the peasant dwarf
« on: October 20, 2012, 03:56:19 pm »

Spoiler: INTRO (click to show/hide)


You wake up to "Happy Birthday!"
"You're twelve years old today" your mother says.
"Out 'ta go" your father says, as he lifts you out of bed and gives you a boot in the ass out the door.
You stand outside of the room your family shares and are pelted in the chest with your belongings. It's dwarven culture that once a dwarf becomes a full member of society, spared from goblin snatchers, they are on their own.
"See you around" is utter behind the door before it slams on your face.
Stunned you stand there mouth gaping, what are you going to do now?!

Buy a proper weapon and armor from that money (Preference: Armor). Go out, adventure, kill goblins, make a name for yourself, kill all the goblins. Not necessarily in that order.

Buy a pickaxe. Dig your way to the armory.

Obviously you couldn't go into the armory and grab armor and gear as you're not apart of the royal army, but you do go visit a market stall and purchase a mining pick. Dreams of riches run through your mind, as you think of all the gems and ores you'll uncover. While standing googly eyed in a day-dream you hear the trumpets of the Queen's arrival.

> Quickly kneel down and use your beard - wait you barely have any beard - use your hands to cover your eyes as the Queen pass by. This is because the Overseer had been crazy enough to have a gorgon queen.

The queen is so beatiful. Just look at her elegant beard and pretty little mustache. Too bad that she doesn't even notice you while she walks through the corridor with the captain of the guard.

1.You choose to become a noble.  You sneak in the Baron's bedroom (ignore the random drunkard drinking from a keg in the corner) and start waiting for a chance to shank the baron with your iron dagger and take his identity.

Or

2. You want to impress the queen. To do so you need to get some better equipment like the captain of the guard. Surely she will notice you then. You enlist as a smith. But first you need to mine some ore. Off to the mines..

3. I want to impress her majesty. To do so I need better equipment and tasteful quarters. I dig out a bedroom for myself and smooth it, then haul the rock(s) from that to a mason's workshop and make a door, a cabinet and a coffer for myself. I also buy a log and make my own bed at the carpenter's. If there is rock left, I make statues. I'll need to decorate those... off to the mines, to get ore and gems!

You kneel down and bow before the queen. You smell the sweet scent of swamp whiskey  as she passes you by in a confident stride. You decided to use your new purchase and enlist in the miner's guild to build your life. Successful in your enrollment which consisted of a grunt and 'sure' with a map being thrown in your face, you ponder which mine you should explore.

You journey to the SW mines. While searching for a spot to start you find an area that for some reason seems untouched by the other miners. You sense great wealth in that direction and wonder why others have chosen to leave it alone. You start to dig.
