Grab another stick, whittle it down into an eclipse emblem.  Discuss with all of us whittlers the joys of whittling.

I'll go into a battle of hard-boiled chess with Kog Haltpast. Because everyone knows that the caravan we're on has a hard-boiled chess set. Everyone.

Ooh, try to whittle an eclipse emblem too. Also mention how normally I just wanted wood for the fuel, but this is fun.

I shall talk to myself disconcertingly, just to annoy the people around me.

You look around, but there's no rocks in sight. There are no cliffs or mountains, just soil. The horror of reality is getting too much for you!

You juuust manage to stave off insanity. It might be best if you stop critically examining the situation for a while.

While you whittle, you gush about how you can't wait to meet some elves and trade handicrafts with them. You look down and see that you've ruined your wood.

Unable to face Denrhymed, you pick Kog. He looks like a tough opponent. Despite this, your opening moves are brilliantly executed and you're already halfway to beating him. He rallies and destroys a swath of pawns, then routes your backup. Finally he traps your queen and king, handily winning the game.

You're inexperienced, but you never let that stand in your way. Your opening moves crack Mikhail's line wide open, then you leapfrog him with knights and bishops. They get trapped behind enemy lines and destroyed, and he follows up by mopping up your pawns with his queen. It's very almost a stalemate, but a poor move on your part lets him capture your king.

You try your hand at an eclipsey-shape, and do indeed make something recognisable, though some would say it's a wheel or a sun.

You mutter constantly under your breath while following other people around, then turn and act innocent when they look at you. Creepy.

Hearing Norrec talking about whittling, I'll take another piece of wood and carve it into a canyon fortress so they can hold up their eclipse symbols behind it.

We should totally just be a roving band of whittlers, going from town to town selling our random whittling projects.  If this is like DF, each whittling project we complete is worth 5DB base value multiplied by the quality.  We should be wealthy by the time we get to Iron!

Also, how is our artifact system going to work.  Like, let's say I wanted to create, Zirilning "Fireburned", the perpetually on fire furnace to heat my inn.  How would I go about that or do I just have to hope I get taken by a mood and get the artifact I want?

I've had enough of whittling for the moment.  Approach Lilast and rouse her with a story about how my Great Uncle Urist managed to buy out a warehouse owner with a wheel of cheese and a bucket of soap water.

I'll greet the guards assigned to us, then establish a sniping area for me on top of the wagon I'm riding. I'll also yell at anyone still whittling for acting like elves.

Give in to peer pressure and start whittling on my own little piece of wood to keep my mind off of things.

You're more used to working metal, but you're good at delicate work. You make a fortress-sorta thing and you nail it to Irony's eclipse, then attach it to the wall of your wagon. Neat.

I'm not sure about infinite energy production, but artifact moods will randomly occur. If you're really intent on getting one, you can get a bonus chance by working constantly for long periods, which will incidentally make you tired, hungry and thirsty.

Though you're not very handy, you work on something handcrafty. Before you can make it too detailed, Mikhail yells at you while waving a crossbow.

You consider whittling, but Mikhail looks serious.


You are approaching the town! You are resupplying, and taking a look at the tavern. While in town, you are guests in a foreign land and should avoid too much trouble. Lilast is in charge!
