Turn 4Once Anna spotted the unsuspecting creature, which looks like a sort of Spore Carrier with a weird, alien shape of ears. She assumed that it is actually one of the very first victims of the FEV tests, who escaped the labs... which is really confusing, considering the settlements she has seen so far don't even look like pre-War America! She stopped trying to guess the origin of the creature and uses the moment to pull out her silenced sniper rifle...
Pop the creature's head with my sniper rifle. Stealthy style!
Once the FEV victim is dead, look for the other ambushers while looking into the sniper sight. Don't shoot them, yet. Nah, kill all the FEV victims I'll spot.
1+1 for ambush vs 1The creature glances over its shoulder just as your scope settles on its head. It wheels about at the last second and you shoot it through the shoulder. The wand falls from its hand as the creature tries to scramble back.
"Yes his fall dirtied my cloak. Would you tell me where I can acquire milk?"
1The farmer scratches his chin for a moment before answering. "You know, I heard that there's a good supply in the old castle by Moorsburg. Is that helpful? I'm not sure if we still have any, there was apparently a milk thief recently."
Try to convince other players to head on up, and quickly pop out to the shops to buy some milk.
(I can't really let you just roll to control other player's characters like that.)
4 for going to the shops.You put up a flier advertising the "spider quest" and head out to the nearest village. The trip is quick and uneventful, and you find a stall with a dairy farmer offering his last milk for the day.
Go find a dairy to buy milk from.
4Since Moorsburg doesn't have any milk, you head over to the nearest village to buy some more. Arriving at the same time as Cormac, you also find the merchant with the last milk of the day.
So, Random kind of made my quest futile. Not matter, in this game, we'll just end up summoning a new holy grail eventually, or going on a quest to steal the milk back from the unholy pail. Though if ATHATH makes a "holy grail" I'm shooting it.
Start our quest!

Um, yeah. What he said.
1You try to leave the pub, but as you exit, Adam accidentally bumps the leader of an all barbarian adventuring party with eight members. "HEY! YOU NO TOUCH GROGNAR THE MIGHTY! I SHOULD SMASH YOU, PUNY WEAKLING!" Adam considers what to do about this, but then GROGNAR spots a slight smirk on Aaron's face. He howls and throws a punch at him, which Aaron casually sidesteps.
I didn't mean to, whooops. I thought it would be funny for the Holy Grail to be a mug because it's Minimalism and Milk. It would kind of make sense in-universe.
Roll over rat and crush it with my newly found holy strenght. It's clearly some sort of demonic rat, so I might gain a bonus against it if I use myself as a weapon.
5 to get bonus, 5+2 for holy -1 for rat's prior advantage vs 3The rat continues to squeak and sit on you as you draw up your reserves of holy strength. The rat then lets its guard down for a moment. It chose...poorly. You launch into the air, striking the rat in the face and rolling it back about a foot. It looks about in confusion and begins to dart away into the bushes. You also become aware of a commotion starting in the nearby pub.
Name:Stormslayer
Description: A large beetle monster with greenish-blue chitin, roughly the size of a cow.
Why do you want milk? To feed the larva. It's easier than getting them meat.
Go looking for something to feed the larva with so they don't starve while I look for milk.
6Awareness. There is light. It is time to feed your young. You clamber out into the forest on six legs and search scent trails in search of meat to kill and return. After some searching, you carefully look under a bridge to find a large, hairy humanoid with claws and a bone club.
1 for troll to spot you. It hasn't noticed you, and in fact appears to be about to take a nap.
Quickly fill a bucket with water and bless it and make it in to holy water, then run to the milk and pour it in and cleanse it.
5, 3+1 for great holy water.You produce a bucket of holy water with the flourish of any great stage magician and the purity of a saint. It's really something to see. After that, you rush outside and dump the holy water into the Entropy Milk. It tries to devour the holy water, but the righteous light of the water will not abide that. The milk sizzles as its own nature is reversed and devours itself out of existence. All that remains of it is a crack in the ground and the two serpents who already left.
SCOWL.
"DO I LOOK LIKE A LOWLY MILK THIEF TO YOU?! I RESENT YOUR IMPLICATION, SIR!"
LEAVE THE WATCHMAN'S VICINITY IN A HUFF.
THEN GO MAKE SOME ENQUIRIES ABOUT BUYING A CART OR WAGON WHILST I AM IN TOWN. AND PERHAPS SOMETHING OTHER THAN MYSELF TO PULL IT
2You storm away from the watchman and go looking for a cart. Unfortunately, they're all a bit out of your price range. Your work and the cost of flesh golem ingredients has left a dent in your personal finances.
OOC notes:Any suggestions for the name of the other village?
