“I could get along with these people” thought Kat to herself as Gronk the barbarian laid waste to the last of the goblins, ending his rage. She looked over the notes from the fight, wondering if she should heal Freddy with a spell or let him drink a potion. “mind If I smoke?” asked Jason, the face behind Gronk. I shook my head, this was my first time with this group so I appreciated him asking.<br/>I was debating in my head if I should open a soda now or save it for later, it was still decently early in the session so it might be better to wait. That was my last thought before a loud explosion and then blackness.<br/><br/>“UWAAaa!” I wake up screaming, flailing around myself wildly I try to get my bearings.<br/><br/>I realize I’m lying on the ground, looking up into the sky. There are sounds of birds!? Where am I!? I was in a classroom in the middle of the night just moments ago playing Pathfinder! How can it be the middle of the day somewhere outside! I try standing up, which is extremely easy, heck it felt like I could just jump to my legs directly from the ground. “that’s weird…” I’m not the most heavy set person or the least athletic but I definitely never felt like my movements were so easy. I look at my arms and body, discovering that I’ve somehow lost at least 20 kg! Furthermore I’m wearing leather armor over a simple green and white cloth outfit.<br/><br/>I stand for a few moments, frozen in place, looking at myself. Giving myself a quick pad down there can be no question, I’m Ana, my character from the game. I’ve drawn her enough times to recognize her outfit and shape.<br/><br/>I take a deep breath, trying to make sense of the situation, am I dead? Did I have a total mental breakdown? Wait… where am I even. For the first time I examine my surroundings, I’m standing on a mountain-trail halfway up a natural path which leads up towards a large mountain. I’ve never seen a mountain this large before, where I’m from everything is flat and boring, the landscape around here seems so lush and grandiose, very Lord of the Rings.<br/><br/>That’s right, we were on a quest to retrieve a lost locket which had been stolen by goblins. We were just about to head into the goblin infested mountain when it happened, could this be that scenario? But then where in the world is my group!  A healer/rogue isn’t the worst one person group but still! We had a good party composition and my spells are WAY off for a soloquesting!<br/><br/>Spells… that’s right… Ana has spells! So if I’m Ana… that means I should have spells too! Ok… I close my eyes and fists and concentrate, taking a deep breath I bring a palm forward “shield!” I proclaim confidently. Nothing happens…<br/><br/>Well… it’s to be expected… the characters don’t just say their spell names out loud to cast… Does that mean I was transported into a dream scenario with a useless class!? That’s just cruel! I want a doover! Hand me a new character sheet I’ll go full rogue! Ugh…<br/><br/>Rogue though… I draw one of the many knives, scattered around my person, in the real world this amount of knives would make you a basket case but in fantasy it seems appropriate. I examine the blade in my hand, looks sharp but… I don’t know what else I can say about a knife… I don’t really know anything about knives!<br/><br/><dl class="codebox"><dt>skill rolls | <a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="var spoiler = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('dd')[0]; if ( spoiler.style.display == 'none' ) { spoiler.style.display = 'block'; this.innerHTML = '-'; } else { spoiler.style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '+'; };">+</a></dt><dd style="display: none;">[appraisal – mild success] [Kn: Local - mild success]</dd></dl><br/>This common knife is Halfling made, as can be seen by the leather grip which comfortably fits into a human hand, and is slightly warm to the touch because of the Halfling make. It was made as part of a set of common knives for a human (me) in the city of Burough. It’s market price is 2 gold pieces, 3 in areas where Halfling leathercrafting is appreciated and rare.<br/><br/>Wow… that’s pretty intense… right… skills, that’s really weird. Did I see the words for the skills flash up? Is this a game!? Did I become a vegetable and they decided to hook me up to some new flashy VR thing? Am I literally a brain in a vat now? Have I been in a coma for years!?<br/><br/>My train of thought is interrupted by the sound of a man screaming, followed by maniacal laughter. It was coming from the inside of the mountain! Something was happening in there, sounded like someone was in danger!<br/><br/>I rushed inside the wide opening in the mountain and looked inside. Three goblins had surrounded a man, they were slashing at him with knives and laughing and screaming as he desperately tried to defend himself to little avail.<br/><br/><dl class="codebox"><dt>skill roll | <a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="var spoiler = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('dd')[0]; if ( spoiler.style.display == 'none' ) { spoiler.style.display = 'block'; this.innerHTML = '-'; } else { spoiler.style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '+'; };">+</a></dt><dd style="display: none;">[kn local – partial success]</dd></dl>goblins are small sized green humanoids. They are commonly believed to be as intelligent as 5 year old humans but as sadistic and ruthless as the worst scum of the earth. Goblins almost completely lack empathy and are ruled by their emotions. They are like the most nasty children, but with knives and fire.<br/><br/>I looked as they cut into his side and blood started spilling and before I knew it I had thrown the dagger I was holding. It felt completely natural, as though I’d made the motion a million times.<dl class="codebox"><dt>skill | <a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="var spoiler = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('dd')[0]; if ( spoiler.style.display == 'none' ) { spoiler.style.display = 'block'; this.innerHTML = '-'; } else { spoiler.style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '+'; };">+</a></dt><dd style="display: none;">[Sneak Attack]</dd></dl>The knife pierced directly through the back of the goblins skull, killing it instantly.<br/><br/>I let out a triumphant HAH! I’d never felt so awesome before!<br/>The two remaining goblins immediately turned around, the joy gone from their eyes, now replaced with an intense hatred and bloodlust.<br/>“Oh crap…” I said, as the vile creatures started rushing towards me.
