Me. Turn go up nao
Turn 2!
Head on over to the mayor's house, and try to get a job.
You head over to the mayor's house, probably one of the largest buildings in the village. You climb the stairs to find a comically fat man eating a smorgasbord of culinary delights.
"Oh, a guest? Do come in, do come in and sit; have a bite to eat."
You discuss with the man the state of affairs and he informs you that you could be of some use. [2] To the south of town there is a kobold cave, where a particularly brave example of their species has gathered a clan for a raid on the village. Its name is Jeevus, and the mayor asks you to slay the creature. There will be a reward, he promises.
Plot a way to profit off of war.
[2] Despite your best efforts, you can only conclude that little money is to be made from a war between ragged peasants and poorly-equipped guards.
Present a bet on who can drink the beer the fastest out of the keg. Also, get off the table and stop swinging my mace, for it is tiring.
You get down and bet a few coins on who can drink your beer fastest. A man named Swill-gut Pieter takes your bet. Roll off!
Zolak: 5!
Swill-gut: 6!
You quickly learn why he is called Swill-gut, as he drinks you under the table after a heated duel. At least you did well enough that nobody's booing you.
Exit the inn and search for an exquisite-looking house to rob.
[2] It seems that the village is, in fact, rather poor. You can find no houses that seem suitably plunder-filled.
Transform one of golden coins into a diamond for MAGIC!
[1] You concentrate, but seem to put the wrong kind of effort in. The coin does transform... into a rat. Oh dear.
Concoct a few vials of greek fire.
[3] You work at it, and get close, but you seem to have a few key principles confused, as you seem to think making a regular fire is part of the process. However, several passing Cro-Magnons applaud your efforts.
NPC:
Give me your face!
[5] The rat catches poor Loktar by surprise, and does rather well at an Optimus Prime impression, much to the man's shock. [1] In fact, he does take a good chunk of your face, biting off a nice chunk of your nose, and some of your left cheek.
BACKGROUND:
Guards: 5
Peasants: 6
Despite the guards' best efforts, the peasants break out into open revolt! Rocks begin flying through the air, knocking bloody constables to the ground. A few peasants run up and free the slaves, who take up arms and join the fight.
This could end badly.
