Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[freckledninja]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ baby turtles

Anything else besides that?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[

What do those do, exactly...?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

It's a smoke bomb.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[freckledninja]

Oh come on! It's not HARD! I bet.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Do you know how?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

He means we're trained in martial arts and stealth.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ nods. ]

...I'm an engineer, specialist in circuitry and steam. I know a little of swords and sidearms, but mostly in theory.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Engineer, huh? That'll come in handy here.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

Well, not as much so without tools.

[ ughhhh all the equipment left at home 8[ ]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Finding tools can be one of our top priorities.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ sigh ]

...I would appreciate it. Given what seems to be the nature of this "town".

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Yeah. There've gotta be some around somewhere in a place like this.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

Like a hunter, or an assassin?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Closer to an assassin, but we skip the killing part.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

Works for me. Sounds like some useful skills.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

Definitely.

What about you? You got anything useful?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

Sure.

[dumping things on the table: a two-handed sword, an assortment of herbs, two small bottles of some sort of potion, and a random jumble of random drops leaves, bug parts, and shiny rocks]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[snappingturtle]

What are these?

[gestures at the potions]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[freckledninja]

[grabs a shiny rock]

Oooooo.........
