The Spinning update strikes the topic in the head!
It explodes into gore!
The topic has been updated.webadict the petty thief's turnYou somewhat consider following your two short term traveling companions into the forest bush. Conjuring up your mental memory of where your club is placed within your backpack you suddenly decide that so far, it is the best choice.
Following closely behind
Vaiolis you stumble through the vegetation of the forest. You gaze over your shoulder and see
inaluct, who has a fair amount of trouble walking through the greenery of the forest. Both as so far are non the less wiser of your plotting intentions, considering if both even try anything. You keep your arms in a position that will let you take out your club in no less than two seconds.
(In case you don't get that Webadict you're basically considering knocking the two out with your club.)
Vaiolis and
inaluct are occupied with their conversation concerning e.g of the use of plants during adventures.
inaluct the explorer's turnYou walk into the forest surrounding the road with a passion of exploration, marking down unique surrounding features of the area within your mind. A half split log near an empty burrow within a tree, a group of boulders next to a large spider's web supported by a rotting log, etc. Walking through the forest you find your armor hindering your movements, significantly as you almost trip several times. Falling ever so more behind
webadict and
Vaiolis you suddenly feel very safe and content with your surroundings.
You and
Vaiolis converse on the uses of plants during adventuring, you learn of the proper use of physt dia berry and its closest cousin the physt dia moss.
"Spit the chewed flesh of any physt dia into a proper sized bowl from the ratio of the wound, mix with alcohol. Dip any type of proper bandaging into the mixture and apply to the wound; helps with healing and decreases the chance of infection for any wound."Of the Physt dia catagories: both the moss and berry version are red in hue and grow in a symmetrical cross pattern.
Vaiolis the scientist's turnActing as leader to the group you begin walking into the forest, followed by
inaluct and
webadict. From years of studying botany you confirm that the forest is that of a temperate broadleaf forest, the forests are still a healthy green confirming that it is early summer. Considering that you already know all there is concerning this biome, you are clearly bored.
So to pass the time you're using scouting for signs that you are getting closer to the soapberry. You decide that you should teach something practical to your companions.
inaluct is clearly listining but as far as you can tell
webadict seems more preoccupied with moving through the vegetation.
Shikogan the run away's turnStaring up at the expansive blue sky you half wonder what just happened and what you're going to do. You hear the unsheathing of metal, fearing the worst you quickly get up but half way through doing so, you see
Frelock walking foward to try and quell the situation.
"Fear not weary travelers, we mean you no harm!"Your on you legs when
Frelock raises his arm, when all of a sudden you hear someone in the bushs yell.
"He's gona casta spell! Bend your 'eads!"
You hear a bow string being let loose *pwing* followed by the sickening sound of an arrow head stricking the uprotected flesh.
Frelock lets out a gasp of pain and you hear his body fall to the ground, you almost can't bear yourself to put your head up but you do anyway. You see
Frelock, he is flat on his back with his left arm at his side and his right arm away from his side. A wood shaft arrow the length of half your arm is sticking out from his upper chest, where it is very slowly forming a pool of blood.
You suddenly hear
Kashyyk scream, charging like a mad bull towards the closest bandit. More bow strings are let loose but they bounce off like pebbles when they hit
Kashyyk's armor. Kashyyk swings his sword at his target's neck, sending bits of the bandit's neck asunder the head goes flying towards the forest from where the bandit emerged. You hear some bandit archers flee into the forest, the now stumped body of the bandit falls to the ground like a crumbling fountain. You vomit at the sight.
Frelock the physician's turnHaving pointed out the archers still hidden in the forest and seeing that
Kashyyk intends to do away with the bandits. You pause the ensuing battle by showing the bandits your silver ring of the physician's guild, which is a very well known guild.
"Fear not weary travelers, we mean you no harm!" you say as you raise your arm to show membership. But unfortunatly your actions are mistaken for those of a wizards.
"He's gona casta spell! Bend your 'eads!"
Yells one of the bandits followed by a *pwing* noise than an arrow striking your left fifth rib! Luckily the arrow does not penetrate through into your heart, as it is stuck in the bone. Flashes of white spots crowd your vision, the air in your lungs suddenly blast out through your throat, you loose the feelings in your legs than your body as you fall prone to the ground.
You are now unconcious... you will regain consciousness next turn.
Kashyyk the ex body guard's turnWith a warriors dexterity and training you unsheath your weapon, and enter a fighters stance. The encroaching ambushers stop in there tracks and take half a step back. You've already choosen your first target.
When all of a sudden you hear
Frelock speak openly to the enemies who have just ambushed you! You turn your head ever so slightly to view Frelock from your right peripheral.
"Fear not weary travelers, we mean you no harm!"You suddenly know who this will turn out, *pwing!* You turn your head before you witness what you presume are
Frelock's last seconds in the world of the living. You charge when you hear
Frelock's body hit the road.
Screaming at the bandit you have targeted you hear more bow strings being let loose, followed by four arrows striking your armor, only to bounce off of the iron plating. You raise your left arm and for a moment stare into the eyes of your target, you see true fear in the browns of the bandit's irises. Swinging your sword your aim is true and cleaves clean through the bandit's neck, you do not even feel the cracking the neck bones as his head flys back into the forest! The archers flee as they witness this. You hear someone vomit as the bandit's corpse falls to the ground.
New map and update, enjoy! I will be rehauling a significant amount of things within this topic in the coming days.
