((I'll make sure to put some points into abstract and magi-punching at the earliest opportunity. For now I'll punch a torch into the pit.))

Turn 5: Bad At This


Patch up Wounds
You recover to full.

Assign what I assume to be a typo'd ten execution points into Taking-advantage-of-opponents-wounds.

Peer into pit, Punch light into pit.

You throw a torch down into the pit. It descends maybe 2 or 3 stories before vanishing with a splash.

Craft a dagger out of broken bones and a hat out of cloth.
[5-1] You pick up a bone, then sharpen the point. You now have a bone-shiv.

Gained: Bone-Shiv
+20 Bone Weapon Crafting xp


go into the other room.
It's large, square, and filled with a pit. Several other peasants are milling about inside it.

Wield metal, more practice.
You gain GUINEA POINT: Endless Practice. For the sake of SCIENCE!, you can improve your skills by training them.

[1] That doesn't mean you improve them now, however.

Find more things to bite.
[6] You dash down a random passageway and leap on the nearest thing you find. [1] vs [3] Which is to say, you fall fumbling at the feet of a giant ambulatory mushroom, which in turn just sort of shuffles away from you.

Turn 6: High Hopes


Practice my martial arts skillz.
The training, it does nothing!

Devise rudimentary map.
You lack mapmaking materials!

A crude map might look something like this in your head, however:


Or wait, that's your fantasies of gaining power and glory instead of dying ignominiously and unloved. You imagine the dungeon thus far looks something like this:



Bite mushroom.
[2] vs [5] You flop on the ground while the mushroom launches itself into the air, doing several flips as it descends.

[2-1] vs [6] Fortunately for you that just makes it hit the ceiling and then bounce ungracefully around the hall. Almost makes your desperate and very successful wrigglings further down the tunnel seem wasteful.

You now notice this part has some muck and fungal growth along the floor. It's dark and hard to make out much, though.

+2 Dodging (not a typo; trying out different system)

Practice shardsmenship.
[6] You get some nice, healthy exercise frantically slashing the air with your metal shard.

+20 Shardsmanship

Assign 10 XP to Bone Weapons Crafting and 10 XP to Bone Armor Crafting.
Craft gloves out of cloth.


-1 DMG?
Alas, weapons and armor aren't close enough to gain points in, at least not in this case. The fact that your crafting was essentially whittling may have hurt that effort.

You do gain Weapon Crafting 1 just fine, however.

[5] You fashion some damned fine cloth gloves. Which is to say, you manage to turn threadbare scraps into actual, aren't-disintegrated-by-sudden-gusts gloves, albeit understandable threadbare and patchy ones.

Finally, you ponder just how your bone shard could be worse than your fists. You conclude that while the raw damage is worse, shanking someone with a shard of bone might have advantages over just punching them to death. More successful rolls might impose worse conditions, like bleeding to death, for instance.

+20 Clothier

Run down random passage way.
You run down [6] the passage that kobold ran to.

You're met by four more kobolds. These ones have actual weapons, though, and...

...wait... no...!

One has an eyepatch. That almost assuredly means you're boned.

Mentally revise self image to be wearing high tier metal knuckles instead of a sword.

Punch bravery into fellow inmates.
