Not getting out of it that easily, huh...? I think as I turn back to the Troll hunter. "If you think you have to have all this back-up to take me on, so be it. We'll fight here and now." The Troll is raising her fists rather than a weapon. Huh? If she's not using a weapon, then I guess it wouldn't be very sporting to just whip out the rifle and shoot her. Especially in front of a bar full of witnesses.
Maybe I can beat her into submission and make her leave town? Yeah... maybe if I had another hundred pounds of muscle. Regardless, I raise my fists myself and watch the Troll for a moment, then feint a left jab and follow it with a right uppercut towards the stomach.
[5] [1x2=2 damage] You feint a left jab, and then, the Troll get hit hard in the gut with your right fist. Unfortunately it feels like the Troll is made of Steel and she doesn't even look that damaged. This isn't going to be an easy fight.
Activate my ring of light and head down the passage that looks the most promising/recently used.
[6] You activate your ring of light and look around. The half lit passageway at first looks promising, but the level of dust on the stone floor in both directions is the same with no noticeable disturbances. . . if you had to venture a guess the half-lit path uses torches of ever-burning and is always half-lit. You sigh and try to think of another way to decide which path to go down when you hear the passageway behind you closing. Looks like you won't be going out the same way you came in.
I ask the librarian if there are any books that can help with demons.
[6] You ask the librarian about their selection of books regarding demons, the librarian sighs and says "I'm sorry but I'm dreadfully busy in that section right now, somebody decided to destroy a book you see." With that they shuffle off and leave you standing there.
((With the Demonicon destroyed there really is no more information to glean from this place))
Go seek out the eternal Troll in hopes he would know something about this old language...
[4] You head back to the inn into. . . Sentinel's room now you guess. He is sitting on the bed, with a newer cloak draped around his body and wearing more modern clothing, it appears as though he's getting younger too, which is odd but you don't really feel like questioning the magic behind whatever he's doing right now as he's had centuries to perfect it and it is probably very technically complicated.
You cough a bit to announce your presence and Sentinel opens his eyes and looks at you. "Ahhhh, Dor'lek, whatcha be needin'? I been workin' on regainin' some of 'da strength Kazzamier stole when he entered 'dis world. As ya might have noticed, it be goin' pretty well."
Nod and leave the library. Find a random companion (excepting Ochita) and help them.
[3] [1 (Roll to see who to assist, represents first post, a.k.a. Serious)] You don't know why, but you feel like drinking heavily and for a long period of time. You head over to a local Troll bar, you've always gotten along pretty well with Trolls, as they support the Zealots and you've always been affiliated with them. As you enter you see Malgun fighting with some female Troll. You walk up to the bar and order a beer. As long as it's a fair fight, it's probably best not to interfere right now anyhow.
Smack my head repeatedly on a table while trying to come up with a way to translate the book.
[5] You smack your head on a table while trying to come up with a translation for the book, suddenly inspiration hits you (at the same moment as the table) and you start writing down your new theory for how to translate the book. [1 out of 5, -3 = failure]
Enemy TurnsTroll Bounty Hunter: [3] [6/2=3 damage] While you land your punch against the Troll's midsection, she aims a devastating cross for your face. Luckily you see it coming and move to minimize the damage. Your jaw still hurts but you avoided the worst of the punishment.
