CYOA: League of Legends Edition!

All of those are pretty sound ideas, actually. I might do the Ionian suggestion -- more options, that way.

Check back for an update on the start of our adventure!

((Of course, questions, concerns and critique is appreciated. Try not to be too harsh though, because I want this to be a fun place, not a "you're doing it wrong" place. Also let me know if any of you are terrified of bugs and I'll avoid anything creepy. But with the nature of the place, it all depends on what you pick.))

The first thing you feel is a cold sweeping across your prone figure, chills spiking up your spine and you don't know why. When you open your eyes, the first thing you see are the blurred, shadowed backdrop of skeleton trees and mists of every height. The first thing you taste also smells vile, and you immediately lurch up, spitting out wet dirt and bits of damp leaves. You swear you can see the tip of a wriggling tail of a creepy crawly. You shudder as you pull yourself from the mud. Looking around, you wrack your brain for clues as to where you are currently.

The last thing you remember traversing Conqueror's Sea with your fellow Ionians and people from all walks of life hankering for an adventure beyond Valoran before getting caught in a horrendous storm. Somehow, you know where you are, but you shake your head. Surely the waves couldn't have been this cruel. But determined to take the life that has been offered, you wipe the grime from your eyes as best as you can before you take a good look around.

Behind you, the sea remains calm, innocently staring back at you as if it hadn't done anything wrong. But you can see strange lights beneath its surface, and a glimmer of a dark fin once in a while, the shape of a distorted face staring up at you. Wading into the sea is not an option, you feel.

To your left, you can see a clump of trees almost hugging each other to death. Beyond that, the mist seems thinner.

To your right, you can see a small pool and on closer inspection, it looks relatively unoccupied. Whether or not it was clean remained to be tested.

Straight ahead, is a sort of road bare of trees; almost as if it had been carved out especially for a lone traveler, for the winding path was very narrow but distinct.

Options:

A) Head towards the thinning mist.
B) Follow the road most taken.
C) Clean yourself in the pool.

A or B?

You decide that attempting to try anything out of the ordinary is unnecessary, and so with your dark hair sticking to your forehead and your clothes latching themselves to your skin, you push forward. The path itself is bare, as if scraped into the ground by some sort of shovel or rake. The trees around you are eerily still, and whilst the lack of sound and life both comforts and unnerves you, you cannot help but glance around every few moments. You clench your fists, the sound almost palpable through heavy silence. But every once in a while, you can see the flash of sickly yellow orbs staring at you through the bulk of foliage.

You shudder as you turn your eyes back to the path ahead. The thick mist that winds around your torso threatens to constrict you, the fog around your ankles attempting to trip you up. You shake your head violently, knowing that it was just a trick of the mind. You try to think of other things, such as potential weapons and what you'll need to do to get out. You are so engrossed in your thoughts that you do not realize that pathway has lead you to a place that seemed rather strange for the Shadow Isles.

In front of you, there seems to be a shallow swamp with a broken down shack situated in the middle, much like a lonely island. It seems to be abandoned, and you can detect no movement from it though you glimpse flickers of light from the grime covered windows.

If you look further, there appears to be an even thinner path that winds through deeper swamp waters where the pieces of land look less than solid. You could go through the swamp to take a shortcut and avoid the shack. Or you could walk around the entire piece of land, but that would mean diverging into the forest unarmed.

At the same time, you could go back and try something else.

Options:

A) Investigate the shack.
B) Head through the swamp.
C) Walk through the forest and around the swamp.
D) Go back.

If you choose D, pick another option with it:

A) Head towards the thinning mist.
B) Check for supplies or signs of the shipwreck.
C) Decide you want that bath after all.
