Gnarog's Dream (AW)

Gnarog's Dream was an RP session on Alternate World. The full Hungarian-language logs can be read at RPG:Archive AW 4.

Plot
Gnarog wakes up in the night - Nemezish and his wolf cub are both nowhere to be found, he is all alone in the night. So he decides to try to locate them by going eastwards towards the steppes, where he runs into goblin raiders. He finds out that the goblins are keeping a young girl captive, who was sold to the goblin king's castle for two hundred golds - she claims that the place was unbearable and the goblin king "forced her to be his whore" with tears in her eyes, so she tried to run away, but she was captured. Gnarog ends up killing the goblins and saving her. The girl tells him her name - Selena Monite - and tells him her tale, the fact that her father sold him, that she is from a village named "Three Borders". Gnarog complements her looks, and she calls him charming in return while blushing. While they introduce themselves to each other, she leads him to the village, where he introduces himself to the girl's family. They happily accept him, and he decides to work for girl's father by being a farm hand.

Festival day approaches, and on the day before the festival, Gnarog and Selena make love. They are the most beautiful couple on the festival, but the mood is ruined not too long after, as Goblins approach again. Gnarog helps the village prepare the defences, negotiates with the Goblin King, but when he comes back, he is accused of insubordination by the village's mayor. Gnarog and the mayor duel - as the mayor is about to deliver the killing blow to Gnarog, Selena jumps in front of him, getting cut down. Gnarog, enraged jumps towards the mayor, but is killed too.

After his "death", Gnarog sees Selena, who smiles at him and kisses him, thanking him for their adventure together, asking him to accept her gift, and asking only in return that he does not forget her, as neither will she forget him. Before Gnarog could say anything, the image is shattered, and he wakes up, this time in "normality", where Nemezish and his wolf once again exist. However, next to himself, he finds a sword, the very same one he had in the dream. All just a dream.... or was it?

Tropes

 * : This was Alternate World, not Ways of Darkness - Ildor, Gnarog and Nemezish were vastly different characters.
 * : Selenna was forced by the Goblin King to "be " before she ran away... which is an obvious euphemism.
 * : The sexual and romantic relationship between Gnarog and Selena started with him rescuing her from Goblin slavers....
 * : ... then they proceeded to copulate once she was brought home to safety, just one day before ...
 * : ...Selena's hometown had a festival, in which Gnarog and Selena were declared "the most beautiful couple". The mood however was soon soured by news of Goblins approaching once again.
 * : At the end, it turns out that this whole session was just a dream... or was it? . And he gets killed by angry peasants in the next roleplaying session. Maybe it wasn't a dream after all?
 * : Selenna is this to Gnarog,, who never reciprocated his feelings anyway.
 * : Both and Selenna get killed by the mayor in the final duel. More specifically, Selenna, dying,.
 * : Gnarog accompanies a group of peasants to fight off the approaching goblins, though subverted in that he ends up negotiating with the goblins.
 * Played straight at the end: The only reason why Gnarog had a duel with the mayor (leading to both his and Selenna's deaths) was because he said out loud that he finds the mayor suspicious, and refused to apologize.
 * Averted right before the end: Before starting the negotiations with the Goblin King, Gnarog also mistakenly called the him an "Orc", but was wise enough to apologize.
