You stand in your shop, hammering away at your most recent project, armor and a weapon for yourself. The piece of metal you are currently hammering is to become a layer for your sword, the plans you have drawn out show a beautiful broadsword with a blade made out of seven different metals all encased with mithril and inlayed with pure elementium in the form of runes that make the blade even sharper, able to cut through magical energy to absorb it, then reuse that energy as a shockwave on a counterstrike. It will have a hilt made of dragon bone and its guard will be made of dragon teeth.

The armor you plan on making is quite different. Made of enchanted wood from the strongest trees around, inlayed with a mesh of mithril links and runes inlaid with melted wind crystal to make it as light as a feather, reduce how much sound you make while increasing movement speed, and increasing range of motion.

Finally, a shield that reduces physical damage taken and resistant to all forms of magic made of dragon hide and mithril with obsidian inlays on the mithril to add a hidden storage dimension to it. Once you have all the materials for the armor that is... When it is completed, it is to be your legacy. You already have a name for the sword, Void splitter.

You think as you continue to hammer away at the metal. You're examining the metal when a nearby explosion startles you and breaks your focus making you drop it. You move the metal aside before you grab a sword heading out of your shop, finding a huge crater no more than five yards from your door. You rush forward, seeing a shape charging towards the crater in the dark quite a distance away before you look down into the crater. Not worried as the form of the monster is far away still and its unlikely it will be stronger than you, you see a man down in the crater, almost completely nude except for a few charred bits of leather armor covering his manhood, you look up, seeing the creature much clearer now and realizing you overestimated your luck.

The creature is a minotaur, fabled for their strength and power their largest fallacy being that they are easily outsmarted even by someone with little to no skill. It is around ten feet tall, bulging muscles and a bulls lower half, and a bulls head. It snorts and drags its hoof against the ground as you realize the minotaur isn't after you but the man.

You have a choice now of what to do first. Try to save the man without facing the minotaur, or battle the minotaur and hope you win.
