RPG Time! (6) (Patreon)

You're a fickle fellow and after the initial excitement of the treasure map begins to wears off you quickly lose your motivation for a treasure hunt. Perhaps you'll feel like it later, but for now your heart is really set on visiting the HAUNTED WOOD.

As you set off along the road, your heart is light and your steps are... sticky. Although it's a warm sunny day, the pervious nights rain has left the road a muddy mess. You try to stick to the shoulder but it's no use. It's not long before your feet are heavy with thick mud, making your progress slow and putting a bit of a damper on your adventurous spirit, quickly becoming rather tedious.

A little further on you come across a rather large and scruffy looking fellow trying to pry his small horse drawn cart from the mud where it has become mired. He shoots you a haggard look as you approach but says nothing and returns to his struggling.

Sucks to be him you think, but then you find yourself feeling a little guilty just passing by. A moral dilemma presents itself to you. What you really want to do is just keep going. Why make this guys problems your own? You've got places to be! Anyway, he doesn't look like the savoriest of characters.

On the other hand, you feel kind of like a jerk just leaving him there to fate. So what are you going to do? HELP the guy out, or KEEP GOING on your way to adventure?
