I can support this, only we get the herb identified first to make sure is safe to smoke.

It's a pretty big fort. There must be some herbalist here, if only one that's been canibalized into peasantry by the warden.

Edit:
All right, it's been a week since anyone posted. I'll bumping this thread up next sunday, just heads up.

We wait earnestly for your return. ;P

[NAV]

Please I don't want this to die. I will be waiting.

[slowpokez]

I think you should take it!
Hmmm, Nerin you should be careful. Even though Mcnameless over here doesn't appear to be an immediate threat I suggest you should still avoid any sort problematic situation, on the other hand there is no point in rejecting his offer. Take it and keep it for later.
Wait...this stuff fixes crazy? That could be bad, eh?
Eh?
Nerin?

-What do you mean? Clears memory and waht does it have to do with me talking to myself?
-When you've been down here for a long time you...get a little wierd. Sometimes you need something to calm you down and focus your memory.

Maybe...maybe this could...
Nerin! Don't even think about it!
Wait...is he really...
Wait wait wait, let's calm down here for a...
Nerin if I could punch you right now you'd have to eat with a straw for the remainder of your days!
This is bad...

-See, only you and me here. Don't worry happens to the best of us.
-I feel kind of wierd...

Oh shit, oh shit! Comeon Nerin, I know you don't wanna be insane and all but hell man you wouldn't have gotten this far alone! Comeon!
Nerin! There is no point in doing this! Just think about it! Even though it hasn't worked out perfectly all the time we've tried to help you!
You'd never gotten an 'ol people orgy that big without me!
...seriously.
You're not helping right now!

-Wierd? The plant just focus your memory, nothing wierd.
-Hngggg!
-Hey?
-What the...uhhh

What's going on?
Nerin?

-Hey you, what's wrong?

It's all dark...
Wait...What's that...
I've been to similar places before...
Similar...yet different...
Much like a dream but...more like a memory...
But it is not one...but a collection of fragments piled together...
It all feels so familiar...like remembering...but...
These are not my memories...
All the fragments are too intertwined to make sense...
It's all so surrealistic...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So many places i do not understand.
They seem real...yet twisted somehow...
Empty lakes, translucent mountains and discolored skies.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are people too...near yet distant.
Faint and unreachable...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Neverending changes of surroundings, some clear like springwater others clouded in a thick fog...
And the people...hundreds... perhaps thousands...just flashing by...
Many dwarves but animals and other races as well...
All mute...staring at me with unseeing eyes...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Suddently things began getting incresaingly wierd...Things started losing proportions...perspectives going strange...nonexistant lightsources...
The calm that I had felt before...much like a dream...suddently disappeared... A feeling of urgency...
Surrounded by limbless people, twisted abominations and physics defying phenomenon...
Moving from one aburd world to another I see a change in the behavior of the others...They still don't move or interact...but they appear to be aware of my presence...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A mild breeze flows past my face...
Slowly incresaing in strength...
Stronger...and stronger...
The world around me becomes hard to make out...
I have to grab onto the ground as the force threatens to blow me away...
The wind grow until I feel like I'm caught in a storm...
I have to squint to save my eyes from the blast.
Then it's over.
When I open my eyes I'm back in the cavern...

-What happned to you?
-uhh...huhh... you tell me that...
-This is not usually how it works...
-Did it fix my head?
-Huh?
-You said it kept you from going insane!
-Yes...but I don't know what happned...

I can remember...stuff...
What happned? so strange...
Wtf Nerin!?
Some memories, so hard to grasp...I don't know if they are my own but...
Wait what!? You got memories!?
It's complicated...I don't remember "me", who or what I was but...more general stuff...things that I think has happned...
This shouldn't have happned...

Now here's the deal, firstly you pick your next action like usual but secondly you might choose a timeperiod of about 60-120 inbetween the years of 0 and 844 per reader.

Pre-Df time.

0-Time of legends- The banishing of Armok
100-The era of pick and axe
200-The era of exploration
300-The dwarven era
400-The scientific era
500-The blood era

550-Post Df time.

600-The Gray era
700-The era of man
800-The scientific renaissance.
874-Today. The fall of Rocklod

Seems complicated?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(0-550 is the time where a classic Df-game would take place.) The years doesn't really matter it won't really affect the plot, it's only there as to add to the backstory. Don't hesitate and just post a timeperiod of your liking. *hint* don't take the same as someone else

I've been kinda busy latly so I took the oppertunity to use some preexisting material a few weeks from now I'll get things moving at a more regular pace.

[xominxac]

Something like this, (time-period, name of action)? Do you want us to make something specific relating to the story or just a simple statement in which you can build off of?

60-120 The prophecy.

I think he wants to use our voices as a plot device to narrate random "memories" to explain a little of the background story of this world. So I guess we have to choose a time-period and an event that could have happened there to focus on?

I'll choose:
0-Time of legends- The banishing of Armok
and maybe we can focus on what the gauntlet actually does?

[AfellowDwarf]

^{Edit: *cough*^^primitives^^*cough*}
Well, I don't like humans much, so I guess I'll go for the era of man. 690-780.


Let's ask what he saw happening, and what normally happens. Maybe ask where he got it, or if he knows about other usefull herbs.
Also, check our stuff(or check weither or not the old man has got any lice-marks). He may have taken something while we were out.

Edit2: Is that picture with the staring figures some sort of refference to something?

[slowpokez]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This guy got it, 1 action for Nerin and a timeperiod streching over multiple eras.

Edit: Whoever voted for 1 sloth clearly don't know what a honeybadger is...

Well, you don't need to win in order to fight.

Me? I voted >10. I'd just drown it, and take all your sloths as payment. I can be pretty gready if the other party is desperate.

Edit: Huh. I just noticed you put the fall of Rocklod into the timeline. That makes things a lot clearer. I was thinking post-DF would be the future.

500- the blood era

Nerin: Run into the caverns. Run and don't stop.

[Lt_Alfred]

I now this is too early but i just have to say, we're in the caverns right? there IS a megabeast right beside us right? that means we are in an area that megabeasts can access, so what is there to stop us from dying? nothing
why not ask the old guy for something that helps our chances of getting a....(forgive me) a baby with the nurse so if Nerin dies we can continue in the body of his son.

We have the neccecairy tools to set the surrounding forest on fire to slow him down, we can also sick mc nameless on him.

Creating a donor body so the doctor can do a brain-transplant for us should the need arise is quite a good idea. However, I think he'd be less inclined to do such a surgery if it's the nurse's spawn as well.

Not talking about that beast, i said that the area we're standing in can be accessed by forgotten beasts and that thing is the proof, therefore if we stay there longer some other forgotten beast may show up and be much more violent.
