[Don't treasureshame...
The first one he tries to pick up --the one that looks like the better weapon-- is too heavy. But the second one is a perfect fit, and Fox can lift it up with ease!]

[who's shaming!!
fox hefts it to feel its weight, and, seeming pleased, will uh. add it to his inventory?]
I shall return this later.

[If by adding it to your inventory you mean "carry it in your hand," yes... There's nothing as convenient as a magical inventory in this world.
But look! There's a scabbard that seems to fit that katana over there! You'll still have to carry it in your hand, but you won't risk getting hurt in the process. Small victories!]

[COOL BEANS I'LL TAKE THAT TOO
are there any other drawings in the pile, perhaps some by fox himself?]

[This heart approves of your decision to take this scabbard. Safety first.
Also, if Fox has ever given Sol a painting or drawing as a gift, it should be here!... Has he?]

[for the winter holidays, yes! and probably more recently, he gave sol the sketch he did of him.
is this room a dead end, btw? are there paths that lead anywhere else besides the exit?]

[Then those are definitely here, and being treasured in his room irl. He wouldn't hang up something with his own face on it because that would be embarrassing, but he would store it in a safe place!]
Also this room is not a dead end, there are three other tunnels connected to it-- if you look at the room from where the tunnel you came from, there's one behind the dragon, one to the left, and one to the right.]

[he'll put everything (except the katana) back where it was as tidily as he can, and then head to the room behind the dragon]
[You take a couple of steps inside the tunnel, and-- wait, you can hear voices coming from there.]
"Ahh, it's been so long since the last time I had roasted Ium..."
"Too long! I'm hungry!"
"Hah. I'm the same. But-- that ends tonight."
[The three owners of the voices are getting closer. You can see the faint glow of a lantern starting to illuminate the tunnel... What do you do?]

[These gruff voices don't sound familiar! But since he's paying close attention to that, he may be able to notice something else: some of those steps are... very, very heavy.]
[do you have trolls in your heart, sol
fox will look around the wide area for a place to crouch behind--one of those crystal clusters, perhaps?]

[nO he just enjoys friendly banter!! :'(
You can hide behind that, yes! And soon you'll see... monsters that ARE NOT TROLLS. There's three of them, and one is much bigger than the others. Their hunched frames are stout and stocky, with abnormally long arms and gleaming claws. If you know goblins-- these are goblins.]
“...But by the time we get there, there’ll be nothing left.”
“You can keep the tree carver for yourselves. I'll take my chances at the village.”
"Whoa, thank you boss."
[They seem to be headed in the direction Fox first came from, and don't notice him at all.]

[fox will stay quietly crouched behind the cluster, watching them. he does not want to alert them to his presence]
[They don't seem to be very cautious. Very soon, they're gone! Fox can hear their steps move away from this room until they can't be heard anymore.
(Goblins don't have to roll not to slip and fall on the ice, it's one of their few perks.)]

[LUCKY GOBLINS. once they're out of sight, he'll head into the cave they came out of]
[You take a couple of steps into the tun--- no, wait. Are those steps?? Those are definitely steps. But at least they sound like they belong to only one person. Or monster.
They are getting closer fast. They seem to be in a hurry...!]

[The goblin is SO CONCERNED ABOUT BEING LATE that he doesn't see Fox until it's... too late-- it was running very fast and now tries to stop himself from crashing into him and slips up and falls, apparently this goblin is not very good at being a goblin.]
[You have the chance for a first strike!]

[You have the chance for a first strike!]
[fox unsheathes his sword and takes a quick slash at the goblin! going for the jugular!!!!]
| Being in a clearly disadvantageous position, the goblin realizes that its best bet is a partial dodge! It reaches back for its dagger, and that movement actually helps-- its luck is at an all-time high, apparently. Fox's katana grazes the goblin's shoulder, and the goblin uses this chance to push itself forward with all its might and slash at Fox's arm. It does little more than graze it, but it does draw blood. Even the goblin looks surprised that this worked... Your life goes down by 100 points. |
[THAT COULD HAVE GONE BETTER.
but hopefully it gives fox an opening to do a quick retaliating slash? yes?]

| Fox's retaliating attack catches the goblin right when it's bending forward to get up-- and now, Fox does slash its neck with ease. It's a critical hit! I'm sorry about your clothes and the floor. Still, this is not the real world. The goblin's life may be decreasing quickly, but it is still alive, and hasn't given up!... Not that it can do much at this point. It brings one hand up to its throat, waving its dagger at Fox with a snarl as if to keep him away. |
If you will not surrender, I shall show no mercy!
[going for a jab right at the neck where the previous wound was, aiming to either sever the head cleanly or for the blade to go through]

| The goblin's head is severed so cleanly and swiftly that it stays exactly where it was for a second, and then gross things happen and it slides to the side. Both the body and the head fall down, making a mess on ice even as they dissolve into particles of light. Your clothes are still bloodied but this is definitely your win! |
[No congratulatory messages appear. If you want to check your stats, you'll have to do it yourself!]
