The Illuminati

Brix had his adventure last night. So instead he'll play the role of the bard and regale all the young goblins with the tale of his epic adventure.

Alright, expect some updates tomorrow and a Brix post!

Had some issues with the internet but I'm back now. I'll start reading tomorrow and post as needed.

Frisk
"Yess! That's the spirit," the goblin exclaimed excitedly with a large, jagged smile. "This is certainly turning into a quite a lovely morning!" Reaching behind him, never taking his eyes of Frisk, the goblin pulled out a bag of gold coins before pouring them all onto the bar. Tossing the now empty coin purse aside, the goblin rifled through the pile of gold pieces before holding one up for Frisk to see.

Priestess Akta
The temple of Gaia and Dendron, the elder gods of Earth and Tree, was buzzing with activity today. Many had come back from the deadly forest wounded and injured. Others were simply there to do their weekly shopping, trading herbs and potions for favors and gold pieces.

"Bless you," Goblin K gushed as Akta tended to his wounds. "The pain is already easing -- thank you!" Just across from them though, things weren't as polite.

"Rrahh! No!!" Hobgoblin Ghu screamed as Akta walked over and stood beside her apprentice. The acolyte answered Akta's silent question by explaining that the wound had turned to rot and wasn't healing properly. Which meant that the hobgoblin's arm would likely have to be removed. "Don't you dare," the hobgoblin screamed again. "I need that arm!! I'll kill you if you do. I swear it!"

Studying the patient for a moment, Akta then raised her arm and turned her fist into a spiked mace of wood and stone. Swinging down faster than the hobgoblin could see, she crushed Ghu's head -- killing him instantly.

"Cut off the arm and feed the rest to the plants," Akta said simply to her acolyte. "Give the rot to the ghouls."

Blacksmith Mocharr
When Bayaal and Fii arrived, Mocharr had their items ready for them to inspect:
- A bone greatsword.
- A few bone daggers.
- And pair of medium armors.

Each items was designed to have teeth, just in case the couple needed to saw something. Bayaal and Fii then explained how they needed a new place to stay. At first thought, Mocharr considered suggesting that they pitch a tent somewhere outside of the village. But then she remembered that she had agreed to mentor Bayaal in the ways of the weaponsmith, which meant that he would have to spend a lot of time at her forge. In the end, it just made more sense for them to stay in the extra room she had behind the shop. This was where she lived before she moving in with Akta at her temple.

"Okay, you can stay in my old room. And starting tonight Bayaal, we will begin your lessons."

Frisk
"What kind of game? Why, only the best of games of course!! The drinking game," the other goblin declared confidently. "The rules are simple. I flip a coin. And while it is in the air, I call 'skulls' or 'crossbones'. If I guess right, I'll pass the coin to you. If I guess wrong, I take a drink. Then it's your turn to flip the coin. We keep playing until one of us falls off our stool. Easy, right?"

OOC: I'm adjusting everyone's damage. So instead of +2, it's now +3. That way you guys can kill the rabbits with one swing each.

Dar's health: 3/4 HP

They do, but I'll add those in after I see how things go with me not playing the role of the horned rabbits first. I think once you guys get the hang of things, we can increase your stats and the number of rabbits per encounter.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out to make sure your health is where it needs to be after every battle.

I'm confused....how do I determine how much I have and/or what the items were worth....Check under what Mocharr will pay for the items when she buys? Math was never my strong suit. = o

Blacksmith Mocharr
Once Dar explained that she didn't feel quite ready to wear Mocharr's heavy armor, Mocharr nodded and gave her Wargo's medium armor to try on instead. Using the dressing room in the back, Dar tried the armor on while Mocharr dealt with Rend.

Rend seemed far more interested in getting good value for her items, so Mocharr explained the cost of everything Rend had and a little more. It didn't take Rend long to realize that she didn't have nearly enough to trade for weapons and armor, but Mocharr explained that Fluffy had already payed for everything. Basically it was their reward for surviving their first day in this world.

Dar was soon finished trying on her new armor and came back out to grab her new warhammer. That was when Mocharr handed her a bag of gold coins -- the cost of all of her items, minus the fifty gold from the night before. Mocharr also told her that the warhammer was a good weapon, and that all good weapons should have a name. Once Dar was gone and Rend had had some time to think, the two finished their business together and parted ways.

What Mocharr will pay for items she buys:

That was only for the rank-ups. If your gob had to earn every blessing in the RP, they would never find the time to evolve. What I'm talking about is buffs to your health and damage, so they won't affect your rank-ups.

@Faye: Yes, you'll need to uproot your little garden when you move, if you want to keep it.

Oh? I thought I can have 2 blessings at once, but will need to pick a major one later on or risk being forsaken by the Gods for being an unfaithful bastard? XD
And since the 2 blessings are pretty much opposite, would that not incite the wrath of the Gods?

The minor gods get along better with each other than the more powerful gods.

If you have a minor-, major-, and a superior blessing, then that's three. If you have three minor blessings, a major- and a superior blessing, then that's five. So if you're smart, you can definitely have more than two blessings.

Think of it like this: A girl is dating a guy. One day she decides to introduce him to her father. The father doesn't like the boy but since they're just dating, he doesn't really care. If she announces however that they're getting married soon, then the father suddenly cares very much and will do anything to destroy the boy. If both men are equally powerful, then they will turn their attention to the girl instead and try to get her to see the other as the villain. If they can't, well then the only logical thing left for them to do is to kill her because the gods are petty and don't care about mortals.

Mocharr, White Orc Blacksmith
After cleaning up Wargo's blood and then closing her shop for the night, Mocharr decided to pay a visit to the Lakeview tavern for a well-earned drink. Before too long however, she started wondering if Dar had made it to the Akta's temple safely. Thinking it was better to be sure than curious, Mocharr left to pay her silent lover a visit. As usual Akta was deep in peaceful meditation while her apprentice tended to the wounded and injured.

Looking around a bit, Mocharr quickly found Dar who was sleeping deeply with a smile on her face. Walking over, Mocharr sat beside Dar awhile before deciding it was time to leave once again. Patting Dar's head goodbye as the younger goblin's hair grew before her eyes, Mocharr quietly made her way over to Akta before kissing her on the cheek. From there she went back to her shop to begin working on the next day's orders. Sleep would have to wait until later that afternoon.

"Good morning, teacher!!" Dar cried a few hours later, startling Mocharr who had lost track of time. "I came to collect a weapon that you promised."

"Good morning to you too!" Mocharr replied with a smile, as she noticed just how tall Dar was now and that speech had also improved during the night. Walking over to the young goblin from her forge, Mocharr added, "My-my. Just look at you!" Mocharr said as she squeezed Dar's muscles. "Just one more day and you'll be all grown up. Now, where did I put your special gift..."

Leading her inside her shop, Mocharr left Dar to find the latter's warhammer while Dar placed the rest of her items on Mocharr's counter to trade. "Is this all of any use?" Dar asked once Mocharr had returned. Looking through her items, Mocharr told her that they were just enough to either buy leather armor (medium) or bone armor (heavy). While Dar decided what she wanted, Mocharr gave her her present.

Here's the list of items you can expect to find as you explore the forest, and their cost.
