    It is the bitter taste of brackish water that jolts you into consciousness. Flailing about, you upright yourself from where you have been floating on the water's surface. The sky is overcast, and you can't tell if it's late morning or early afternoon. You're soaked to the bone and you after a moment to get your bearings find yourself on the shores of what appears to be a lake judging from the regular motion of the waves. The land is utterly covered with swarths of trees with not a clearing in sight. Not that you are able to see far as mountain ranges lay farther in the distance. Sadly the events of which led you to this sorry state are a blank in the fog of your head. Certainly quite a number of important details such as your name, personal identity, and the reason behind your current state are all muddled.

    You look to yourself and

    Pick One:

    [ ]- Shudder at the mud clinging to your elegant clothes, lithe body and fine hair. The state you've been reduced to grates at your ELVEN sensibilities.

    [ ]- Growl at the water and weeds lodged in your DWARVEN beard. You'd rather get firmly back onto stable and reliable dirt and stone any minute now.

    [ ]- Scoff at the foul water dripping off your green ORC skin. As if a little thing such as this would even trouble one such as you.

    [ ]- Tremble at how much more pathetic you look at the moment. Being a KOBOLD wasn't easy, but looking woebegone and miserable as this just made you even more of a target.

    [ ]- Rumble in amusement at how you had panicked at such a silly thing. As a LIZARDFOLK, you weren't even close to drowning anytime soon.

    [ ]- Shake your head in buddlement, sending your DRAGONBORN scales to shimmer in the light.

    [ ]- Shiver at the cold. You need to get out of the water soon or your HUMAN body will quickly take chill.

    You pull yourself out of the water. Streams of the salty liquid drip onto the shore's gravel and the dirt soon following that. As you set yourself upright you quickly notice two things.

    Pick Two:

    [ ]- How calm you have quickly shifted to. You are certain things will be alright, your FAITH assures you so.

    [ ]- How thankful you are that nobody seems to have seen you in this state. Somehow you're pretty sure from your SOCIAL acumen that this would have been a mortifying sight.

    [ ]- How worried you have become regarding your state of being at the moment. You seem KNOWLEDGEABLE enough to tell how vulnerable you are right now.

    [ ]- That your body is on edge after you have collected yourself. It seems that in this moment of weakness, your body instinctively made itself COMBAT ready.

    [ ]- Your hands itch to be put to work into improving your situation. You feel irritated that at the moment you have no plan to put your SKILL to use.

    [ ]- Something in the core of your being ripple in response to your discomfort. You feel as if right now, you have the POWER to drastically make a change to your situation.

    • As you take note of your condition, you shudder at the mud clinging to your once fine clothes, made from the most comfortably woven linen in woodland colors, now stained a dirty brown by the lake mud. Now you recall that you would be what other races call an Elf, a specimen of grace and dignity. Or you would be if you weren't in this sorry state. You have a firm certainty that everything will be alright. Yes, half remembered memories of a surge of power rushing through your very veins.

    You run your hands through your sun beamed blonde hair, any debris combing off easily. The amount of cleaning yourself up you can do is limited with your surroundings. Furthermore, you suspect that standing in place won't change anything about your predicament at the moment. After all there's nobody here to give your answers to your questions and your own mind is blank of the information you seek.

    You could

    Pick One:

    [ ]- Travel deeper into the woods. There must be other life within those trees as wood is quite an important resource. And there should be people seeking to gather those resources certainly.

    [ ]- Journey along the shore. Water is a necessary to life and stability. Where is water, there should be people.

    [ ]- Wait here along the water's edge. Surely you must have somebody out there with a connection to you. Certainly you would be missed and there should be others searching for you… right?

    As you ponder your choice of destination, something about the cut of your fashion seems to twinge a stray thought in your head. That along with your certainty about circumstances resolving themselves seem to stem from...

    Pick One:
    [ ]- A connection to the wilderness. Judging from the naturalized patterns on your robes. (Druid class)

    [ ]- Faith in a higher power. Not to mention that your style of dress seems highly ornamented and vaguely ecclesiastical. (Cleric Class)

    [ ]- An otherworldly assurance that a sort of duty of yours has not been yet completed. Your clothing seems well suited for travel. (Warlock Class)

    If we're gonna do the "squishy class" thing, then ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP. And I never liked the woods anyway. Just because I'm an elf. Why I ought to zap you for stereotyping me.
