Roll To Be A Farmer—The Epic
« on: July 29, 2012, 06:36:55 am »

The epic story of a farmer cultivating various vegetables and fruits, grain and cereal, with a side of domesticated animals such as sheep, cow, goat, and dog. The farm is divided into six sectors, with the center sector owned together and the five around it the property of each farmer. The income from the center sector pays for the operating costs of all five farmers, making it a win-win situation.

You are all co-owners of a small farm on a floating island, from where you can see a very tall and long tower, perhaps a mile away. The floating island orbits the tower. You can get to the ground by ... no way. Men with pointed ears ride strange loud devices called magata and trade for your goods.

The day is bright, and the fields beckon! The animal stables beckon too, and the sheep want out, the sky is strangely dark but with bright flashes of light everywhere.

Name:
Gender:
Short description, such as personality:

(Put ten points in the following. Each point for HP counts as three HP)
HP:
Farming Implement Mastery:
Farming Knowledge:
Items: <Each point put in Items can choose one item to add to your personal inventory from the list. The default farming supplies are all available by ... default, surprisingly. The item in parentheses is the default item, written for comparison.>
  • Adamantine Rake (Steel Rake) : Give +2 to rake-related uses. It is a rake made of the sharpest adamantine, which never loses its edge, and is so light that lead weights are added to make it actually usable.
  • Dragon Flamethrower (Flint and Steel): Can be used to burn last year's crops away quite fine. It has ten charges. In the event you use it on a fellow human, it deals +10 damage.
  • Anti-dog armor (Farmer's Cotton Clothes): Provides two points of defense against various attacks such as bites.
  • Nightlock seeds (-none-) : You can grow the highly poisonous but purple nightlock with these seeds. Purple dye is expensive.
  • Magic wand (Stick) : If you stroke the handle of this wand, a magic bolt pops out! No real use in farming.
  • One extra animal of your choice (No extra animals of your choice) : What it says.
  • Rusty magata engine : One piece of a magata.
  • Rickety magata chassis : Another piece of a magata.
  • Sticky magata control panel : The third piece of a magata.
  • Fuel : Used in both magatas and in dragon flamethrowers.

I've got to learn when to ignore my hate for reserves and just reserve.

Waitlist if there is one. If not, still watching.

Post your first day's actions.

Don't forget to add your character sheet in spoilers too.
You may check what you have right now.
It's best to have lots of ifs and if nots, to do more actions in a shorter period of time.

Also what is a magata? Sounds like some sort of mech thing. I Googled it but I don't think I found what you're talking about.

1st Day Action: Check what there is to be planted. Choose an appropriate crop and plant it. Plow the fields before if needed.

It's in the OP. A flying machine of sorts. Basically a primitive helicopter.
