Turn 9As Anna drank the sweet milk, her mind calmed down a little, and she started to understand: She has time traveled to the past! Accepting the fact that she may never return back to the current time, Anna decides to find her place in this timeline. However, as Anna turns away from the cow, she sees angry farmers...
Say to the farmers that I want to speak to the cow's owner.
Say to the cow's owner that I'll compensate him/her with money, should he/she name me the price and give time to collect money (3 turns).
Should cow's owner accept my offer, go and work the most high-paying job in the village. If not, perhaps it's time to run away to the Moorsburg and hide.
5, 2+1, 6The farmers respond kindly as you explain yourself. They notice your unusual accent and garb and identify you as some sort of lost foreigner. Remembering a priest who once told them to show generosity to strangers, they offer you some of their food to go with your milk and bring you to the village head. The head is much more cautious about you, but the villagers convince him to let you potentially buy a cow.
Blacksmithing seems like your best option for a job due to your experience with customizing weapons. You do fairly well. The usual blacksmith seems suspicious of your skills and mysterious gear, however. You have just enough money for the cow.
Roar.
2 vs 1Punch the gargoyle.
5-1 vs 1(Initiative:Gargoyle.)
The gargoyle pounces down at you and lifts you up by one arm. When you reach eye level, you give it a stunning punch in the jaw that forces it to release you and stumble back.
shuffle out of the way of it's next swing, flinging mud into it's face as I do so.
5-1 for previous hit vs 5, 3-1 for mud.(Sorry. I really wanted you to just kill this troll already.)
You don't dodge quite fast enough. The club leaves you with a visible crack in your armor.
Try again. Find the direction the Unholy Pail has it's lair.
5While we are waiting for the fancy cup to figure out our next location, I will summon my sword to myself, and then begin to attempt to teach my hired adventurers to be more useful in a fight.
3+1Make sure that nothing bad happens while we’re working on all this.
4Cormac hands out drinks and Adam rounds up the party for some quick training as the Grail looks for the Pail. Adam shows off demonstrations of swordplay and minor magic as Aaron occasionally assists. The adventurers seem to noticeably improve in terms of teamwork and following orders. (+1 when attacking a target someone else is attacking.)
The Grail has a vision when all this is done. In its mind, it clearly sees the first step on the Quest for the Unholy Pail! You must go to (roll) the Neighboring Village. Once there, you'll need to search the place for a sign that will point the way to your next objective. With the strength of this vision, the Grail also detects that the sign will have something to do with a foreign woman who came from a land of fire and dust.
Put the milk in a safe place and take care of the rat.
5Setting the milk to the side, you manage to capture the rat under a bowl and place a weight atop it. You could kill it effortlessly, but you have heard tales of wilderness creatures that someday reward those who show them mercy.
Awesome. To the bartender: "Thank you, good sir. It was my pleasure working with you."
Go buy myself a good weapon with my new coin.
6+1You say your farewells and head to the shops with the free non-milk drink Cormac gave you. On display and in your price range is the perfect weapon for you. What is it?
Cast Invisibility on myself.
3Invisibility would be an appropriate spell to cast in this situation, of course. However, you did not prepare that spell today. You do have
Major Image,
Blur, and
Disguise Self ready to cast from the Illusion school if desired.
This is medieval times, there are no grocery stores. Also, your text color is too similar to Mallos's, maybe you should change it.
DON'T BE RUDE, THIS MINIMALIST
THERE NO RULES, NO QUALITY CONTROL
LOOK BACK, SEE IF ANYONE CHASING ME
IF NO SIGNS OF PURSUIT, FIND A DECENT-SIZED BUNCH OF TREES IN FOREST AND (FIGURE OUT HOW TO) PARK WAGON NEARBY
OTHERWISE, CONTINUE SPEEDING ALONG UNTIL I LOSE THEM. AVOID OBSTACLES. UNLESS OBSTACLES ARE THE SOFT, FLESHY KIND WHAT I CAN PROBABLY PLOW THROUGH WITHOUT DAMAGE TO WAGON.
1Nobody chooses to purse your rattling machine as you roll out of town and into. Your rampaging joyride is then abruptly ended when you collide with a tree. When you regain consciousness, the wagon is damaged and currently unable to move. A sad song seems to play from the still-functioning steam pipes.
Thank all for halping and give them all a drink on the house each. Yell at whoever is driving the weird Dwarven contraption to sod off, and that I'm drinking my milk. If it's not Dwarven or something, then there's something wrong, since steam engines shouldn't exist yet. Go back inside and see if it's going to rain anytime soon.
2(I'm not sure if you wanted it to rain or not. I'm going to assume you didn't.)
You thank your assistants and give them the aforementioned drinks. After parting with the bar-wreckers on good terms, you take a look at the sky and see that it's about to rain.
Use some type of cleric healing spell to heal my self, and retrieve my crucifix.
4-1<General attacking>
1 vs 1-1 against injured snake.SsSsSsSsS....
3 vs 6 against arm."FOOLISH PRIEST! YOU WILL DIE BY THE GREAT GOATSBY'S HAND!"
Attempt to blast Harold with a spray of entropic milk.
Also, your text color is too similar to Mallos's, maybe you should change it.
this^
3 vs 2(Initiative:Harold.)
Through the pain of the ants in his blood, Harold calls out for healing. His blood is purged of ants and he reaches for his crucifix. Just before he touches it, Goatsby blasts him back with Entropy Milk and keeps him away. Adam's disembodied arm is suddenly deprived of its weapon when the sword vanishes. It pounces forward and punches the injured serpent in the nose. In response, the other serpent chomps down on the liberated limb. It thrashes around in the snakes jaw as the fangs dig in.
Name: 0cra
Description: An ordinary person that wants milk
Why do you want milk? To sell it on the black market
"Alright, time to get milk."
>Go steal milk from the grocery store
Oops, missed this one.
6You go looking for a market with intention to steal milk. This village has lost its supply, while the nearest village is sold out. You have to make the longer trek to town instead. You make it there, but the guards are on alert. This is not a place that shows pity on lawbreakers.
OOC:
Ah hell, I still haven't gotten around to finishing reading the first game. Guess I'll have to go through quickly. From what I've seen of this one so far, it seems like it'll live up to the original though.
You needn't, it can be understood perfectly without it.
I'd agree that reading the first isn't necessary to play this one, but I strongly object to the insinuation that anyone, including me, fully understands what's happening in either game.
(Also, thanks for saying that, Person. I was a bit worried I'd mess up the sequel.)
