Now apparently there's some kind of old shine or something on this mountain somewhere. I hope that shady bastard didn't rip me off, but the shady bastards chasing him made him seem kind of legit.
If so, there should be some sign of something nearby.

Anyway, at least there's a cave here, so that's probably something similar to what I'm looking for.

Crawl backwards through the tunnel so you can watch the entrance and any attackers can only bite your ass and not your neck or something like that.

I should fit through there no problem, although I'm not sure how effective going in backwards and feeling around with my tail would be. Probably not very.
It doesn't really matter at the moment, because before I can even get to the mouth of the cave, a huge figure falls down in front of me, blocking the way.

That's if fighting is out of the question.

Consider that this guy is might actually be a polymorphed dragon or half-dragon. He did shrug of your blast furnace breath and caught your blade bare handed. But, if you continue to press the fight, push all your lightning up the blade into his arm.

apply lightning to his balls until they explode.

"Ugh... Okay, okay. I'm just looking for some old shrine buried around here. Have you seen anything?"

He snorts and stomps toward me, "You come here, try to light me on fire and cut me up and you want me to help you? Are you crazy?"

"Minotaur's like crazy. And a good fight. Come on, look at you, I knew you could take it. What minotaur guardian can't take a heat blast and stop a sword like he's made out of rock? Why hold back against a minotaur? Good fight, good fight."

Bullshit him like you knew he would be fine, totally. Or just not give a fuck about him taking offense, ignoring any and all protests politely by completely not acknowledging them.

Acting like an adorable naive hero might be the path of least resistance.

This, except omit the "Minotaurs like" bit and the "Good fight, good fight" bit at the end. Those sound insincere. Also, since he's a guardian, he should be guarding you and your tiny breasts. He has proven himself competent, so he may be your bodyguard as you search for the shrine.

But what does that even mean? Seems kind of silly to me.

it means shoot fire in the air or a spider will kill you to death.

It means that you fire the spiders to death.

Spiders like the one right above you. They can't see you if you don't move!

>>420041
I think you should move to a place where you are not at right now because the place you are at is not a good place to be.

It means unload all your fire-breath at that giant arachnid directly above you, while swinging that great iron butter knife you call a sword upward to slice, or more likely, bludgeon, it. If it doesn't die right away, run away as fast as your little grey feet can carry you, and put that tall slab of minotaur between you and it.

fire breath up, retreat to entrance of cave.

it probably means fire kills spiders. spiders which may or may not be above you at any given time.

Fuck you, I'mma dragon. Fire can't do shi- OW!
AS SOON AS I MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND AGAIN, THIS THING IS FUCKING DEAD.
But, maybe I should use my flight time to come up with some kind of plan. This thing is very large and apparently made of stone.
Giant, fire-breathing, rock spider. I can deal with this. Just gotta think.

you need some mino muscle to hold a limb still then sever it at the joint.

Well we have an advantage with the fire breathing and could handle a giant spider that does that, but the whole made of stone thing is a problem. If you can't penetrate the carapace you're screwed. Best chance is to get onto it's back to avoid reach of it's legs. Then try to stab behind its head and pop it off, or at the spot between the middle and the thorax.

You're gonna need a shit ton of bug spray.

Get on its back, and start bashing with your pommel. If the neck is a seam between the rocks, then you don't need to smash, just..

J-J-J-JAM IT IN

If you can get on the back of its head, you could jam your sword into its eye, or the joint between its head and body; Make a hole, and breathe fire-breath inside it. Jump up and grab onto one of its legs and climb on up there.

Attack its weak point for massive damage, obviously. Alternatively, collapse the cave.

Attacking a weak spot seems like a good idea, but I think having someone who is large and not me grab onto it as a distraction while I do that is even better.

"Hey, Thodren! Want to see something neat?"

"Like what?"

"A giant fucking spider. It's pretty impressive. You might want to see it."

There's a brief pause. I'd really like an answer here. It is coming after me at this point.

I mention to Thodren that he should probably help, since this thing isn't going to stop with just me, but he isn't to sure.

"It's probably attacking you because you disturbed it. It's got to be some kind of guardian, so yes, it probably will stop with just you."

Draw it out of the cave more and continue hitting the legs on that side.

woo, looks like you are actually starting to win, good job!

Nice. Keep taking off bits of it, the fight will just get easier as you do. After it is sufficiently disarmed, go in for the kill.

Jump and plunge your blade into it's brain through the eye socket like you are the queen of all badasses!

Huh. Guess that giant blunt iron butterknife is good for something after all.

Keep bashing limbs off the stone arachnid until it can't move, then smash its head off at the joint. Check if the eyes are actually valuable gems then. However, if it pulls some bullshit like magically regenerative limbs, retreat and try to knock it off the cliff.

Alright, get up and on that spider's left (your right.) Keep bashing at its leg until it's broken. Then keep bashing at any other legs that stick out until they're broken. Then keep bashing at its mandibles until those are broken. Then smash it's eyes out. Then smash its head into gravel. Then smash every-fucking-thing else, 'cause this goddamn spider is going to die, and stay that way, dammit!

get on it's back and sever it's head from it's body

>>420548
Chop that other limb off.
Then: don't break the eyes: pry them out! If they're gemstones they're worth the whole trip!

Ok I got it
"Hey Throden, I know you don't care for my well being but some help would get me out of your face sooner. Just saying."

>>420604
It kinda needs to be dead first, before it'll not complicate that via thrashings and fire.

Move away and see if it still chases you.

> A spider is fine too.
Oh you!

Get up, lazybones, and stab it in the neck while it's squeezing through that hole.

Then explicitly don't share the treasure with Thodren, the jerk.

Attack again from the broken leg side and retreat before it has a chance to start the fire breathing once more. Go for limb and body joints.

I'd just like to point out again THE SWORD HAS A GIGANTIC CRACK IN IT

HITTING ROCKS WITH SWORDS IS STUPID AND LEADS TO NOT HAVING A SWORD

IF WE DO IT ANY MORE OUR SWORD IS BROKE

>>420548

"Throden, quit being a dick and kill this thing."

Can it even angle its head to breath at you from all angles? Get up above it and drop down on its head.

>>420879
What do you suggest? That thing is huge. Rip and tear?

>>420886
Tricking it into the open and forcing theodren to help us shove it off the cliff.

>>420956
The cliff isn't steep enough, however. How about collapsing the cave, now that the spider is stuck?

A) the spider can't go down the cliff as it can't go out the cave.

B) collapsing the cave would prevent Rynh from going into it, which is why we're fighting the spider in the first place.

Just use sword on spider, that was working alright.

The problem with the spider being stuck in the mouth of the cave is solved easily enough when it decides to just smash through and wreck everything.

>smashing rocks with your sword might break the sword

Hm... Maybe. Better be careful, I guess. I just need to hack off a few more legs and throw it off the mountain. Easy, right?

>tell Thodren to help kill this thing
"No way! This is your problem. You deal with it. I'm just making sure it doesn't get out of hand and go on a rampage if you can't stop it."

Good enough.

Hey, aim for the joints you doof! And get behind it. Try stabbing it in the ass. Or hey, maybe UNDER it.

Breath fire at the spider!

No need to get tricky over this thing, just keep hacking away at the legs, staying away from the face and making sure you don't fall over the cliff. If it can fall over instead that'd be sweet, but it's not likely until most of it's limbs are messed up.

Get behind it, stay there, and keep bashing its joints. If your sword breaks... Well, see if Thodren has a weapon you can borrow. Otherwise, run for it.

punch in snout to establish dominance. develope domination fetish.

>>421611
"This isn't a rampage? This is ME stopping it? Are you just waiting for me to die first before declaring it a rampage? Come on, aren't you a minotaur? Fighting this thing should be fun for you! You wouldn't even risk getting hurt, you're more rock hard than IT is!"

run towards him and dive between his legs.

>>421611
This spider is either absurdly stupid or extremely hungry! You're not constricted or paralyzed and can keep up a good fight. Wait. If this thing can just smash through the rocks, why it didn't come out before? I mean, there's a juicy and beefy minotaur right here! Who woke this thing!?

"What about the other way around? What if I beat it and go off on a rampage? Why don't you just help me ditch it off the cliff and nobody has to deal with any rampaging?"

"Hrg... You're a fucking nuisance! FINE! Now get off of me!"

"So eager. You weren't secretly getting pissed off that you were missing out on the smashy-smashy, hmm?"

He seems to be getting a little agitated. "Shut up and start fighting before this thing kills us both!"

People skills are important when you want to be an awesome adventurer like me. Now I get to deal with the damn spider, with a little help.

okay split up and attack from both sides.

>>421654
GET A ROOM YOU TWO!!

Excellent! Now you've got a quarter-ton of beefcake on your side. Now the both of you can proceed to fuck up all the legs on this spider. Since Thodren only has his fists, he should grapple a leg and hold it down while you bash the joint to pieces. Once all the little gripper bits are gone from the ends of the legs, then shove it over the cliff. It won't be climbing back up any time soon.

>>421654
This is pretty much a classic "destined to be best friends forever" picture, right there.

Oh, yeah. The spider. Almost forgot about it.

I don't think it's safe for Theodren to hold the spider. It may be poisonous. He can act as distraction while you hit the weak point of this thing.

>>421654
He has been assuaged by your hawtness. It is truth.

>>421654

After this fight get ready for some hot dickings since all that screaming, yelling and complaining usually leads to that

Time for hi-5s. Ask if he wants to come with you to see what the thing was guarding, or just stay at its post.

You've got him hooked, now reel him in!
"I'll be there's even more fun inside. Come with me!"

Consider replacing sword with some kind of pick, hammer, or mace. That sword's going to start looking like a saw if it chips any more. You need something more durable. Plus, better for smashing open treasure chests and doors!

Maybe I can pawn it off in town?

well it isn't guarded for no reason. be careful you don't get murdered by touching it.

AND WE REACHED THE MCGUFFIN SITTING ON THE THRONE OF MCGUFFINESS. Grab it then screw with Thodren on the altar. NOTHING POSSIBLY CAN GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAN

you don't even know what it is yet

>>423430
Seconded.

Ancient artifacts of limitless power can be glowy blue rocks too, you know. Plus, it's glowy, which is almost as good as shiny. And shinies are great.

Probably ought to take it and get a mage or something to check it out for you.

>be careful you don't get murdered by touching it.
Yeah, yeah. I'm sure it's fine. I gotta get something out of this whole ordeal.
Thodren doesn't seem happy either, but maybe it's more valuable than it looks.

"You almost got me killed for that?"
I just shrug it off, "That's just the way she goes sometimes. Anyway, I should be the one who's upset here. I had to climb all the way up here."

>Get a mage or something to identify it
Damn, I don't think we have any mages at home. I might have to go to a bigger city for that. Maybe I can use it as a lamp or something in the meanwhile.

>screw with Thodren on the altar
What kind of innocent, young girl jumps some guy she just met on some dusty old altar in a dirty old cave? Not me.

Alright, unless there's something really important I should do first, I'm probably gonna head home.

>>423485

Let's bring Meatwall -- I mean, Theodren with us. Who knows; we might make a good team. And worst case scenario, I'm sure he'll be useful for scaring stuff ... or at least hanging laundry on.

You need to have sex with this man. He is a MAN. You like MEN don't you? Big strong MANLY MEN.

>>423485
Heh, figures. Knew you'd never be able to attract him anyways, what with your flat chest and all.

>>423485
Maybe actually apologize for getting Thodren in a potentially lethal situation. Then take it back because he's fucking awesome and can't be hurt. His muscles are more rock than that thing is. You know this because you could actually cut off that spider's leg. IF a sword going at full force can't lodge itself in Thodren's flesh, that implies that motherfucker is immune to most damage.

You don't have to screw him, but maybe if he complains too much about that fight he did you'll have him sit down while you check if it harmed him anyway. Then it's an excuse to fondle a muscle or two to make sure their okay. You were laughing and chuckling a bit further. You know you want to fondle some of them rippling, toned muscles. Man, shiiiiiit, they got a fucking sheen.

Chuck a rock at this thing, then be prepared for a cave-in. It's probably a magical conduit of some sort mage's would be after, or an essential part of a doomsday machine. If we go to a mad medieval scientist convention, we could sell it at a good mark-up. Or in an auction.

Search the back of the altar for secret panels.

>>423485
Is that thing floating above her head?

Anyway, you didn't do it the adventurer way!
You must ransack that fucking cave. Tip over/break open that altar!
See where that damned spider was hiding, maybe it kept stuff!
Scour the walls for secret doors!

Yanno, Mr. Evil Mage who you punted off the cliff was probably up here to get this glowing shard of whatever. Perhaps he was carrying something related to it, like notes. On the way down loot his broken body. At the least you'll get whatever coins were in his pockets.

Brush the dust off the altar. Then screw Thodren on it.

oh yes, loot his magic corpse.

>>423485

Take the bull with you. He might prove a worthy ally and a good lay

>>423485
That rock is magic.
Try to make a wish.

>>423485
Nah. Let's go. Say bye to Thodren, tell him to have fun standing around guarding a cave.

It'd be stupid not to bring someone along that's that big, muscular, and willing to do as he's told with only a minimal of browbeating.

You should maybe casually point out how boring it's going to be here now that everything except him is dead and suggest it might be less boring if he followed you.

He just snorts and plants his little hoofy feet. "You come up here, attack me, make me help you fight some giant monster you provoked and now you expect me to follow you without question like some dumb puppy?"

"Yeah. Let's go. I'm pretty sure all the good adventurers wander around fighting monsters in groups of at least three. So I need to bolster the numbers and you seem like you can handle yourself."

"Are you nuts?"

"Not too much. But you'd have to be crazy not to be a little crazy doing this crap and you jumped right in there. Come ooooon..."

Collar and leash him then pull him with you

engage montage of pestering until he gives in

"Aww, going back to your boring guard job? You can't even get yourself into a decent scrap without me around. Face it, you had fun here. Probably for the first time in a while. There's more fun and tough fights for adventurers and mercenaries than just guarding your damn clan out on the edge of nowhere. What, do the lady minotaurs give you a little nookie for your trouble, or are your male friends all plowing them while you sit out here like a chump? You may even be the strongest of your clan and that's why you got this job, but that potential's going to waste!"

"Come on. Minotaurs are supposed to be all wild and chaotic, doing anything they want, whenever they want to whoever they want!"

He shifts, tenses, snorts, but doesn't throw me off just yet. "Where are you getting this crap about minotaurs anyway?"
"I read it somewhere.", I reply. "Am I wrong? Did you not like getting down to it and punching the shit out of things?"

"Ngh... Maybe.", he grunts. I can feel his shoulders tensing. It might be that he's wracked with indecision or it might be that I'm stabbing him in the back with my claws.

"Of course I will! This is where we live. Are you stupid or something?"

Oh right... He did mention his clan during the whole 'get out or I kill you' speech.

"Well, I mean exotic, foreign minotaur ladies or whatever it is you like. Er... You know? Who can say what can happen when you go off into the wild unknown?"

"Are you coming onto me?"

"No! I'm just sayin'. You could just impress the ladies here at home with all your treasure and stories of your super exciting battles in distant lands."

I go to jump off his back, "So, I'll be heading home on the highway heading to the south-west, if you decide to catch up..."

If that's all, I'm going to head out for home and hope he comes with me. I might be getting into dangerous levels of badgering at this point.

Well tell him it's been kind of fun and that he should stop trying to be such a stubborn, hostile bull. He'd be awesome if he was a bit more adventurous.

Time to head back to civilization to get your loot sold or put to use. Speaking of loot check on the spider and see if it properly broken. Didn't it have gemstone eyes?

oh yes, after getting down there be sure it pop it's eye's out.

>>425845
Welp, you've done all the persuading that's appropriate. Lean over his head and give him upside-down nose rubs for helping you get the treasure, then tumble down and prance away.

It'd probably cost a fortune to feed someone that big anyway.

I've been traveling a while and no eager minotaur meatshield following at my heels. I'm kinda disappointed, I guess. Every adventuring party in stories has a huge strong guy and now I don't have anyone to fill my stereotypes.
Oh well, I got some sparkly thing for my trouble, at least. I'll just camp out for the night and make for home in the morning.

go to sleep while holding it, maybe it will tell you secrets in your dreams.

>>433228
Bury the thing and sleep on top of the hole. Its the only shiny thing you've found and I'll be damned if something snitches your bag in the night and you lose it.

That little shiny is small enough that you could... insert it... into yourself... to hide it. We both know you won't do that, so do what >>433319 suggested and sleep on it.

>>433344
I was beginning to think that I was a terrible person when I came up with the same idea.

And then you posted it first.

I still feel terrible, but now *less so*.

Anyways, yeah, stick it in a hole and go to sleep. Wake up tied up and weaponless. :D

Yes, jam it in.

>>433344
I, too, came up with that idea. It isn't all that unusual a thing to do. Pretty common really. Only a rapist is going to check there, and if you're in the position that a rapist is inspecting you at their leisure, well, you've got worse things to worry about than losing a gem. Most secure place to store valuables, really.

Anyway, getting robbed in your sleep would totally suck, especially if you lost that gem after all the work you put into getting it. Hide it and go to sleep.

>>433447
>>433405
>>433388
>>433344

This is a terrible idea its a magic thing and its been sitting in a cave for years and years with a giant spider monster thing.
If it was meant to go 'inside' then that means it was probably inside someone once already.

Do the dragony thing Rynh and sleep on top of it. Like, buried, or under your as yet unseen bedroll or something.

By the way, are those woods known for anything unusual? We know you're braver and stronger than most but we don't want to be too surprised if like, goblins or wolves or goblins riding wolves or wolves riding goblins show up.

>>433459
The idea isn't to put it inside her because it is designed for such a thing. It obviously isn't. And if I thought it might be, I wouldn't be suggesting putting it in her without getting it identified first. I am confident that its function has nothing to do with going in vaginas. It is simply a secure place to store small, chemically inert valuables. Like gemstones.

>>433478
For a moment I thought you guys were joking. Anyway, anuses are far superior.

"Wait, what trial?"
"There is no trial. There is no book! Drop it! I only kept reading it out of morbid curiosity! Don't get any ideas, mister!"

Now that Thodren has made up his mind, I can have him throw boulders at monsters and stuff. It'll be awesome. I guess there's not much else to do but head home in the morning. Maybe I can figure out what this rock is for.

Hug him or something to show affection.

Rynh, from here on in be sweet and supportive of all those around you. Build up a team in a positive fashion, encouraging their progress and strengths. Become an awesome, admired leader.

There's another good reason for having him along.
Now you don't need to sleep on the ground.

Well there's no need to be defensive. You're a young girl, bound to be curious and with precious little literature at hand.

Just play it cool. Ask why he redecided. Was there anything special that made him change his mind? Maybe his mom told him to get off the mountain and try a change of scenery or something...

Has Thodren ever been outside his clan territory much? Did he bring anything with him? What is he actually expecting to happen? You've made camp so you might as well share a meal and talk a bit. Friends are best made over food.

Also he does owe you an explanation about minotaur penises now. If you get bored you can sit down with the book together and point out inconsistencies. That'll be a nice icebreaker.

After a good nights rest where nothing inappropriate happens and nobody questions anyone's taste in literature that they didn't know was that kind of book until it was too late because nobody labels the damn things, we head to my hometown to restock supplies and maybe get some information.
But first, I'm going to check in at home.

"Hi daddy, I'm home!"

"Hey Rynnie, everything go alright?"

"Yeah. I fought a minotaur, then I triggered an ancient fire-breathing spider golem and found a glowing magic gem of some kind in an old shrine hidden in a cave."

"Sounds like it went well. Might be valuable too."

"Maybe, some weird guy in a robe followed me up there. Probably a wizard or something. He seemed to want it."

"He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

"Nah. I punched up off a cliff."

"That's my girl."

"So, you ya wanna meet my new minotaur friend I badgered into going on crazy adventures?"

"In bit, I need to work on this pile of junk. People buy these fancy Gnomish imports and think they're so great. Sure, they work fine at first, then the magic all wears off and the hamsters die and the whole thing turns into a maintenance nightmare. Good for business, I suppose."

I'll just let him work at that for a bit and go do something else in town for now.

>>435240
How suspiciously specific. Anyways, your dad is cool. How'd he get that scar?

Hug him unexpectedly from behind, make him struggle to get out of the hug! OR, at least when he can't drop that very important looking thing.

>>435240
might as well see if you can find someone to appraise your gem.

>>435240
and ask him what happened in that other universe where he left you up for adoption instead of actually taking care of you.
Did he get sucked into this universe and kill his universe double?

>>435243
That looks like a water bottle for a hamster

...Why is there a car? Or more importantly, why don't you have one?

Visit the blacksmith to get that overblown butter knife you call a sword sharpened. Seriously, it has to be as dull as dishwater by now. Then find whoever around here can do appraisals of magical artifacts and get that gem checked out.

Dang. Who in this two-bit town has the money to buy a fancy imported Gnomish automobile, and is short enough to actually fit in it?

also if you can get that sword magiced up so it can cut rocks. will work just as well on bones.

go to tavern or town hall or castle or wherever has a notice board. Check notice board for missions

Hmm if your dad is here you should go inside and say hi to mom. Am sure she would love to meet your new friend.

After tromping about the mountains for several days, fighting a stone spider golem, and tromping back, you're not exactly "daisy fresh" right now. Better set aside an hour or so for a bath, and get a clean change of clothes before dinner.

Also see about getting Thodren a bath, and his clothes laundered, so you don't have to endure that pungent bull-man funk for a few days.

gnomes can make literally anything, at any tech level. the problem is, one day it gets a bit hot, and the glue melts so the feathers fall of, or one of the whistles stops working, and then EVERYTHING GOES WRONG. the bells and whistles often aren't even ATTACHED to anything, but if they come off, run for cover.

>>435436
Which means Rynh's dad must be quite skilled if he can fix a Gnomish machine well enough that he can make a business of it.

>>435240

It just needs some blinker fluid. You know those gnomes: always using completely ridiculous things to do stuff.

The blinker fluid doesn't even do anything except make a clicking noise, but if you don't have any, the damned things won't work at all.

Alright, I could use a scrub down after all that, but Thodren is not going to fit in this tub or in this room, maybe. Minotaurs are a little larger than most races that live in towns, with houses. He can go splash around in the river, I guess.

>Who in this two-bit town has the money to buy a fancy imported Gnomish automobile, and is short enough to actually fit in it?
Just some old rich guy that likes to show off how rich he is by buying stupid crap to show off to everyone else. So you have one of those automocar things. Big deal, I can jog faster than that thing.

Anyway, I should get the sword sharpened and see if anyone knows about magic gems. That would get things rolling.

>>435744

I vote we watch him splash around in the river. From a good hiding spot.

It's a test to see if he'll make a good adventurer.

ye. got your priorities straight. go get that shit checked.

>>435744
Gosh, looks like even you have some trouble fitting into that tub, at your height. Are most of the locals Kobolds or other tiny folk?

As for the sword.. you might be better off just trading it in for something that can actually deliver on the force you put into your swings. You were shattering stone back there. Do you know how to use any other weapons?

When you do go to get that gem identified or appraised, make sure Thodren is with you. Nothing says "don't fuck with me," like a minotaur backing you up, and that should be enough reason to not screw you over or try to steal the gem.

As long as you're heading to the blacksmith, or wherever it is you'll get your sword sharpened, ask your dad if he has anything to be delivered there, or to be picked up, before you take off.

>>435993
Rynh actually might not have to trade in her sword. It's a single-edged sword, so she could use the blunt side to deliver crushing hits, and save the sharp side for when crushing doesn't work. And as long as we're on the topic of weapons, did Thodren bring any other than his huge fists? Round him up and see about getting him a big weapon that delivers massive quantities of blunt force trauma.

>>436047
"Round him up and see about getting him a big weapon that delivers massive quantities of blunt force trauma."

He's already got one of those, but should see about getting him an axe or something. minotaurs love axes.

I take the stone around town and ask if anyone knows what it is or more importantly, what it's worth.
The general consensus is that is a gem of some sort and that it glows. Some people think it's probably magic.
I know that farms don't generally attract a lot of wizards, but I'm probably the most magical thing in this town. I might not get a lot of answers here. It's mostly human farmers with a few kobolds, dwarves and a handful of gnomes working the tool and mechanical trades. Not a very mystical bunch at all.

looks like the first thing you are gonna have to do is leave again for a bigger town with more wizards in it.

Eh, forget it. This town is too small to be any good.

Everyone knows you've got loot by now so if you travel you may be followed and attacked. I recommend traveling with Thodren if you go anywhere.

>>438389
This is sufficient reason to head out of town again. Use a mixture of a map and word of mouth to learn where a young lady like you can talk to a friendly wizard.

>>438389

Locate a town with an actual appraiser and go there.

Alright, so what larger towns and cities are around here might have institutions for the study of the arcane arts? Alternatively, are there ones that possibly deal in the trade of antiquities and other junk adventurers haul in. Cities on major trade routes are a good bet for where you want to go.

Hey, isn't your dad an ex-adventurer? He's got the scars of one, plus, well... you. That has to indicate an adventurous past of one kind or another. Could you ask him for his old contacts for when he needed to sell magical loot?

Go round up Thodren before he accidentally knocks over a gnome's house or something and meet up with your dad to plan the route to your next destination. Offer Thodren a place to sleep in the garage, since it's likely the only space the inn has that'd fit him is a stable stall. Oh, and pick up extra food, 'cause huge meatshields tend to eat loads.

Go back to the mountain. Loot smooshed wizard corpse for info.

Hmm. I wonder what town in the area would be best for this kind of thing. Belja is probably the biggest trading city in the area and it's pretty close. Styrewood is full of elves. Elves are magical or something, right? And Havenport is down south and is a port. Ports have lots of different people coming and going all the time, so who knows?
One of them probably has a glowy rock expert somewhere.

Do you not feel the pull of the sea? Do you not yearn to smell the salty ocean breeze and feel its cruel winds in your hair? Havenport is the only choice! Adventure awaits!

Think back to that guy who told you about the cave where you found that glowing gem. Which way did he come from, and which way did he go? 'Cause those who want the gem are probably where he came from, and will be pursuing him where he goes, so you don't want to be around either place.

Styrewood would be the first choice. Elves are generally known for making glowy magical hippy crystal crap like that gem. They would at least be able to direct you to someone who'd know more about it. Belja is the second choice, simply 'cause it's near and likely has at least one trader who deals in this kind of junk. Havenport's third, mostly 'cause it has the same traits as Belja, but is farther away.

Oh, and something with sharp pointy teeth is about to bite the tip of your tail. Looks like it might have a kobold snout. Possibly a 'bold kid? Swing your tail away, and shove it away with your foot.

tail flick

and yeah, elves may know more about crystals, but be ready to run if they start ranting about destroyers and shit.

>>439210
Your tail's about to get bit.

Ask Thodren for his input, since he's coming along.

Hippie elf magic. Hippies are all into crystal magic and shit.

Tail is about to get bit, yank it away. See what was trying to bite your tail.

My vote is for Belja. It should be easier to find someone willing to work with us, and even if we don't find any leads we should be able to find plenty of adventure/trouble.

The elves, on the other hand, might not want to have anything to do with us, and probably only have shitty adventures.

Belja is northwest of here and Styrewood is down south, so it's not like I can visit one, then the other without a lot of backtracking. Big city or elves?

>'bold kid trying to bite your tail
"Screw off, Jehral! I'm tryin' to think here!"

>>439456
D'aaaw, he's so cute. I'm assuming he's not your lover in this timeline.

Anyways, elves, I guess.
