I signed up for this? I suppose I vaguely recall something like that? Well here!

The Romantic Empire
I swear, I have had it with this town. If one more person tells me to keep away from their kids I WILL EVISCERATE THEM. Yes my name is Candyshack, what of it? I need to get out of this stupid town before I start stabbing someone with this pathetic excuse for a sword.
I head over to The Glorious Strap. It houses The Group of Rubbing. In the Empire of Romance. By Cáccast I hate this place. So much hate. Still they have a ton of extra equipment and I am happy to help them clean up. I get myself decked out in some decent gear, though it is a bit heavy. Maybe I should practice a little…
Ow! Ow! God, what is wrong with these people? I only threw a sucker punch at the Lady and they're all trying to stab me now! I throw my arms over my head and run outside. I wait a few minutes for them to calm down, before heading back inside. These people need to take a chill pill.
The Lady is running around in fear, but it seems the guards are chill with me.
“Life is, in a word, Death.”
Good to see you too Mori. I ask her to join me on my adventure and she agrees to come with. I think the first step towards not dying is further improving our armor. There’s a dwarvern settlement relatively close, and they might have some steel gear I could use.
I saw some guys hanging around and I decided to talk to them. Mori on the other hand wanted to slice open their guts. The poor axewoman, just out of nowhere Mori charges and cuts her down. Turns out that with all this armor, I can’t even reach the bowman before she cuts him down too. The woman is savage. She also talks in the third person.
We have to wait for nightfall to cross the ocean. So I walk around our island talking to travelers to see if there’s anyone Mori won’t stab. She kills three of the four people we run into. The last one I managed to stab.
After crossing the ocean, we see a dwarf. I’ve never seen a dwarf before. I think I want to catch it.
It tries shooting me. Why does everything keep trying to kill me? I just wanted to catch it! I wanted to keep it alive a little longer, but Mori cracks its skull open after it passed out.
I get a little thirsty but it’s nighttime and there’s only ice in the bucket. I lean over and…
I’ve fallen down the well. And I seem to be having a little trouble climbing back out.

The villagers decided to pull me out eventually, probably because they didn’t want a corpse fouling their water supply. After almost dying of pneumonia, I’m well enough to head off again.
We run into some dwarves. Mori charges forth, too fast for my armored self to keep up. She loses a foot by the time I get to her and is unconscious, while the dwarves try killing her, but her Iron Helm does its job well. They are too focused on her and I get in a cheap shot, impaling the spear dwarf’s skull on my sword. The other yields. Pffft, as if.
I follow the poor thing around beating on it and tearing out its eyes. Good practice. Unfortunately I spend a little too much time chasing it around and I lose track of Mori. Her foot is where I last saw her, so I take that, but I can’t find her.
I travel and find a whole encampment of these dwarvern creatures, with what looks to be a pile of ill gotten gains. This was quite the moral quandary. They were clearly not hostile towards me. What would Mori do?
Stab them. Stab them REALLY HARD.
It seems they didn’t really care about the mace dwarf I killed. In fact one wrestler wants to be my ally. I graciously let it accompany me. I kill some of them, and let the rest scatter. I begin wandering as it seems the dwarvern settlements don’t have anything of value.
I thought Onget would be a much more boring companion than Mori. She’s beginning to grow on me.
Looking for somewhere to go, we hear ominous noises in the night, but unable to find them we flee. Later we see some…hamster people? I listen in on their conversation…
Well screw you guys too! Eat bronze longsword, fur balls! We slay them and I think we’ll take a break in ‘Shaftbreach’ in the ‘Steppe of Hushing’.
Sorry for not noticing earlier, but here it is
