Choose your own path Pt4
#5 of Choose your own
After a few minutes staring at the lake and the rickety bridge,you about turn and jog back down the zig zag corridor. Surely the right passage could lead to better fortune. After ten minutes of jogging, you come back to the opening to the cave, and you take the other path.
As you walk into this new passage, a sense of annoyance and a tendency to laugh overcomes you, this passage continues in the same methodical back and forth construction, and you begin to feel bored with all the sharp turns going back and forth.
Then, after travelling roughly the same distance, you arrive in a small room. The entire room is about 10 metres circular, and has three doors, on ahead, one to the left, and one to the right.Directly in front of you, roughly in the centre of the room, is a queen sized bed, and on the bed....
On the bed lies a beautiful elf maiden, her hair long and dark, the long strands draping over her naked body, and her beautiful lithe body lies on the silk like it was made for her. She looks up from a book she is reading, and smiles.
"Well, look who just breezed in, my fine warrior."
"Who are you,and what's going on?" you ask, and the woman gives a delicate little giggle.
"So many questions, so little time.My name is Cassandra, and I am one of the Master's servants. I guard this room from any wanderers, however I will allow you past if you retrieve an item of importance to me."
"What item do you require?" You ask, hoping it isn't too hard.
The female smiles."Down back the way you came, there is another passageway that leads to a pool. Across it is a room with a beautiful emerald gem. Return it to me, and you can go freely through these doors, and you get one request from me."
It just had to be that damn bridge. It seems tactless to point out to the elf you've already been there, and so you think about it.
Go back and cross the bridge
Go back and swim the pool
or fight this elf maiden
