Oh well, sorry for a really long update (and it's not even worth the wait, it's a standard one), but I had lack of inspiration lately
.
Overall:
Nothing of interest this month. (nah, I was just too lazy to think of something
. maybe add something soon)
-----
Berdok (webadict) -
Trying to improve your alchemy skills you attempt to make some potions, and maybe invent a few recipes. Unfortunately, you failed miserably. The first potion you tried to make exploded, burning some of your hair, and you decided not to tempt your luck further. The good news is that you memorized the recipe, and now you can make very unstable explosive potions. You take one with you as you go on the adventure. 6 gold spent on food.
Inaluct (inaluct) -
You continued to patrol the mines in hopes of protecting the dwarves, but didn't run into any werewolves. Instead, a werewolf ran into you. He managed to jump at you from behind and drop you down, attacking you a few times. You turned back to retaliate, but the werewolf was already running from you. You tried to follow him, but soon the werewolf was lost in the winding tunnels and you had no choice but turn back. You also drank your healing potion, which healed some of your wounds. You'll still need to visit a doctor for full healing, though. 6 gold spent on food.
Flint (Flintus10) -
You set off on your kobold-hunting adventure with a bunch of other adventurers. The old man you met in the tavern follows you, grumbling something about his reumathism. The only posessions this old man has are a backpack (empty, however) and a walking stick. "My name is Bodb, if you wish to know. I'm surprised about your rudeness! You didn't even ask my name when I started talking with you! In MY days..." - he proceeds to grumble something about "young people rudeness nowadays", and you continue your adventure. 6 gold spent on food.
Kashyyk (Kashyyk) -
You thought that little mining before starting the hunt wouldn't hurt. You were right. This time, your mining obsession was a little more controlled, so you didn't do any foolish things, like digging straight into a large body of water. Instead, you carefully mined out the areas around them, even doing some smoothing in the process. The miners were so impressed with your work, they gave you double money for your efforts. You also gained some mining skills in the process. After doing that, you finally set off on your adventures. 50 gold for mining, 85 gold spent on shield, 6 gold spent on food.
Dwarfaholic (Dwarfaholic) -
Like other adventurers that are in your group, you make some preparations before starting. And your preparations are essentialy brewing more booze. In fact, you brewed much more booze than you could carry, so you had to sell some of it to the town's inns. They were quite grateful for your famous 'Magic Juice', and paid a handful of gold for each of the ten barrels you sold. You didn't sell everything, though, so now you have five barrels of booze in your backpack. It's quite heavy, but you're a dwarf, so it doesn't bother you. Prepared for anything, you start the adventure. 100 gold from selling your homebrew, 6 gold spent on food.
Tcirgin'oo (Armok) -
Your herb experiments and reading didn't lead to anything good, but they didn't lead to anything bad, either. In fact, they didn't lead to anything. However, the case with the king was much more succesfull. After completing your ritual with the pile of gems, you put the king's hand on it. The gems were immediately absorbed, and you felt Nirur Torir's skin hardening in your grip. The energy that passed through the king's body stayed within you as well, hardening your body, making it less prone to damage and making your movements more stiff. You also felt that this energy may be used to produce some external effects, but it will require more study before it'd work.(the same applies to Nirur Torir)
Urist (andrea) -
You visited a butcher to learn butchering, but you failed miserably. Ashamed by your failure, you decide to go punish some random animals for that. "It's all your fault!" - you mumble while shooting a deer. "And your, too!" - a fox shot. "And your!" - a bear down... wait, a bear? No, that's not the kobold-bear, that's just an ordinary beer. Getting tired of revenge, you skin all of those animals and go too sleep. Your sleep is suddenly interrupted by sounds of battle in the distance, but you were too tired to go investigate. 20 gold for selling wolf remains, 20 gold spent on training, 6 gold spent on food.
Na'Ine (n9103) -
This time, you got two visitors at once. One was a dwarf armed with two weapons and clad in a full steel plate, and the other was some farmer, by the looks of him. The two-weapon dwarf (he said his name is Kashyyk) bought a -iron large shield- and departed on some adventure. The farmer dwarf bought a +kitten leather armor+ for at least a little protection against the werewolves. You also practiced with your axe, becoming so obsessed with it that you managed to destroy all the training dummies during the training, and you had to spend some gold to buy replacements. 85 from Kashyyk, 6 spent on food, farmer dwarf bought a +Kitten Leather Armor+ from you for 85 gold, training dummies for 40 gold, shop maintenance 15 gold.

The kobold-bear-hunting adventure!With all preparations done, the group of Flint, Berdok, Kashyyk, Dwarfaholic and Bodb sets off to hunt the bear. Maybe it was sheer luck, but it was going exactly as planned. First, the group prepared an ambush for this bear. Then the bear wandered exactly in the ambush, they attacked it from all sides - Kashyyk charged at him with his axe, Berdok threw his explosive potion, Flint leapt at him from above with his zweihader in his hands, Dwarfaholic shot a bolt at him and even Bodb managed to do something useful - he suddenly threw his walking stick away, pulled a shortbow seemingly out of howhere and fired at the bear. Unfortunately, the kobolds didn't worship this bear for nothing. As soon as he saw Kashyyk running at him, he released a mighty roar, and then stood on his rear paws and clapped his front ones. Kashyyk was stunned by the resulting shockwave, Bodb's arrow and Dwarfaholic's bolt fell to the ground,
potion exploded while flying, only slightly burning the bear, and only Flint managed to overcome the effects and strike the bear in the back. His zweihander tore the bear's skin apart, but didn't kill it. The bear turned around and tried to hammer Flint into the ground. Flint's armor managed to absorb the blow partially, but he was still wounded by this attack. At that point, Kashyyk finally managed to shrug off the stunning, and charged at the bear from behind, but its hard skin deflected the blow completely. Dwarfaholic, Berdok and Bodb fired simultaneously, and Dwarfaholic's bolt pierced the god's head, while Berdok's arrow striked in its chest. The bear realised that he's probably going to lose this battle, and tried to retreat, but he was killed by Kashyyk's axe before he could escape. You returned home to claim your reward afterwards. So now you have a corpse of bear and 500 gold. Split it between yourself as
you see fit.
