Ask the shaman what animal the Turric are most afraid of.

> You ask the shaman what animal the Turric warriors are most afraid of.
The shaman tells you that the Nakol soldiers are terrified of the "giant rats of Nakol", which you find somewhat hard to believe.

Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist.

You, the Shaman and another local man all begin donning rat outfits. It's not as easy as you thought.
The soldiers charge into the town en masse, screaming and panicking.

Were they already screaming and panicking when they charged into town? Only means one thing...

Hear the screaming and wheezing and hissing of the real vicious Giant Rats of Nakol, as they suddenly pour through the gates and walls, in pursuit of the army, their favorite meal.

You turn to face the giant rats, and so do the soldiers. They seem terrified.
The townspeople look on with fear, some begin cheering.

You look at Grigori, he looks back at you.
Grigori breathes a large plume of fire at the giant rats. The soldiers scream as they run and flee from the town.

We...we won! Achievement unlocked: R.O.U.S!

So we have a firebreathing dragon, a few rogues in silly outfits, and a rat costume. maybe we need to get a little better equipped to brave the dangers of the temple.

You arrive at the blacksmith, and he tells you he has no longer has any ten-foot battleaxes, but he can easily make some for you. He begins to do so.

i'm amazed that the blacksmith didn't kick you out thinking you were pranking him. :black101:

You take out a gold royal. The blacksmith nods, and then begins to hammer out the new parts of the axe. He works at a furious pace. Considering the amount of work he had previously done on similar weapons for the army, you doubt that you'll have this axe for long.
The axe is finished, and he hands it to you.

Doubt we'll have it for long?? This is axecalibur! :black101:

i took a few creative liberties.

You begin to make your way to the local apothecary, not having anything else important to do.
Along the way, you notice the bodies of Nakol soldiers piling up.

Sure is getting mighty corpse-y in this town. the undertaker is going to have some work to do.

Give one of the corpses a poke with your ten foot battleaxe.

You feel a body, and then you pull out a very dead Nakol soldier. You flash your wrist at the guards and the villagers watching this.
Pow! The dead soldier's neck is snapped.

The Nakol soldiers begin to panic and flee. A guard screams to the Shaman, "The 'LIL-TUHN has CRAYNE! RUN!"
The Shaman begins to scream in pain.

apologize and explain it was a cultural misunderstanding, you were acting out a difficult to explain idiom and recognize now that it must appear to have been in incredibly poor taste

and then ask the shaman if he knows any legends about this hidden temple

(Gotta love that blacksmith. "You want an axe twice your size?!? Well I'm fresh out but please wait here, while I'll quickly prepare another one. ")

Look at your hands in confusion and try to explain what just happened.

Let's experiment trying to parse all of that into one long series of actions at once.

Explain that you were acting out a different idiom, and that it must appear to be in incredibly poor taste. once everyone has calmed down, ask the shaman if he knows and legends about the hidden temple. After that, secretly buy a nice gift for Grigori and give it to him.
The villagers seem to accept this, and many thank you. You especially are thanked a lot, and feel very positive about the outcome. You head to the leatherworker's shop, and find a rather nice leather collar for Grigori. You go to pay, but the leatherworker insists that you take it, as thanks for saving the village. You thank him profusely, and present Grigori with the finely tooled collar. he seems pleased.The shaman knows that the temple is several thousand years old, but is still guarded by mysterious people who never come to Sancre Tor. He also knows that there are many traps, and the few villagers who dared to approach it never returned.

That sounds ominous.

Ask your party of rogues if they think they can disarm all the traps in the temple.

also suggest to the rogues that they outfit themselves at the blacksmith on their own dime, we already got them shirts and this aint no gravy train

Gotta say, I am impressed how stable this game seems to be nowadays, when I first heard if it, it was a broken mess, where no action would do anything you'd expect. I guess that's the cool thing about AI content, which actually learns and gets better.

it's perfect by no means, i do edit some of the responses to make things a little more sensible (Sometimes, unless it's funny).

dungeonmaster posted:

> You instruct the rogues to purchase whatever equipment they need from the shop in sancre tor, to make sure they have what they need to deal with the traps in the temple.
The shopkeeper immediately complies, and lets you and the rogues take whatever you need. You have enough for all of your needs, except for spikes.

> You admire the ten-foot battleaxe.
You look at your newfound ownership of a ten-foot battleaxe.
It is of the finest craftsdwarfship. It is adorned with elephant leather and menaces with spikes of obsidian. On the handle is a scene of a dwarf and a bear. The dwarf is commanding the bear.

alright, i seriously got annoyed by the ai when trying to look at the axe. BY NO MEANS PERFECT. but that's what the power of editing the story myself is for! :science:

# ? Jan 8, 2021 00:43

Our lack of spikes will not deter us, after coming so far.

Gather up your party and Grigori, and start out on the journey to the temple.

You hear a shout.
"This way! Protect the prisoner!"
You and your group move quickly to meet the group of five soldiers and their prisoner, about a half hour away by foot.

how the hell did we hear them shouting, from a distance that required half an hour of travel? are they running around with a megaphone shouting?
