You look down and see your physique, somehow flabby on a diet of bread and porridge, has been muscled like you’ve been exercising and dieting well for years. You throw a punch with reflexive precision and force and know that you could sidestep or parry one just like it. Your combat skills aren’t at all superhuman but compared to your previous self, you’re a demigod in the flesh. You stop thinking about your memories and look around. You’re in a small, dilapidated log cabin. Deep inside, there’s a gut feeling that’s pointing in a specific direction, six of them, in fact, and you can sense they’re each one of your targets. Wait, only five of them are, the sixth and nearest is the man who knocked you unconscious and stole your belongings.
Speaking of, you look and see your diary, knife, and all 28 copper coins neatly stacked on the table. You take them back immediately. Your rags are loose on your new frame but that doesn’t matter, you’re used to clothes not fitting. You think. There are six targets but you can only sense five. That means the sixth, a pious shrine keeper, you sense, is hidden and you’ll have to find them manually. That’s going to be a bitch. You wonder about the other thing you asked for, the flames, and snap your fingers. A spark the same color as the dark in your torment flickers. You focus and it turns into a floating pile of embers. This has vast destructive potential but you know the pain it inflicts is worse than the burns. You think for a second. Your gut tells you there’s three days left on the trinket giver’s time limit. You have no way of knowing that, so the Black Goat must’ve told you as a courtesy. That means since the town is two days south, you’ll need to get moving soon. What's past is past. You need to look to what happens next.
>What do?>Forget the trinket. You want to get started on the Black Goat’s kill list.>Hunt the trinket. You want a rematch and get moving right away.>Search the cabin. It’ll take around an hour to pry the floorboards.
