Sure! This is gonna be a VERY long comment btw, but if you wanna hear it here it is!

So I'm a Wizcoon, a wizard raccoon. The starting situation is that i'm in a forest, and I got a LITTLE TOO RECKLESS with my magic and accidentally turned a bobcat into a human. And now it's MAD, so I try to pet it!.... Buut I 'roll' over the %, so I call for reinforcements! I roll a 1, and not only get my own band of fellow raccoons, but the Bard lulled the bobcat-turned-human to sleep. Then we (the Lab rats who have human smarts = Brio the bard, Mason the medic, Wick the wizard, and there's also Berry Eir, the strong gal who's just a regular raccoon)  vamoose!

 We arrive at our home base in a trench coat, which is, according to the 'roll', a overgrown mansion that people party in on weekends! The people there do not know that we are 4 raccoons in a trench coat, and they call us the mailman. BUT, I thought to myself, 2 of our band members are girls (Berry and Brio)! Will Brio (the only girl capable of understanding English) leap out of the coat and blow our cover?? I 'roll' a 6, and she keeps quiet. But why, unless it's important to be SEEN as the mailman! 

Small plot twist; we are not actually employed by the Postal Office! Instead, we steal the beer from the mailman who's delivering it to the mansion, and carry it the rest of the way, so we can make social connections under a ALIBI! BUT THEN... Someone bumps into us at the doorway. We turn around and it appears to be... THE OG MAILMAN! 

"I'm here to deliver my message." He says, and a party goer responds "Who are you?" I try to intimidate him into silence using 'Tall' as my roll (because he looks shorter than me), and.... I 'roll' a dupe. Plot twist!.... since it only LOOKS like I'm taller, maybe he's in a disguise?? A MAGIC DISGUISE?!  So he pulls me off to the side and says to me, "Now that we're alone, I'll show you my true form, ye Raccoons!" and then he turns into a towering humanoid made of sticks and stones! "I'm here to tell you to STOP BEING RECKLESS WITH MAGIC! jeez, you lot never learn, do ya?" but then we tell him that we didn't know any other magic creatures even EXISTED! And then he's like,"oh man, I must've delivered this message to the wrong raccoons. well, consider this a warning then." and leaps off into the woods. 

We follow him because we needed to wear a mask to interact with people, and we might not have to do that with magic folk! Then I'm like, wait a minute i should probably 'roll' to see if we're being followed. And guess what? 

One of the party members is looking for us, or at least our alibi! They only see a bunch of raccoons though, so they're like, "hmm I wonder where the trench coat guy is?" so i use my magic to speak and be like, 'Hey I'm Over Here!' but in English and also in the other direction. they follow it long enough for us to get the trench coat on, and then we go talk to them to be like, "hey, so I'm going to be gone for a while, there's gonna be this replacement Mailman that'll come here every weekend, so goodbye."  and then we walk off and look for the messenger's trail. 

We find it, and it leads to a cave! and then I'm like, I should probably 'roll' to see if this is a magic portal. And it is! So we go in, and we find a bunch of mushroom dogs! For some odd reason, they understand Raccoon, and since Berry speaks Raccoon the best (being a native and all) , she tells them that we mean no harm and only want a safe place to rest. And then they lead us....

Somewhere. I still haven't decided exactly where, but I figure that since that speak Raccoon but there's no raccoons nearby, they probably ran away from the raccoons that used to own them because they grew delicious fungus mushroom tails and the raccoons wanted to eat them!

 So yeah, if you'd like to add to this part (cause i can't come up with anything rn), feel free!

That's awesome! 

Zoltar is a great way to ask for more information without yes/no.  Instead of asking "Is there a magic portal?" you could ask, "What do I discover?" In one shot, the resulting word could lead you to a magic portal or a dwarf in a tree or just an eerie silence.

good point! I guess I just had a LOT of ideas for where they would take us, but no ideas on what would happen afterward. I was thinking about it as a STORY, not a game, and that was my issue. I'll try it out! Thank you!
