[GAME 38] CITRINE

[You find yourself on a circular island of grass. Though night has fallen, the island is surprisingly well-illuminated by a stone lantern at its center. The lantern's light reaches far enough to reveal that the island is surrounded by water -- a pond? The water's glassy, greenish surface is only broken by the stems of huge white lotuses. Each lotus flower seems to glow ever so slightly, providing just a bit more light to the scene. The air is full of the scent of flowers and greenery, and the sound of crickets is almost deafening at first. It doesn't seem a stretch to assume that you're in some sort of garden.

Four ornamental wooden bridges, painted red, stretch over the pond in opposite directions. You can't tell where they lead. For the moment, the entrance to each bridge is blocked by a thickly-woven rope with zigzags of white paper hanging from them.

There is no moon in the sky, and the stars are only dim points of light.]

. . . you got the boar thing, y'can't do it.

We could go with either of the minor two options and simply keep the three we currently have.

. . . we could. But the one is everyone's gotta cut themselves, that's dumb.

It's a minor cut and will heal quickly. If we go with the single point, it'll be fine within five minutes. The ten point option is rather permanent. Do you think you'll be able to fight if every blow you throw or block hurts you?
