A Villain In A World Of Heroes

Point of note: Cedra is still in the river, she should probably get out of the water before going crazy with ice bolts.

Actually, we're right by the banks, and were going to investigate it's odd color before SUDDENLY WIZARD FISH AMBUSH! ...and now I can't stop thinking about these fish wearing funny hats. We're not in the river.
 
[X] Spam Nova Glacium into the river. Freeze as much of the water as you can. Aim for the fish, but also cut off its means of attacking you. Freezing the river will at least block off its ability to hit you.
 
Let's not freeze the water we are about to investigate, m'kay? That will hinder our investigation later on.

[X] Spam firebolts everywhere to boil the fish alive.

will using fire or ice on the river actually do anything ice breaks up in running water and it probably takes more energy then we have to boil it.
[] Target the fish with Ice
or
[X]just leave considering we don't have a fish line or anything so to eat the fish we would have to go into the river and search for the body and i find it hard to believe that they all attacked us after all there's always a bigger fish.

And we are launching a ice-bolt every second.
And if we just started concentrating on belting out the words we could bring it down to 0.67-ish seconds. Nova Glacium looks like a mouthful, but it's not. That's why I want us to try to discover a cheap (power wise) attack spell with a single word, so we can buy a good hat and become a touhou.

Welp, we finally ended up poisoning ourselves... Here's hoping that the fish were tasty! ^-^

Edit: And they were! They were incredibly delicious! :D

Here's hoping that we get something besides a heightened elemental affinity from this. I wish to be Girl!Magical!Cannibal!Not-Digital!Mega-man.
 
Of the River
First, you attempt to shoot at the fish nearest to you, but you miss, and the ice bolt hits the water instead. At least it freezes part of the river, which is helpful. The fish seem to be ready to fire their water balls, but you get your next shot off first.

You are insanely lucky, not only does your ice bolt pierce the first fish's head, the bolt goes through it and pierces a second fish as well, killing them both. Unfortunately, the last fish takes this opportunity to fire a waterball at you. You manage to dodge the waterball, but only barely.

You counter attack with one more shot, which pierces through the last fish and instantly kills it. You then wade into the river to grab the bodies of the fish before they float away. As you turn around to head back to the riverbank, however, some of the river water splashes into your mouth. It tastes horrible and you go to spit it out. Unluckily, you accidentally swallowed some of the water, and you start feeling I'll with in a second. You run towards the riverbank and fall on your hands and knees once You reach it. You start puking up blood, chunks of meat, and this weird black liquid.

Once you finish puking, you crawl away and lay down on the ground to recuperate. After a minute, you start feeling goof again, so you start cutting into the fish to find thier hearts. The hearts are not that big compared to other things you have eaten, but they are very delicious. As you eat them, you feel like you have some sort of affinity to the river. You wade back into the river, careful not to get any water into your mouth, and discover that you can form waterballs like the fish you ate. You can do it without a spell! Unfortunately, you can't control the water very well if you aren't shooting it in the shape of a ball, and it is exhausting, like non spell magic, but it is still easier then lifting pebbles or even creating gusts.

One more thing is on your mind though, how long should you stay in the forest? You have certainly gotten stronger, but, at the same time, you are definitely not strong enough to defeat a hero. There is training to consider as well, you aren't likely to find any instructor s out here, although you have already gotten better from all the fights you have been in.

How long do you stay?
[] Head back to town now.
-[] Find a different river to get cleaned up at first
-[] Just use this river
-[] Head back as you are
[] One more day
[]Two more days
[] A week
[] Write in

If you chose to stay, what do you do?
[] Wander
[] Write in


--------------------------------------------------​
Trait Gained:
Of the River: After eating the hearts of three fish from a poisonous river, you gain the ability to form and shoot high powered balls of water without a spell and gained greater control over water. Whether there are other effects remains to be seen.
