[PrivateNomad]

    Your name is Cog Urnistheth, a lone mason living out in the woods. You have built a home to rest in, and even dug out your own mineshaft. As the dwarves say, with stout labor comes sustenance. You yearn for adventure, what will you do? Where will you go?

To your left is your house, south of you is some hills. A bit next to you is your mineshaft, and north are some mountains you sight in the distance, far away.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cog's eye has been injured in a short battle with a large pack of giant rats, which soon became dinner. The result left his vision impaired. Perhaps there may be something to heal his eye somewhere, allowing a larger view distance?

[PrivateNomad]

Cog briefly scratches his ass, looking around. In his impaired sight, he sees a badger.

Throw the spoon at the badger, then charge at it with the pickaxe held high above our head. Steel pickaxes in the hands of a miner are serious business.

[PrivateNomad]

The spinning ≡Iron Spoon≡ strikes the badger in the leg, bruising the muscle and fat!
The Mason charges at the badger!
The Badger is enraged!
The Mason strikes the Badger's upper body with his ≡Steel Pickaxe≡, severing the motor nerves, tearing the muscles, and shattering the bone!
The severed parts sail off in an arc!
The badger has been struck down.

Cog feels victorious.

Carry the dead badger inside so we can eat it later. Take a look inside the chest (although we should probably already know).

You drag the badger corpse inside, and you lay your hands on your chest. You open it, peaking inside.

Eat the badger raw as a snack, as we descend the mineshaft and look for minerals to dig up.

[PrivateNomad]

    You decide to eat it raw. Quite nasty, yet delicious. You then spend some of your time mining. You remember that you built a mason's workshop in the room by the stairs, but you can't build right now. You swing your pick, and create tunnels. Not long, you find native gold!

Mine all the gold, and what appears to be hematite to the east.

[PrivateNomad]

    You mine all of the ores you see. "Gold!" You exclaimed, yet you don't know what to do with it? Perhaps sell it? You know theres a town just over the hills. But just as you thought, you hear the grunts of goblins above the ground. What will you do?

Don the iron helm, shove a handful of fly brains into our mouth, and charge look out the window towards the sounds with our pickaxe at the ready.

[goblolo]

stone fall traps!

also take some stone to throw it to gobbos if they'll tend to attack you.

[PrivateNomad]

    You panic a bit beforehand, but quickly regain senses. You eat some of your fly brains. You regret that you left the iron helm back in your chests, but you have an idea... You quickly scurry to your workshop, and construct some stonefall traps. The traps are set.

It's..... magic!!!
I suppope you can catch flies and pull brains out of them.

Grab some stones, knap em, take a golden boulder as a heavy artillery (if you can carry one) and go check what gobbos are doing there.
