I just needed a break and some dinner, I can write a few more updates tonight I think
I like the fan art, Ricky!
You consider buying a ranger bow but you suppose for now your yew one will suffice. You walk over to the town board and see the following posts:
Travelers beware of ambush groups of greenskins.
A group of local druids is offering payment for a special kind of moss that grows in the forest outside the walls. With the recent attacks they don't want to leave the settlement. You can go to the guild and ask about the job to be shown what the moss looks like and where to find it.
There is a Goblin woodcutting mill built to the north, and the local government wants it to be somehow shut down. A huge reward is being offered.
Livestock and pack animals are being offered for sale.
You ponder what it would take to build a tank. There is much you need to learn before you can accurately guess what it would require, but you know it would need a large engine, large treads or wheels, a lot of armor plating, a control panel, and a cannon mounted on top.
You consider having Max teach Mavrick how to steal, but you don't know if you want to risk getting caught and becoming a known thief in this settlement.
What shall you
do next?
The light blue inverted triangles represent villages. None of them are named on this map, but you know by heart your old home and the nearby human town.
The red X represents your location.
Orange spots represent ruins or interesting locations.
Foothill Village: Your old home, there's no going back now.
Stockton: A Human village, your village used to trade with them frequently. There is a group of local bandits there who want to kill you.
Cryptsocks: A Dwarven mountainhome that you were told is incredibly rich but exclusive on who can even enter. Max is wanted there.
Changedgrove: An Elven settlement that sits at the border between the forest and the plains. It is your current location.
