There were rumors of the Great King missing, knights in castle, apprentices or not were discussing and volunteered themselves to go on an adventure outside the safe sanctuary. Foods were gathered, horses were readied, groups and groups set off.

Shu, didn't see her friends around after the vow ceremony. The castle was too big for her and she vaguely had a feeling she got lost easily. Thus she didn't wander around to search for her friends, somehow she knew she would be fine with him. Him? Him...? She pondered for a few seconds but didn't get an answer. It wasn't right, she couldn't even remember who she was.

The dark hair knight apprentice shook her head, she'd liked to go with a team but everyone already grouped and left. She went to her horse and hopped - hopped - she hopped onto it finally. The sleek black male horse was too tall for her, it also had a not-so-nice temper. She could tell when he munched onto her pretty hair.

Bag of convenience foods, mainly breads, was secured onto the saddle. She checked on a last time, and she set off.

[ Step 1: The trek forwards ]

Her horse was nimble, even on the rugged mountain area. The path should be familiar if not she lost her memories, it was the road they chose from several options - mountains after mountains. One time she nearly fell off a cliff if not Noemi caught her wrist on time and pulled her up.

She forgot all of that.

It was a dangerous area required cautions, to her, it just meant that. Long hours of riding on a horse used a lot of energy and concentration, she soon feel tired and wanted to eat something. A bread, she grabbed from the bag and ate it bit by bit. Then, she felt thirsty and luckily found a clean water source to drink.

"Ah....." Her stomach suddenly felt really awful when she started the remaining miles to the forest and needed to head back. She leaned herself on the back of the horse, weakly and asked him to bring her back.

Second Attempt

He brought her back to the castle and she was diagnosed, dehydrated from the water loss. She rested on bed for several days before she fully recovered. She decided to try again, foods gathered, she rode on her horse again.

[ Step 1: The trek forwards ]

She didn't drink the raw water, why she still feel so sick? Absorbing the lesson last time, she remembered to bring her own water - the water she bucketed from the castle well, tested to be safe. Was it the bread? She searched the breads inside the bag and found one with mold all over it. She wanted to throw up because how disgusting its texture was.

Of course, she needed to go back to Camelot and failed her task.

Third Attempt

She checked all the food conditions, brought her own water and made sure she didn't touch anytime before she challenged the mountains again. It was shameful for a knight apprentice to be defeated by an illness, that wasn't acceptable for her.

[ Step 1: The trek forwards ]

She wiped the sweats on her face under the bright sun, the day time of the mountain terrains provide no shelters from the intense heat and there was danger of dehydration. Shu drank water from time to time, making sure she won't feel dizzy and protected her head with clothes. Long dark hairs also meant more heat was trapped.

On the other hand, walking on hill paths at night was perilous, in the sense that the low visibility made it hard to distinguish a safe path. Up and down and up and down, Shu climbed several mountains and the peripheral of the green forest could be seen by eyes. She was excited and urged the horse to run down the last slope leading to the forest. She therefore didn't see the hungry wolf blocking the path until she was really close to it. It jumped up and bit her on the shoulder, she swung it off with her chakram, cutting into its soft vulnerable tummy.

It whined and ran away, she was safe.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 32
YOUR HP: 20/ 30

Rolling a 2: You encounter a wild *animal here* that is extremely rabid and ferocious. It blocks the path and attacks you! You take -10 damage!

[ Step 2: The Winding Forest ]

The forest was eviler than she'd thought of, the tress grew abundantly wrapped around and formed a maze of their own. Even in daytime, sunlight barely struck through and there were many strange noises, like giggles like roars. She knew she wasn't welcomed and wanted to pass the forest as fast as she could.

Her horse thought otherwise.

He dumped her onto the ground and ran away, leaving the bag of foods on the soil.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 32
YOUR HP: 20/ 30

Rolling a 3: Your horse gives up on you, running away. Every turn you take, you must subtract another additional 5 food from the caravan.

Using reroll power

[ Step 3: The Dwarven Mountains ]

The forest was dark and dragging the heavy bag forward was difficult for a small figure like Shu. She grew up from a normal family, didn't get any training before, it really was too much for her to do it alone. Yet, she picked that path to walk on because she needed to push herself, forced herself to grow stronger.

After the forest was the labyrinth of the death. It was so creepy that Shu wondered if the King really went past that place. Even gale whistling sounded like spooky breathes, it was so alarming.

She didn't notice the abrasion created a hole at the bottom of the bag, when a beast roared and chased after her with fire, she would only dash for her survival. When it gave up, she felt the weight of the bag had a dramatic change finally.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 32-5 = 27 (27/2 = 14.5 = 15)
YOUR HP: 20/ 30

Rolling a 4: You hear a horrific roaring noise and when you look behind you you see a terrifying beast made of fire chasing you! In your horror you lose half the remaining caravan food.

[ Step 4: The Mountain Summit ]

She barely made it through the labyrinth, in front of her a high mountain. She had a feeling that she might find the king at the top of it.

The hope brightened up her mood, after so many ungraceful escapes and failures, she finally made it to the destination. She yelled at the horse: "Soldier, we made it! We made it!" Then she sadly realized he had run away when they were in the forest.

The mountain covered in white and grey snow shook with the noises and large mass of snow, ice and rocks fell from above. She roamed around the snow field and found a rope hung from a tree. She tugged it twice to test it before she grabbed onto it.

Just a few seconds she held onto the rope, the mass hit her mercilessly, the rocks in it left scratch marks on her face and limbs while the snow blanket almost suffocated her.

She hung on with her persistence, the fall lasted for half an hour until everything was calm again. She slowly opened her numb powerless fingers to let herself drop onto the snow and walked towards the top, every step left heavy footprint on the snow. She fell a few times, dusted herself and finally reached the top.

There was no king but a set of lingeries?! Well, it was cute at least.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 32-5 = 27 (27/2 = 14.5 = 15) 13? 12?
YOUR HP: 10/ 30

Rolling a 3: You accidentally shout a little too loud in excitement and unleash an avalanche! -10 damage for WHOLE PARTY. If anyone in your party hits 0 they FAIL THE QUEST
