Re: Lost in the Jungle
Can't believe i forgot all about water blast!
Hit the lava with it, the steam cloud could give us enough cover to avoid the dragons attention till we get across. If the spell is focused in one spot we could probably make another stepping stone to make it the rest of the way across. If not, then A1 and aim for the wings.

Re: Lost in the Jungle
Ehhhhh I would say B, there's just no telling how effective the spell is when you're standing on a piece of rock and a dragon swoops on you while you are on a river of lava.
Not to mention if you do hit it, is it going to crash land on you?

Re: Lost in the Jungle
Told you Eve shouldve dealt with the freaking dragon before crossing the river of freaking fire
So I'm going to go for the retarded option of C, may as well go out in style

Re: Lost in the Jungle
Vote D, 'hit the lava with Water Blast, then fall back on Thunder Blast III on the Dragon's wings' wins!
----- Faced with an untimely, fiery demise, Eve mentally leaps into action. Reaching inside herself for her magic, she invokes the necessary spell: "Ramr adurna!" Water sprays out in a violent burst from both of Eve's palms, the force of it almost knocking her backwards. It strikes the lava, and vapourises instantly from the heat, forming a thick, foggy vapour. Fantastic! Hidden from sight by the cloud, Eve tries to think of the next stage in her plan. The water seemed to have cooled the lava a little, maybe hardened the surface of it - A blast of wind almost knocks Eve straight into the lava for the second time in 30 seconds. The dragon has stopped breathing its stream of fire, and is hovering nearby - but the thing's so huge, the beating of its wings is blowing Eve's cloud away! Glancing around, it catches sight of Eve, standing on her rock in the river of lava. It's huge, dinner-plate sized eyes, yellow and slitted, spot her standing there, defenceless. "Well, fuck." is Eve's only response. The dragon's chest rumbles, and its mouth snaps open - launching a stream of fire that incinerates Eve in a second. **** When Eve regains consciousness, she's somewhere cool and chilled. For a moment its a blessed relief - but then she spots the wooden door in front of her. The same wooden door she knows for a fact opens into the volcano zone, with its resident giant reptile. Eve strides forwards, up to the door, anger at her unjust death burning inside her - then has a quick look back to see if there's an easier way to proceed. Besides a dimming, circular rune on the floor (presumably where she was brought back to life) there's just the white stone walls. Well, Eve reflects slightly more calmly, at least whatever entity runs this place was kind enough to reanimate all her equipment and clothing along with her body. She opens the door in front of her, then steps out again into the sweltering heat of the volcano, and its black and brown rocky floor. The first thing Eve notices - the dragon has its back to her. It's still hard to appreciate the scale of creature; Eve is convinced she's seen smaller churches. Fortunately, its head rests on the ground (as does the whole creature, come to think of it), curved crimson horns pointing back towards her, and it's lying right next to the river of lava - the branch of the Y that Eve needs to cross to get to the exit. The deep rumbling noises coming from the beast suggest it's either asleep or resting very peacefully... but it's impossible to be sure without getting closer. ----- Option A) Go with the original plan of using rocks as stepping stones across the lava. Option A1) Ignore the dragon, hopefully it's asleep. Option A2) Go check that the Dragon is asleep. Of course, if it isn't, it might spot you. Option B) Climb aboard the dragon while it's asleep. Option B1) Wait for it to get up, and fly to the correct bit of the zone, where we can make a break for it. Option B2) Zap its hide with Thunder Blast III, that'll wake him up nicely and he'll fly there quicker. We can't wait too long, the heat is horrendous. Option C) Take the dragon down in combat. It's asleep (probably) so now is the time to strike! Option C1) Please specify what spell to use, and if you want to attack its rear end in relative safety, or if you want to risk going up to the head and attacking that. Option D) Other. Status:

Re: Lost in the Jungle
Given our poor chances either way, I'll go with A1.

Re: Lost in the Jungle
OK, I'm aware that moral in this topic is pretty low. There's no been much sex lately - unless you count the poorly written and quickly skipped over zombie group thing - a couple of people haven't posted since Formora died, and we've just been killed by a giant dragon, which there's no immediately obvious way past.
So here's some points: - Even 13 pages in, this is still my first CYOA ever, and I'm learning all the time. Hopefully I'll get the sex/adventure balance better in my next attempt. - Not having Formora around didn't bother anyone for the first goodness knows how many pages. - We're nearly at the end. The CYOA ends when we get the top of the Temple, regardless of the decision made when there (although obviously the decision affects the ending). - There's nothing in the Temple any harder than the dragon (although perhaps a couple of things as hard). So, chin up! We can do this! We're nearly there! Screw the dragon, screw grief! One last push! Also, votes A1, B1, and C are all tied on 3 votes each. So I'm just going to pick the one that I know will work (being the writer does have its advantages). A1 - Use stones to cross the river! ----- Still shaken from her untimely incineration, Eve creeps quietly down to where the dragon lies. It's still rumbling peacefully... although occasionally the tail flicks across the rock-covered ground, sending a few flying. Maybe it really is asleep. Regardless, Eve doesn't waste any more time; she picks up another hefty rock and tosses it into the river. It lands with a splash, but the giant red beastie over on her left doesn't even twitch. Good. Now, Eve considers, a different strategy is required. A rock large enough to stand on would be too big to throw far enough out into the running lava - so lots of little ones will have to do. Looking behind, Eve spots a selection of more suitable, fist-sized rocks (there's not exactly a shortage of them in this zone). The heat is still overbearing, crushing, and sweat runs freely down her body, as Eve labours back and forth, tossing the stones in, watching as they hiss... but after half an hour of work, she's done. The first platform, wide enough to stand on, is in easy jumping distance from the bank, and beyond that is a pile of smaller rocks that stick out of the lava. It looks sturdy enough, although it took so long to put together, Eve feels she's starting to push her luck with old sleepy over there... Best to move quickly. Eve jumps onto the first platform, lands smoothly, then leaps across to the pile. One rock shifts beneath her weight as she lands, and for a heart-stopping second Eve feels she's about to be dumped in the river... only to recover her balance just in time. Heart pounding, and even more sweat running down her body, Eve jumps the final gap with ease, landing on the other side of the branch of Y - and with the exit directly ahead! Exhausted but relieved, Eve sets off across the rock-strewn ground. After a couple of minutes at a steady jog, she passes the dragon's head - and one beady eye flicks open as she passes. Startled, it staggers to its feet, roaring in surprise. "NO!" cries Eve. "Fuck this! Ramr kveykva!" A bolt of white hot electricity leaps from her outstretched hand - and strikes the dragon directly in the eye. It reels back, roaring in agony, but Eve's already running for the exit - a lone archway standing empty in the distance. Eve runs like she's never run before. Behind her she hears the sound of the dragon recovering, furious with her escape. There's a huge rumble, then a splash - it must've jumped across the river of lava in a single bound. A huge, deafening flapping sound, a blast of air that almost sends her sprawling - the dragon has taken flight again. Shitshitshit- A huge rumble comes from behind her, but Eve's close now. The roar of fire fills her ears as the dragon bears down on her, swooping down at tremendous speed, fire blazing out before it. The inferno reaches her - And then Eve's through the archway. Safe. Cool. A white hot, furious fire burns the air on just the other side of the archway - but it can't penetrate. The temperature drops away in an instant, and Eve collapses on the floor in relief. Half an hour she lies there, sweat cooling off her body and dripping onto the cool stone floor. The roars and snaps of the furious dragon keep her company, but apparently the creepy guy at the temple entrance was right - she's completely safe in the voids between the zones. Some time later, still shaken but partially recovered, Eve proceeds. Behind her is the archway, but now she seems to be in a stone walled room, with simple braziers on the wall, and a staircase ahead. The stone is black again... how ominous, Eve thinks dryly. Eve proceeds up the narrow, twisting staircase, and eventually finds herself in front of (another) thick wooden door. Steeling herself, she pushes it open... and gasps in delight. A garden. It's dim, like a garden at twilight, but beautiful nonetheless. Thick, green foliage, beautiful, colourful flowers, a pond with water trickling merrily down to it via a small stream... and it smells so intoxicating. The exit... it's a door on the otherside of the garden, standing on its own with no walls. It's only 10 or so meters away... but the plants! ----- Option A) Go and have a dip in the pond to cool off after our last sweaty encounter. Option B) Go and roll around in the thick grass over there. It looks like fun! Option C) Go and examine the flowers. Some of them Eve might recognise as medicinal... and they smell so nice! Option D) Go and climb the tree over there in the glade - perhaps something interesting lies in the branches, or we might be able to see something interesting. Option E) Go straight to the exit, trying not to breathe in again. Option F) Examine ALL of the plants! Status:

Re: Lost in the Jungle
E. Maybe be ready to lasso ourselves towards the door with Flexible Shadow, or the door itself. Might help stop us from getting into any distracting trouble.

Re: Lost in the Jungle
Blast, I failed to choose correctly again!
While I am a big fan of seeing what could possibly go wrong in the bathing area, I don't want to be the jerk who gets us killed again. Though I would vote for it in a heartbeat if I knew it would just be smut. Corruption never killed anybody, right? So I vote E because it seems the least likely to result in bad times for our hero (prays E results in lots and lots of smut anyway, everyone else was voting for E anyway...) BTW nice work on the CYOA so far. I have enjoyed it for the most part, I certainly couldn't have done a better job. At any rate I will do my best to vote on through the bitter (sexy) end, regardless! Looking forward to the next one too! Good luck!
