War Of Provinces [dead]

"Ok, first, please back off a bit. Secondly, I don't know what the hell my grandparents want!" He calms down a bit. "Look, they'll prob'ly ask you to move some crates or something. Hopefully, that won't be too hard for you."

 

So would i need 2 iron ingots since i have 3/4 of the materials or is the 8 the 1/4?

That works better

 

Okay I wanna see about these trades
Go back to nemract and find some trades, if there aren't any, go to malti(?)

 

I stare at him for a moment, "I shall offer one favor to your grandparents on one condition, it is within my abilities, and I expect a reasonable discount on an item of my choosing for my troubles"

 

The sailor gave you 24x Iron Ingot

Since nobody's sober yet in Nemract, you head down to Maltic. The merchants there aren't selling many combat supplies, but a wealthy farmer is giving away bread for free.

"Howdy, commander Jellybean! I see your army's been getting malnourished from all that alcohol. It's time you get some healthy grains!" He hands you 5x Loaf of Bread and skips away. You stare in astonishment.

"Hey! You said you'll go for the talisman! No deal, unless you only wish to buy the talisman, none else."

 

I'll say to the merchant "Can we get the price down to 30 emeralds?"

 

“A good discount on the talisman for a favour for your grandparents, deal?”

 

"Darn. Government hasn't been paying me much. I'll come back when I can actually afford something."
-----
Welp. To fruma we go. Solo.
Leave my army back at Corkus training professions.

 

I head back to the merchant to give the golden pufferfish.

 

"Well... sure. It's not like I really need the emeralds--what's a difference of 5 emeralds mean to me? Yes, the price is now 30 emeralds for the 8 ingots."

The adventurer scrutinizes you. "What do you mean 'good discount'? I'll give the talisman to you just for doing the favor."

Are you really really sure? Fruma is... unpredictable. You have heard many stories of their ruthless government, such as the Wynnians who tried to snuck in but were brutally executed not too long ago.

"It took ye a while, but who cares? I see ye got the gleaming fish, and I'd happily give over this prized harpoon o' me. Be careful, it be a bit heavy. Thank ye for the business!"

Robert has 14/25 HP and 45 AS, and 40e, and has acquired Corkian Harpoon (+20 AS).

 

“I see, I must have been hearing you wrong, tell me, where do your grandparents live, the sooner I do this the better.”

 

I can reincarnate while my army can't.
I only lose 5AS for leaving them behind, so why not. I see no upsides to taking my army.

 

"Thank you very much." I say, and go look for an inn to rest at.

 

I give him 30 emeralds.

 

"Damn, are you really deaf? I said Iboju!" The adventurer stamps his feet furiously in impatience.

Your AS is going to look like 99(-5), but you will still lose 20% of 99, not 20% of 94, and just in case you enter a fight (psst... you will) you have 5 extra damage. And your army technically "teleports" so...

As you head towards the tavern, you run into a young man who seems familiar.

"For the love of Robert! I mean, not you, that other guy who died centuries ago. But anyway, where the hell have you been? We've sent out all of our experienced sailors all over the Ocean looking for you! Look, everyone back home is super worried, and you and your army need to head back, like, now."

"Thank you."

Blue Battle Sage has 8/35 HP, 57.2 AS, and 40e, and has acquired 8x Iron Ingot.

 

I go back to the blacksmith to make the helmets

 

“I was asking where in Iboju, the less I have to look around the better, it may be a small town but I would rather work than do favours.”

 

The blacksmith hands you a hammer and you begin your work. Turns out you are pretty good at crafting, and you have the helmets done in almost no time. You hand them out to your army (+4 AS) and get a Climbing Helmet (+3 HP) for yourself.

Blue Battle Sage has 11/38 HP, 61.2 AS, and 10e, and has acquired Climbing Helmet (+3 HP).

"Oh. It's somewhere near the entrance to Dernel, near the west side."

 

"Everyone be careful" i start heading into maro peaks as quietly and stealthily as i can

 

But if I solo, they can't attack my army and remove 14 AS in one attack. 5 more damage isn't worth that.
Also, mechs are loud (maybe)
Also also, going by myself is sneakier as that's less variables to keep track of.
