I've spent most of this summer doing work that makes my brain tired. Have a forum game. I have no idea what I'm doing.


You are this guy. Or are you a girl? Who knows!

You.

You know.

Why don't you tell us? While you're at it, what do you actually look like, where are you, and what are you doing?

You're a girl. You look like that. What. You wanna say something about it?

You're a necromancer. Necromancer trainee. Necromancer heroine?

Alright you're a hobo necromancer apprentice digging through a crypt. Why? Because it's got bodies and that's sort of your thing, and it might have loot and that's definitely your thing.

You are a girl with long green hair, red eyes, and a white robe. You are a demonblooded sorceress who is trying to show that she can go beyond her evil nature despite said evil nature heavily influencing your actions. Hilarity ensues.

You are an ill disguised inquiry into Path to Power's fate.

+1 to this, I would say.

You're a chick, obviously. In fact, you're rather insulted anybody could be so unobservant as to mistake you for a boy. Alas.

You really dig the whole 'treasure-filled crypt' thing, which is why you're in this run-down tomb. It's a tad chilly in here, but you've got your necromancer robes to keep you warm. Maybe you'll be able to find some treasure now!

...Although you've only seen dust and stone so far.

((Sorry, GWG, I drew the picture right after Irony's response. :( ))

Collect some dust. Possibly also stone if it can be pried loose. Delve deeper.

Review inventory. Do we have any hobo and/or necromancer related items, such as a bottle of cheap booze or some kind of anatomy textbook?

If items are scarce, pick up hobo staple weapon: rock. Should be a loose one around here, yes?

You gather up some dust and a few small rocks and stow them in your robes, in a pocket next to your bottle of home-distilled whiskey, your elegantly carved shiv, your hobo's luck charm (it's a family heirloom), your Maginomicon (you always did like giving your spellbooks funny names, but you think that one could use some more work), your magic screwdriver, your forged papers of goodwill from the Taliad, your lockpicking equipment, your Derevin's On-The-Go Alchemist's ToolkitTM, your homemade flare gun, and a comb.

You like collecting things. You'll have to put those rocks with the others when you get back to your camp.

You head deeper into the crypt. Off to the sides are uniform archways, but you know that they just have a single generic sarcophagus behind them. You've checked some of the previous ones. In front of you is a stone table, holding a set of weapons. They look ancient, worn, and pitted with rust. You're amazed the bowstring is still holding.

They'd look nice in your collection of ancient weapons, you think, but you'd prefer to only carry one of them. You're already travelling with a lot of stuff.

Bow. If the string and the wood are still holding, it's probably the newest.

Throw a couple of rocks into each archway. Then pick up the hammer.

Throw a couple of rocks into each archway, then approach the weapons. Examine them carefully - which of them looks the least crappy?

Spear. It's the biggest and thus most impressive for our collection, and on the off chance that we ever had to use it, would keep us the furthest from pointy objects.

Besides, it's the most like a staff. Mages and hobos need staves.
