Legend

As you walk out the door, you ignore your mother's pleas and your father's condemnations. You could care less, they can be fools and die here too if they insist.

In fact you don't care about any of the scowls you're getting as you leave. It matters little considering that it most likely won't be around too much longer.

Lose 10 alignment points!

As you set out on your way of the opposite direction that the merchant arrived in you get a feeling that this probably won't be a simple escape, and you're right.

The goblins, orcs and the rest aren't just coming from one direction; apparently they've established a presence in the entire area. A couple hours pass and you're hearing the pulling of bow stringsĀ…

"Target practice!" a hobgoblin shouts.

You can avoid being impaled if you have a shield, or if you're a wizard you can cast a shield spell

If not you'll have to test your LUCK and add 3

If you fail, you'll be impaled by a couple of arrows. Lose 6 STAMINA points.

There's too many to fight and most of them are already loading up more arrows. You begin to run and a few start to give chase.

You haven't been this way before, but staying on the road is probably dangerous as they probably have more of their numbers up ahead. You're aware that there's a forest and a swamp nearby. You're going to have to choose which one you want to try to escape through.
