Oh gosh the port city is so BIG!

This is so exciting!!

What're you doin' here? Is it exciting? I bet it's exciting.

If I know anything about port towns, it seems high time for you to pick up some pretty magical trinket that will most likely help you in your quest.

Well fantastic! Let's find a market and get some supplies! I assume that a circle next to your objectives means that that objective is already completed? Also, you may want to consider training yourself to use the sword better. Flailing doesn't sound particularly effective.

...Well I guess I do have to learn how to fight eventually...

If we're going to go shopping, I have a few things I need to buy before we get any trinkets...

Anyway, what should I do first? Train or shopping?

Now Noce, training is important to help you improve your skills so that you may be able to protect yourself and others in a fight. If you wish to be a hero, you will need to do more than hide. After all, a hero should try to learn how to defend others along with defeating the wicked.

But for now, get what you absolutely need first before you start. You can't train properly if you're hungry and ill equiped.

Go to the local bar and hire/befriend a bodyguard. He should be able to help train you.

>>338880
Get some food and stuff first. Can't work on an empty stomach.

>>338879
Yeahhhh, you need a decent sword and a shield. A shield most definitely. Um. That gold coin. It's a problem. You need change desperately or someone is going to take you for everything you have.

>>338880
Let's go check out a boat!

I don't think he'd ready for a shield just yet, but some armor would likely help him. The coin on it's own would be easier to conceal than a bag of them, especially with that fur cloak.

Though I am curious, that sword, where did you get it?

You mean this?

buy some dumbbells. practice whenever you have free time.

>>338880
First of all you should check out if someone has a task they need done, like killing giant rats in their basement or something. You know something that isn't too complex but will give you some cash anyway.

uh, how well can you really see if your hood is so far forward as to cover your cyclopian-eye? I mean, if you're making sure no one can see your eye you've got to make it so that you can't see into the eyes of anyone else, which means it's got to be pretty low in the case of children or short people... do you do a lot of walking into walls? Must make reading signs hard. Maybe you should buy a full mask somehow.

Go shopping for better equipment then go training.

Okay!

>Wouldn't using a gold coin be suspicious?
Carrying lots of money in big change is pretty normal, so it shouldn't be suspicious! It would just look I'm using my pay, or allowance...It would be weird if I had more than one gold coin though.

>Isn't it hard to see through that hood?
The fabric on my undershirt is thin. I can see just fine!

It looks like most of the stalls are open already! What hard workers!

"Hea, traveller. You in need of beverages?"
"Hea. I don't have a flask."
"It's fine, I have stock. A flask is 6 coin, and a dip is just 1."
"Ooh."

It looks like I can afford to shop more than I thought!

let's get some gloves, and a flask, full of course, and then get some jerky! And then let's go look at boats! C'mon, boats!!!!

Oh my god you're so adorable. Make sure you ask him what a serial killer is.

>>340830
Or if anyone knows what he looks like.

>>340822
Lets check out the leatherworkers place after you have picked up some jerky here. Maybe the leather dude has some cheap armour or something as well.

Got to agree. Once you get some beef jerky, I suggest you go to the leather shop, get some gloves and possibly some leather armor. A bit of protection can go a long way.

>make sure to ask what a serial killer is

A serial killer is a single person capable of conscious thought killing 3 or more people.

In a past period of time, this identity was placed upon cyclops, who partook in mass murder and other vile acts upon the countries they visited.

After being overpowered and eradicated, the Crusading Cyclops no longer held this position and such poison became common amongst humans.

There are no reports of mass-murder within the other conscious races, implying weakness and lack of purity in the calm-blooded races.

"...Well I'll just go to the leatherworkers now that I'm done."
"Good luck!"

>>341483
Watch out for killer crazy humans along the way.

Do not take it hard Noce. Every sentient being has the ability to choose their own path. Sadly, your ancestors picked the wrong one just as this killer did. Only thing you can do is do enough good to counter their past wrong doings.

Still, I think you should take his advice and avoid the un-stalled alleys. You are not ready to face such a foe yet.

Avoid dark alleyways and promises of candy as you head to the leatherworker.

>>341482

"--GMPH"
"Quiet, idiot!"

His fingers taste like dirt!

>>349996
Bad touch, bad touch! Bite his finger and blow your safety whistle!

break away get a safe distance away and ask who he/she is and what they want.

Struggle futilely against the stronger arms of in-all-likelihood the serial killer.

Calm down Noce. I think the bugger is cutting you off for another reason. Remain silent for a moment, see if he lets go. If he does, ask why he wants you to be quiet.

If he doesn't, we'll figure a way.

stay silent, he is saying "quiet you fool" meaning being loud in this place is bad.

>>349996
If his fingers taste like dirt... perhaps he is a farmer. Be quiet anyway, it sounds like he's warning you about something.

I would put a hand on your sword just in case.

>>350138
or...A grave digger.

>On your guard, keep quiet like he asks.

"What's going on?"
"The serial killer just attacked. He's probably still in the alleys, so we're keeping inside. Don't know what the hell those damn knights are doing, chasing out the mono-eyed bandits when they got a regular psychopath here. But no, a human CAN'T be worse then one of those buggers."
"Uhm. Yeah, that's right, I guess."
"Just keep inside for a little while. Are you armed?"
"I have a sword, but I need gloves to use it."
"See, practically defenseless. Stay low, little monk."

>>362172
Stay low and follow him! Let's ask who this guy is, he seems legit.

Yeah, do what he says for the time being. But be careful, it's possible that he could be the serial killer.

>>362172
Ask if he knows more about this serial killer.

Don't forget to introduce yourself. You may be considered odd by humans, but at least make yourself seem civil.
