[Apostolic Nihilist]

Would it be possible to build my castle on top of a mountain, and then recruit craftsmen and the like to join me, living with me in my castle and making crafts?

Rather, how many people could my castle accommodate? If I could get 30-40 skilled craftsmen and instate myself as Lord, I'd have a significant source of income.

[Nirur Torir]

Food and drink should probably automatically be bought once a day in cities, but rations make sense for traveling. Later on, when we all have towers/fortresses/cities/really, really big holes in the ground, food could count as part of the maintenance cost for live beings.

I'm not sure how I'd rather have time work once some players start building things if others are still adventuring.

[zchris13]

It's an RTD. Don't over think it.

[kilakan]

I'll continue to head southeast with Chris, I will keep my earth-spells ready and be on the look-out for dropped items (from traveling merchants, wizards, ect.) and any potential ambush.

[zchris13]

Keep going.  Southeast, once we reach the split.

If threatened, FALCON PUNCH!!!

EDIT:  Kilikan. Want to have some sort of crazy ass maneuver where you throw me on top of a rock and I smash things to tiny bits with the momentum and my dwarven ability to sustain massive amounts of damage.

3: You set off down the road. After a while it starts raining, so progress slows notably. You reach the fork soon enough, however, and start heading toward the hamlet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
5: While walking through the rain, you see something glinting on the road ahead. You run over and pick up a muddy amulet with a sapphire set in the middle.

Item: Muddy Sapphire Amulet

I read through various books, trying to learn more runes.

5: You begin looking through some old books containing rows of heiroglyphics. After reading the descriptions of each one, something in your mind just clicks, and you figure out how to use runs together to make complex spells.

New Spell: Rune of Finesse
New Ability: Rune Link

The librarian looks like an intelligent enough fellow, so I ask him about the surrounding area.
"Say, if I were going to build a castle somewhere around here, where do you suppose it should be?"

2: You start to ask the librarian about the countryside. He looks at you sternly, then throws you out of the library.

3: You return to your books, learning more about the arcane theorems. You're still struggling, but are starting to get the hang of things.

Goody!

What's Rune Link do?

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Goody!

What's Rune Link do?

You can engrave multiple runes on a single object to get a single, powerful effect.

I will start handing out other abilities soon as well(only on 5s though). In order to get an ability you must at least have a general understanding of the subject(no dabbling or novices allowed!)

[Apostolic Nihilist]

And to think, I thought we were getting along quite well.

Regardless, now that I'm outside, I should probably continue looking for flaws in the academy's design. I really do need money, after all.

[zchris13]

Grab a couple of rocks to hold in my hands while walking, to train my strength and endurance. (I've seen my dad do this with weights)

[Nirur Torir]

For my next series of actions, I'll find an overly complex method of buying a rapier.

I'll engrave runes of agility and finesse on my club, despite how silly a combination finesse and club are.

Also, I noticed a typo. I should be a normal Scholar, not a novice

Woops, you're right about that.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

I'll just auto Kilakan, since it's not like he's going to be doing much besides walking.

 I continue looking for flaws in the academy's design. I really do need money, after all.

6: Once outside, you start studying the architecture again. You suddenly notice a critical flaw in the building design, and decide to offer yourself a as consultant to the school. You tell them about the flaw, and they pay you 40 gold for noticing it, then ask you to leave. When you press them about designing a new part of the academy to replace the flawed part, you suddenly feel a thump on your head.

Several hours later, you wake up in a fog, and can't remember anything that happened. You have 40 gold in your pockets and feel slightly more knowledgeable about architecture, but a throbing lump on your head makes it hard to concentrate.

Grab a couple of rocks to hold in my hands while walking, to train my strength and endurance. (I've seen my dad do this with weights)

You begin looking around, but don't see any rocks. All there is is mud... lots of mud.

I'll engrave runes of agility and finesse on my club, despite how silly a combination finesse and club are.

4: You take out your club and start engraving some runes on it, linking them together. The runes glow in a light blue light for a moment, then fade after you finish carving them.

Item: Club of Swiftness(+1 to Attack Priority)

Continue Studying Arcane Theory
You start getting really into one particular chapter in the book, and start absorbing the information in the chapter like a sponge. However, some of the teachings conflict with your philosophical beliefs, which you end up giving up in favor of this new information.

-2 to Philosophy

Continue Traveling

5: You make enormous progress even with the rain splashing around you. When you arrive at the hamlet, you quickly run into the in. The looter's sentry didn't see you through the rain, and they are still unaware of your presence.

[Apostolic Nihilist]

Those capitalist pigs...
A mere 40 gold for noticing potentially catastrophic safety hazard?! I could've made more than that leaping around like an idiot in the middle of town...

Furthermore, where am I?

Given the heavy fog, I assume I'm outside the city. Obviously the first order of business is survival, and with a mere knife I doubt I can fend off any creatures I may encounter.

I'll use whatever I can find — stones, logs, twigs, anything — to make a basic platform, in an attempt to get a higher view of my surroundings.

I'll just ignore the fact that I probably won't be able to see anything in the fog.
