So...what happens if an adventurer runs out of silver?  I've been trying for hours now to find SOME sort of monsters or treasure or ANYTHING to generate a bit of coin for her sorry behind...but nothing.  The wiki wasn't much help either - the section on Adventurers is rather sparse on details like that...   :'(

I assume you starve. My adventurer is pretty damn wealthy thanks to some bounties on monsters and the undead that some regions have. Heck, he's wealthier than one of my nobles  ::)

I have quite a few times.  Apparently nothing happens.

You don't starve. The only thing that happened when I had been playing my adventurer a long time ago who was constantly running out of gold was that traveling was much harder for her because she couldn't afford to pay the road tolls, but still had hours subtracted every time until I was lucky enough to get an attempt without road tolls.

Good to know - my poor adventurer is down to 3 silver - but at least she's got a tent!

In the worst case... she can eat her tent. ;) Yummy.

I've got a week on autopilot now.

I decided the north had gotten boring, particularly in Libero Empire with its infinite number of retries at taking Storm's End. So, I've gone south to the Lurias to serve the new king of Luria Nova. Supposedly there's a lot of political intrigue and infighting among the nobility there, and I can imagine myself serving a bit like the Varangian Guard during the Byzantine Empire. Foreign muscle, free of the native's mixed loyalties.

So, I just went from Mimer to Port Nebel, which is 48 hours, and selected continue travel to Giask, which is 76 hours... now I guess I can sit back and relax for five days!  ;D

I imagine Libero Empire is always looking for more people, they almost have more land than they have nobles. If you pick that, then you want to start somewhere around Nifelhold.
Meh. I gave it a good try, even worked on the first two takeovers, but the atmosphere is a little subdued. I need more roleplay than that. Not even a potential lordship could induce me to stay in the north. No offense to them. Also, let's keep this on the lowdown, Celeitia.   ;)

My adventurer regularly has no money. You just don't have to pay upkeep, so you save 1 silver a turn. You can't pay road-tolls (so waste a bit of time), can't sleep in beds (so fatigue takes ages to get rid of), but that seems to be about it.

I hope like hell I can heal normally. I'm wounded, fatigued and broke. But really, that's pretty normal for my adventurer.

Wounded, fatigued and broke?  I suddenly feel much better about my penniless but uninjured self.  /hugs her tent.

My adventurer has 18 gold from clearing monsters in Terran. Since monsters have been raping and pillaging the countryside, many regions are not offering a fuckload of gold. :P I spent most of my time getting items, the little bit of time I've been killing monsters, I've been getting 6-11 silver per monster group killed, bahahaha

So here's a question - I'm still trying to head South, but don't have enough hours to get there.  One of the moves I'd like to make costs 20 hours to do - but my adventurer maxes out at 16 hours....so is it even possible for me to move to that region?

Man, I'm learning so much here about Adventurers ... keep it coming, haha, this is great. I'll know what to do when I run into this stuff in the future.

I always wondered, how does a tent work? I ended up with a tent on one of my adventurers some time before I paused them both, and I never saw a way to use it.

If you're not in a city, you can rest in it, and it's as good as a common room. Still, I usually opt for the best rest method because time is worth more than money.

I really want a tent now. Even when I do have money, there tends to only be primitive rooms in half the places I'm at. And that's at best.

Actually, just because I'm a bit retentive about these things, I'm going to put together a bread & breakfast list for as much of Dwilight as I can be bothered. Or find a tent. Whatever happens first.
