Find somebody skilled in the arts of... erm... law.  Have them tell me what the contract is for.

[Shade-o]

FuzzyZergling

You leave the warmth of the tavern, and go out to do some good deeds. You meet many sick and injured who have been passed over, and do what you can for them.

You have dysentery.

Lillipad

You wake up, only to be faced by a guard captain who's had his doors kicked in. He tells you that barges have been disappearing near this end of the undersea routes, and he needs somebody to investigate. You'll be facing freezing water, pitch darkness, monsters, and jagged rocks. It's a near-suicidal job, and he can't force you to do it.

Every dwarf has a little toolbelt, with little tools in it. Pens, brushes and little engraving chisels are included.

Samthere

You are struck by sudden inspiration for a new hairstyle. It'll take the underworld by storm!

First, you go to a reputed dealer. He examines the medallion, and finds that it's solid gold. It's quite small, however. It would be valued at about 10☼.

V-Norrec

You head to the glitzier part of town. You feel very self conscious, being a filthy peasant wielding a crossbow. You find what looks like a law partnership, and you head inside. The clerk tries to shoo you away, but stops when she sees the blood and weapons.

She tells you to wait outside a senior's office, where he's having a meeting with an important client. You are left there, and there's no indication that you'll be called for at least a few hours. There's another doorway next to the office that looks interesting...

[Hastur]

Im a noble i have a default skill in it. I'll read it

(I make one of my skills animal carerer)
I buy an iron golem 550
I buy 5 chickens, picking 2 males and three females the fittest ones. 300$
50$ remainder



Question: If i am a noble and i take novice skill in stonecrafting, and i try to make something is the penalty to production skills still take effect? or did i buy that off by making stonecrafting one of my skills?

[Shade-o]

Penalty skills start at -2. Taking Novice sets it to +1. It's like having an extra two skill ranks that actually hurt your efforts.

[Lillipad]

"Look pal, if you need someone for a suicide mission I'm your man, but I'll need a squad of trained dwarfs to help, and at least (1)Chainmail, along with (1)Cart as payment. Deal?"

[V-Norrec]

Discreetly take a peek into the doorway.  If nothing interesting or valuable is inside just approach the clerk and show her the contract to see if she can read it.

[Shade-o]

Lillipad

The captain considers your request.
"How about this. I'll give you a squad of recruits, and I don't have you disciplined."

The recruits are:
Cog, the hammerdwarf who has just started a family of two babies.
Tholtig, the sworddwarf who is supporting his family with his guard pay.
Kas, the marksdwarf who promised her husband that she would be back in time for their anniversary.
Nik, the axedwarf who carries a drawing made by his baby brother.

V-Norrec

You peek in the doorway. On first glance it's an unremarkable closet. On second glance it's an unremarkable closet. On third glance (You are exceptionally bored) you see a crack in the wall with light coming through. It's on the side with the office.

[V-Norrec]

Make sure the clerk isn't looking then enter the closet and see if I can't hear what they're talking about in the office.  Oh and close the door.  If the clerk is looking, ask where the bathrooms are, that ale from earlier is catchin' up with me.

[Lillipad]

"You won't find anyone more willing to jump headlong into that much danger with nothing but recruits, and successfully return in this town. Your loss."

This place is a waste of time. I'll go sweep some crime in the crime-filled section of town. If I kill any WANTED CRIMINALS I'll claim the rewards for their heads. As the Military Academy teachers always said, "If doing things normally doesn't work, then use violence. If violence doesn't work, then you're obviously doing it wrong, or you aren't using enough of it."

[FuzzyZergling]

I have dysentery?
Oh no!

I, being skilled in the ways of self-diagnosis, recognize my illness and return to my abode to drink nice rehydrating ale.

[Nirur Torir]

You should take them. You are all but guaranteed to survive the mission, so that you may feel remorse for their deaths.

[Lillipad]

I can either go become a vigilante bounty hunter, or suicide a bunch of people for no pay... Both such perfect options.

[V-Norrec]

Hey, vigilante wealth re-distributor is my gig.

Gar's Character Template (no shopping till migration time)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Gar Kenduthal (Destroyer Whimworthy)
Gender: Male
Deity: Aned Luckystep, also offers lesser worship to Agesh and Egul (the three seem like they might naturally act together sometimes)
Caste: Artisan

Skills: Skilled Weaponsmith, Skilled Armorsmith, Novice Bard, Novice Brawler
Good Traits: Concentrator, Brawny, Perfectionist, Social Drinker
Bad Traits: Unaware, Unstealthy, Withering Touch, Needy

Backstory: Raised an apprentice (from the exceptionally young age of 12) to an artisan smith in service to a very wealthy duke; prices were never asked, and the craftsdwarfship was always of the highest quality. As such, was raised with a relatively small amount of work, which was very highly paid, and had a lot of free time and resources to booze, wench, gamble and generally carouse. He's been in his fair share of bar fights, after which everyone still conscious would drink and sing together and become blood brothers forever until they woke up the next morning with little or no recollection of it.

Shows little interest in armour or weapons below the quality he's used to working with, but has an exceptional interest in legendary works in those categories.

Wants to leave the mountainhome due to the Duke's financial decline (crime rings have, on three separate occasions, stolen his entire throne room), his mentor showing no sign of dying soon and leaving all the work (and money) to him, and out of sheer whim.

Free Items: 1 Forge Toolkit (+1), 1 awesome Drinky Spider Fight medallion, certificate and commemorative ale-stained bag
Bought Items: not yet

Gar: Thanks the dealer but would much rather keep it. He'll go to get new haircut, then return to the bar with the medallion slung around his neck. Amid roars of delight, he shall share drinks with everyone and tell them grand stories of how he likes to drink! ... AND HE SHALL SING

[Lillipad]

You're an UPSTANDING CITIZEN GONE ROGUE Norrec. The difference is, admittedly, very tiny, but it exists, oh it exists!
