Turn 20!
Keep hauling. Keep message to nosy people in mind.
[3] This is hard work! You keep at your task, but not many people seem to want to help. However, a small crowd has begun to gather to watch you work.
Follow patiently and wait for transformation!
You are sent to a small room, and ordered to sit down in a chair. You comply, and are tied to it. An old gnome hobbles in, and looks at you intently. [4] You vaguely recall a history lesson where you heard about this gnome. His name is Crooky, and was famous for his transmogrification spells. You must specify "was" because he's been dead for 300 years.
After some time, he says "Yep, he's a human all right. The pigmentation is far too light to be a real imp, and his tail is stunted, on account of humans not having tails to begin with. A shoddy job, but I can work with it." [2+5] He recites a quick incantation, and pokes you square in the forehead. You begin to shake uncontrollably, making violent spasms as you revert back to your human form. Seeing that his work is completed, Crooky leaves, to be replaced by Dinkus.
"Now then," he says. "you are not inherently evil. That's saving you from permanent death, right there. However, you did some pretty evil things back in your realm. There's still the matter of your punishment. You can either spend the next 500 years here OR you can do a little job for us. What do you choose?"
Do some menial tasks for cash for supplies.
[3] You go around town doing odd jobs for anyone who wants help. It takes you the better part of the day, though. You eventually pocket about 5 gold coins, a third of what you'll need, you figure. As you walk through the courtyard in search of more tasks, one of the military's Knights waves to you.
Suddenly sit upright and horrify any onlookers with cryptic warnings about the future. Then wake up with no memory of what I just said.
[1] You have a most wonderful dream of terrifying people with screaming, while some cosmic horror is dreaming of you dreaming. But then he wakes up, and reality itself is torn apart! Oh, wait, that's your dream too. Never mind.
Ask the poor if he needs any help.
[4] You manage to convince the poor sod that he can't sit around and mope. His wife wouldn't have wanted that. He thanks you profusely for cheering him up, and decides that the best way he can honor his wife's memory is to do good for anyone he finds. He asks if he can travel with you, as he figures it's the best way to find people in need of help. (+1 to Speech, level gained)
The lady has insulted the honor of a paladin. Clearly, she must be evil. Now, I'd never hit a woman, but I won't be hitting, I will be
SMITING EVIL
[1+1] You swing your hammer at the woman, but she dodges it. Her formerly almost-composed face has degenerated into shrill, terribly annoying rage.
"ASSAULT! ASSAULT! THIS BASTARD'S TRYIN' TO KILL ME! HE WORKS WITH THE THIEF! GUARDS!"She continues to yell as she runs waving her hands like madwoman. A nearby guard notices her yelling and walks up to you.
"Ran into Lady Honheim, have ye? I'm sorry friend, I know you're innocent of whatever crime she's accusing you of, but I have to take you in. We can get it all sorted down at the station, eh?"
Your puppy has stopped barking, and is now begging the kobold for a treat, but sadly the poor thing is rather starved itself.
