Braineel, your character has successfully been added to the Trapper-Keeper of Knowledge

"Ah! H-hello. Just water for me. Nothing flammable. You have work here, right? That's what it said on the er... sign."

Without A Past introduces himself to Laughs Creepily sheepishly, and he gets up to explore the premises, forgetting his drink at the bar.

Yeah, 10 gold really doesn't go very far does it? Looks like the only choice for me is the basic shortsword. The sword does come with a scabbard, right? Gotta make sure of that.
Anyway, one of those, and I'd love to sign up for the most recent quest opportunity. I'll gladly roleplay out whatever's possible, but by the looks of things shopping and signing up for things are handled out-of-character to ease the job of the NPC-master. Also to keep the thread's page count down.

[Aegis J Hyena]

Braineel, the Pit of A Thousand Skulls is about to kick off tomorrow (May 2); there's room if you want in. If you want to see my past games, visit the Civilization thread here in the Games forum; the link's in my signature.

[thinkslogically]

You can interact directly IC, or just let me know what you want to do OOC and I'll make it happen. I'll do a shopping update tonight for you all before you head out to the Pit, but just do whatever you prefer really. The point in the GAL is to be fairly rules-light and just give new (or old) GMs and players a chance to try out new things, so just do whatever you feel like and I'll work it out

[Braineel]

Well alright. I'll sign up for that quest, then, and pick up a basic shortsword, since it's better'n nothing. Doesn't really seem there's time to barter or trade with players, seeing as it's 5 AM now and I'm hitting the hay. (Also: is the stuff below legible? Just want to make sure I picked a color everyone can read just fine.)

Without A Past attempts to purchase a shortsword for 5 gold as soon as he finds someone selling arms. He tries for 6 gold and some pocket lint once he learns the actual price of the weapon, assuring the vendor that this pocket lint is older than he himself is, and must therefore be worth a fortune.

Without A Past also signs up for the quest in the (rather morbidly named, as he notes) Pit of a Thousand Skulls once he is eventually directed to the board, or finds it on his own. (If at this point he is unarmed because the vendor would not sell the shortsword for 6 gold and lint, he sets his mind to learning to throw gold pieces as a weapon.)

[Quarg]

William looks at Without a Past,
"I might temporarily loan you a weapon, but see if you can get that spear from Walks for five gold..."

[BadgeAddict]

I should also mention that, if you look in the Trapper Keeper, you'll notice that some people (unless they are away questing) have more than enough items to spare. You may be able to buy or loan some of their extras.

[spiderwrangler]

"Yeah, she's got a lot of *teeehhhheeeeeheee* loot. I might be willing to *heee* rent you these new throwing axes I just bought too... " , Laughs Creepily chuckles while spinning his axes between his hands.


((Most folks haven't made use of the 'willing to trade' subcategory of the trapper keeper, so it won't hurt to ask.))

[thinkslogically]

I'm also going to open up Sarusama's and SGTDude's inventories for equipment loans. I don't think they're coming back any time soon, but it seems a shame to waste their gear.

[BadgeAddict]

Those items could go into a general pool if you don't mind Thinks...or become the Inn Owners to sell/trade/loan as he likes...Would you like me to build a separate list of items owned by now inactive players?

[spiderwrangler]

Laughs would love to wear Duck's skull mask... . It would be on theme with his lance of terror..

That would be great - let's add them to a pool of group loot. They've already been earned, so I don't see the need to charge for their use. Players are welcome to charge for loaning out their equipment if they want to of course, but we'll keep "group loot" free on a first-come first-served basis.

- Skull Mask
- Pointy Stick (+1 ATT)
- Leather Armour (+1 DEF)
- Rat Corpse (x1)
- Silver Cloak Pin: Forged in the shape of a wolf's head
- Mysterious Map: Puzzling!
- Simple Axe(+1 ATT) (1-handed)
- Spear (+1 ATT) (2-handed)

Although this is first come first serve, I would ask that everyone only take one thing before waiting until something else is taken, people with nothing will have first dibs, otherwise the order will be rolled for. If you are interested in any of the items, please state your interest regardless of being in a game or not. If you take an item and are in a game, the item will be waiting for you upon your return.

If not all items have been chosen, the list will start again in the same order.

1. Braineel
2. Alaen (If you still are playing)
3. (Roll order based on others interested in taking items)

edit: If this isn't what you had in mind Thinks, please advise.

[ChuckDaRighteous]

oh sweet, this takes some of the sting out of restarting. Well presuming the priority players don't take it, I'll take the pirate captain's hat. Tempted to take the leather armor, but the hat is more in character.

[Quarg]

Yeah, thanks there Chuck I wanted the pirate hat on this mission...

[spiderwrangler]

Skull mask... No relevant stats, but fits what Laughs Creepily had become.

[BadgeAddict]

well...Quarg & Chuck...I suppose you can hope that in the roll-off (If that's what happens for picking order) that one of you wins over the other...and can then gloat about it.

[thinkslogically]

These are just items to borrow for a quest - they go back into group loot when you return (or will vanish if you die). You can do whatever you want with the gear as long as it's in your possession on a quest (E. G. Sell it or whatever, because who's going to stop you?) but you'll need to explain your actions to the other players and if they get pissed off... Well that's up to you guys to work out

[BadgeAddict]

Oh...so its a "loaner" pool...not a gimme gimme gimme loot pool...my bad on the confusion there...

[Quarg]

Nope, zero sarcasm in that statement of mine above.

I support Chuck getting the Pirate Hat beccause he has signed up for the mission...

[BadgeAddict]

I suppose too that the stuff could randomly be thrown into the combo cube...and that rat corpse could be given to the mouse chef (awkward!, luckily you don't have any mouse corpses )

[spiderwrangler]

If it's quest only, I'm not going on one, so guess I have to regretfully retract my skull mask request.

[BadgeAddict]

Well...the way I understood it from what Thinks said is that...if you want to take something and keep it, feel free to do so...but others might become angry at you if you don't have a good reason...on the other hand...I'm betting most people don't care about that...

Like the healing potion for instance, if you took it on a quest and used it..it's not like you can give it back to the group loot pile at the end of the quest.

[spiderwrangler]

I'd take the skull if I could, but probably would intend to keep or combo it, so I'd that's not OK, with me not being on a quest, I'll just bow out.

[nikohl]

I think Braineel could borrow a starting set of gear for the mission out of the group loot, that seems like a good idea to me. Leather Armour and Simple Axe are a +1DEF/1H+1ATT combo, that's a handy starting boost. The Barrel Lid might be able to be smooshed into a shield for another 1H +1DEF.

Chuck, what does your new restarted guy have? Anything?
