[PASCAL ON THE MOUNTAIN]

Characters: Pascal, Brother Deer
Location: ???
Time: Day 116, Night
Description:

[a quest]

[if needed]

[You are at the foot of a tall, barren mountain rising from the middle of a vast forest. Any greenery ends where you stand, as if they don't dare to grow further, and there is nothing but dirt and rock in front of you. There's a vague trace of an old path leading up the mountain, but the way doesn't look easy. There's something that looks like the mouth of a cave, high up.]

Your task is to carry the water up to it, near the peak. Can you see the cave?

[Brother Deer is also here, with the water-filled golden bowl.]

. . .

Brother Deer?

[There's a clatter of hooves, and he's here.]

Hero Pascal~

[oh gosh it worked]

Hello. I brought five locks of hair.

Well done!

[A golden bowl filled with water appears on the ground.]

Dip it in the water three times, keehaha!

Okay. . .

[does so!]

[It's now a white bandage! Dry, too.]

Tie it on, tight and true! But I can see this will not be enough... if at all.

The task I asked of you before - are you ready this hour?

[tying it on his skelefingers]

Ah, sorry, wait––not enough? What do you mean?

[lowers his head .-.]

It is strong. It is wrong!! It's no simple injury.

. . .You mean that it won't heal?

Not with one quest, no. I don't know how much it would take.

[. . .unwraps the bandage and tucks it away then '-' and slips his glove back on]

I see. . . what is the second thing that you need me to do?

I am sorry. [._.]

Are you still willing?

It's alright.

I said that I would go, so I will go.

I need someone to deliver water to a place in the mountain. There are some dangers there... but I will do what I can to prepare you.

[he bows his head]

Hold on to my antler and close your eyes.

Like this?

[antler grab and closes his eyes]

Yes.

[The world seems to sway under your feet. The air smells different, and sounds are hushed.]

...We are here!

Yes, I see it. What are the dangers?

Creatures and riddles. And lots of rocks! Answer them and they may let you pass, though some may not be too faiiir. The way is high and the road can be narrow. I cannot go, I cannot go...

. . .Alright. I am ready.

Take up the bowl and take a sip! On this task you may transform into a beast. Fight or flee, try not to spill!

And if you arrive to the top... pour the water over the one you will find in the cave. Please.

. . .?

[takes a sip??]

[You gain a new ability: Transform! You know you can change into an animal when you desire it, though your one hand will remain as a skeleton. Though remember, animals can't really carry bowls of water...]

It will last the journey! Now go, and good luck!!

Thank you.

[off we go /o/]
