    I don’t know what a ‘perk’ is, and the dervish is pretty much the definition of MAD... so I think, maybe I’d better not get to crazy with stuff...

    Ashleigh looks at the prompt.

    Then again... I get ability score increases at each level... if the description of my race was true...

    What the hell? I still have a minor boon left for ability scores, right?

    The sound of clattering dice fills your ears.

    You find yourself in a stone room, which has all the hallmarks of an ancient ruin from the game. The room is approximately 20 feet by 20 feet.

    A shallow pool is carved into the floor near the center of the room which is filled with crystal clear water. A faint glow coming from the water is the only source of light in the room itself, leaving the room quite dim if not for the sunlight peeking through a crack in the wall and landing directly on your face.

    You believe that you could squeeze through the crack easily enough, which is a relief, as you see no other way out of the room.

    As you start to climb into the crack, you notice a flash of white as the sun glints off of a small obelisk. It is approximately 6 inches tall and appears to be made of polished ivory. A diamond is set in one face of it.

    You feel strangly drawn to touch the obelisk...

    You feel a pressure in your chest as your soul is bound to the obelisk, and the obelisk now sports a single point of light glowing dimly. You assume this represents your bond.

    Standing in the stone room now gives you a sense of familiarity, like coming home after a long trip.

    As you are about to move, a faint clinking noise catches your ear. The diamond attached to the obelisk has fallen from it and pulses warmly in rhythm with your heartbeat.

    Warmth? That’s not supposed to be in the programming either.

    Ashleigh pockets the diamond. As much as she would surely get for it, she has the feeling that she shouldn’t sell it.

    Wait. I’m in game now right? Need to stop thinking like Ashleigh.

    You make your way to the end of the tunnel, which is just narrow enough to make you squeeze through a few parts but isn't uncomfortable for you.

    You reach the end and stumble out into sunlight.

    A large valley opens up before you, though you stand at the narrowest point of it, almost into the mountains. To your right, running water burbles its way down an almost sheer cliff into a wide pool before flowing away as a narrow stream.

    The immediate area is filled with rocks which range in size from gravel to stones the size of your head.

    In the distance, you see the valley grows broader as it descends from the mountains, becoming quite lush, filled with knee high grass and a few low bushes and shrubs but no trees to speak of.

    In the far distance at the end of the valley, you are able to make out the start of a large forest. Your high vantage point reveals that the forest extends farther than you can estimate in every direction not blocked by sheer mountains.

    Shanna takes a moment to check that she has everything, hands reaching to check armor and her rapier.

    Your feet slide some in the scree as she makes her way down into the valley, but other than dislodging a few smaller rocks, you have no real trouble finding a way down. The stones are fairly uncomfortable on your bare feet.

    The grass is a welcome relief, soft underfoot. Other than a few dragonflies buzzing near the stream, you don't note any other wildlife.

    As you are looking around, you notice what looks like some sort of mechanical person emerge from a secret door in the cliff face. The being is clearly designed to appear female and appears to have been crafted more for aesthetics than any other purpose, as if she was meant to be a showpiece rather than a functional unit.

    She appears to be wearing an elegant suit of light armor, but you soon realize that this is just her natural chassis and she seems to be carrying no equipment of any kind.
