Re: Kathy's Legend of Zelda CYOA
(A rather resounding vote. 1A 2B)
Link's muscles bunched up, she began to run towards the man fleeing, catching herself short and turning, about to run to the barn, and again stopping before she got anywhere...
If she caught the man fleeing, it would've only meant another fight, and who knew what kind of backup he could get by the time they reached the Gormon racetrack.
If she went to the barn, there was always a risk something was still in there. Even if Romani was long gone, who knew how many of those monsters were still dealing with the house and barn, they could've simply been preparing the milk for transport, or who knew what else, and without support, she'd only become another captive, then who would rescue Romani and the ranch?
Link backed away out of sight, dropping back against the far side of the ranch, against one of the cliff faces that bordered it. She truly was a failure this day...

Link woke up a short time later, barely having been aware she dozed off. Her muscles still ached and she was still a bit tired, but clearly having recovered enough to do more than simply sit on her ass when important things were going on all around her.
She rushed back through the field and collected her things that were lost during the fight, her already skimpy gray outfit donned again, this time the repairs so flimsy it left most of her breasts hanging out beneath the top, and her pussy was practically on display around the tatters of the loin cloth she'd created, but at least she was dressed again as she picked up her sword and looked around...
The bombers had arrived while she was out cold, and they were blushing darkly as they seemed to be delaying in front of Romani's home. Link rushed up to figure out what happened...
Immediately, eyes went to her ample breasts nearly bared again, before one of them began to speak. "Romani... is in bad shape. She was put under some kind of curse. It seems to have affected her." he delayed a bit. The boys seemed as if they'd been through a fight, and though they clearly came out of it okay, it didn't seem to be a victory.
"She ah... attacked us... when we tried to rescue her. She's been under whatever they did to her for so long, we're afraid she may not be able to break out of it... The Gormons are already gone, there were just a few monsters left... most of the milk supply is missing, and several cows were stolen... Romani was sobbing about something else, but we can't be sure what."
Link nodded and explained fast, the bombers' jaws dropping, unable to respond... they didn't think it could've gotten so bad so fast. The heroine gave them orders to go as fast as possible to try to figure out where the deed had gotten to, hoping they could still reclaim it before it reached Clock Town and would be written into records.
The bombers nodded and turned to run off, only one of them stopping short and facing Link again, "oh... And... please don't go see her... we told her you were coming, and she us to make sure you didn't... uhm... see her."
Link was a bit taken aback, but gave a nod of understanding, if not acceptance, before the boys continued their run back towards Milk Road.
She messed up badly somehow. Romani was in worse shape than she could've imagined. The ranch was practically lost to them. And she was no closer to rescuing Cremia or the other girls. What made it all worse was knowing that the longer Romani was left under the curse, the worse it would've been. Even an hour or two may have made a big difference in saving the girl...

(Stats, same as before, but Link recovered from exhaustion and at 3/5 LS. Not going to bother copying it all down.)

Romani is in bad shape, having hit several GO markers during Link's delays. ... This will have consequences down the road.
Vote)
a) Link disregards what was said and goes to visit Romani, making sure she's okay.
b) Link heads out with the Bombers, refreshed, she realizes she must help save the ranch first.
c) Link gives up trying to help Romani ranch for now, turning her attention to trying to help the other farms and stopping the greater threat.
d) Link gives up helping the milk farms entirely, falling back to trying to help the Zora.
e) Other. (Travel elsewhere, do something else, etc. Player Choice. Same travel options as always.)
