RECENT UPDATE:
While on MSN, Lord Roper has decided to let me have the little long sword (ta muchly ). With my scientific nature, I shall fix the sword near the end of the Cane (not right on the end, though, so that the laser ability still works) meaning I can now fry, bash AND slice. Life is good when youre clever.

Alex, one question, how can you feel disturbed by Sarah scarring herself after typing what happened in the match between Big Foot and the darlek in The Wars Incarnate?

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

interesting question that... maybe its because they were killing each other not themselves, besides couldnt you use a magic staff like everyone else?

Anyway:

The party advance down the hill, all there stuff in tow and come upon a curious creature. It resembles a stick thin man with the head of a wild boar, but the boar has no eyes. Additionally it has 4 arms, 1 pair being normal but the other pair ending without hands but instead with what can be best described as a tuba end.

He isnt carrying any obvious weapons and has a massive pack upon its back which should really weight about ten times as much as him.

What do you do?

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

Prof, run a foe-checker on him and that bag if possible.

Everyone, whatever you do, do not touch his bag, not even if he asks you to help him, some bags are cursed to be permanently attached to the wearers back. The fact that it looks like it should be ten times his weight looks suspicious.

If the foe checker comes out ok, talk to him, but DO NOT TOUCH THE BAG, not even once. If he should want to give us something, he can take it out of the bag himself.

*laughs at reaction consdierign whats going to happen*

The foe checker comes up clean, the bag is filled with lots and lots of random junk. The one item you will most likely be interested in thou is that he appears to be a member of the great guild of merchants, he has an official dna encoded, fingerprint matching id card

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

And we trust official membership IDs in a pretty much lawless land why?

Ok, im still wary but talk to him.

Alex, Sarah is not killing herself, each cut is a precise cut that brings her no danger. And why not a staff? They are so cliche

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

lmao, just thought of who the piskie reminded me off, it was a small Groundskeeper Willie

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

Well, I dont trust this guy. I think we should talk to him and see what hes selling, but spread out a bit so we all have a clear shot.

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

i try and proove to you hes an innocent merchant, but from only having encountered a pair of pirates and a piskie your making a lot of assumptions
about how lawless it is, anyway

Anyway i dont have time to do this tonight so tomorrow, basically

As for why i dont like it ive known some people who have selfharmed so its just a bit close to home for my liking, anyway i could just do soem form of plot twist whereby you no longer need to do that or you can cast it through an enchanted xylopohone i dunno

[steven_mcg]

The Oddestsey

Come on, chaps, hes come up clean. Lets get him talking and see if we cant learn more about this fer-eeky universe. We might get a few bargins from him for our troubles, too.

And if he DOES try anything, we can always gang up on him and we can try out our new toys

A) Merchants are never on your side, only on the side of making as much money as quickly as possible. This works in real life as well as games :P

B) Alex seems to want us to trust him too much for me to trust him
