Live, I say! Live!

Blame it on grass.

Just look at that asshole. Being all smug like that.

Yeah, turn 1 is coming along. I just hate grass and landscapes. And this turn required both. In any case, doing the grass right now is most likely gonna speed up future turns considerably. Right now in "generate art assets" mode, so everything takes time(especially since I hate landscapes...a lot).

                                              Turn 1

Meet Mor Dak'kah. An exceptional kobold in many ways. While other kobold children were fond of shinies, he was fond of a particular kind of shinies, ones that glowed with magic, made a consistant ticking noise, or were simply weird. And rather than hoard these artifacts, he would take them apart, see what they did. While other kobolds were stuck in caves and spent their time stealing, Mor became far more civilized, took after the humans that created these artifacts. He straightened his back, even though it took a while to get used to, and miraculously, managed to grow a small beard. The artifacts however, were rare, and Mor spent his time shooting with the bow, it being the highest technology kobolds have.

At some point in his life, the lack of artifacts became too harsh for him. He packed his things, and went to wander the lands. He has done this for a while now, and has become familiar with the language of the humans, and can convince a human that he is not visiting to steal their things(although he sometimes is). In time he has come to see humans as equals, rather than gods who create powerful artifacts. And in some cases, even considers himself the greater of them, as they have no appreciation for what has been created.

In time this has lead him here. A pretty ordinary village lies in sight, and his trusty bag, filled with arrows, sits behind him. He has been in this exact situation many times, but this time, it is the beginning of something greater than just wandering around. The adventure of this lowly kobold is beginning, and you will be here to guide him.

What is Mors first action in his adventuring career?

It has begun. I hope further turns wont take this long.

And just to note, you do have a hyperspace inventory(where you hold your bow).

And I decided on third person even though the title is "You are". Just seems more natural.

[Ultimuh]

Check your bag of stuff, make sure everything is there.
You never know.

[Robocorn]

Run through the backdrop. Surely there are magical artifacts behind it.

[Nirur Torir]

Calculate how long he can fire at his preferred rate for with his current ammo reserves.

[terkiey]

Walk to the village! Onwards for our quest to find artifacts!

           Turn 2

Mor checks his bag. Everything seems to be there. 203 crappy wooden arrows, 20 coins and the magic ring. Mor had a few more artifacts beside the ring, but he lost them in the process of acquiring the coins. He believes the process was called "trading so you dont starve".

You might be interested in the obviously magical ring. Its practically useless. All it seems to do is to shock the crap out of Mor whenever he tries to wear it. Maybe useful to give to a thief as a trap, and its always funny to place a piece of bread in it and use it as a bug zapper, but besides that, useless. Mor has been thinking of giving it a name so he doesnt have to call it "the ring", but he hasnt come up with a good name.

The 20 coins are a respectable sum, enough to survive for a month. Mostly farmers and the like trade purely with goods, but they will also accept coins if they dont need any immediate goods. Coins are mostly for trading between nobles and rich people.

The 203 shitty arrows can pierce a skull from the right angle, but not a good helmet. Considering Mor can fire every 3 or so seconds if at full speed(more if he aims properly), and fires two arrows at the same time, it would take him around 5 minutes of non-stop arrow shooting to run out of arrows. Naturally he would get tired before that, but its good to know that he could do that while pumped with adrenaline.

Confident that all his stuff is still there, Mor places the bag in his inventory and continues onwards towards the town.


He arrives at the town, but there in noone there. Not a person in sight. Its midday, so its very out of the ordinary. Generally people are working at this time. Cant hear anything either. It feels quite eerie.

Mor doesnt know what he should do.


The tall stone tower to the north might be worth checking out. There is also always the possibility of knocking on someones door, or just leaving and finding a less creepy town.

Right now I havent made the inventory screen(thinking about if Im gonna to it fancy, or simple), but it basically works on the same principle as in NEO Scavenger. So you have 2 hand slots with which you can hold things, and a slot where you can put the bag and put stuff in. If you really need to carry a lot of things around, you can just hold another bag with your hand.

[JackoftheBox]

Travel towards the tall stone tower, also knock on all the doors that are along the way

[terkiey]

Just go to the tower, but keep your eyes peeled for artifacts.
If you see anyone, check to see if they are wearing an artifact mask and are not just wearing their real face, like normal people.

[Ultimuh]

Ponder on more possible uses for such a ring, perhaps as a component in somekind of device?
