No customers knew any more than you did and several were woken up in the night like you were. When you reach the prison and ask the guard to let you see the prisoners, he asks you what business you have with them. You explain that you just want to ask them a few questions, and when he just stares at you, you lie and say that you are gathering information for the news. This seems to work and lets you in "for no more than five minutes". when you reach the cell you see that they are in fact the men from last night. They don't notice you and are sitting around looking a bit depressed. One is sleeping.

OOC: Do you think you could do the dialogue for them too? It would allow you to direct the story in the way you want or it could just be a few question that aren't much help. If you don't want to I still can.

OCC: Wow im such an adorable newb!

after walking 2 steps bas suddenly realises he might need some food for the journey, but he has none... Thats in his home and thats miles from here!
He sees a lunchbox, the name on it sais Uldrich and its filled with bread and apples! Bas knows Uldrich very very well, he is one of the strongest wood choppers in the whole country! But its not a nice man, he is a bully and sometimes steals bas his food. Time for a payback? He looks around and see no-one but since he is in the wood he cant see far! He sneaks to the table and makes a run for it! Right to the town 2 days ahead. But did he got away...?

OOC: Actually, if you don't mind I would prefer you to handle the dialogue. You seem to have had something in mind with the thief an I'd like that to play out how you imagined.

I grab their attention and ask them about what happened last night. I tell them I only have a short time to listen and try to get as much info as I can before heading back to work.

Inventory
- Ordinary civilian clothes
- Small knife
- Backpack

OOC: Actually I don't have much for these guys to tell you. I've been having a hard time with your character because not much is going on in the city right now due to how well guarded and set up it is. The thief will eventually lead you out of this city but this was mostly to expand the story so you had something to do that night.

Baskingner

OOC: No dice rolls just whatever is most plausible with your character's skill set. Of course I can use dice for you if you like, in which case it will be similar to dungeon crawler.

You sneak over and grab the lunchbox unnoticed, however Uldrich steps out as you are leaving and screams at you to give it back. He's angrier than he's ever been! You sprint away as fast as you can and easily outrun the hulking lumberjack, despite the unusual heaviness of the lunchbox. When you are far enough away you take a quick rest and look inside. Underneath the bread and apples are 2 massive pre-cooked steaks, a bottle with a strange liquid inside, and a small piece of paper. Before you can read it you hear yelling again so decide you'd better start your journey. The first day is uneventful and you stop to eat an apple and some bread for lunch, drinking from a nearby creek. You set up camp for the night under a large maple tree.

Lava pours out of the hole and kills you! JK
You climb into the hole which goes steeply upward and goblins which came up behind you ran away in fear, a bad sign. After about five minutes of climbing a giant insect that looks like a cross between a mantis and a bee comes from a side passage and tries to attack you! It manages to get one bite in before you slam it in the face with your flail, killing it instantly. You the push it aside and keep going when finally you emerge through to the surface! You are in a small valley and can see a cave entrance nearby, presumably the actual escape route. There is a small path going from the cave entrance to a larger road and a river a little further down.



OOC: Sorry I couldn't post today, had some stuff going on.

[Baskingner]

OCC: no dice rolls is fine but is there a "fair" way to die then? Like when we take a wrong decision or something?

After ourunning that walking muscle bas is exhausted and after half a hour he can still feel his heart beating in his throat, he sees a little tree near a river and decides he will camp here tonight.
After eating a nice juicy apple and some bread, bas notices there is more in the lunchbox! 2 big pre-cooked steakes, many people would be very happy with this discovery but bas doesnt like steakes... He is vegetarian (OCC: haha sorry i HAD to do that). But next to the stake he sees a little paper, is it a note? Bas decides that sleeping is more important, he will read it tomorrow morning

I stop for a minute to mourn the loss of my home, after a few minutes I get up and go down the road and eventually I reach the river where I stop to fill up my flagon before continuing.

Don't worry; back in the dark ages steaks were worth a lot of money so you can sell them.

In the morning you have an apple for breakfast and read the paper. It's a recipe for a strength potion! 1 Siltroot and 2 oak leaves ground up into a powder and boiled in a mixture of water and apple juice makes a small potion that lasts for 2 hours. "That must be what this little bottle has in it. You remember that siltroot and oak trees are all over the woodcutters camp and apples are the main food that you are given. "This must be how Uldrich is so strong!" you think. You pack everything back up and start on your way. After a couple hours you run into a traveling merchant.

His wares are:

• 2 firestarter kits (single use) - 6 silver each
• 1 fine steel shortsword (high quality) - 24 silver
• 7 apples - 2 silver each
• 1 mortar and pestle - 7 silver
• 2 Siltroot - 4 silver each
• 3 sapthorn thorns (rare) - 14 silver each
• 2 rubies - 26 silver each
• some random useless trinkets (if you actually want to buy one tell me and I'll give you info)

He is also willing to buy things.

OOC: Gems such as those rubies can be enchanted by an enchanter and socketed in weapons.

You fill up your flagon and see a sign further down the road. In one direction it points and says "N Beywick". In the other it says "SW Dalivik". You wonder if anyone from the town survived, but at the same time dread going back for the fear that the goblins will get you. You also feel a little sick, and splash your face with some cold water from the river to help clear your head.

I think you mentioned those earlier but I don't think it would be in the spirit of the game for me to go back and look for what you said about them so I'll just pick a random one.

I decide to go to 'Beywick'; that has a nice ring to it, while walking I look around to make sure nothing comes from the forest to attack me.
