Acquaintances: Han Yu, Crazy old salesman.

Ignoring the out of context part,

You use your hunting knife to cut a young sapling bough. After letting the sun ripen the wood, you use flint to drill holes in the top and bottom of the bough, and thread a bit of sinew through the holes. The result is a crude longbow, sized perfectly for you. Now to make the arrows. You use a few tree branches to carve a handful of arrows, and sharpen the ends to deadly points. You test your bow. The arrows are a bit inaccurate, partially due to the fact that you're a novice archer, and mostly because they lack fletching. However, the bow is decently powerful.
You lose

Sinew

You get

Crude longbow

This was a 2 turn action - as such, you cannot forage, hunt, or explore next turn. You may, however, visit the merchant, or search for Gromble.

Ranged weapons fact: no experience of any kind is required to use ranged weapons, and the damage they inflict is independent of your attack stat, but rather relies on your speed, and, depending on the kind of weapon, stature. If you have any kind of ranged weapon, you unlock the 'Shoot' skill, which is like attack, but for ranged weapons. It takes one combat turn to switch from a ranged weapon to a melee weapon, or vice versa.

Caleb

You loot the corpses strewn about you.
You get

Silver rapier x 3, + 2 attack, bonus damage against vampires, werecreatures, and underlings
Copper drachma x 19

Turn 2 of Day 6 has begun!

Qqhlsurqslqu'rghlrq-acht'qu-hrlg crawls out of the Rift, darkness melting away as it enters the mortal world. Its comrades cluster about the Rift, drawing power from the shadows. Qqhlsurqslqu'rghlrq-acht'qu-hrlg didn't think of what it was doing as the right thing to do - a concept unfamiliar to most other of its kind. Qqhlsurqslqu'rghlrq-acht'qu-hrlg and its kind were imprisoned for acts that they did commit, and deserved everything that came to them.

((Im starting to feel like a second rate messenger .))

Maybe if you didn't have 7 speed you wouldn't be the messenger m8ey

The merchant smiles as you approach.

"I need to buy a shovel. How much does one cost, if you have one?"

"Well, how much do you have?"

"Seven drachmas..."

"Well, what a miracle! The shovel costs exactly that!"

Realizing the mistake you made, you grudgingly hand over the coppers to the merchant. He laughs at your misfortune before handing you a shovel.
You get

Shovel, +2 attack, bonus damage against dirt

You lose
head
Copper drachma x 7

You head back to the battlefield, where the combat has ceased for the time being. You take advantage in the gap in combat to scope the battlefield. You find a pair of broken swords touching, leaning on a wooden stake driven into the earth. A dead elf lays next to a patch of scorched ground. You instinctively know this is the spot, and start digging. Right as your shovel hits the dry ground, an elf on one side of the battle shouts something inaudible, but one part sticks out to you -

"Kill the dirty scavenger!"

Just about then, a goblin watchman on the ramparts of the wooden bastion sees you. He just sees an elf with a pike, and a horde of goblins burst out of the gate, screaming. You start digging faster. When the two factions are about to wash over you, you strike something solid. You grab a dusty stone box and start running. You're gonna have to fight your way out of this mess...

Combat log:

An elven arrow flies by you, killing a goblin!

You stumble back to the merchant, wounded. He clucks his tongue and goes into his cart. A few seconds later, he emerges with a small tin. He opens it, tears a strip of cloth off of his shirt, and wipes the cloth in the tin. He then rubs the cloth on your wounds. It stings.

+4 hp

You hand him the box, and he opens it. Inside are nine knives, roughly hewn from stone. You pick one up. The edge is completely dull.

"Blades? These aren't exactly sharp. However, I trust you, and I hope I have done well."

"You have done extremely well, but this is only the start of the challenge. When the hunter said he would join us, I think he was lying. We'll get the rest of the group together first, and then we'll get him.

The bathing warmth of the grand celestial star encapsulates a form, haunched in mud. It is that of a large man, slumped by a small brook of clean water. He sputters a coughing fit and is shocked awake, from which he, as always, wildly looks about. The setting is calm, but certainly not his campsite.

With that realization, his abdomen stings, excruciating pain erupts through his body. He nearly moans in agony, but manages to stifle it. Feebly bringing himself to those giant feet, his similarly immense hands raise to eye level. A single hope that the crimson coating is his blood, and his alone.

Staggering to the running stream, Grom does what he can to clean himself, not only the wounds, but also the caked red covering his exposed flesh. He need not question, nor despair. For indeed Gromble was well aware of what had occurred, still he prayed, especially for his little friend.

The large man stumbles forth, in hopes to return to camp. Too exhausted to imagine the gravity of his situation.

I might not be able to play effectively for a day or so due to my wisdom teeth having been surgically removed today. That said, I would like to explore north, and build shelter. Prioritize fire for my shelter. If I run into anyone else, aid them if they are friendly. Otherwise kill them indiscriminately.

I like the character role you're taking up.

Elise stands still for a second, not saying anything.

"I'm going. You have gone too far. You treat me as a foolish child, but I know more than you may think."

Elise's eyes pierce into you. You see in them a steely determination, combined with a great sorrow. You meet her eyes with an equally strong icy gaze.

"And don't you ever talk about my brother like that again. Never."

She leaves, and you're left with Aloren, who stays quiet.

You go hunting. You don't actually kill anything, but you do find the bones of a small animal in the swamp. You salvage what you can.
You get

Bone

You return to your camp and start fashioning the bone into a piece of your work-in-progress chestplate. Aloren helps as much as he can with a broken hand. The two of you strike up a small conversation.

"So, you said you're tracking an elf, eh? Are you a bounty hunter?" asks Aloren, hammering flat a piece of leather.

"No. I'm a craftsman by trade, I just needed some money to buy materials. This was a one time foray, and I'm completely sure I'll never go bounty hunting again after this catastrophe ends."

Aloren nods. He seems mildly sympathetic.

"You know, you shouldn't be working in your condition. Get some rest."

Han Yu tries to find a suitable stone to sharpen the edge of the shovel, and attaches the bronze pikehead at the end of the shovel shaft.

((If necessary, he trades the bone and stick or arrow for binding material from the merchant.))

The merchant grunts his assent, and tosses you a bundle of string. You cut what you need off, and secure the pike head on the sturdier stick. The shovel head, after you file it down, is affixed on to the flimsy pole the pike head was on. Unfortunately, the shovel head changes very little despite your efforts to hone it.

Bronze pike is no longer shoddy!

Shovel degraded to shoddy (increased breaking chance)

Shovel upgrade failed.

Just as you finish attaching the pike head to the sturdier stick, you see a lone figure emerge out of the forest. At first, you think it to be Gromble, or perhaps the hunter you met. However, when the figure draws closer, you see that it's a young girl with flame red hair. She's crying, but she staggers on with a vengeance.

"I'm here to join you."

The merchant looks at her, his smile fading as he looks about.

"Why are you crying, dearie? And why isn't the man with you?"

The girl, who introduces herself as Elise, says that the man, who she says is named Julio, refused to come. The merchant shakes his head.

"He has no idea what is at stake. However we can deal with that later. Now, we must find the Giant and the Fighter, what were their names? Eh, my mind is old. At any rate, their names don't matter as much as us finding them. Time is running out. We must find the man and the Lilliputian. It is necessary."

You return to your camp, glad to see both Hund and Fu Qyu unharmed. However, some force compels you to stagger further away after Fu has treated your wounds (+ 10 hp). You stumble into the rocky field, and get to the cart before collapsing from exhaustion.

Also, Rautherdir, best of luck with the whole wisdom tooth thing.

You head North, but stop when your passage is blocked by a huge Ziggurat-like structure. A chill runs down your spine as you gaze upon the huge temple. You travel a little bit South and stop when you reach a small sloping hill, smattered with trees. You break the branches off of them, and use your blunt stick to create a fire. You use a few other branches to create a canopy, providing basic protection from the elements. You heard stories of how your ancestors started building the mountainhome just like this, sleeping on the ground. You look at the end result of your labor, and let out a satisfied grunt.

((thank you for the turn start synopsis. that works pretty well.

Making the actions freeflowing, in a game paced as quickly as this one is, will lend itself to certain players just fine, but to others such as myself, this will make the game even harder to follow. If you are going to have player interaction as a major part of the game play, keeping everyone on the same turn is a must. thus, a more standard turn update shcedule wold be a benefit. be like "I will update at x time. if you haven't posted at that time, I will auto you." That tends to work best, though again, some players are just fine with the more frenetic, unstructured pace. I just think you'll lose out a couple of good players if you do.

I'm only givng my perspective from having played and run these before, so take what you will, and leave the rest

))

"All right, Grom? What happened to you?"

Fu will chat with Grom, then will scavenge over in and around the village the goblins attacked, see if he can find any useful stuff that isn't being claimed. If Grom needs to rest, and is willing to part with him, Fu will take Hund along for companionship, but will return him before nightfall.

Julio gazes at Aloren for a moment.

"You know, I don't trust you a step. Once I mention my pursuit of an elvish criminal, your first response is an attempt to convince me to put myself in a vulnerable state.

But I have more troubling matters on my mind."

Julio sighs. He gives up on trying to fit the bone into the armor, and returns it into his inventory.

"She's going to get herself killed. Isn't she.

...

Sorry for my words just then. I suppose I am tired. I'm too suspicious. It's just... living in the woods, and having to survive, tends to turn you into an animal akin to the ones we hunt to survive.

...

Watch the camp. If I do not return, assume I am dead, and that the camp is yours.

I'm going to be a guardian angel."

Julio checks the snare, then he cautiously prowls through the jungle towards the Old Man's encampment, and watches from afar. He does not make his presence known. He attempts to construct a rudimentary crossbow. He carves the sharp tusk into the barrel and stock of the crossbow, and uses some small sticks from the area to construct the limbs. He uses sinew to construct the strings of the bow. Once that is done, he uses the last bone and both sharp teeth to construct some basic bolts, then tips them with some Northern Prowler Venom.

Forage for material for a few torches staying near the shelter.
