Mission ThreadThere is the mission thread for you guys. Read the little speech, and if I have left something out of hte briefing, let me know and I'll edit the OP.
No hurry to get going. You can post here, or you can take your preparations there.
Look around and try to figure out how I got here. Then fly back to my cave. Hope nobody touched my stuff. Fear anyone who moved my rock!
(1) you only remember hurting, then sleeping, and now this. (3) you return to your cave and nudge your rock around a bit. It smells like gnome. You are not sure if that is because someone touched it, or because the whole place kinda smells like gnome. And explosions.
I would like rings that would cause effects like these:
-Ring that helps me cause more damage
-Ring that helps me resist more damage
-Ring that makes me more stealthy
-Ring that makes me resist magic, elements or the enviroment
-Ring that makes it easier to control others
-Ring that makes me smarter
-Ring that makes me more agile and nimble
-Ring that makes me more charismatic
These are just suggestions, please give me interesting rings and surprise me.
1) Ring of Random Fire: a ring that causes fire when the limb it is worn on is swung with hostile intent. The fire is not easily directed or controlled.
2) Ring of protection from Thorns. Not terribly useful in a mostly metallic environment. Perhaps a "ring of protection from jagged metal" would have been preferable
3) Ring of Smoke: fills the area with a thin smoke. the wearer is immune to the effects, except that they cannot see through the smoke any more clearly than another.
4) Ring of Steel: that's better. A ring that protects against steel. Beware though, if you are surrounded by steel, like if you are in a hallway or a tower or soemthing, the effects overload, possibly with negative consequences.
5) Ring of Fairy Dance: while the wearer concentrates, roughly one to five beings will have an overwhelming urge to dance.
6) Hmm. About the only way I can give you a ring that makes you smarter is if the ring I give you is smarter than you. that could have serious consequences.
7) Ring of Mimickry: while concentrating, wearer can alter their form toward that of any nearby or recently encountered beings. the effect is not total (i.e. you don't turn itno a mermaid but you might sprout gills or a tail). But, as an octopus, you are already fairly flexible in form anyway, so the effects are probably stronger for you, except that your flexible body does not adopt rigid structures well (spikes, bones, hard plates).
to make you more charismatic, you'd need to announce a specific type of being toward whom you would be more charismatic. This can be a race (human, troll, cat, monkeyspider), a place of origin (desert folk, beings from the elemental Plane of Coffee), a carreer type (sorcerer, mathematician, fry cook), or some other identifier (anime enthusiast, genderfluid, smells faintly of wax).
mabe a shield, other than that I'm good
okay, you get a sword and a shield. sturdy, reliable, mundane. any time you are being attacked, remind me you are using the shield, so I can give you the defense bonus.
Eh...guess I better take another look inside the armory for any additional useful equipment/items...just in case.
you could totally armor up, get better weaponry, get special items like mechanical drones, whatever. If you really don't want them, no worries.
Gak, seeing this opportunity for what it is, takes as many enchanted knives (whether just 'standard' supernaturally sharp stuff or more esoteric effects doesn't really matter) as the Armory will let him get away with.
Some randomly enchanted knives eh? Let's see, what's your strength stat .. 0. Okay, you can carry oh, say eight knives total. Let's roll them up.Oh, you get a nice bandolier and a couple straps and things with which to secure your weaponry.
1 & 7) Twin Knives. supernaturally sharp. Not like "slice an atom" sharp. More like "highly effective dagger" sharp. don't try prying doors open with tehm, but they'll cut pretty good. 1 is better at stabbing/piercing and 7 is better at slicing/slashing.
2) Blade of Bright Judgment: very sharp
and carries a lightning charm. Can discharge elecricity into a target 3-5 times before needing recharged. Will recharge one charge every two rest hours, or a full charge if attached to a power source.
3) Knife of Spider Summon. A fragile knife. best you don't actually swing it at someone, lest it shatter. But held in both hands, you can summon a variety of spiders to your location.
4) Heat Knife. again, not an effective combat weapon, but useful for such things as combatting frostbite, making s'mores, getting that cup of coffee juuuuuust right.
5) Dagger of Illuminating Murder. While wielded, you can see in total darkness, and can shroud yourself in unnatural darkness.alternatively, the dagger can emit a blinding light, aimed in the direction of your choosing. this dagger definitely likes to stab things.
6) Stiletto of Noisy Ancestors. this thing starts mumbling when drawn. The sound rises over time, up to the sound of dozens of irritable geriatrics in heated argument.
Juggler's Trick Knife. A knife with a variety of prestidigital effects. Nothing directly harmful. Fun at parties.
Retroactively leap into action after only a minute or two of fearful indecision, as opposed to multiple turns' worth.
First, sneak into the kitchen and fill my pockets with a bunch of hot chillies or other spicy vegetables. If anyone objects, inform them that it is a matter of life and death and that, besides, I was the one who arranged for a shipment of more-interesting spices to end up here during my first mission, anyway, so letting me stuff my pockets with chillies is the least they can do by way of thanks.
Then acquire a bunch of some kind of snacks or other that seem most likely to appeal to a troll. Stuff whatever-it-is in a bag, then take stock of my inventory. Do I have any coins left, at all? How am I doing for time?
I think you are out of coins, but you have plenty of time. why were you tryingto feed a troll again? also, nt only do you get your chilies, the kitchen staff loads you up with food. Looks like an end of season clearance meal is being prepared. Gotta get rid of all the perishables that have been sitting a little too long maybe?
