must get out, must get out...
So we've been told. Not that they told us much about where to go or what to do to manage it...
ooc: since the thread is a little still, I had just a look at previous pages and I saw between page 11 and 12 that you have a map leading towards a big X where this relic should be...
sorry for the meta-gaming but was just to speed up a little
OOC: That's a fair point though.
"We kinda know where to go - Has anyone got that damn map? - but we need to figure out what to do with it."

Odysseus looks the shaman straight in the eyes with good will and respectfully
“I am sorry we can’t afford any food, I hope for your sake there is food by the water area”

We should get moving. The sooner we can find this relic and get out of this game, the better...
