"I think my plan is pretty clear. Prep for questing, then be on my way. Well, I always wanted to be able to go on a quest...even if this wasn't how I wanted my first quest to start..." "Hey, big guy, you got a faceshot for you yet?" "..." "I guess it's up to me, then. I'm introducing a neat little element of this game called a 'luck roll'. Whenever there's something the GM hasn't prepped for, or wanted to keep flexible on til the last possible moment or whatever, he rolls a d20 to see how well this turns out. Firstly, let's see if I have any friends crazy enough to take on a dangerous quest."[Luck: 4]
"Not one. It's kinda hard to make friends when you live outside of town and train most of the time. And now I'm even aloner...let's get to gear. Those of you paying attention should have noted that I have a basic weapon and basic armor (if you can call it that). 2 gold isn't likely to get a good weapon, but I might be able to get something better than this bodysuit to wear." "I'll head down to Ol' Arty Smith's shop. He used to be an adventurer, and has lots of stuff from his old adventures and various contacts. More importantly, he got along well with Khe--he gets along well with most hero types."
"Hey, Daena. Been a while since Kher sent you up. Sorry to hear about...what happened." "Yeah. It sucks. Do you have anything I could get for two gold?" "Going for an adventure?" "No, I came here to get a cup of flour so I can bake a cake. Yes, I'm going on an adventure!" "No reason to snap at me, young lady! Anyways, Kher left you some of his old stuff. Quoth his will: 'To my apprentice Daenashura, I bequeath my house outside of Plainview and any of my old adventuring gear I still have that no museum or team member wants." "Great! What did I get?"[Luck: 13]
"One Combat Courier's Case; one Robe of Candles; one Sunrod; and one gold holy symbol." "That...is a pretty good haul. Anything I can sell for some cash, or buy once I do so?" "Lemme give you some estimates on what you've got and prices on what seems like it'll be useful to you."Spoiler: Shopping! (click to show/hide)
"If you want something else, ask and I'll see if I have it in stock." "Thanks. Mind if I head out now and retcon in my purchases and whatnot next turn?" "Sure. Oh, before you sell anything, check its stats. Above all, don't sell the Case if you want to be able to bring back more than coins, pebbles, and maybe a couple accessories as loot." "Alright, let's check out that temple to Relope."
"Greetings, Daenashura. I'm sorry to--" "Yes, it's sad. Shut up. Listen, I was thinking of heading into the Great Wood for some kind of quest. One with enlightenment, mourning, reconnecting with my roots, monsters to kill, stuff like that. Any advice or help or something you can offer?"[Quest Luck:16]
[Aid Luck: 2]
"I've got a few great quests I can tell you about, if you take it in the name of Relope. That means you can only pray to her, not to any other deity, and that you need to tithe 10% of your treasure to the church. This will be enforced by us sending an acolyte along. The acolyte will need to be kept safe!"
Party
Spoiler: Daenashura (click to show/hide)
None!
Alright, obviously there are two decisions to make. One: Do you take the priest's offer? Two: What are you buying from Ol' Arty Smith?
