Sorry for not writing a view point of Ash, I'm a bit low on time.
To show a gesture of good will, you buy a human fish ration and give a 1/3 of it to Ash. He greedily eats it up, satisfying his ravenous hunger. You eat too.
Ash seems to have completely forgotten why he came over, and instead decides to show you his gear. He brags about his collapsable fishing rod, strangely named Bessy. He reaffirms not to touch Bessy. He also shows you a fillet knife, and an empty money bag. You try not to laugh and smile, showing the maturity you've gained in just a few hours.
You figure having a "survivalist" on the trip wouldn't hurt, and its not like you're are splitting the pay with him. You agree to his request to join and head off to the road.
The buildings turn to farms as you walk. You see less people and the sounds of wildlife become predominent. You aren't sure what the farms are growing, you think the edible part of the plant is underground. You spot various farmers on the field, with Tarticas pulling the heavy tools.
Down the road where the farms end, you spot several people. At this distance, you can't determine any additional details.
The sun is getting low, you estimate you have few hours before it gets dark. You don't know how cold it gets at night, nor what night time predators there are. You could probably make it to the next town over if you don't encounter too many delays.Rani, Zeox, TaiRani asks about a clinic, and Tai offers to take her to the clinic he saw in town. Professor Pine interjects.
"That clinic is the pride of our town. However, it has few supplies not related to treating injuries. The town to the east has a Pharmacy that sells medical drugs, if whats at the clinic isn't found you will find it there."
The group asks about the Virtuamon.
"Well, why don't I show you."
He leads you to the back and opens a padlocked door.
The room isn't too small, but it doesn't provide the virtual monsters ample space. You count about eleven virtuamons, and three breeds.
One is a squirrel with its tail's fur, well you assume it's fur, fused together. Its fur is a jet black and for a split second you swear you saw a spark come off its tail.
The second is a small dog, gray with a white stripe running from the top of its head all the way down to its tail. The dog seems rather tame compared to its companions.
The last breed is a rather disgusting rat. Black, you sometimes spot a thick goop coming from the edges of its mouth.
"Welcome to the breeding room" Professor Pine exclaims. "Here we breed Squax, the squirrel, for 50 pieces. Spwid, the rat, for 50 pieces. And finally, Boach, the dog, for 80 pieces. They have all been pretrained, though the dogs have special attention. If you have any questions about the abilities of said Virtuamons, just ask. That boy Wallace already took a Boach."
Night time is a dangerous time, as it should be. To make it simple and not have people just "sleeping" through multible updates, I'm going to force everybody to find a place nearby and sleep on a specific turn(about 10 turns from now, give or take). Also, while not a new mechanic, I should mention it so I don't get any rage quits. Virtuamon need food too, about the rate of humans, unless in stasis. A day or two(depending on the Virtuamon) without food will severely weaken it and eventually kill it. Virtuamons can eat human food.
