I am rather aware of the various forking paths that each story can take. So some of you might have the same event happen to you. So I will keep the spoiler flag flying for those who don't wish to read more, stop now. Those of you who wish to throw caution to the wind will keep reading on anyways.

On Topic now:

After awaking from a quick nap, I felt like playing some Sylestia, playing with my pets and what not. I had started the Gardens area of Umbra Forest, after I fought a wave or two of undead hordes, I came to a choice. Evidently I had came to a river, where I could try cross a rickety old bridge, or find another way across. Jinxie said she could cross so I figured me and my little crew of pets should be ok. Then it talked about an Elven warrior, and I thought, "I didn't know people we're following me, someones gunna die." Then it went on saying the first soldier tested the bridge amd began to cross, and then a second.

After they had gotten halfway across the bridge gave out under the wieght of the second Elven soldier. I have unfortunately a bad memory when it comes to names. The Elf who did fall in the river was named, but alas I knew he was dead before he hit the water. So he then became known as "Redshirt" to me. Well evidently my Sylesi Regal tried to save him. I even thought he might have done it, but alas that wasn't the fate of Ol' Redshirt. I even imagined the scene as it all happened. I almost feel bad too.

I write this in loving memory of Redshirts everywhere, and Nat. ones!

Good luck my fellow adventurers!

@Xolner

Just for completeness - and yes the spoiler flag applies here too.... so if you don't want the story spoiled then don't read.

The other path choice also holds a danger for the Elven Guards... but none die, one just has to limp the rest of the way due to a hunter's metal toothed trap.

Just be glad that the tradition of Redshirts is still alive - they take the dangerous falls so you don't have to.

A trekkie, are you?

@Tom

You could say that.

'Ol Red Shirt died on me too. DX Manna couldn't save him....:'( And then another Elven gaurd had his foot severed off and by the end of it I was like, "D: Noooo, I killed a bagillion gaaaaaaauuuuurrrrdddds!" And my brother was like, "It's a game, only two pixle peaple are injured/dead, GET OVER IT." XD
