I started with a "Play Now!" character, on a world modified to have lots of caves and megabeasts, perfect for adventures. The first few times I played, I was horribly mangled and killed by random wildlife. After spawning a long ways from the main human civilization, I finally got fed up and decided to start a killing spree. I managed to rip one child's throat out before I was punched to death by 10 peasants.
My next adventurer, I spawned in the capital of the main human civ (yay!), but I didn't feel like trying to butcher and sell everything to get enough money to buy steel equipment (modded). So, I grabbed as much as I could and ran to the next town over. Since I'm marked as a criminal, nobody will talk to me.
The next town over, there's a river running through the middle with sloped banks, perfect for training my
drowning swimming skill. After a few dips, I get a message about a Child punching a Hippo
. I look down, and there's a young child in mortal combat with a hippo, and the hippo's winning. Even though the entire town was giving me the silent treatment, I was so touched that I did my best to save the child. I hacked at the hippo with my stolen steel 2h sword and eventually killed it, but it was too late...the child already had several broken bones and was drowning, and all I could do was watch him die
.
I dove in and grabbed the child's corpse, along with the child's corpse from farther upriver (milkfish are brutal!), put them around a tree, and lit the tree on fire. I stood there until they were gone...
Well, that's two that I won't have to kill later once I start my inevitable genocide.
EDIT: Well, apparently the armor shop in the town was unguarded, scoring me a pair of exceptional quality, masterfully decorated steel high boots. Karma
