You are Knight Susan, an adventurer and daughter of a well-off noble who is part of the council...

You are Knight Susan, an adventurer and daughter of a well-off noble who is part of the council. You are also a Sucor, which is an amphibious humanoid species that mingles with humanity, although, obviously, unable to breed with the other species. As such, after gaining an adequate education as well as hard training in the role of a squire, you became a knight, taking the gifts of land of your own and plate army. While on your way to your new home, you suddenly ran into a demon.
This demon looked similar to giant, skinless human. However, It had round maws on its palms, slit pupils in yellow eyes, a pair of legs coming from its back, a tail ending in a clawed hand, and large horns on its head. When it parted its lips(which still were covered in skin), they revealed teeth like daggers and three long, black tentacles instead of a single tongue.
Obviously terrified, you sped away from the entity. Then, suddenly, you began to glow with a white light, and then, you saw...
[]A strange grey road in the middle of a hilly desert-like location, leading to a large town without any walls by a forest that lies on the coast of some sea.
[]A dirt-and-stone road in the forest, leading to a small stone wall with two guards in yellow clothes and steel helms watching out for whatever village is behind the wall.
[]a sea of lava, with no land feature besides metal platforms and clockwork machines which stood out of the burning substance.

All three of these sound bad for an amphibious race.

I like a good challenge!

If this is a more modern setting as the road suggests then it could be interesting to see a knight try and adapt.

Yeah, it's a location in a modern setting.
 
[X]The sky painted with various colors, mesmerized by the beauty of it all, it takes you a few seconds to realize that you're looking at a aurora up close. Turning around you notice that not a single soul is present. Worse yet, a blizzard rages around you and the biting cold is slowly sapping away your energy. Looking around, you notice the remains of a camp. As you moved towards salvation you couldn't help but notice the faint smell of blood and powder in the air. You looted the camp but found nothing of worth save for a few bottles which contained strange glowing liquid, you would have drunk it in desperation if it weren't for the fact that a loud whimper, not unlike a dog's, made you drop the bottle. You looked behind you and found yourself face to face with a creature so large you couldn't see the sky anymore. It stared at you, curious at the beast that looked like a human but wasn't. The smell of the creature's blood overpowered the smell of the human's that filled your nostrils earlier. You would have fainted in front of the injured creature by now if you weren't paralyzed with a mixture fear and awe.

Yes this is Monster Hunter, yes you're looking at a injured Ucamulbas/Ukanlos, and yes I want you to tame it and ride it into battle.

THE WHITE GOD SHALL BE OUR STEED!

As you feel yourself fall over and tumble, you get up, sun shining in your eyes. You instantly get up. This place is very hot, and in this heavy armor, your going to be cooked. However, you also have your canteen, which is full of water. What do you do?
[]Remove armor
[]Drink from canteen
[]Explore area
[]Walk towards the town

You decide to take off your armor. Your thankful that you were wearing a light cotton shirt and trousers underneath it. You take a swig from your canteen(although you are careful not drink all of it) and then look at the town. It's a fair distance away, but you think you can reach it in around fifteen minutes. Taking your sword and shield(although not your armor), you head toward it.

Walking along the road, it is quite hot. If you had all your plate on, you would be an egg in a pot. Thankfully, you are not wearing your plate, so you can move around at a fair pace. You see strange beings on the road; like horseless carriages coming in many colors. A bird passes over, shrieking. The town isn't too far now: you can even make out a sign. As you examine it, you read what it says out-loud to yourself.

"Welcome to Sunnydale." So that's what this town is called. Doesn't sound too threatening or dangerous; in fact, it sounds quite friendly and pleasant. Hopefully, the town lives up to it. After all, their are a lot of places with pleasant-sounding names that are not, indeed, pleasant places. Also, you really hope that this town is alright with nonhumans.

What do you do?
[]Walk around the town, exploring it.
[]Ponder on the name.
[]Whip out your sword and let loose a battle cry for no reason at all.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer then?

Oh boy, hopefully people are willing to listen first and try to stake second.

[X]Walk around the town, exploring it and try to find a place to stay without drawing too much attention...

Why would we get staked? It's the middle of the day and we probably don't look like a vampire.

We're going to want to leave soon after getting our bearings here. Moving to the coast is probably a good idea.
 
But we might get unwanted attention...

By the way, how similar in appearance are Sucors to humans? Can we fool people at a moderate distance, or will we need to cover our face?
Well, first off, they don't have external ears, or a nose. Also, their skin is slimy(pale blue for females and pink for males), they obviously don't have any mammalian bits(like hair or breasts), the eyes are completely black, and finally, they don't really have any lips. Not only that, but their teeth are sharp and their tongues long.

So yeah, you may look a teensy bit like a demon to everyone here. Technically, you are pretty much a Buffyverse demon as far as people are concerned, even though the demons in the universe she is in look like incredibly fucked-up and terrifying giant humans(or whatever the hell they used to be.)
 
[X]Walk around the town, exploring it and try to find a place to stay without drawing too much attention...
You decide that exploring the town is pretty much the only option available. However, drawing attention is not desirable. So, you walk, looking to see if people are about whenever you can. Strange carriages made out of metal, not driven by horses, move across the street, which seem to have people inside them. You avoid them when possible, hiding both behind and in bushes. You make your journey, sword in sheath and shield in hand, through much of this area, until you reach a crossroad. Upon seeing that the metal carriages stop here, you decide to dash across to the other side of the street.
Quickly running, hoping above all hopes that you'll be, for the most part, ignored, honking noises surround you. By the time you make it to the other side, you obviously have been spotted. Noticing a grave yard, you open the gate and walk in, hiding behind gravestones and making your way to the mausoleum, which you think looks like a good place to hide.
[]Go into the mausoleum.
[]Find somewhere else to hide.
