((LOOK AT ALL THESE RPG MECHANICS. I HAVE BEEN ONE-UPPED.))

[Solifuge]

((Great to have you! And don't take it personally; I have the slight advantage of having been working on this for a few years.))

[Gentlefish]

I say step outside and ask -him- for work. Haha, so simple it might work.

But yes, wow. A few years of pixel art-ing, too?

>To loot this place or not to loot this place, that is the question.

Here's a compromise, half-loot it. Starting with those jars and whatnot upstairs.

For shame. We are a good and honorable Flind. I think. Anyway, I say we should go outside and have a look around town.

Close enough. Anyways,

Naw, I'm doing the spriting and such between updates, hence the delay. The worldbuilding for this project actually started... what, 5 years ago now? My friend is a top notch gamemaster (apparently there are people who do it professionally), and neither of us really cared for Forgotten-Realms-style D&D. To celebrate the up-and-coming 4th Edition, we collaborated on building a new setting that was a bit different than the usual sword and sorcery deal. Then 4th Edition turned out to tabletop WoW, and supported everything that wasn't killstabsploding monsters about as well as a wet sheet of tissue paper. That, and our 4th Ed. group kinda sucked, and just used game as an excuse to get really, really drunk. I think it killed our DM's desire to work in the setting at all, so he took some of the ideas to inspire a story he began writing, and bequeathed the rest to me.

I've been fleshing out and revising the setting on and off since then, but never had a chance to run a game with a group. So you guys are now that group. Congratulations!

((Yay, saw your forum post awhile ago (One on about the RPG info) and i hope for the best and now this is here ))
Best if we ask the fisherman if he need any help, and if not then we should search the local area

Best not to loot, that WOULD make us bad houseguests.

This would be a better choise tough.

Watching...

[zacen299]

This looks rather interesting.

[MaximumZero]

Gonna pay attention to this for a bit before I post an action. Very interesting. (Even though it's not Final Fantasy Tactics. )

[Haspen]

I'm watching the RPG system thread, and so I will watch this one as well :3

After a few minutes of deliberation, you decide it wouldn't hurt to start the search for work right here with Brune. You follow him into the brightness outside, and take a moment to take in your surroundings.



You find yourself on a small rocky peninsula surrounded by sea. The sky is mostly clear, with only a few strips of clouds visible. The air is warm and damp with briny mist. Across the bay to the east, you spy a tumble of dry rocky hills and cliffs, with sparse patches of vegetation here and there. A few columns of smoke rise from beyond the hills, telling you that Dossent must continue inland. In the far distance, you see the hills rise into a low ridge of mountains.

Brune the fisher is here, sitting at a small wooden pier. He turns to you as you approach.

<sup>Before you ask, you don't owe me anything.

That's fine. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with, before I head into town.

Well, I don't have gear enough for a second fisher, if that's what you were thinking. I don't have much to pay you with either, but I'll tell you what. If you really want to do me a favor, and don't mind getting wet, I lost a lure of mine here in the bay a few months back. I generally don't put much faith in luck, but I swear the fish haven't been biting the same since. It should've been out behind the house, in the shallows on this side of the bay, but neither my son or I could find it. It probably got snagged on the rocks, but for all I know the tide could've swept it anywhere by now. If you want to give it a try, I'd be grateful just for the effort.

If you aren't interested, or don't fancy yourself a strong swimmer, you can head south past the lighthouse, and up the stairs on your left to reach the Trades District. It's as good a place as any to look for work. The Wharf or the Market District might be worth a look as well. Oh, and make sure you don't go too far south along the Shorefront, or you'll hit the slums. That could be a bad idea for an outsider like you.</sup>
