Approach the village of Poonani
From Create Your Own Story
Of course, if you were afraid of a town like Poonani, then you could not hope to survive in Cokhabad proper. You follow the path down into town. As you approach the village, noises and movements indicate that it is populated.
The round huts are made of a hard-baked, bright clay, and the roofs are thinly thatched. As you pass, eyes appear at dark doorways, tracking your every move. For a moment, it seems like this will be all you see of the town's inhabitants. But then, a villager appears from one of the dwellings and blocks your path.
He is five feet tall. They cannot grow much taller out here, in this poisonous air. He has thick-set arms and thighs and is half-clothed in tattered breeches. His eyes are wild and his long red hair and beard stand out from his face in a wiry tangle. "Halt, stranger!" he commands. "What business have you in Poonani?"
Do you:
- Tell him you are a trader
- Ask for directions onwards
- Tell him you are hungry and need provisions
- Push him out of your way
Cast a spell!
