Many of you may remember old school books that you could read, that let you choose the path in which your character would progress. Much like those stories, we wanted to bring you our own spin on these.


Welcome to Epic Tales of Uncertainty!

Each week, until your adventure is concluded, you- the forums- will choose the path for your character. A poll will be made (see above) that will give you choices- choices which can lead to riches, fun, and yes- even death. The rules are simple:

  • Vote.
  • This is a for "fun" forum game.
  • You may reply here to try and sway your fellow forum go-ers, keeping in mind our lovely Social Guidelines.
  • You may speculate as to how the decision will impact your character
  • You could even go so far as to think how many weeks your character will live
  • Winning consists of choosing the right choice that leads the character to a "happy ending."
  • Every vote will have 4 choices
  • The ones who vote for the winning choice (each week) will be awarded a new forum title of "Uncertainly Epic"



With the rules clearly stated, we now begin our tale:

Part one of our tale can be found here!
Part two of our tale can be found here!

You carefully weigh your options. Seeing as how you are still a bit unsure on your feet, you choose to go up the tree and scout the landscape. You make it halfway up and realize that your vantage point is not great. You can make out what appears to be a caravan in the distance, but you're not sure of how well guarded it is. If you could just get up a bit more, you would see how many guards are with it for sure. Unfortunately, the tree thins as it goes up, and makes it much more dangerous to scale. It could break, but you think your body isn't so heavy that it would.

There is another tree nearby, and you could try and jump to it. It seems to have a bit thicker branches and trunk. You have moved up fairly high, and are still feeling a bit dizzy. This may be a good idea, but you are a bit concerned that about potentially falling on a very sharp rock that protrudes from the ground.

You could climb back down. This may be a good time to go back and re-visit your choices. Those voices you heard earlier are getting a bit louder, and this concerns you. You can't see how far off they are, but you know they are getting closer with every minute.

You could also try and lure the voices to you, by making sounds that would attract them. You've had practice with making bird calls, and knowing your surroundings, the calls you would make would be appropriate. You'd just have to worry about bringing those large men to you, and possibly being attacked and... "mated" by them.

With the voices closing in, and the caravan going out of your viewing distance soon, you know the time to act is now.
