You leave INN and take a walk around CITY. You see TAVERN, LIBRARY, BLACKSMITH'S SHOP, SCHOOL, APOTHECARY, MAGIC SHOP, TOWN SQUARE, and CASTLE.

>research MAGIC SWORD

You go to LIBRARY and gather books related to MAGIC SWORD. You read them and learn that Magic Sword was made by MASTER SMITH to aid in fighting evil. Evil monsters who touch MAGIC SWORD are weakened but MAGIC SWORD itself is quite dull, which means anyone who wants to fight something evil may want MAGIC SWORD along with a better weapon.

>>38508488
Read more about processing monster drops (skinning etc) and about herbs (we got to get money with some work).

can't we negotiate something with the dragon? :(

>>38510565
we need to find and reach it first but that could be a possibility

Could we perhaps equip a weapon?
I can't help but notice that we've been punching the slimes when we have perfectly serviceable carved sticks.

>>38511514

>>38511562
Right, looks like we should head back to VILLAGE.

>>38511594
of course but not until we complete RESEARCH at LIBRARY

>>38511514
Why? We just need to improve our fists.
>>38511692
No. We grind harder.

You continue reading books. From reading, you learn that MASTER SMITH is the elder of DWARF MOUNTAIN to the north. You also read books on effective ways to collect useful resources from fallen foes and tips and tricks for herbalism and valuable goods in CITY. You learn that BEAR ASSES are very popular.

(I think I remember an old RPG that had an item hidden behind a throne but I can't remember the game or what the item was.)

You look behind the throne and find RARE CANDY.

We are rather lacking in the "can run a kingdom" department. Heck, I rather doubt our hero here run a village, let alone be a count or prince.

"No. The dwarves would kill me."

You ask her if DRAGON isn't enough of a threat to make the two races cooperate and what kind of peace she wants.

"Yes, DRAGON is a very serious threat to everyone in this land. I can only help you reach MAGIC SWORD. I cannot help you release it from its stone nor can I teach you how to use its power. Everything other than its location and creator are an enigma to me."

>>38567293
>>38567559
But we never found out how much COMPASS costs! So let's just continue
>Do another random encounter
until HP or MP is low and then go back to CITY or VILLAGE, depending on our whim. Sleeping in VILLAGE is probably free, but we didn't find out how much sleeping at INN costs, either.

>>38567622
it's 20 GOLD, learn to ctrl f

Rolled 10 (1d10)

>>38567622
(Yeah you did early in the adventure. A COMPASS is 20 GOLD and an INN stay is 5 GOLD.)

You start doing random encounters until your HP or MP are low.

>>38567739
Well that looks like a pretty nice roll (for us, I hope)!

>>38568162
OWLBEAR has rolled a TEN. OWBLEAR summons DRAGON. HERO is INCINERATED on the spot.

We should buy dual-wielding soon

30 xp.

we have 23.

Wielding at all a shit.
We mage now.

>>38568744
>>38568767

we are using 2 weapons.

Otherwise we should use a shield or a 2 hander.

Unless 2 staffs let us double cast with dual-wielding.

>>38570444
(I was originally gonna have armor as shown by clothes being noted in the OP but I scrapped it because it would be too complex to implement in a noticeable way.)

>>38570571
>>38570444

(There will be shields though.)

>>38570435
SPEARS are also multipurpose! If we were DUAL-WIELDING SPEARS, we might be able to scale solid rock walls and probably man-made walls if we tried hard enough. Can your precious HAMMERS do that? Fuck no, they can't! I rest my CASE.

>>38570571
>STEEL SLEDGEHAMMER (95 GOLD)
>AMETHYST-TIPPED FOCUS (80 GOLD)

>>38570648
Yes they can. Just get one end blunt, one end pick. Ice pick our way up any wall way more efficiently than with spears.

>>38570648
>>38571177
And we can use the pick end against any kind of wood/rock elemental or people in padded armor.

Pls no spears OP. LANCER is always kill.

>>38571242
>Buy DRILL SPEAR (90 GOLD)
>Buy FOUR-LEAF CLOVER TREE STAFF (140 GOLD)

Our specialization is SPEARS, or else we wasted XP on something we'll never use again.

>>38571511
Who is LANCER? We are HERO. Besides, I want to show off our incredible SPEAR skills to ELF someday.

>>38571548
HERO+Spear=LANCER
LANCER=DEAD LANCER 100% of the time.
Prove me wrong, oh wait, you can't.

>>38571595
HERO isn't questing for HOLY GRAIL, anon. Stop worrying so much.

>>38571548
Seconding

>>38571548
shouldn't have wasted the XP on SPEAR in the first place then

either>>38571150 and save some for armor, or go for broke with>>38571278

>>38571661
But we did, and that which has been allocated cannot be unallocated, so we had better live with it.

>>38571695
(No armor in this Quest so I'll assume you're with >>38571278 and >>38571511)

Consider: We won't need a hammer to bludgeon enemy armor with if we can just drill through them with DRILL SPEAR or DRILL LANCE. Plus, what about other things that desperately need drilling?

You purchase SLADE SLEDGEHAMMER and FOUR-LEAF CLOVER TREE FOCUS. You now have 8 GOLD. You leave BLACKSMITH'S SHOP.

Oh boy, I hope it's fairies and/or pixies. Is it fairies and/or pixies?
Although I guess Elves could also technically be considered fairies in some circles. Hm.

This is my last post of the night, it seems. Thanks, OP! Hopefully this thread will still be here when I get back. If not, I eagerly look forward to the any sequel threads.

>>38574072
>>Proceed.

>>38574216
Elves are the Fae of Dragon Quest.

Spiteful, mean, racist fae.

>>38574413
They're not always spiteful, mean, and racist! Most of their conflicts with humanity tend to stem from internal discord or aggressive action by humans, if I remember my DQ correctly.

Besides, ELF seemed like a pretty nice gal. Now that I think of it, we really should have bought a flower from her or something. CITY must be hard living for an elven FLOWER GIRL.

>>38574413
You should play alchemy meister.

>>38574533
Just clarifying, alchemy meister confronts the issue of elves and fae (what is more, the cunt fae tries to wipe your party out without even talking to you)

You proceed. The giggling fades into a low growling noise. You smell smoke.
