if you want a little backstory to this, read the dead-ends.

and yes, I know the ending is kind of lame, I had a better one in mind, but didn't know how to word it to get the outcome that I wanted.
------------

Tickle Mage

The room is empty, save for you and your friend, Addison Taylor . You have been told to practice your tickle magic.

The floor is just a plain dirt floor.

You make a motion with your hand, and ropes appears around Addison, and binds her arms to her side, with her tummy exposed.

What do you do?

Path A.1: Rush her, and tickle her on the tummy with your hands.

Path B.1: Use other spell.
-----

From Path A.1: Addison squeals as you dash toward her.

Your fingers are a blur on her tummy and around her belly button, as she shrieks with laughter.

A voice fills the room. “I told you to practice your magic” Says the female voice.

It is your mistress, Abigail Gray. She is the one that took you under her wing when you were younger and taught you the ways of tickle magic.

Dead-end
-----

From Path B.1: You make a motion with your hands to summon your next spell.

Addison has seen you use it many times in the past.

“Please, not that” She pleads, eyes wide with a mix of fear and shock.

Your mistress was nice enough to teach you one of the advanced tickle arts.

You raise your hands, palms toward you, and two dirt arms shoot up from the ground around your friend's feet, she lets out a shriek.

The end of the arms form into hands and fingers that mimic your own movements.

The Elemental Hands instantly shoot toward Addison's tummy.

Addison dissolves into a fit of laughter, as you snake the hands across her tummy, even sliding into her belly button.

After a minute of torturing your friend, the door to the room slides open.

In steps a woman dressed completely in tight black clothes, she is clapping approvingly.

“Very nice, young one” she says, with a big smile, “You have learned excellent control over Elemental Hands in such a short time”.

You look over at Addison, she gives you a mock mad face.

What do you do?

Path A.2: Go back to your room

Path B.2: Try to make it up to Addison
------

From Path A.2: You head back to your room to get some sleep, but sleep does not come easy.

Your mind keeps drifting back to Addison.

Both of you have been close since before joining the Tickle Mage College.

She always loved to be tickled by you, and as a result, you always had a partner for your tickle experiments.

Addison is also a gifted tickle mage, but you are just a few steps ahead of her.

Dead-end
------

From Path B.2: Still in the training room, you walk over, and ask your friend if she is OK.

She doesn’t seem to be hurt or even that mad at you for using a spell you promised not to use on her, but you think it best to invite her out to dinner anyway.

During dinner, she does ask why you chose not to use your Mystic Feathers spell.

You know that spell well, it is a spell that summons two magic feathers that you control with your hands.

Just then, you hear an explosion, and the ground starts to shake.

What do you do?

Path A.3: That explosion sounded like it came from the college, better go check it out.

Path B.3: Stay in town: the college has it's share of enemies, no telling what's going on.
-----

From Path A.3: With Addison in toe, you bolt off to the college.

Before you arrive, you see pillars of smoke coming up from the college.

You and Addison bust open the doors to the college, and find the entrance hall to be wrecked. Books, papers and bodies of fellow classmates are scattered across the floor. Fallen bookshelves line a near-by wall.

You wonder who could do this. You don't have to wonder long, a loud shriek comes from somewhere above you. You and Addison rush up the stairs, and to the roof.

You see your mistress crawling backward away from a figure dressed in tight black clothes.

You rush to try to save Abigail, but are stopped short, when your body hits an invisible wall.

The figure turns toward you, you can see now that it's a female. All you have time to note about her is that she has long black hair.

The mysterious woman grabs your mistress, and, before you can do anything, blinks out, in a blinding white flash.

The invisible wall disappears as well.

What do you do?

Path A.4: Ask around town, and see if anyone knows anything about the mystery woman.

Path B.4: Go inform the mage security force [MSF]
-----

From Path B.3: You hope everything at the college is OK, but you don't see what help you could be if you went back.

You watch as Addison rushes off toward the college, you can't help but admire her ass as she runs.

The college has been around for as long as you can remember. You have heard some say that it has existed for 200 years, but you have read in old scrolls that it's been active long before that.

Dead-end
-----

From Path A.4: Along with Addison, you walk around the city, asking everyone about the mysterious woman.

You are about to give up, and head back to the college, and help with the clean-up, when you are stopped by a hooded figure.

“I hear you've been asking questions around town about a mysterious woman” Says the figure, in a, clearly, female voice.

The hooded woman tells you if it's a certain person you seek, you should go to the gypsy camp on the outskirts of town.

But, also adds the following warning “Be warned, young ones: the gypsies do not accept money as payment”

You are about to ask her what she means, but she turns and runs away.

What do you do?

Path A.5: Gypsies are creepy, you prefer to stay away.

Path B.5: It might not be much, but, it's the best lead you've gotten all day.
-----

From Path B.4: Addison and yourself set at the MSF office for hours. You can't help but worry about your mistress, who knows what torture that mystery woman is putting her through.

Even though Miss Gray is almost a decade older than you, and leaps and bounds ahead of you in tickle magic, you've always felt a special connection to her.

Abigail has covered your butt a many a time with the headmaster, Mr. Rivers.

In-fact, you are one out of only a handful of students that get away with calling her by her first name.

Dead-end
-----

From Path A.5: Since way before you were born, mages and gypsies have been at odds with each other,

You Have read that the feud between the two factions started centuries ago.

The only time you've saw a mage and gypsy together was when a knight came into town searching for a princess, the mages had to seek the help of the gypsies to find her.

That had been years ago, when you were about 12 years old.

Dead-end
-----

From Path B.5: While it is true that mages and gypsies don't get along, right now the gypsies are your best hope of finding your mistress.

You decide it best if you go alone the the camp, but about half way there, you hear a familiar voice from behind you.

“You're not thinking of going without me, are you?” asks Addison. you turn, to see she is giving you the quivering lip, puppy-dog eyes combo.

You Notice Addison has changed out of her mage robe, and is now wearing an outfit more suited for an adventure.

You decide, with some “help” by Addison, it best she tag along: After all, for her lack of tickle spells, she more than makes up for in defense and restoration spells.

When you arrive at the gypsy camp. The sky is turning an orange-like color, you note it is getting late and you doubt you and Addison can make it back to town before nightfall.

On entering the camp, you immediately pick up the smell of burning incense, you can't help but notice the cute way Addison crinkles up her nose.

You find the wagon of the fortune teller, she will also have a crystal ball to show you the location of Mistress Abigail.

You and Addison enter, and are taken aback by the sight of the hooded woman from town setting behind a round table.

She now is wearing her hood down, and you can see she has blonde hair, that flows past her shoulders, and sparkling blue eyes. You guess she is not over 30 years old.

You and Addison sit across from the, now un-hooded woman.

You start to ask about your mistress, but are cut-short by the woman.

“First, we talk about payment” She says, looking to be deep in thought. “It's not often we see tickle mages in here” she continues. “I will tickle one of you” she says, pointing a finger toward Addison. “You”

You can tell Addison is a little taken aback by the idea, but she finally agrees.

The Gypsy leads Addison into a back room of the wagon. You notice the door doesn’t close all the way.

You can see the gypsy lie Addison down on a bad, and tie her wrists with silver chains, before moving out of sight, you guess to tie her ankles.

You see a look of strain on Addison's face, obviously trying to hold back laughter.

In a matter of seconds, Addison is filling the wagon with her musical laughter.

You see the look on her face change to one of part ticklish bliss, part shock. “No-ho-ho-ho, Not-ha ha ha the-he-he-he tongue “ Addison finally shrieks.

After minutes of tickling, the gypsy unties Addison and they return to the front room.

“Now, who is it your looking for?” Asks the gypsy, setting back into her chair.

You tell her about your mistress, and the mysterious woman.

The gypsy makes a motion over a crystal ball, and a image appears of your mistress.

She is chained to a wall by her wrists and ankles, she is completely naked, save for a silver chain around her neck.

You have heard about silver being used to drain mages of their magic power, but never saw it used till today.

The image flashes out to the exterior of a tower, you recognize it as tower [name here].

It is a long way to the tower from here, and you will have to go through Pixie forest, named that because so many of the pixie clan call the forest their home.

You thank the gypsy, and leave.

What do you do?

Path A.6: Turn back, and head back to town

Path B.6: Off to Pixie Forest
-----

From Path A.6: You have always been told to stay away from Pixie Forest.

The Pixies are a mischievous lot, and are said to love to play tickle games with their victims, before tickling them to death.

It is also a fact that, while mages spend years mastering a single spell, Pixies have the in-born gift for using magic.

A Pixie could easily be a match for even a masterful mage.

Dead-end
-----

From Path B.6: The sky is now pitch black, save for a few stars dotting the black canvas.

Addison and yourself decide it best to camp out for the night.

Monsters come out at night, and it is unsafe to travel the roads after dark.

You start pitching two tents, while Addison builds a round fire pit out of near-by stones.

In minutes, Addison and yourself are huddled by a nice fire, telling stories and laughing.

When it was time to go to sleep, Addison goes to her tent first.

You watch as a silhouette of Addison gets undressed in her tent.

The next morning, Addison and yourself hit the road, bright and early, bound toward Pixie Forest.

A few days later, you can see the forest in the distance.

As you get closer, you see a sign, scribbled in a rushed warning.

“All those who enter this forest are doomed to a laughing death”

What do you do

Path A.7: Be cautious, but keep moving: you are so close.

Path B.7: Try to go around the forest.
-----

From Path A.7:On entering the forest, you hear the faint sound of female laughter.

You decide too follow the laughter, and soon come up on a clearing.

You see a red-headed woman tied to two trees by her wrists and ankles in the X stance.

She is wearing just a bra pantie set, and also has a silver chain around her neck.

She would appear to be a Pixie, or at least from what you've saw in books.

It would appear that she is being assaulted by nine tentacles, coming from the jungle behind her.

There is one attacking each armpit, two on each side of her tickling her ribs and sides, one curling around her to assault her tummy, and four at her legs, two upper, two lower.

She sees you, through teary eyes. She begins to plead with you to help her, telling you if you help her, she can promise you a safe way through the jungle.

Addison and yourself enjoy the show for a while, while the helpless Pixie laughs and pleads, finally you use your Elemental Hands spell.

Two grassy hands shoot from the ground, and with a few simple movements, you grab the tentacles and tie them around a near-by tree.

You rush toward the , still giggling, Pixie, and untie her. As promised, she guides Addison and yourself through the forest.

On exiting the forest, you are surprised when the Pixie asks to join you.

Addison and yourself both agree to let the Pixie join you, and ask her nane.

“You can call me Sin” Says the Pixie, in an overjoyed tone.

You can see tower [name here] in the distance.

What do you do?

Path A.8: You have a new friend: call it quits, and head back home

Path B.8: You feel that, with all three of you, you may stand a chance against the mysterious woman.
-----

From Path B.7: You look around, with the help of Addison, only to find that the only way through is indeed through the forest.

The Pixie forest is not only home to thousands of Pixies, it is said that, lurking in it's depths, lives a hostile tentacle monster.

Dead-end
-----

From Path A.8: While you have no doubt that Addison and yourself would have hours of fun with Sin, the pull to save mistress Grey is far stronger.

While it is true that Pixies can be mischievous, it is said that if you befriend one, they are very loyal friends and, if need be, very skilled lovers.

Dead-end
----

From Path B.8: As you approach the tower, you see why it is called “The Laughing Tower”.

Over many years, the tower has caved in, in places, so now, it appears to be the laughing face of a woman.

As you enter, you can hear laughter and pleading echoing through the halls. It sounds like your mistress.

You rush through the halls, there are many doors, but the laughter is stronger behind one.

You fling it open, ready for anything. You see your mistress chained up to a wall, and naked, just as the crystal ball said back at the gypsy camp.

Abigail is being tickled by that mysterious woman, Abigail's breasts jiggle as she laughs.

The mysterious woman looks back at you. Wait,you recognize her now, she is one of the other teachers back at the college.

Abigail and the other woman start laughing.

“Did you enjoy my little test?” Abigail asks. Still giggling.

You notice she is still chained up, and shot a knowing glance at Sin and Addison.

“Get her” you say, already running toward Abigail and the other woman.

Abigail squeals as you dash toward her, hands drawn.

The End
