Pick Coruscant Bolt, steal the Spirit Battery while no one is looking.  You decide to pick Coruscant Bolt. Maybe you'll take Spirit Battery next time? Or...  You wonder if you could just reach over and...   You learn Coruscant Bolt! A streamer of bright sparks that, on impact, bursts into three individual explosions of dazzling flame. It's a Rank 2 Fire spell, so at your level you'll only be able to pull off one before getting quite tired, but the potency of the spell makes up for that. Anyway, you plan on having ADVENTURES, so hopefully you'll get more levels after not too long and be able to cast these mad pyrotechnics whenever.  You also obtain Spirit Battery! You have no idea what it does, but it was important enough to create some kind of special meter. It's really cool that you were able to beat the system and get two advancements for just one level! There will surely be no negative effects from having obtained the bonus without spending a level on it.  The user interface that you may or may not be fully aware of snaps back into proper form. Unfortunately, two of your inventory spaces got smashed in the fight, so now you only have three. Additionally, the walls of the alley come into focus, a few last wisps of darkness fading. The animal your attacker had must have been generating subtle darkness since a while before you showed up to darken the alley that much. You think you might recognize the creature, thinking back. A schroun. They're cool because they are both Fire AND Dark elemental. They're considerably less cool then they would be otherwise because they are tiny weak prey animals. You wonder how that guy managed to befriend one, or even get close without it generating a darkness cloud to flee. You also notice that while the new Spirit Battery gauge is part of the UI, the weird new meters and stuff that kept appearing recently are gone. Now that you think about it... didn't they only start showing up right after you...? |

QUICKLY, NO TIME TO FRET OVER SUCH THINGS NOW! ONWARD TO ADVENTURE  yup ok no time to ponder mysterious one-eyed glowskulls that make you uncomfortably aware of a level of reality that you probably shouldn't be directly interacting with nope lets ignore that  After some wandering, you find your way out of the back alleys and into the city's main plaza. At its center is a massive magma fountain, adorned with an enormous glass sculpture of the Lady in Fire, legendary hero and founder of the nation. She was pretty rad. From the fountain, magma rivers flow in all four compass directions (they're enchanted to contain their heat, obviously. otherwise you would be dead right now). To either side the high mountains of the canyon the city is carved out of loom in the sky. The plaza is a popular place to hang out, and contains many shops and restaurants. You only have nine Verdants, but you might be able to buy something small before you head out of the city TO ADVENTURE! Right near you are an apothecary, a store for magical items, a weapons/armor shop, and somebody manning a small fruit stand. You could also take your time to make an offering to the Lady in Fire for good luck, or to hang around and listen to gossip. Where to first? |

Keep acting like a bird while looking around the town. You proceed to browse the nearby shops as your birdsona.  Blacksmith NPC: …
Blacksmith NPC: godsdam kidsThe only things within your price range here a a small and weak sword, an equally poor shield, a cheap bow with 20 arrows, and a wooden staff (of the non-magical kind). Demand a pineapple from the fruit stand.  Eve: I want a pineappleBored NPC: Dude I can't just give you a fruit for freeEve: Give itBored NPC: Seriously not gonnaEve: Yes you are!Bored NPC: noEve: Yes!Bored NPC: noEve: Yes!!Bored NPC: Ugh fine whatever. They won't notice a single pineapple missing anywayPineapple get! Bored NPC: So are you actually gonna buy something? Cause the amount of fruit they gave me to sell is absurd and i literally can't leave til I'm done.You can get an apple (retro classic!), a blue apple (how refreshing!), a pineapple (piney!), or a doublapple (that's twice the apple per apple!).  You next head into the magic store and yooooooo thats one of the Fiery Five! They were the most popular and powerful adventurers in the Fire Kingdom! They won the Purification Wars! Yooooooooooo Eve: oooomy gods I didn't even notice this was your store oh my gods i am literally you guys' biggest fan hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhSandra the Blazing: You okay honey?Eve: *huff huff* Yeah. Sorry. It's just that you guys inspired me to decide to become an adventurer in the first place!Sandra the Blazing: Oooh, an adventurer! Always a pleasure to help our nation's next big hero get started! If anyone every says you're wasting your life, remember me, alright?
Sandra the Blazing: You should keep up the bird theme, by the way. Themed heroes are good for marketing! A phoenix theme specifically would work for a Fool, I think.
Sandra the blazing: Anyway, I think I could get a special something for a fellow hero, and a fan.You get a 100% Authentic Fiery Five totebag! Signed by Sandra! Swoon <3 Sandra the Blazing: I'll give you a discount, too.After browsing for a bit through the various legendary and pedestrian treasures Sandra picked up over her travels, you find a few things you could buy with your low funds: low-level vitality-boosting, damage-boosting, and agility-boosting gems, and a weak explosive Fire gem (you can charge it with any fire spell, after which it can be thrown to shatter into a fiery explosion).  Next you go to the small potion-shop. Hassled-sounding NPC: Yes, be with you in a moment, dear.
Hassled-sounding NPC: Please stop chirping.Here you can get a potion to restore stamina, or to protect you from heat or cold.  Lastly, you visit the grand lava fountain. It's said that if you make an offering to the Lady in Fire you'll be blessed with protection from the elementally inferior. Sure it could just be a legend, but still…  Before buying anything, you take a moment to consider your options. You make note of current funds and the price of the items, and mentally label them as cheap (you can get more than one) or not as cheap (if you get this it's all you get). You figure that any money left over can be used as an offering to the Lady. You also make note of your current possessions: Small healing gem, mysterious skull that you've elected to ignore the metaphysical implications of, fresh delicious pineapple, and kickass tote bag What do you do buy? |
