You were a black dragon, a terror that haunted the dreams of mortals, your presence alone enough to drive entire regions to despair. The adventurers who dared invade your lair were no match for your might. Their swords clanged harmlessly off your scales, and their magic fizzled like raindrops against a roaring fire. One by one, you dispatched them, your strength undeniable even as their blows left painful scars across your body. The last one, the leader, lay at your feet, gasping his final breath. His defiance burned brighter than his life force. "You will pay for all those girls you kidnapped," he rasped, blood trickling from his lips. "If not in this life, then the next!" You sneered, the sound like distant thunder. "Your curses are as pitiful as your swordsmanship." With a swift, merciless strike, you silenced him, his body falling limp in a pool of crimson. Turning, you prepared to bask in your victory and indulge in the spoils of your conquest—the captives you’d taken, trembling in the shadows. But before you could take a step, a blinding light illuminated the cavern, its radiance cutting through the darkness. From the golden glow emerged the avatar of the elf goddess. Her form was ethereal, her silver hair flowing as if caught in a divine breeze, and her emerald eyes burned with righteous fury. You let out a growl, the deep rumble echoing off the cavern walls. "What do you want?" you demanded, your voice weary yet laced with venom. "I’ve had enough interruptions for one day." "Return the girls, dragon," she commanded, her tone unyielding, "or I will see to it that you are punished." A low chuckle escaped your maw. "You’re not supposed to meddle in mortal affairs, goddess. Stick to your forests and let me enjoy my spoils. The god of dragons will hear of this interference." For a moment, the goddess hesitated, doubt flickering in her eyes. But her resolve solidified, her voice ringing out like a blade striking steel. "Your atrocities cannot go unanswered. You will know the suffering you’ve inflicted." "Wait," you began, raising a claw, "perhaps we can—" But the goddess’s spell was already upon you. Pain seared through your body, and a blinding flash consumed your senses. When it cleared, the cool breeze of the forest replaced the stifling heat of your lair. You opened your eyes, disoriented, and found yourself lying on the forest floor, naked and vulnerable. Gone were your scales and wings, your towering form and fiery breath. You looked down in disbelief, seeing soft, pale skin and human hands. Rage and panic surged through you. The god of dragons will hear of this, you vowed silently. But first, you had to survive. The forest around you teemed with unfamiliar sounds, and every rustle in the underbrush felt like a potential threat. Your new form was weak, fragile, and unprotected.
>>6165751> Hide and Recover: You immediately seek cover in the dense forest, hiding among the trees and underbrush. Your new, frail human body is vulnerable, and you need to regain your strength. You’ll wait until nightfall to search for food, water, and shelter.> Find a Nearby Settlement: You cautiously make your way toward the nearest village or town, hoping to blend in as a lost and helpless wanderer. You’ll need to gain the trust of the locals to secure food, clothing, and a place to rest, all while keeping your true nature hidden.> Find Someone To Steal Supplies From: Survival takes priority, and you can’t afford to wait for help. You find a nearby merchant caravan or village and plan to steal whatever you can—food, clothes, and anything else that will aid your survival. The risk is high, but you can’t remain exposed for long.> Seek Out a Healer or Magic User: With the lingering effects of the curse still raw, you set your sights on finding someone who can offer medical help or magical assistance. There may be a healer or mage nearby who can help ease your suffering and offer you the chance to regain control over your new body.> Climb to Higher Ground: Realizing the danger of remaining at ground level, you search for higher ground—perhaps a hill or a tree where you can survey the surrounding area. From there, you can get a better sense of your surroundings, spot potential threats, and plan your next move while staying out of immediate danger.> Look for a Weapon: You can’t rely on your draconic strength in this fragile form, but there may be weapons nearby. You begin searching for any knives, axes, or even a staff that could serve as a means of defense while you figure out how to navigate this new, vulnerable existence.> Write in

>>6165762>>6165763>>6165768You decide the best course of action is to climb to higher ground. Your new, fragile form may be vulnerable, but from a vantage point, you can better assess your surroundings and plan your next move. With a deep breath, you begin your ascent, finding purchase on the rough bark of a tree or the jagged rocks of a nearby hill. The forest below looks vast and untamed, but you spot a few distant smoke plumes rising from what could be a village. The wind rustles the leaves around you, and for a moment, you let the cool air steady your nerves. From this higher vantage point, you feel a semblance of control. You can see the movements of potential threats—animals, travelers, or even patrolling guards—and stay one step ahead. As you scan the horizon, the reality of your new form sinks in. There’s no immediate danger in sight, but your next steps will be crucial. You can’t stay here forever, exposed to the elements. What will you do next? > Head Toward the Smoke: You decide to investigate the smoke, hoping it leads to a settlement where you can find shelter and resources. > Wait and Observe: You stay hidden in your elevated position, watching for any signs of movement that could indicate danger or a potential opportunity. > Descend and Search for Food: Now that you have a better sense of the area, you venture down to search for food or water, hoping to find something to sustain you. > Look for a Weapon: You spot signs of human activity nearby—discarded tools or weapons.

>>6165924>>6165935>>6165986>>6166176The thrill of the hunt awakens something primal within you, and despite your unfamiliar, frail form, your instincts serve you well. After a tense stalk through the forest, you catch a rabbit in your bare hands. Its frantic struggle ends quickly as you dispatch it with ruthless efficiency, blood staining your trembling fingers. For a fleeting moment, pride swells within you—proof that you are still a predator, even in this cursed body.But as the adrenaline fades, the practicalities of survival intrude. Humans don’t eat raw meat, you recall, their delicate stomachs unsuited to the wild diet you once consumed with ease. To make this kill edible, you’ll need fire—a task that seems frustratingly complex in your current state.You kneel by the rabbit, the earthy scent of its blood mingling with the forest air, and consider your options.What will you do next?> Search for Flint and Tinder: You remember stories of mortals using simple tools to spark flames. You begin combing the forest floor for flint or any rocks that might create a spark, as well as dry kindling to feed the flame.> Create a Fire the Hard Way: Using sticks and friction, you attempt to make fire the way ancient humans might have—though it’s a slow, arduous process, and your frustration grows with every failed attempt.> Seek Out a Campfire: Smoke in the distance hints at the presence of other humans. You decide to investigate, hoping to find an already-lit fire you can use. You’ll need to approach carefully to avoid drawing unwanted attention.> Eat It Raw Anyway: Your hunger gnaws at you, and you decide to risk it. Even if humans are fragile, you convince yourself you can stomach raw meat just this once. After all, you’re still a dragon at heart.> Abandon the Rabbit and Look for Edible Plants: Frustrated by the complications of cooking, you leave the rabbit behind and search for berries, fruits, or other vegetation to stave off your hunger.> Use Magic (if Possible): You focus, searching for any lingering traces of your draconic power. Perhaps you can summon the faintest spark of flame to light a fire. It’s a gamble, but one worth taking.> Write in

>>6167871 WitnessedThe forest stretches endlessly as you search for flint and tinder, your eyes scanning the ground and surrounding foliage for anything that might serve your purpose. The wilderness is alive with the sounds of chirping birds and the rustling of leaves in the breeze, but it’s the faint glint of something unnatural amidst the underbrush that catches your attention. As you draw closer, the shape resolves itself into the remains of a long-deceased traveler. The body lies crumpled against a moss-covered boulder, the skeleton wrapped in the tattered remnants of clothing that have largely succumbed to the elements. The air carries a faint, musty odor of decay, muted by the passage of time. While the rotted garments offer nothing of use, your eyes fall upon a weathered leather backpack, miraculously better preserved than the rest of the corpse’s belongings. Carefully, you untangle the bag from the brittle remains, the leather creaking faintly under your touch. You set it down and begin to inspect its contents. Inside, you discover a set of flint and steel, precisely what you were searching for, along with a copper dagger in a sheathed scabbard. Despite its age, the blade gleams faintly, its edge seemingly maintained by the protective cover. Further exploration yields a small pouch containing a modest sum of silver coins, their surfaces tarnished but still recognizable as currency. At the bottom of the bag lies a wool blanket—or what remains of it. Time and vermin have not been kind to the fabric; it’s frayed and riddled with holes, its once-soft fibers hardened by exposure and stained with the unmistakable scent of rodents that made it their home. You step back, considering your findings. Though grim, this discovery could mean the difference between survival and succumbing to the wilderness. > Wash the Blanket: Despite its state, the blanket could still provide some warmth if cleaned. If you can find water to wash away the grime and stench, you could make it usable again. > Take Everything and Move On: Time is precious. You gather the flint, steel, dagger, coins, and even the ragged blanket without hesitation, intending to put each item to use later as needed. > Inspect the Corpse for Clues: The traveler’s demise intrigues you. Could this be a warning about dangers nearby? You examine the body and surroundings for any signs of what might have caused their death—be it natural, animal, or something more sinister. > Bury the Corpse: A strange sense of obligation compels you to give this unfortunate soul a proper resting place. Though time-consuming and physically demanding in your current state, you see it as an act that might curry favor with the gods. > Use the Dagger to Cut Up the Blanket: You realize the blanket in its current state isn’t useful as a whole. Instead, you decide to use the copper dagger to cut it into strips that could serve as makeshift bandages or kindling for a fire. > Write in
