READ CAREFULLY!

You, along with your crew have been hired by the fortress of Kegsorrow.

Your purpose?

To hunt the many Forgotten Beasts and Titans that besiege this place.

It'll be a good-paying job to hunt these beasts.
You'll be able to buy good weapons, armor, and everything in between!

RACES:

DWARVES, ELVES, HUMANS, and GOBLINS are the same as vanilla DF.

Here are the other races. They are based on my Culture Shock mod (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162478.0):

ICEDWELLERS: A race of humans from the frigid lands of the north. They are skilled with axes and hammers and quite strong. They are also resistant to the cold. *Icedweller hunters' reasons for hunting are all over the place, from the thrill of the hunt to altruism. (Basically nords/vikings.)

DUNEMEN: A race of desert dwelling humans from the southeastern deserts. They can use scimitars, glaives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive), and daggers especially well. *Dunemen hunters' general reasons for hunting are all over the place, similar to Icedwellers. (Basically medieval Arabs, except with a polytheistic religion.)

HELLSPAWN: A race of demonically cursed humans from the northwestern plains capable of flight. Despite their appearance, they are generally altruistic. Maces are their specialty. *Most hunters from this race hunt for protecting the innocent or other such things.

DARK ELVES: Not as nature-bound as their tree-loving cousins, they are masters of sabers and recurve bows. *Some dark elf hunters are in for the hunt.

HOBGOBLINS: Greedy, gray-skinned, city-dwelling and not very evil compared to their counterparts, these guys get a bonus when using crossbows! *Most hobgoblin hunters are driven by their innate greed.

CORRUPT DWARVES: Mostly evil dwarves with the skin, eye, and hair colors of goblins. They are considered to be good whip wielders. *Some hunters of this race are fighting beasts for redemption in the eyes of the gods.

MONITOR LIZARD MEN: Evil lizard folk serving their emperor or empress. Most beast hunters of this race defected from their empire. Similar to Corrupt Dwarves, these guys are good whip wielders, except Monitor Lizard Men prefer a scourge to a wimpy whip. *The majority of hunters of this race are in it for glory.

MARSHFOLK: Scholarly frog people of the swamps and marshes. They work best with any swords or spears. *Many hunters are in for knowledge.

*These don't have to be your reasons. Pick whatever you feel.

(This will run on a d10 system. 1 is Critical Failure, while 10 is Critical Success. You can guess how the rest of the numbers work.)

As you are brought into Kegsorrow, you are shown your rooms. The guide also brings you to places that may be helpful on your hunts.

TAVERN: "This here is the local tavern. You can get a drink or food to calm your nerves, or you might hear a rumor floating about."

TEMPLE: "The temple is a perfect place to get your weapons enchanted. Swords of fire, maces of ice, you name it!"

FORGE: "If you don't wanna buy a weapon from a weapon shop, allow the blacksmiths to make one of higher quality for ya! It's a bit pricey however..."

TRAINING GROUND: "This is where you can hone your weaponry skills. Plain and simple. If you're new to the hunting trade, I suggest going here."

The guide continues his rambling for about 2 minutes, then he pulls out a list of sorts.

"This here is the Beast List. Shows ya what forgotten beasts there are. I assume you want to go hunting right about now, don't ya?"

[Elvish Miner]

Ziyza looks at the list in his hand.

Before we talk about that, what is our rate of compensation? Is it by the head, or do certain beasties earn us more gold?

[Asin]

Ziyza looks at the list in his hand.

Before we talk about that, what is our rate of compensation? Is it by the head, or do certain beasties earn us more gold?

The guide speaks again.
"I was just getting to that. The pay depends on the beast. More dangerous beasts mean more pay.
Killing a six-legged turtle with fire breath would earn you more gold compared to a blob made of steam with wings.

[Elvish Miner]

Ziyza rubs her hands greedily. Excellent... What do you think, boys, ready to earn ourselves a stay at the tavern? She is obviously anxious to go, without even stopping at the training grounds.

[Greatness942]

"Sleep? Alright. It's been a while."

Nyarlek looks to the Tavern and starts walking.

[Asin]

Suddenly, a farmer runs toward your guide and screams.

"Sir! Palmwebs is attacking the livestock!"

"Oh, isn't that swell? Looks like nature sent in its test for you four. Palmwebs is a big ol' red spider with 3 eyes. It hungers for warm blood, they say.  You in?
