Running? No, something told you that it might end badly.
Hiding? You were always good at passing unnoticed by everyone around you; From your parents, to your classmates, to your teachers, to your pets.
It was time to put your capabilities in good use.
You took cover behind one of the trees, waiting to see what could happen, and then run away.
It didn't took long for the... thing, to appear.
It's figure reminded you vaguely of an ant; it walked on it's four legs, there were two on each side of it's body, short and flexed keeping itself close to the ground, it's torso was tiny, specially compared to it's backside and head, who were at least double it's size.
But what truly caught your attention, was the bright orange light that came from it's head, like a cyclops.
It seemed to use it as a flashlight of sorts, seemingly attempting to flash everywhere the thing put it's sight on.
You crouched and stood still, attempting to evade it's sight and light, hoping for it to go away.
The thing had been looking in it's surroundings, searching for something, but you relaxed as it seemed that it was just about to go away...
As you though of that, the ting then set it's eyes on your hiding spot and the thing held it's gaze for a few more moments, and it was able to see one of your hands on the dirt.
The thing noticed you, and you were about to make a run for it outside of it's range.
Then, the thing screeched.
It was loud and high-pitched.
You attempted to cover your ears with your hands, but it was futile, you could literally feel your eardrums bleeding from the screech of the monster.
You felt a hot, burning pain coming from your ankle.
HP 10/10 -2
"AGHHH!" You cried as you fell to the ground, your head hitting the floor with a painful thud.
You started crying.
This... What the actual fuck was happening?!
The monster didn't cared for your cries, though.
It lunged at you, seemingly ready to finish you, but not before climbing on top of you and flashing it's orange light in your face.
Your at this point were entering in shock; everything felt so... distant, for some reason.
'This is it...?' you were going to die like this, at the claws of something you didn't had the slightest idea of what it was? Right after you came to your hometown? Just because you wanted to take a stroll in the woods? Just because you were feeling nostalgic? Just because...? Because...?
There was something else there, you knew that, but you were taken out of your thoughts by the monster.
You breathed, it was hard to do so, but you breathed; you felt sore and with pain all over your body. HP 03/10 +5
But still, you were still alive, and that's what matters.
The monster looked just as willing to kill you as before, despite this new impediment.
You feel a weight in your hands that wasn't there before, you look at them and...
(Choose two) [] ...You saw a dagger in one your hands. it was sharp, short, silent and quick. You knew you were going to need it. (1d6, +4 damage enemies taken by surprise) [] ...You saw a pistol in one of your hands. it seemed like one of those old ones that required to reload after every shot. You knew that this one wasn't going to need that.(1d5, does not need to recharge, elemental shots available from the beginning) [] ...You saw a musket in one of your hands. it was great for the distance, and every reload was filled with power. Power you knew that you were going to need it.(1d10, needs to recharge after a shot, elemental shots so far unavailable) [] ...You saw a shortsword in one of you hands. the blade was sharp, and it was going to announce itself to the world by cutting this beast. You knew you were going to like that.(1d8, increases damage by landing consecutive attacks) [] ...You saw a spear in one of your hands. It was perfect to stab your enemies at a distance. You knew you would find it useful.(1d10, +2 bonus to magical attacks)
At the same time, you noticed that your outfit had changed, it was now...
Which means the most optimal options are the Dagger (For Sneak attacks), the Musket (For long range attacks) or the Pistol (for versatility and a middle ground between the two options)

Question for Unknown, would the pistol fit under long range weapons? Also, do we gain any advantages for dual wielding weapons? Because we can dual wield the pistol and the dagger, but not with the musket.
It depends on the weapon chosen, you can totally do it with dagger/shortsword and pistol, but you can't do the same with the spear and musket, for example, due to them being two-handed weapons (I mean, you can try, but you will receive maluses to your accuracy and PWR).
Yep, it has a shorter range than the musket, so you will have less range to strike, but it is a long-ranged one.

I've seen plenty of people use spear one handed. Slashes are more dependent on foot work and you lose some striking power, but it can be done. Watch fate zero.

hey, if we already have the pocket watch we might as well go for an elegant Victorian style.
As for the pistol and the short sword, the pistol will serve us to attack from far / medium distance (and also if it is possible to perform bloodborne-style parrys) and the short sword for when the confrontations are made at close range (influences the that looks good a gun and a sword)

Double spear seems unlikely to gain any ground in this situation so I'll go with plan b.
