< Nuradan CYOA 12 - Planning in Sund | Nuradan CYOA 14 - TBD >
This is part of a weekly series of choice prompts that all my Patreon supporters get to vote on. See all the poll posts on Patreon here.
The adventure so far: You are River, a Changeling Stray that got lost, beaten, and mugged as you were traveling in the North of Nuradan. You ended up in the outskirts of the remote village of Sund, and are in desperate need for shelter and supplies. You wait for the night and try to steal something, when the same brigands attack the village! You help the townsfolk repel the intruders, and now you might have a moment to rest safely. Although part of a larger regional conflict, you decide it’s time to tackle the brigands problem together with the folks of Sund. Worried about their scouts, you start securing Sund’s perimeter..
While you don’t think the brigands will be smart enough to circle the village and try to take a peek at it from the west, you still make sure to check the whole area surrounding Sund, multiple times.
But sure enough, just as the dawn was clearing some clouds away, you spot them. As you expected, they are coming from the south east.. and they are falling right into your trap.
You let out three loud whistles, the signal you agreed upon for the south direction. You hear leaves rustling to your left, and you can spot Creed and two others running straight towards the brigand scouts.
The two men, who were just crouching in the woods, are confused by the sudden noises. But after a moment, they realize what is happening, and they turn to run away, downhill.
What will you do?
Continue patrolling. They might not be the only ones, and Creed and the others can take care of the two scouts.
Run and cut their exit. You can’t afford for them to get away, and you are lending a hand to the villagers.
Vote on Patreon until August 2nd, 2026.
