They catch the chicken. They rip it apart and start eating it raw. Their faces and chins are red with blood Streetwise roll, difficulty 23 - failed You can't stop yourself crying out in disgust. They hear you. Before you can react they're on you. They pick you up, and throw you into a deep pit. You fall for hours. At last you land on jagged rocks. You feel agonising pain, but are surprised to find yourself still alive. You look around, and see a cackling, hideous grey creature. It strikes you with a cruel whip, demanding you join a procession of similarly bloody and bewildered captives.  You are set to a pointless and unending labour, carrying rocks from one place to another. Your skin is burned by flames, and your eyes sting from the noxious ash in the air. The overseers visit hideous tortures on anyone for so much as wiping the sweat from their brow, or for no reason. A howling wind stops you talking to anyone, and the gruelling labour seems to weaken rather than strengthen. You cry in despair as you recall stories of the Land of Thin Flowers, or the World Lit Only By Fire, the place of punishment of the wicked dead. Stamina -3 Heroism -2 After a time you notice that the demons, who you thought the masters of the place, are also captives. You see one set to work, upon which it loses its demonic form and becomes a 'thin flower' like yourself. You see a fellow captive given a whip, and he becomes grey and demonic. The sight revives a spark of hope in your tortured mind, and you begin to consider escaping. Try to become an overseer Try to work with other captives Try to run away pre:

You find that you can make yourself heard if you speak directly into another's ear. Streetwise roll, difficulty 20 - failed Charisma roll, difficulty 20 - failed You gain the angry attention of a demon who seems to be in charge. As with all other offenses, the punishment is horrible torture. But this time it's too severe for whatever magic is keeping you alive here.  RIP Bright Skin Young Jewel  RIP Piteous Mew  Died because he was a hideous lizard man with no social skills or awareness. So he was a goon.

mycot posted:So is there any ending/goal to this game other than death? I've reached an 'end game' multiple times since yesterday. It generally ends either when you die, or when you're in a position so secure, there's no logical reason to adventure anymore. I could give specifics of the four I've found, but you know, spoilers.

I say we go for The Wizard Rincewind, for two reasons: 1) I'm bad with names, 2) It's the only one with crap sea-skill but high Heal. I want to see what happens when you succeed on the various healing checks that keep happening.

A small spoiler and I'll edit it out if the OP wants but if you dock in town, you get entire sets of 'set out to sea' missions just like the 'travel inland' and 'explore town' ones. They're pretty hilarious too. For this reason, I vote for a Pirate named Neckbeard

 n a clear morning, before even the seagulls have woken up, you make your way to the jetty to set out for the great city of Karrakara. Your ship, really a coracle with ideas above its station, slips into the water. You look at your small pile of cowrie shells, the islands' most common currency. You wonder whether you should return some to the sea god Numen Mari, to ensure a safe journey. Do so Decide not to pre:

Luck +2 Karrakara is the main town on the island of the same name. You're still outside the city walls but you can already hear the harsh, carping cries of street sellers, which supposedly give the city its name.  The docks at Karrakara have ships from all over the known world, and sometimes beyond. The dockmistress tells you that the fee to dock here is four shells. You protest at this outrageous sum, and she tells you that this allows you to leave your boat here indefinitely. It occurs to you that you could sail to the swamps outside the city and find a deserted spot to hide your boat. Pay the fee Haggle Hide your boat in the swamp pre:
