Swearing revenge

From Create Your Own Story

You return from a long hunt around dusk, dragging the carcass of a freshly-slain monitor lizard.

But there is no warm welcome.

The village, once a safe haven in this dangerous world, lies in ruins. Smoke rises in thick columns from the smoldering buildings. Only the main hut remains standing. Dead bodies are scattered all around. Even from the distance you recognize many of your kin and tears flood your eyes. But there is pride, too. They did not go down without a fight: for every murdered villager, there are two corpses in the tell-tale black tunic of the God-King's soldiers.

This must have been a slave raid. Those not dead either were likely captured and taken... but where? This question is easy to answer. There are deep furrows in the earth, left by a large, heavy, tracked vehicle. They lead north. Towards the God-King's citadel. It is there you must go to look for your family.

• You investigate the main hut.
• There is no time to lose. You follow the tracks north.
