You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

Into the shop
You decide to go into the shop to look around.
Inside it is very dusty and is crammed with shelves. There is lots of products that overflow from the shelves and are lying on the floor.
You notice the counter and the old man in a bathrobe behind it. "Welcome <<your name here>>" he says. "How do you know my name?" you ask the old man "Simple, I am a wizard" he responds "Have a look around too see if there is anything you would like to buy".

Now Alone
Using second person write a story about a magic board and card game that transforms the players when they play cards but they remain human until then.
Rewrite the following page "At first, you and your friends are ecstatic about your new game, You eagerly unbox the game and start setting up the board, shuffling the cards, and placing the figurines at random places on the hex board
But something goes wrong. As the dice leave your hand , the room begins to change. The walls and the door start to dissolve into a dense, unpassable fog. Panic sets in as you and your friends realize that you are trapped, with no way out.
The dice roil and bounce. Three card float up from the deck in front of you.
The board fades out apart from the hex within the dice roll. All your friends have disappeared as well.
Suddenly, the cards start to glow, and a voice speaks to you from nowhere.
"Congratulations, you are now playing. Should you lose all your cards you will lose the level. If all players lose you will be ejected from the game. Each level you have won would determine your prize"
ou look around frantically, trying to find a way out, but it seems like you're stuck in this strange dimension until you complete the game. With no other option, you cautiously pick up the cards and study them.
You notice that each card has a set of attributes, and you realize that they're not just random phrases but actual physical traits.
"Your goal for this level is to find your friends before you run out of cards" the voice says "But first you must pick a hex to travel to"
You point to a random hex and watch as your figurine moves in response.
A card floats up from the hex "You have run into the mighty sphinx. She challegens you to her riddle. What do you do?"

A Sphinx Riddle
You have card in your hand saying Intelegenge: + " and the sphinx grins in response "I can play a card too. Species: Sphinx"
Your feet elongate, stretching and twisting until they resemble the paws of a lion. Your arms shorten, becoming covered in golden fur as they merge into your torso, forming the body of a lion as well. Your chest expands, and a pair of large wings burst from your back, unfurling to their full span.
Your head remains human, but your features shift and elongate into a snarling, feline visage. Your ears become pointed and tufted, and a thick mane of golden fur grows around your neck and shoulders.
You feel yourself rising up onto your hind legs, now standing as a two-legged Sphinx, towering over the hex board. Despite your new form, you remain upright, able to use your hands and maintain a sense of balance.
As you take in your new form, the Sphinx before you nods in approval, clearly impressed by your transformation. You feel a surge of confidence, ready to face whatever challenges the game throws your way.
The Sphinx grins at you, a hint of challenge in her eyes. "Very well," she says, "I challenge you to this riddle: I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?"
You pause for a moment, considering the riddle carefully. Then, with sudden clarity, the answer comes to you. "An echo," you say confidently.
The Sphinx nods, her eyes narrowing. "Correct," she says, "you have passed my challenge. You may choose one of my two cards to add to your hand."
One is "Gender: Female, Stance: Sphinx." the other "Speech: Dog"

Goblins
On the other hand, the card with the attribute Speech: Dog could potentially give you the ability to communicate with other animals, opening up new avenues of exploration and problem-solving.
After a moment's consideration, you decide to choose the Speech: Dog card. You slip it into your hand, feeling a sense of excitement at the possibilities it might hold.
The Sphinx nods in approval once again, clearly pleased by your choice. "Very well," she says, "you may proceed to the next hex. But be careful - the challenges will only get harder from here on out."
On the table in front of you are two cards
'Intelegenge: +' and 'Species: Sphinx'
Also is a glowing bar 'Waiting for other players'
When the bar disappears you roll the dice again before moving your Sphinx figurine to the next hex, eager to continue your journey. As you do, you feel the power of the Sphinx card coursing through you, enhancing your intelligence and strategic thinking.
As you arrive at the next hex, you see a group of creatures gathered around a large boulder, seemingly arguing about something. You approach cautiously, not sure what to expect.
As you get closer, you realize that the creatures are goblins, and they're arguing about how to move the boulder out of their way. One of the goblins spots you and turns to face you, snarling angrily.
"Who are you?" the goblin demands, brandishing a rusty sword. "This is our territory. You'd best be leaving before we decide to make you leave."
You hold up your hand, trying to calm the goblin down. "I'm just passing through," you say. "I don't mean any harm."
The goblin eyes you suspiciously, but seems to relax slightly. "Fine," he says. "But you're not going anywhere until we get this boulder out of the way. Unless you think you're strong enough to move it yourself?"
You look at the boulder, which is easily twice your size, and shake your head. "I don't think I can move it on my own," you admit.
The goblin grins maliciously. "Then I guess you'll just have to stay here with us until we figure it out," he says.

Treasure
You look over the cards in your hand and choose a card "Spell: Disintegrate. Cooldown: 10 turns" pointing it too the boulder
The goblin's eyes widen as he sees the card in your hand. "Hey, you can't use that here!" he protests, but it's too late.
You concentrate on the card and a beam of light shoots out from your hand, hitting the boulder with a blinding flash. When the light fades, the boulder has vanished, leaving only a pile of dust and rubble in its place.
The goblin stares at you in shock, then starts to back away nervously. "Okay, okay, we'll let you go," he stammers. "Just don't use that thing on us, okay?"
Behind the boulder is a treasure chest and inside is a card. Without hesitation, you open the chest and find a card inside with the words "EQUIPMENT: ???? TRAIT: AUTOEQUIP on pickup
You consider the card carefully, wondering what kind of equipment it could be. Could it be a weapon, armor, or some kind of tool? You're not sure, but the trait "AUTOEQUIP on pickup" suggests that whatever it is, it will automatically equip itself to you once you pick it up.
