Adventure Scenario I

I thought I’ll liven things up by adding a new twist to the usual proceedings on this blog. And here it is: a simple role-playing scenario that requires the reader (i.e. you) to take definite action. Before any of you ask me to describe the surroundings, current hp, character level or number of attacks, remember that I mentioned earlier that it’s simple. After receiving all the responses to the scenario, I’ll divulge the action that is most feasible and rewarding in terms of XP. Keeping with the simple theme, put on your helms cause here’s the first challenge.

Scene

You’re trapped in a cellar littered with a broken oak table and several empty casks. A minor earthquake caused the ceiling near the door to collapse, blocking your only route out. You would spend time pondering about your next move; the problem is, there are two other beings in the room, both of whom want you dead. Easy peasy right? Think again. One’s a hulking yet clumsy warrior armed with a menacing battle axe; the other a robed figure wielding a staff made out of oak, polished and glistening. Trusty longsword in your hand, you circle your foes in a ring of death. What do you do?

You have: A magical longsword and one attack.

You are: facing the two, who are 6 feet apart. The blocked door is behind you, barricaded with collapsed brick and mortar.

You do not have: Any form of interaction with magic, barring your magical weapon.

Good luck, adventurer!
