I'm too young to drown in a puddle that small!
"Turns out that puddle was home to a small family of carp!"
-Future Nirur, probably
((It's actually a stream or brook, and this is far more of a deathtrap starting location than one with mere carp. You see, it has ...))
{1} - Kork trips over a root while returning to his companions, and hurts his foot. He crawls back, in pain, but doesn't want to crawl back through the stream. He could not carry the berries while crawling, and eats one serving while leaving the others behind.
-1 HP
Injured foot: cannot walk next turn.
Lost items: 2x berry servings.{1, autosuccess} - Kromewill tries to take a nap, but can't sleep with noisy people trying to claim rulership. They ignore his pleads for silence. He feels refreshed anyway.
No longer tired.{5} - Kishquark exits the cave, finds some sturdy-looking vines, wears them for easier carrying, and returns.
Item gained: Length of sturdy vines.{2}, {1} - Rakshark tells Sir Hamilton Quixote to be his body guard, as he deserves to rule. He spends several minutes trying to convince him that it is a worthy quest, and that he needs a competent second-in-command.
{3} - Brasspate notices the creature blocking the entrance leave before he can draw his knife. The imp takes the opportunity to get out of the cave. Another of the creatures is sitting across the stream. As he considers his options, he is accosted by yet another of the creatures. He does not understand what it keeps yammering on about, but it seems welcoming.
{6} - Kemla notices the imp leave the cave and watch Kork. It doesn't look very aggressive, so she approaches it and starts telling it about her group and herself, while asking it about itself and if it wants to help. It doesn't respond before a shout distracts her from her monologue ...
{1} - Lukelygook walks to the top of the hill, and sees Kemla talking to a reddish creature. While working up the courage to investigate it, a horribly dangerous monster walks out of the cave. It looks like it's going to attack, so he calls out in alarm.
{1} - There are no forest gnomes in the immediate area.
{1} - Dragon egg, dragon egg. Where could it be? Who will find it?
