CYOA: Everlasting Bonds, Tactics ogre CYOA (prototype)

Chapter 1: Outbreak of war


"I'm heading for Rhime." You say, the image of a huge city comes to your mind.
You don't know where Rhime is however, as you soon come to realize that.
Astrid nods with you, a smile on her face.

"Amusing that you're an amnesiac, but remember the names of places. I take it you don't know where it is?" She asks in an
authoritative tone. She has obviously been on the field before. You nod slowly, picking up a iron sword from a lizard man's corpse. "I'm afraid not." You continue, taking the sheathe from the same lizard man. Astrid kneels, and picks up a bag.
She opens it, revealing small yellow coins. "200 gold." She murmurs, handing it to you. A brief look, and it seems to have
dropped from one of the beasts.


"Thanks." You answer with a brief smile. The dame walks in front of you, a frown on her face.
"I'm afraid that I'll have to make a stop to Almorica, sir Celice." 


She she seems to wait on your response. You rub the sleeves of your jacket, contemplating.
--------


How do you respond?


A. Agree to accompany her to Almorica. Safety in numbers is best.


B. Tell her you are in a hurry. The two of you will go separate ways.


C. Ask her for information regarding Rhime. You don't want to walk into a battlefield.

A can't have our amnesiac wandering alone.

An enchantress passes you, and you quickly call out, "Excuse me, but do you know the current happenings of Valeria?"
The woman turns around, raising her blonde eyebrow with confusion.
"Yes, the Bakram have found some sort of report dating back one thousand years ago.
They say it contains the true events of something. Duke Hemingway way is currently in a meeting with outsiders about it." She says, before
walking off.

Satisfied, you turn around to the door, wondering what type of report it is. You don't really know much about Valeria now that you come to think of it.
You remove the bloodstained wrappings from your head. To your surprise no wound is there. Your head feels funny though.
You can't quite place your finger on it though. Astrid isn't the first to leave the room, but some sort of tan muscular man does.
You gawk at the wings on his back. They are black, but a feathery as a birds.

The weird man is dressed in blue medium armor. His hair is an unnatural shade of blue, yet wild.
"Eh? What are you staring at?" He booms.

"Your wings." You answer. You muster up the courage to look him in the face. He seems like an experienced fighter.
On his back is a large iron axe. On his left hip is a short bow that looks worn.
The man checks himself over.

"Never seen a Vartan I take it, or as you humans call it, winged. I'm Arnaeus by the way." He gives you a wolfish grin.

"Celice." You manage to return his grin. Astrid suddenly appears behind Arnaeus, flustered.

"Please step in." She tells you, eyeing Arnaeus angrily. You quirk an eyebrow. What did the Vartan do to her you think.
You do as she says though, entering a room for for a king. To your awe sits a silver haired man with grey eyes. His robes are regal and equally grey.
"Greetings, Celice. I hear you were wondering the plateau." He greets with a curt smile.

You can tell he is quite young, almost your age perhaps. If you knew how old you were that is.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my liege." You kneel. You don't want to upset a man on power.

"Please rise." Hemingway waves nonchalantly. Immediately you obey.

"I hear you wanted to join the Almorican knights." He continues.

You stare owlishly. You didn't recall saying that. You assume Astrid added that in to remove suspicion from the duke.

How do you respond?

A. "Of course, I'm here to fight for my people."

B. "I'm not one for fighting, but if I must..."

C. "I'm not here for knighthood, my liege."
----

Depending on your response, the storyline changes yet again.

B for being neutral

C

Okay, so I figured out a new way to break two way ties. Roll an RNG.
If it is a number above 50 top option wins.
A number below? 2nd wins.

Obviously this won't work for four ways unless you split it up.
I'm gonna roll it later and pick either A or B depending on what I said above.

B random loot ftw.

Well, the RNG liked you this time around X
-------
Putting off the task Astrid assigned you sounds to be an unwise course of action.
After a brief wall down a flight of stairs, you are introduced to a shop on your left.
You enter hesitantly, taking a look around. The walls are practically littered with
armor and weapons, along with a few healing and mana potions.

The shopkeeper looks up, her red eyes flashing with interest.
She's a redhead you note, wearing traditional shopkeeper clothing.
"Oh, never seen you around. Names Sarah, come take a look at the wares." She says excitedly.

"I am a bit new, but if you insist, I'll do as you say." You reply, taking a look around.
You see iron axes, grimoires, and even a lobber.
After browsing you make your decision.
----

What do you buy?

A. A buckler for 600 Oberyth, two mending leaves for 50 Oberyth, and the lobber for 1000 Oberyth.

B. An iron axe for 200 Oberyth, a leg guard for 100, and gloves for 200.

C. A whip for 800 Oberyth, one mending lead for 25 Oberyth, and 15 stones for 15 Oberyth.

Before you say "why do we need stones?" You'll see just how important they are soon..
Also, sorry for not updating last night. Multitasking and tiredness are my excuse.
