What the player can raise (2)

The game offers every topic whose requirement is met, in the order it prefers them.

  • *Inspect the rope.*

    The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:

    If False

    *The rope is vibrant and new, but not of high quality. Any blade or heat should be able to cleve it fairly easily.*

    Only when the player carries

    • [Free {yanaki}] *Sever the rope.*

      *You take the rope and begin to cut it with the blade of your [bladedWeapon] until it begins to creak, fray and finally seperate.*

      The conversation ends

      If false

      The conversation ends

    • [Free {yanaki}] *Chop the rope in two.*

      *You lift the [axe] back behind your dominant shoulder, so much so, you feel the muscle in your neck, arms, and shoulders clench and strain. Then with a mighty release of force, you bring the axe down on a taught section of rope, cleaving the rope in two pieces.*

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • *Attempt to burn the rope with elemental magic.*

      Requires a High check of Elemental Magic

      *You focus your {mana} to generate a very precise amount of heat, searing and weakening the thick rope until finally, a brittle, ashen section of rope crumbles to the field beneath you, freeing the Yanaki.*

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • *Try to snap the rope in half with your bare hands.*

      Requires a Medium check of Strength

      *You grab the rope with two great hands, twisting and ripping at the braided material. The rope starts to get a significant fray. Your knuckles turn white with tension, your hands give one last great tug in polar directions, and with a SNAP, you have freed the {yankaki} from its bondage.*

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • [Free {yanaki}] *Untie the knot.*

      *You use your superior knowledge of knots and ligatures to unfasten the bowline knot from around the {yanaki's} neck.*

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • [Do nothing] *Leave Yanaki and the rope be.*

      *The {yanaki} calmly regards you as you back away from the rope.*

      The conversation ends

    If True

    I would ask you to leave that alone, {kamera}.

    The conversation ends

  • [Do Nothing] *Walk away.*

    The graph connects this choice to nothing, so the conversation stops here.
