>See about getting a job in management of a mine, mister bergman?
Getting a job at A mine could be an option, management however is an entirely different matter. And it's "miss", btw :^) she gets that a lot tho
You come from a long line of paupers. Your father was serf and his father was a serf, as was his, why not go back to your family's feudal lord. No.
You could find another castle to be a bergman at? You're sure that there are plenty of space for a job like yours.
You could join a nunnery like your sister? You were too materialistic and tied to your flesh for that. Besides they had rules for EVERYTHING. What to wear, when to wear it, when to sleep, how to sleep, how to pray, what to pray for, etc. Just too much.
You keep weighing your options as you go through the town square.

Know anything about these other castles and lords?

>skills
Aside from farming, standard-bearing duties, and the recipe for your mother's hawk-eel stew, you couldn't really recall any marketable skills. But that just means you're a blank slate that anyone can hire! Right?
From across the square, opposing a town hall you see a building bearing the goldenrod arms. And not just that, but a merchant's beret resting on a dagger! This wasn't just any guild, an Adventurer's Guild! imaginative, I know
Your co-bergmen - ex-co-bergmen - would tell tall tales of their totally real uncles collecting bounties, slaying witches, and rescuing damsel in distress. Finding another landowner could wait another day!

checking out the adventurers guild is at least something to do while you think about the future. Worst case it's not for you and you just kill an hour or so.

One job could set you for life. Of course, the odds of dying are high. But you've got nothing better to do and you know it.

>Know anything about these other castles and lords?
Other than your family's landowner and your recently passed employer, you do not. Really you were just picked from a glorified lottery. You may inquire about other lords, or the ones who took over the former lord's land later.
You burst through the guild doors and are met with a beauclerk holding a piece of paper... written on it are illegible runes and characters.
Oh yeah, you're completely illiterate! Bergman training never really prepped you for this one. Not to worry, this is a progressive Adventurer's Guild, you are given a beauclerk to guide you through registration.
After fingerprints and various crosses, you now need to provide the final part of the contract. The signature.

>/INFONORTH

>Infestation of what?
Though not a difficulty individually, the pygmy shelled snow-bat can quickly become a problem species if not sent back to its natural habitat due to their high brood number, omnivorous nature, and relatively high intelligence.
They are distinguished by the bizarre feature of their hominind-like faces. As the name suggests, the wingspan tends to range from 20-40cm, and usually weigh up to 35g. Curiously however, apocryphal stories claim of encounters with snow-bats with wingspans as long as 2m, but such stories are rejected by the chiropterological community.
Some researchers suggest eusociality with snow-bat nature - rare for mammals - but evidence for this is spotty, at best.

North sounds easy enough, if they'll furnish a sling or a bow. We may need explosives to finish things off though.

SOUTH, I say. Simply solving a mystery should be nice and safe.

Do you have any padding under your chainmail? Do you have chain gloves and boots? Does the mail cover your entire body, or do you only have the coif (probably should tuck your hair and ears into the coif btw, so they dont get cut off.)?

You call it a "polearm", but it's more like a flagpole you took when everything from your old lord was up for grabs. You hope (keyword) it will be useful in your mission.

>>971365
You are kinda screwed if you get into any real combat. You should see if you can take out a loan for a weapon of some sort (maybe a mail shirt, mail mittens, and a helmet as well). Given the flagpole you took didn't have a blade or bludgeon at the end of it, it is probably decorative and will break if you try to use it as a weapon.

We should probably go with a caravan if we can find one that isn't sketchy, but we should get some essential supplies before we leave.

You and Henry tell the blacksmith, Gail, of your situation and what you need. Henry, a regular customer, is taken to the back to see what she has.

(Noooo the exposed ears were cute.)

you don't seem like you have the physique for plate, so get a hauberk and demi-gauntlets. Depending on the local fashion, a sallet or barbute may be helpful too.

Since you won't have 20 friends, , maybe convert your flagpole into a partisan.

>>971398
(they definitely were, but we should keep them safe)

Agree with the hauberk and demi-gauntlets, although we should get some chain mittens (or gloves if we can afford them).
>sallet, barbute
Given that there are many more types of metal medieval helmets than just these, lets just say a metal helmet that protects the top, sides, and back of your head and can be worn over your coif. Having a visor, or the ability to add a visor, is a plus.

>partisan (type of spear, not a politician)
Any sort of weapon we get should probably be something new. The flagpole was never designed as a weapon and we would be better off getting something stronger. That being said, I would say a halberd would be more versatile while still retaining the advantages a partisan would give you.

Did the witch already catch up to you, or is there something, somehow stranger afoot? Only one way to find...

Grab a targe - can be strapped to your arm and used with your pole, and shouldn't be too expensive either if you wreck it and the smith demands reparations.

... could also consider telling someone that the smith's place has been hexed but THAT IS FAR TOO SENSIBLE A PLAN SO FORWARD INTO MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE.

Faster than you can say, "cursed photon canards" your body leaps towards void! Not wanting to take your chances with the mystery beam, your spear, now stuck to the staircase acts as the one thing from you dropping into the abyss.

So I'm guessing there's no gravity in here. Better take careful steps. You could potentially jump over to another staircase, too, but you'd only want to do that if it seemed like you'd make more progress.

You continue to crane your neck upwards, hoping to get a good once-over all before it notices your existence. Even past the giant's generous chest you finally get a good look at its face. There was something familiar in the giant's cold, alien look, a face that you may have seen before. You probably can't take any chances with it though, regardless of its intentions in the swamp

The blindspot does exist and you choose to exploit and should the giant stop bothering to look for you, it will probably go back to wherever it came. You leap towards the boot gusset, in what could either be considered a brave, or suicidal, plan.

Start climbing a bit. See if you can't ride the boot rather than hanging on

Find a safe spot to secure yourself on the boot so you don't fall off. Thank goodness you have strong arms from all that standard bearing.

You should be resting, but anytime spent not doing anything is time closer to seeing your captor. Mustering up all the strength you can, you pull your arm back and maneuver your foot in a position to put tension on the chain. Doing so, the bracket begins to move into your direction.

Keep pushin'! Give it your all!

However in that last second of movement, your body positions itself out of the momentum of the bearat, the creature now gnaws at the chain. This is probably an easier method of escape.

Don't interrupt his special chew time. When you're free, get up on his back.

You congratulate the good boy(?)... girl? Whatever, as long as it's not eating you, with the added benefit of aiding in your escape you might as well be forever in its debt.

You... don't know. You've grown out your facial before but never something like this, so it obviously must have taken SOME time. One moment you were with Gail going to get something for Ingrid, the next you wake up tied against a wall. Which reminded, where were they?

Right now, the only place to go is out of this dungeon. Maybe far away from whatever's on top of the dungeon too.
Wizards must be to blame.

Of course! And now, with your new trusty steed, you can traverse your prison and find a way out. Before you are able to do that however, you notice the door all away along the other side of the room beginning to open.

Stay low and perhaps you'll pass unnoticed in its fur.

Bearats are normally docile rodents. Their size means that they're not used to being used as mounts but it's unlikely that it would try and buck you off like an unruly stallion. However, with an unknown entity now entering your prison, you feel it best to hide yourself until you know for certain that it's on your side. The outdoor light coming obscures any particular feature, but what it does betray is that the figure is colossal.

Realise you might have been shrunk by a wizard.
Hide and see what the big person does.

First, the capaciousness of your prison. Then, the unusual magnitude of your newfound rodent steed. Now, a titanic being has entered the picture. All of these signs point to one obvious conclusion: something - or someone - has shrunken you. The last thing you remember was going into a supply cupboard with Gail to help Ingrid with a witch. But surely her power couldn't have such reach?
>Hide and see what the big person does.
Unless any sparks of genius can be ignited in your mind, you have no good way of directly interacting with the giant. For the time being, this is your best decision.

Well then observe what this mysterious fellow is doing.

After a rough ride alongside the giant, you hear something that sounds a lot like the opening of a door. The boot has now stopped and it appears it has reached its final destination. What do you do now?
We're now Ingrid again.

You leap out of the gigantic boot while the goliath is unaware of your presence. Unfortunately forgetting the fact that you can't land on your feet with a catlike grace, you fall quite dramatically. Don't worry, you'll recover quickly enough and while you do, you see that that the room is definitely one fit for a giant. A table, a cupboard and shelf and other assorted furniture are all present for what you deduce to be a study and with their great size comes a great distance between them.

Make for the cupboard. Been a while since you ate, right? Perhaps it contains giant snacks.

And your stomach would certainly agree; even in the belly of the beast, a little pick-me-up wouldn't hurt. You make a mad dash for the cupboard, thankful that the giant door has already been opened, and peruse the available foodstuffs inside.

What's the haul?

After jumping towards the cupboard shelf, you're now able to what you can eat.
>What's the haul?
The giant could do with cleaning the cabinet once in a while but you what you'd expect in a kitchen cupboard: bread, potatoes, various other vegetables, grain, eggs, all appropriately resized of course.

Bread and onion, I guess, although some salad oil or chesse would make it a lot easier to take.

Try to pack some for later.

Spill some oil on the bread and enjoy fancy eating, then stuff yourself with the vegetables while you can.

However, from the corner of your eye, you notice a strange set of foodstuffs segregated from the more conventional additives. Moving eyes, pulsating organs - none of which from animals you can recognize, animate herbs and vegetables, all of which were emanating a magnetic energy you couldn't help but be attracted to...

Surely the vegetables can't be bad. Eat your veggies! If they scream when you dice them that just means they're fresh

That's an ominous vibe. Rather than eat strange reagents, try filling up on giant fluffy breadcrumbs.

Wiggling your way out from the clutches of the vines, you quickly evade the giant's attempt of your recapture. Wrestling against the weakened shoots, you throw the tendril up towards the next rack. You fashion the tendril like a rope and proceed to climb to higher ground away from the giant's reach.

Now at higher ground away from the giant and the deadly plants, you finally get a good bearing of just who your pursuer is. However, a new presence blocks your line of vision. Though significantly smaller than the beast below, the woman before radiates an even more intimidating ambience. Coupled with this, the strange foodstuff in the cupboard, her horns, and her eyes piercing into your soul, you aren't just in a witch's den, you are facing down the actual witch herself!
