Uh...Plant the Nightlock Seeds?

Short description, such as personality: He's a lovable, kindly soul who just wishes to bring peace and happiness back to the world.

[ansontan2000]

Dammit, how did I miss this? Eh, PTW. Anyway I can get involved?

[MrWillsauce]

I plant my nightlock seeds wherever I think is best. I shoot one of the seeds with a magic bolt to see what happens. Also if anybody is trespassing on my property I threaten it. If it does not leave immediately I blast it with as many magic bolts as possible.

Ahrim:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Ahrim Dethrack
Gender: M
Short description: An extremely pretentious and talented (not as talented as he thinks) dwarf wizard. He was recently forced into the farming profession after being expelled (he says he quit) from the Dwarven Wizard's Association after turning one of the new initiates into a cabbage. His goal is to grow herbs and ingredients that he can use to mix potions. While doing this he hopes to do as little manual labor as possible. While he has absolutely no experience farming himself, he is a very well-read and educated wizard and knows much about farming from texts in the DWA's library. If anybody questions his magical ability or offends him in some other way, Ahrim will take extreme action and (attempt to) destroy that person or entity by any means possible and necessary. Ahrim is not above using other people to benefit himself and rarely considers or respects others' lives, feelings, or property. The only exceptions to this are his familiar Gertrude and fellow wizards that he respects. He hates unnecessary conversation and loud noises and will use force to eliminate the sources of either if given the opportunity.

Examine current supplies. Assuming I have seeds and/or crops, begin planting and/or tending them. If I have any animals, tend to them enough that they stay healthy. If any traders come, examine what they have, especially new seeds and animals.

Also, gaze at the tower on my breaks. What's it look like?

Spoiler: Tevee (click to show/hide)

Name: Tevee
Gender: Female
Short description, such as personality: Short but ambitious, Tevee's more interested in being a merchant than a farmer. Alas, she had to start somewhere, and growing her own merchandise is a good start. She's fascinated by unusual things, be they arcane scrolls or priceless gems, and relatively unperturbed by danger.

Plant Nightlock!

[Skyrunner]

Muyotania goes out to his portion of the fields, slowly digging and planting.

6->2+3+3 He enters a digging trance and ends up creating a hole to the rock layer. Muyotania scratches his head, wondering what got into him.

Ahrim plants his nightlocks. 1+6 He buries the seeds at just the right depth and covers them up.
Growth 0/10

He shoots one of the seeds. 5 The bolt hits the seed and it crumbles.

3 Ahrim can't see anyone on the farm.

Tevee examines her supplies. She has a steel rake, flint and steel, cotton clothes, a stick, a shovel, numerous tools used in farming, like a wheelbarrow, trowel, hoe, sickle, and basket. She also has a stockpile of seeds of green, yellow and red herbs, and a rabbit.

No traders arrive right now, but there is a low humming that might indicate an approaching magata.

The tower is tall and thin, made of white-yellow bricks and adorned with arches. It seems to stretch from the ground far far below all the way up to the sky where it disappears.

Kingfisher1112 plants the nightlock. 2 He sprinkles the seeds onto the ground and hopes they'll grow.

Growth 0/10, 50%

All: You see three magatas emerging from the shadow of the tower, around the far side. They slowly drift towards the island. Each magata has a propeller on the top, a glass window, and landing skids. The thing is made of a brown metal. It is as large as eight cows, but the smaller ones are the size of one or two cows and hold only two people.

[IronyOwl]

Tevee smiled at the approaching magatas. A shame she didn't have anything to trade yet.

Still, perhaps she'd pay them a visit once she had at least one field going, to see what they might have in the future.

Plant red herb seeds.

Ahrim growls and looks begrudgingly at the magatas. He hammers a sign into the ground that says "Private property: trespassers will be shot". He also tends to his nightlocks.

[Caellath]

Wonder why my action wasn't rolled for.

Plant yellow herb.

[Caerwyn]

Okay...

Fix that hole, and gently plant the Nightlock seeds, then explore my farm-island-thing thoroughly? I'm certain that there's something cool hidden about!

[kingfisher1112]

Tend to the plants, and plant various herbs.

[Skyrunner]

(Oops, let this slip.)

Tevee bends over and 4 plants the red herb seeds exactly as they should be planted. Red Herbs growth 5/20

The magatas' drone is growing louder. She glances up again, and with a start realizes that they fly a banner, thin and triangular and black. There's some sort of white mark on the widest part of it but is rather indistinct.

The merchants had no banner.

Ahrim 1 hammers an empty plank of wood onto a stake and into the ground. Deep into the ground. So deep, in fact, that it is invisible to the mortal eye. Nothing but a hole.

6->1+6 The nightlocks grow. Growth 4/10

The loud drone of the magatas make you minorly annoyed.

Caellath 5 realizes that it's because his action was so prompt that it was buried in other people's joining posts.

Maximillian 4 successfully plants the yellow herbs.

Growth 0/20

Caerwyn 2 makes the hole slightly deeper.

3+3 He carefully plants the nightlock. Growth 4/10

6->4 Other than the magatas circling the island, and the other farmers doing their stuff, you don't spot anything much. The island looks like a bowl, overall, with mountain-ish things surrounding it, and plains in the middle. On the ninth of the plains that is Caerwyn's, there is a small forest, mostly of pine trees, and part of a lake stocked with small silver carp. The mountains surrounding the island might have caves in them.

Please reflect that if you don't write your own crops and bonuses, I might not take them into account >.>

[GalenEvil]

ptw. Looks interesting, fantasy farming RTD

[IronyOwl]

Tevee's brow furrowed as she looked at the magatas. If they weren't merchants, what were they? Scouts of some sort? Merchants' guards? Bandits?

There was adventure here, she was sure of it.

That said, adventure was no excuse not to tend her fields; these tourists or whatever would probably be landing soon enough anyway.

Tend red herbs. If they don't really need more attention, plant some yellow ones instead.
