Inspired from Vent's game, I decided to make my own. This is actually the second time I've done something like this. Mine will be a bit more lethal than his, so be careful.
A Kobold's Adventure
You awaken on a cold stone floor, deep in the Blackcough caverns, and far away from home. There's little light aside from the shroom you picked yesterday, not that you need much of it, since your a Kobold-a small, ratty, lizard/dog creature with the abilty to see in the dark and a sneaky disposition.
You check your lunchbox and find little more than crumbs. Tipping the last drops of water from your bottle reveals much the same. Depressing.
But your still well armed-your spear is a little bit splintered from yesterdays...excitement. The shield you stole is looking a little worse for wear. Must have been that big iron mace what did that. Your bola is hanging from your waist, and it can probably do some nasty damage if you hit anything with it, and if any of those mean Gnomes find you, you've got a surprise for them-a jar of Gnomeblight.
For all the trouble you've gone to to rob the Foothill Village, you've got a little to show for it. A bunch of assorted coins, a nifty Gnomish clockwork time piece and a large tubular scroll case, that you have not been able to open-it's got a little keyhole that you could probably pick if you had the right tools.
Now, you need to get back home-Kweed'Rik'Tik will want his 50% cut of your haul. You know there's three ways from here to get you back to your village...
You can double back into the Gnome's sewer system you just escaped from, and use the secret entrance you used to get in. Assuming the Gnome guards and their pet moles don't sniff you out, you might even be able to do a little more robbing.
You can descend into the Fungal Jungle-assuming you don't get eaten, you won't run into any Gnomes, and you might even run into some of your tribes hunters. It's a long way round, though, but there's plenty of food and water, so at least you won't starve.
Or you can take a shortcut through the Cave Dragons territory. He usually doesn't bother you if you don't bother him. You've even scavenged off his kills a few times, and he doesn't seem to mind if you stay out of his way.
Oh yeah. What was your
name again? That club must have hit you harder than you realized.
