Oink lets out a low, long whistle. Nothing to his old hoard, but still... real jewels! Real gold! Oink nestles down in the treasure pile, letting it rest comfortably against his skin.
Then he began to meditate. He was so, so far from being a dragon again. No mighty size or impenetrable scales, no great wings or flight. Not even breath of flames. Perhaps that, at least, was something he might be able to help.
Once upon a time, fire had been his nature, his very soul. Oink tried to reach into that well of destruction, locked deep within this porcine form, and coax it out again.
Meditate on pile of riches. Spend PP to try and learn a spell to conjure flame.
You know the spells, but they simply do not apply, your new form is so different, in so many ways, you dig deep, and remember one of the older draconic arts. a simple spoken rite for Wyrmlings and Foundlings alike. Whispered to a horde of treasure, a dragon gains power passively for a passive hoard, and as the rhyme goes;
One one-thirty fifth, once upon a time, and in full, forever.Just as mortals can spend their wealth in mortal means, so too can an immortal in immortal means. Having more Wealth increases every powerful aspect of you, and you can spend it to use or gain powersYou re-learn the art of the Wage-Mage, giving you the power to incite simple effects by whispering them to your hoard. for a one time effect, you pay a specific price that cannot be negotiated, which you are informed of immediately upon asking, and for a permanent version of the effect, you pay 37 times more, with a Drain on your MP or EG if the effect is particularly Active in nature.
You also Have a decisive value on everything in your possession, some may argue it, but that price is it's true worth. -2 PP

Wield the stick, using the non-infested part as a handle. If I'm not attacked by the leeches, try pulling on a handle. Purchase some torches and supplies.
12, 16, They seem to have a mostly neutral reaction to you, and pulling one off by the handle only results in your commenting on just how slimy it is, the heavy earth comprising it nearly making you drop the wet clay creature, it's mouth hisses with suction, and itself is lined with a single row of teeth, shaped like Triangular daggers.
1, You have no money and they have no shops, such is the fault of a peaceful subsistant community. The Village at the base of the mountain sees more actin from intrepid adventurers such as yourself, but is itself, as mentioned, at the base of the mountain, a few days travel going down.

I am fearful of this strange new thing. It worries me and I hide.
1, You try to hide, and along comes the creature. a large head and little arms grace this monstrosity, but it's eyes are replaced by two large horns. it towers over you like a man to a humble ant. Some sort of Tyrant Lizard, it sniffs the air, searching for morsels, it's eyes are naught, and so too is hiding from it's sight.
It turns to face you, the scent of boar still fresh on you and your kin, even in the safety of the green leafy thing.

((Too bad I won't be here long enough to go exploring. Oh well.))
Hmph. Those humans hold grudges way too long. It's a shame they can't let anything go. Oh well, Argrark did find some pretty cool maps. He makes a metalno typo note to return to this map shop in a little while. Speaking of shops, Argrark just had a great idea! He'll make himself a shop for his village! He starts off with merchandise: since Argrark needs lots of things to sell, he'll make a machine to make all the things. But what things should they be? Hmmm... well, everybody's always breaking their tools, so he could make a... a shovel shop! Yeah! Shovels are good. Argrark sits down and has a good ol' think about how he'd make a shovel making machine, and sets off to build it once he has a good idea. He spends as many PP as required to make a solid, dependable shovel-making machine.
((By the way, I still have those wooden planks, right?))
You head home, disappointed in how personally the humans take simple destruction of property.
