Great! Updating turn list.

[Galena]

It's so close to my turn. I'm just so giddy to participate in something where I get to kill thousands of innocents! And Goblins!

[ImagoDeo]

The rushing sensation is the first thing I notice. Then a voice speaks:

"You have been assigned a great and terrible task."

I don't know where I am. I don't know who I am. I cannot say everything is dark, because I don't know what light would look like. There are no sights or sounds or sensations except a feeling, deep down inside, of tremendous speed. The voice speaks again, although I cannot hear it because there is nothing to be heard.

"This world must be purged."

Then I feel a momentous collision, a cataclysmic displacement, and everything opens up into a beautiful world with a stream and a bridge and two creatures standing near me. I know things now. I feel things now. I can see and hear and taste. There are tears in my eyes. My toes hurt. The voice lingers.

"You are not yet ready. You must travel far. Go."

I have a purpose.

Well, I played a day, killed a horror of night-type beasty in a lair to the east, and had to savescum because I died to bogeymen. Apparently the bronze helm isn't as strong as I thought it would be. Anyone got some idea what to do if you become drowsy and have nowhere to sleep? Do I go up in a tree or something? (That probably would've been a better idea...)

Yeah, the wiki confirms that. Trees = safe. Good to know. Back to day 1!

Those are some truly impressive stats! Nothing is as intimidating as a hero who's a proficient gelder, however. I was watching my friend play adventure mode, he always aimed for the lower body and was given dozens of gelding strikes... It hurt to watch. "You bash the human in the lower body with the -silver war hammer-. It is a gelding strike! The -silver war hammer- has become embedded in the wound."

[NJW2000]

Wait, you still used Nomotoe's adventurer, didn't you?

[ImagoDeo]

Wait, you still used Nomotoe's adventurer, didn't you?

Yep. As I said though, I had to savescum once. Bogeymen are dicks.

[NJW2000]

Great! Also, if bogeymen are a problem, try waving leaves at them. Surprisingly effective.

16th Hematite, 550

The most direct route is often the fastest. My companions abandoned me at the shore of the lake as I struck out for the opposite side. I will not miss their presence - they would most likely have objected to the course of action that now awaits me in The Warm Swamp.


Later

I swam across the lake. I am drowsy and must rest. Tomorrow I shall resume my travels to The Warm Swamp, in search of Gozru Skinscorpions. He has something that I need.


17th Hematite, 550

I climbed a tree to rest for the night but was rudely interrupted early in the morning by a quintet of bogeymen. I managed to stand up and run a few paces as they tore at me ineffectively, and when I had recovered from my drowsiness I took them as they came, beheading two and killing the rest by removing limbs and cutting flesh until they bled to death.

I climbed another tree and made sure to find a secure place on a branch before settling in for the rest of the night. At dawn, I crossed the river and moved on southeast to search out the goblin.


Later

I killed and butchered a warthog to shore up my stock of food. The elephant meat already in my pack should hold me for another few days, but carrying more meat will not slow me down at all and I may not get another good opportunity to find meat. I am heading north toward the lair of some unknown monster - if I am lucky it is Gozru's hovel.

Near Dusk

I encountered a solitary goblin lasher at a small human hamlet north-east of the lake. We carried on a pleasant conversation until he charged at me. I learned that he was a member of an army and that he was terrified of a dragon that lived to the south. He refused to speak more after I hacked into one of his lungs and eventually I tired of asking him about the surroundings (he obviously knew nothing), so I slashed him across the back and then decapitated him. I took his whip. It may come in handy.

I traveled north until night halted my advance. I must rest in another tree for the night.

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

Sorry for the lack of screenshots - I kept forgetting to snap images of things last night as I traveled. Nothing terribly interesting has happened yet, but I hope it will soon. I also want to be a master lasher by the time I end the turn, because whips.

[conein]

well, i am honestly being a dick getting in the waitlist and then jumping away every time, but... Remove me, i just cant do this.

[NJW2000]

It's fine, forewarned is forearmed.

[StagnantSoul]

Man... I seriously thought I was a great killer. But hell naw... Not compared to these other guys.

[ZM5]

This is friggin awesome. I'd love a turn but unfortunately I'm rather busy with studying. Maybe later.

[Galena]

Wait, what? Only a "talented" wrestler? A dabbling kicker? A dabbling bite? An adequate striker? These are all giant problems. I must remedy them when it comes to my turn.

[tonnot98]

I'd like a turn

[NJW2000]

Sure, adding.
