You're a goddamn bum prowling the streets of Crossroads, an once bustling metropolis that has been reduced to ruins after the Stonekin, some bulking creatures with a skin strong as stone, attacked the Covenant of the Sun, a kingdom of the Plainsfolk to the north. This place became a no man's zone, loosely patrolled only by the Shadow Hand, a coalition of thieves, ninjas, assassins and other types you don't want to mess with.You check your Secure Ledger (it is a weird glowing tattoo thing everyone has, it tracks your money) and you only have 1,000 Links left... should be enough to buy food for a few days, but that's it.You're wearing rags and only armed with a stick you found at a dead body yesterday.Are you male or female?> Male> FemaleAlso decide your name.As you walk towards the bar, you bump shoulders with a fucking Ash Raider! These guys are the worst, a massive gang of good for nothing hooligans. He is wearing poorly made plate, even a metal helmet. That looks heavy and clunky, but should give him some protection."Hey, ya bumped on me you fucker! Give me all your Links as an apology if you want to live!"You know it is not really possible to directly steal from someone's Ledger, courtesy of whoever came up with this money tech thing, so your links are safe... but you may not be!> Give him 200 links> Give him 500 links> Give him all your links> Fuck off, I ain't giving you shit> Attack him> Run away> Write in
>>6367018> Male>DISCOMBOBULATE
Rolled 35, 81, 6 = 122 (3d100)>>6367021Your links are secure, but this bandit sure is not!You don't give the bandit time to think, you just hit him on both sides of his head with your bare hands!Roll 3d100 for doing fancy Martial Arts. You have -7 on all rolls.I'm going to roll 3d100 for the bandit. He has +18 on all rolls.Then I'll compare both rolls. Whoever gets more higher numbers than the other side wins.
Rolled 82, 76, 86 - 7 = 237 (3d100 - 7)>>6367026This man? He's combobulated. Time to change that. Watch THIS!
We've got a stick, some rags, and enough money to not starve for a few days. Gentlemen, we are one big score away from aristocrat status.
>>6367026>>6367030You hit the ash raider with such strength that he falls to the ground, his ears ringing from receiving a discombobulation hit on his helmet with both hands. You have hit him with such force that you even damaged your hands somewhat, they are hurting like hell."Motherfucker! When I get you I'm gonna chop off your arms!"The bandit is stunned! He's not quite unconscious, but he won't be able to react for awhile.You use this window of opportunity to push him to the ground!He falls on his back, you kick him and he rolls on the ground then tries to crawl away!He seems really disorientated, but who knows how long it will last.> Keep beating him until he is unconscious then loot his stuff > Try to steal just his weapon, a big rusty saber> Run away, the situation is sorted> Write in
>>6367059>discombobulate him again
>>6367059>discombobulate his neck with our footJust stomp his windpipe in
>>6367059Oh wtf he's still combobulated??? Fuck that...>Discombobulate his ass with our stick
>>6367059Actually, I forgot we have a stick. I'll change my vote here >>6367065 to support anon's vote here >>6367067
>>6367061>>6367065>>6367067>>6367077You beat the shit out of him with your stick. You hear the crack of broken bones a few times as you wreck the man.As he lies dying there you realize you just killed a man!You gotta find a place to lay low.This destroyed city has many abandoned houses, there might be one somewhat intact that you can hide in for awhile.After roaming for a few minutes, you find an unlocked shack.You enter and close the door (there is no lock, just a sliding door).Inside, there's no one. Judging for the few holy books on the shelves, the shack must have belonged to a very devoted man, maybe even a priest. Who has time to read that stuff anyway?You find some food (some old dried meat) and you chomp it.There's a couple beds in the shack.It's getting real late, so you figure, might as well sleep here.> Sleep here, why not> Go find a bar and get drunk> Prowl the alleys, you've tasted killing, you want more> Go back and loot the dead guy's stuff> Write in
>>6367132>Go back and loot the dead guy's stuffI don't know we didn't do this immediately
>>6367132>Go back and loot the dead guy's stuffWhy did we leave his helmet and sword?
>>6367134>>6367139You curse yourself under your breath, why the fuck didn't I loot the guy as soon as I killed him, now some other fucker will grab it.You head back where you killed him, and there is a Crag Dog eating his corpse, but otherwise the loot is still there.You grab his sword and his helmet and the dog starts snarling at you. It is just a puppy, but it has a collar, meaning it has an owner, which is probably not too far away.The blade is rusty, but seems solid and far more dependable than your stick. It is a saber.> Test your new blade at the dog> Hide and wait to see who comes for the dog> Go get some sleep at the shack> Go get drunk at the bar> Write in
>>6367166>> Write in (Find something to feed crag dog with)If their owner doesn't come back then we get a cool new friend
>>6367166>Hide and wait to see who comes for the dog
>>6367256>>6367341You consider finding something to feed the crag dog with, but it is already gorging itself on the corpse of the guy you killed.You hide in a corner and wait.After a few minutes a bunch of guys wearing armor and carrying wooden swords show up. There are about six of them, and one of them is bigger and stronger and carries a heavy backpack."What you found here boy? Ah, just a lone corpse. Shame. Well, we'll have to keep looking."They have a couple more crag dogs and they all eat the corpse. Very little of it remains after they are done - they swallow bones and everything. The only thing they didn't eat was the heavy metal plate boots the guy was wearing, a bloody stump still inside of one that the dogs didn't manage to dislodge. They then start to walk away slowly, though the dogs dart around like crazy.After witnessing this horrifying sights, you decide what to do next.It is three hours past midnight. The sun will probably appear around six.> Follow these guys> Go get some sleep at the shack> Go get drunk at the bar> Write in
>>6367376>Take the boots and try to sell them
