Sir Gawain & The Green Knight

The king and queen look at you their faces unsure "What do you have to say to me." "Come now, speak loud and pure." [[I do not deserve this honor.]] [[Thank you uncle you Honor me]]

You stand up and leave you beg the king to leave you be then make your way out of the castle and flee [[go home]]

The king looks at you to say "you honor me, nephew." "on this good Christmas day." the king stands up and looks at the crowd "Valient knights, my wife grows weary." "Does anyone have a song, a tale, or query" [[ listen to Sir Lancelots song]] [[ listen to sir Percivals tale]] [[ listen to Sir Galahads query]]

You arrive at your castle estate your mother is there to berate the Kings sister Morgan le fay unto you has something to say [[listen to Mother]]

Sir Lancelot stands up and addresses the crowd. "the song I sing shall make you bow." The crowd gathers. Ready to be wowed so he begins singing strongly and proud "in the trees." "across the meadow." "There is life." "so calm and yellow." "in the fields." "the barley grows." "It glistens and gleams." "like dragon stone." [["throu..]]

Young Sir Percival was brave and strong so he spoke to the crowd who began to yawn he said "my friends, my friends do not despair." "I have a glorious tale I do declare" "In the year 1276." "I came across what I thought was a ditch." "but to my shock and Woah." "I was startled to see the cave below." "I heard a whisper in my ear." "telling me to come down "I am here," "feeling the fear throughout my bones." "I gathered my courage and headed below." [["whe.."]]

Sir Galahad approached his wears were esteemed beyond reproach and so he gave unto the crowd the mighty query that was strong and sound "a Box without hinges" "key or lid" "yet Golden treasure." "inside is hid." "the answer?" You hear answers left and right yet none seem to be very bright [[ say an egg ]] [[ say the sun ]]

you turn to your mother with sad eyes she sees the pain you feel inside she tells you to sit on the bench and now you wonder what will come next she says to you something that you will never forget "my son, my son, we all do things we sometimes regret." "but that doesn't mean we can't repent." "Just because you failed yourself this day." "doesn't mean the others won't be fully gay." you look at your mother in disbelief wondering why she would ever help with your grief nonetheless, you feel the emotions rise until the tears burst from your eyes you hug your mother as tightly as you can knowing she has given you a plan THE END

Immediately the front Gates burst open and all looked around to see the commotion In walked a huge man who was draped in green from his head to where he stand the strange figure carried an axe in one hand and it glistened green like shimmering emeralds from a dream in the other, he had a mistletoe plant but everyone knew why he carried that The king looked at his knights and then turned to his wife and the turned to the man asking "what brings you here tonight?" The man answered "I am the green Knight." "and I bring a game unto all of you this night." "whoever be the bravest of the knights." "come down and strike me with all your might." "but do not take this challenge lightly." "for in a year hence I shall smite the" "with the same blow you give to me." "who be the worthiest knight that I see?" The King then reached for his sword but was too old to lift it from the floor [[ step in for your king ]]

Sir Galahad looks unto you and says "well done, Young Gawain." "that is true." Immediately the front Gates burst open and all looked around to see the commotion In walked a huge man who was draped in green from his head to where he stand the strange figure carried an axe in one hand and it glistened green like shimmering emeralds from a dream in the other, he had a mistletoe plant but everyone knew why he carried that The king looked at his knights and then turned to his wife and the turned to the man asking "what brings you here tonight?" The man answered "I am the green Knight." "and I bring a game unto all of you this night." "whoever be the bravest of the knights." "come down and strike me with all your might." "but do not take this challenge lightly." "for in a year hence I shall smite the" "with the same blow you give to me." "who be the worthiest knight that I see?" The King then reached for his sword but was too old to lift it from the floor [[ step in for your king ]]

You grab the sword and lift it from the floor so you can relieve the king of the trouble at his door [[ ask the green knight a question ]] [[ ready the kings sword excaliber ]]

Sir Galahad looks unto you and says "I'm sorry Young Gawain" "but that isn't true" Immediately the front Gates burst open and all looked around to see the commotion In walked a huge man who was draped in green from his head to where he stand the strange figure carried an axe in one hand and it glistened green like shimmering emeralds from a dream in the other, he had a mistletoe plant but everyone knew why he carried that The king looked at his knights and then turned to his wife and the turned to the man asking "what brings you here tonight?" The man answered "I am the green Knight." "and I bring a game unto all of you this night." "whoever be the bravest of the knights." "come down and strike me with all your might." "but do not take this challenge lightly." "for in a year hence I shall smite the" "with the same blow you give to me." "who be the worthiest knight that I see?" The King then reached for his sword but was too old to lift it from the floor [[ step in for your king ]]

You look at the green knight and ask "why do you want a challenge this bad" The green knight looks at you and says the victor of this "game" shall be glad." the green knight bends his head down showing you his neck so exposed and left out [[ strike his neck ]]

You hold the Excaliber sword of the king then grab it with both hands for it is big the green knight bends over, showing his neck you believe this is something he will regret you ask why he will not fight he simply does not want a strife knowing he will not repel your strike you swing with all your might the head of the green knight falls to the ground and not the king nor the knights make a sound you feel that the challenge is good and dead but the body rises as if leaving a bed the headless body of the Knight recounts where his fallen head hit the ground and as he picks up his head he says to all, "One year ahead." he mounts his horse’s saddle and runs through the town full of cackles knowing that in a year he will strike near your ear [[go to home]]

You swing the sword down unto his neck then turn around with a hint of regret but before you return the sword the headless body rises for more the crowd looks to the floor to see the eyes of the knight blink once more the body then picks up the head and say the words from his breath in one year hence we shall meet at the green chapel to complete this little game of which we speak the green knight then mounts his steed and begins to cackle all through the street as he moves further away you remember of the promise made this day [[go to home]]

Your mother, the mistress Morgan le Fay is waiting outside the castle bay she asks how the party went and who attended the event [[tell your mother about the Green Knight]] [[indulge your mother about the party]]

You tell your mother what went wrong and how the green knight had come and how you chopped off his head only for him to grab it again your mother looks at you in shock she can't believe what has been brought a deadly challenge it seems but one that her son must redeem she tells you to prepare for a year, sometimes moves quicker than air [[ One year later ]]

You tell your mother of the festivities but leave out all of the indignities she smiles and gives you a hug but you remember all that was done [[ go to bed ]] [[ go to tavern ]]

A year passes, and you concentrate on the quest ahead that you hope goes great you are fitted with the best clothes and supplies and then begin to say your goodbyes the king is there with his wife along with all the other life they wish you luck on this valiant quest but you just hope someone would attest for you feel fear in your heart that this will be your final ark and as that fear begins to fade you notice you are moving farther away the quest has now truly begun you now follow the direction of the sun to the green chapel where the Knight awaits so you both may fulfill your [[fates]]

You go to your room tired from the day see your bed and inside yell hurray you get inside under your covers rest your head and begin to slumber you drift well into your dreams and then in the distance begin to see you and the green knight at the chapel both of you prepared for battle you look at them, wondering what you'll see but they both turn to you and speak "Be a knight who's proud and strong." "but be one who does no wrong." "whenever you are faced with a stranger." "be a kind, good savior." "if a deed you must complete." "Never ask for coin or meat." "if a damsel you encounter." "be a gentleman and offer a flower." "if you do not follow this creed." "then you shall be the one who's beat." "for when you are a knight of Camelot." "you are expected to do as you were taught." [[ One year later ]]

You enter the tavern and feel so grim so you ask the tavern owner whats in he replies with "Vodka, ale, and some gin." which one will be your bin [[ Vodka ]] [[ Ale ]] [[ Gin ]]

You gulp down the vodka. It tastes so bad it somewhat reminds you of your dad then in the distance, you see a tiny pixie fairy that seems like they’re on a killing spree [[ follow the fairy ]] [[ keep drinking ]]

You gulp down the Ale it tastes so bad it somewhat reminds you of your dad then in the distance, you see a tiny pixie fairy that’s flying high and free [[ follow the fairy ]] [[ keep drinking ]]

You gulp down the Gin it tastes so bad it somewhat reminds you of your dad then in the distance, you see a tiny pixie fairy that’s about to pee [[ follow the fairy ]] [[ keep drinking ]]

You follow the little fairy out of the tavern and into the prairie yet it isn't quite a prairie as you soon notice, your flesh is tearing you soon come to your senses and notice a bear is eating your intestines you scream in agony and pain and see that it begins to rain and as your eyes begin to shutter you can't help but wonder how things might have turned out if you had taken a different route YOU LOOSE TRY AGAIN

You keep drinking from this lovely pale and then you begin to regale to all the people at the tavern why you feel so fathomed but the people do not care so you decide to kill them there after that is good and done you begin to have some more fun you swing your sword at the tavern keeps head but fail to strike him dead he then pulls out a large silver axe cuts off your arm and leaves it at that and with your last and final gasp you say to all, "tis but a scratch." YOU LOOSE TRY AGAIN

The day goes on as the sun rises surely you will find him along a beaten path you walk but you dare not try to talk because where you pass on this day was the last for many others, I dare say your horse treks across a battlefield trying not to look at the corpses that are revealed but as soon as you come to the clearing there awaits a strange man with an earing he says his brother died on that field and wonders if you'll give some coin for a meal [[give the man your coin]] [[refuse to pay]]

you open your coin pouch and empty it out the stranger is grateful beyond a doubt he is kind enough to mention the green chapels direction so you thank him for his kindness and ride off in the name of your highness [[go to the Green Chapel]]

you tell the stranger you havent the coin or time and tell him to look for another find the man reminds you that you are a knight and that you must help him get food and rice you look at him to say "I don't have time perhaps another day" [[ride away]]

There once was a young knight named Gawain who was a knight of Camalot, hooray the king and queen adored him so he sat beside them this day [[say something]]

as you begin to move away you notice your horse is parched from the day so while riding through the forest trail you find a river with enough water for Gale but as you pet Gale's mane you notice the rattle of a chain [[duck]] [[pull out sword]]

you immedietelly duck his hit misses, what luck [[grab your sword]] [[kick him]]

you try to pull out your sword but the man comes toward he hits you on the head and now you lie dead YOU LOOSE TRY AGAIN

you then try to grab your sword from your steed not checking that he is attacking again with more speed he hits you in the back and knocks you on the ground then plunges a knife through your throat, not making a sound you wonder how this be after all who could slay thee as your blood spills to the ground you begin choking on it until you are drowned YOU LOOSE TRY AGAIN

you kick his butt to the ground if there had been a crowd they would have been wowed you finally pull out your sword letting him know who has scored he lunges at you in one desperate final attempt but you just plunge your sword through his privates to show your contempt as you mount your steed gale you whistle a tune that you regaled [[continue on your journey]]

as you continue on your quest you notice a small storm approaching from the west knowing gale hates to get wet you look for some shelter to hide your pet as you look far and wide you see a small hut able to keep you warm inside you enter the hut for it seems empty but that's not what happened evidentlly you find blood splatters on the floor only to look up at the ceiling and see more you are both shocked and intrigued by what happened here then you hear a small voice cry out from near [[hello]]

you notice the voice came from upstairs so you gather your courage and head on up there you arrive to meet a small young girl who lets you know that her head was hurled deep into the lake where noone would find it by a band of brigands, she summarized it she asks if you could retreive her head so she may feel at peace with being dead [[ask for a reward]] [[say of course my lady]]

you ask the girl what's in it for you she simply stares at you completly confused. "I thought a knight helps ladies in distress without asking for anything or making requests." You tell her "why should I do something for no reward" she simply looks at you in shock as her tears poured her tears then engulfed her like a caterpillar wrapped in its cacoon until she hardened into a large rocklike rune you simply read the words on it that say "Chivalry is dead" but at the same time morning has come and you leave the house in dread [[ride northwest]]

you say of course my lady what are knights for she then leads you out of the hut for more you arrive to the lake where she lost her head you tell her calmly do not dread as you dive into the mirky waters you notice that you have to deal with blackwater its waters are as black as night meaning you have no sight you try to locate the little girls missing head but without your vision the chances of finding it are a 1 out of 10 [[grab unkown item 1]] [[grab unkown item 2]]

you feel this item in the sand and to you it feels more like a hand TRY FEELING FOR SOMETHING ELSE

you get a good feeling of what you hold in your hand it feels like a skull thats hidden in the sand you swim up to the surface to find the girl only to relize a tree has taken root begun to twirl the tree has in it's trunk the words "thank you brave knight" as one of its branches points to a direction to take flight as the wind beckons your name you now know what to do [[go to the Green Chapel]]

as you ride far and wide you wonder when the chapel will fall in sight then to your suprise you see where a small castle lies you are very weary from this trip so you ask the owner of the estate if you may have a sip the man yells at you saying "my god its the legendary Sir Gawain himself" he continues on saying "come in and help yourself" your not entirly sure what to say but he brings you inside [[anyway]]

as you get ready and make your way to the table the man of the castle comes, he seems stable he itroduces himself as Bertilak which you didn't think was a name matter a fact he also introduces his lady who you find somewhat shady as the feast begins Bertilak notices you're somewhat grim he asks "What is wrong dear friend" to which you reply [["I must reach the green chapel by years end"]]

He begins to laugh out loud "my friend you should be proud" "the green chapel is not far" " about a mile or two from here, if you follow the star" "it seems your quest is at an end" "but you have time so stay my friend" [[accept the offer]]

later that night you and Bertilak sit by the fire talking about who is the old woman that lives in the spire Bertilak says "she's just a castle guest" to which you wonder but make no formal requests Bertilak then proposes a game to which you do not feel the same he explains how evreyday he goes out to hunt and offers whatever he brings to you, to be blunt he says there is only one condition that whatever you may gain in the castle is his acquisition reluctantly you accept the proposal and a new game begins without the first's disposal [[the next day]]

The next day starts off rather peaceful but the Lady bertilak's advances prove to be decitful she tries multiple times to pursuede you but you know this is not something you should do so as not to hurt her feelings you accept one kiss to complete your dealings when bertilak returns with a dead deer you exchange a kiss to his ear [[The day after]]

the second day Lady bertilak is felling even more greedy her eyes are full of lust as she looks at you all needy to silence her advances once again you allow her two kisses to attain when Bertilak returns with the carcuss of a boar you deliver two kisses that you previouslly wore Bertilak thanks you for the kisses and then goes to the missis [[The third day]]

The third day is no diffrent than the rest Lady Bertilak tries her best to seduce you onto her she wears nothing but fur and while she is completly nude to take advatage of somone is quite rude but she continues to insist this time biting her lips being ready to be kissed [[Take advantage of Lady Bertilak]] [[say no and leave]]

the lady and you go completly at it and the sex is very nice you must admit but before you continue any more you are thrown to the floor Bertilak is furious and maltempered so you head striaght for the door but as you make it to the door Bertilak asks "what did you do it for" to which you reply with no words feeling too ashamed, right to you core as continue to gather your belongings you mount onto Gale then ride fast to the chapel knowing you have failed the two of you arrive at the chapel but Gale throws you off becuase he wants an apple you yell at Gale for thinking of food and that's the moment Gale decides to leave you you try to run after your friend but realize where you venture to is but a dead end [[Enter the green chapel]]

you say you will allow this no longer seeing as her temptations grow stronger but as you make your way to the door she picks something up from the floor she asks you to take her ring which is gold and fit for a king but you refuse it all the same knowing if you take it you will take blame you head for the door but she offers something more a sash made of gold and green silk that she wore she says it has magic abilities such as protecting the wearer from any hostilities she says that while wearing this none can do you harm and you must admit, that has its charm for in a fortnight you may loose your head but if you wear this you will have nothing to dread she only asks that if you take the sash that you not be so brash that you must not tell unless you want to wind up in a cell [[take the sash]]

as you walk to the green chapel you can't help but think of apples the thoughts of apples turns to gold like the man you killed who wanted just a little to get out of the cold the thoughts then venture to the girl who's only request to rest in peace was completly hurled evreything you did misrepresented Arthur never has a knight fallen farther before you realize it you see the Green Knight sharpening his axe and know you have but one final act [[ask the green knight to kill you]]

The Green Knight readies his weapon and with your final words you beckon "I'm sorry" the Knight swings down and cuts off your head noone will mourn that you are dead THE END

you take the sash and keep it in a bag then head downstairs and try not to brag Bertilak returns with a live fox and then he starts his talks "I caught this little thing today what do you have to say" [[tell him about the sash]] [[keep quiet]]

you gather your courage and speak the truth that his wife gave you a sash but you have ruth for you should have never taken it to begin with and to be honest what she said about it you feel is a myth Bertilak thanks you for being a good guest then smiles saying "well done Sir Gawain you have passed the test" you look at him not sure what to do but he then gives you a clue he sheds his skin and his wears to show you his true flair he is none other than the green knight he green sjin shines well and bright you say "I don't understand" but he says "I will reveal what was planned" [[listen to the green knights explanation]]

you decide to keep quiet about what you know instead giving Bertilak three kisses as a show then he says that the game was fun but now it is time for you to run onto the green chapel so the quest is done he says you may come back anytime who knows perhaps he wants to rhyme [[Enter the green chapel]]

You make it to the end of your quest now having reached the chapel at your best you survived the perils that were thrown at you now there was only one thing left to do [[enter the green chapel]]

The "game" he spoke of was but a test created by your mother to see which knight was the best he explains further how you stumbled and failed but notes that you never bailed He continues "For to be human is to make mistakes and what you dealt with were true stakes" "Let this be a lesson to you young Gawain to always be kind to others again & again" he then vanishes into thin air, out of sight leaving nothing but his axe which he would've used to smite you take as a solid reminder that all people should be kinder THE END

you make your way down the worn down stairs and realize he does not take care of his wears but before you know it you walk right into him the Green knight who looks rather grim but his actions say otherwise as you see tears run down his eyes he then grabs an emerald sword and gives it to you as your reward he says "You truly are the greatest of kights" always doing right even in a fight" "and though you may have faltered your good soul remains unaltered" then two of you part ways as friends and that is where the story of Sir Gawain ends THE END
