I suppose I should get this going again. Sorry all, I was busy being Draignean's gun-image-maker slave.
Ashton considered the dragon for a few moments. "Can you follow me?" he asked, patting his leg with his free hand to indicate it should come to him. If it understood, he would lead it back to the cave, show it the gauntlets and Kirion's body - specifically the fact that the hands were made for these gauntlets - and indicate this man had killed its relative... then let it eat the corpse.
[Understand: 1]: It doesn't understand that you want it to follow you. [Luck: 6] It still follows you, though. That's one friendly dragon. It's amazing it survived this long.
You lead it back to the cave, and show it the gauntlets and Kirion. [Understand: 1] Obviously you are not the best at communicating to that dragon. He [Fear: 5][Anger: 5] backs up into a corner and hisses threateningly. He seems both extremely scared and extremely angry at you. You'll have to do some smooth talking if you want to make it your friend.
Also, say hi to the chaos again.
+1 Chaos.
Location change: Deep Whispers: Dragon Cave.See what the blacksmith would pay for various items in my inventory. Mostly the spear, shield, and shortsword, but also the wine if he's into that.
Levelup: 2 points in Intelligence
You attempt to sell those items. Do remember, however, you are very likely selling for less than those items are worth. He does have to keep in business, you know.
Spear: 5 gold pieces. [Intelligence: 6+2] You can tell it's worth 8 gold.
Shield: 1 gold piece. [Intelligence: 1+2] You have a feeling that you're selling it for some amount less than it's worth.
Shortsword: 3 gold pieces. [Intelligence: 4+2] You can tell you're selling for about one gold piece more than it's worth. You sly negotiator you.
Wine bottle: He won't pay for it. [Intelligence: 4+2] You can tell besides your horrible bartering with this one item, the blacksmith doesn't really want it anyway since it's worth around a few gold coins anyway.

Now Beginner in Conversation.Action: Chain vomit till plot happens
You vomit, loosing 4 turns on your drunkenness. You don't feel good enough to vomit again; you need more substance.
If you want more plot, you really should, you know, look for the main quest continuer. Or Dostricht. Come on, put some effort into it, it's not that hard at all. I'm not going to babysit you that far.
Status change:Moderately Drunk>Somewhat Drunk: 2/5 drunkenness, -1 to talking to non-drunks, -1 to mentally intensive actions, -1 to running away, 1/12 chance to fall unconscious per turn, -1 to-hit.

Can attempt to throw up to speed up drunkenness loss.Politely ask somebody to pour water over my until I de-mutate.
Yeah, I guess wine would work too. However, you have to actually drink the wine, since washing only washes off the surface of the chaos, not all that chaos inside yourself. Though I'll be nice and consider that to be what you wanted to do.
Replace wine with water.
You drink some water. Removing 4 chaos and your Uncontrolled Mind Reader mutation.

Action: Go towards the city, ready to fly off if I meet anyone.
[Navigation: 1+1]: Somehow, despite being in the air, somehow you find yourself back at Deep Whispers.
You seriously, seriously need to learn how to navigate. You could end up in China if you were trying for Mexico.
Also, you lost enough chaos to loose your motion-sensing eyes.
Location change: Chaos Hollows entrance.
-1 Chaos.
Lost Mutation: Motion-sensing eyesight.Continue trying to hide in the rocks, then fall asleep.
[Hide: 4] In the nick of time, you hide, then fall asleep. Avoiding a very, very painful death. You're still surrounded by Accurarwa, though.
Of course, since regenerating all your health in one turn is silly, I'll just have regeneration on a per-turn basis.
You regenerate 3 HP. You may choose to wake up at any time. Also, you are now less full of water.

Yippee.
Lie there. Get to know the woman beside me.
She blushes, then tells you that she should've been somewhere by now with [Coin flip for Husband: Yes] her husband.
...Oops, that could be bad.
She then has a face of "oh shit" and leaves before you can ask her anything.
This will totally not affect your future in any way, right?
...
This will totally affect your future. You have a severe sense of dread.

Because I have no idea on what do do right now...
Look around for quests. Continue the main quest. Greet the starting group. Round up the starting group. Do naughty things around town. Dude, come on, be creative, you're not stuck in a dungeon or something like that.
Anyway, I noticed quite a few horrid mistakes in everyone's statuses. I'm not taking the blame, you guys are. It's your responsibility to tell me if I screwed up. Please, check your status every time it changes even a little (AKA you get
Bolded Text).
And finally, a question: Are you okay with me reworking the system if I feel like it? Just a question. Be honest, I won't blame you if you aren't fine (happened in my last RTD).
