Drabble STORY ARC #2: Seek and Avenge

Orcs and Close Combat

Part of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition.

This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. You can check out Chapter 1 of this story: The Burned Village. Find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here, or check the previous chapter: ‘The Mysterious Warrior’, by JF Danskin.

Leaving the human warrior to your companions, you shoot at one of the orcs. Your arrow hits home.

The second orc abandons Polki, then charges. Soon you’re wrestling and punching. The fight takes you to the far edge of the plateau, where you behead your opponent.

Standing, you see a ladder to a cave — the main base. A gigantic orc guard approaches. You fight, leaving your companions behind.

Deep in the caves you slay the latest foe, then see, to your surprise, the orc base is entirely empty. The horde have marched.

Many footsteps lead away towards a mineshaft nearby…

You then decide to…

  1. Make your way down the mineshaft (click here).
  2. Head into the forest and take a nap before your next move (click here).
