Wandering Inn 1.07
I guess we are inviting our new Bug Friend to tea. I hope they have money.
So this explains why the actual insects here only have 4 legs. The 6-legged ones are sentient.
This is fucking hilarious, and we ALL know why
This is getting better and better. Like, now the other ant-man is going to take a crack at it. All while she is trying to plan her escape route. Classic.
Nevermind, it was a dragonborn. Got to love the party.
I know that this is all in like within the same paragraph…but it is still really fucking funny to me.
I love these two. Lizard boy got complemented by being called a dragon. This is adorable.
So after some gentle nudging, Erin finally lets these two in. From the City Watch, so I guess there is a city nearby…..somewhere in this cube landscape. And she offers them food, which is only polite after all.
If he wasn’t blushing before he certainly is now.
So she finally explains her situation two the cops in front of her. (yeah, city guard, but let’s be real they are cops). No need to lie when MAGIC is the literal answer for everything. And these two are nice and kind enough to at least get the general idea of what is going on.
I just really like this line. It has the same vibe as Hermione’s “we could have been killed, or worse expelled.”
So we finally get names:
Klbkch
the Ant-Man. And
Relc
the Drake. I am going to like Relc a lot.
And Klbkch is going to be entertaining because he doesn’t know how to keep his mandibles shut and not tell Erin about the dangerous plague she could possibly catch.
ok, so these guys also know about leveling up. And Classes are officially a confirmed thing for this universe. Hopefully they can stick around to give Erin tips on how to generally live around here, and about leveling up.
I want to be that guy. Why can’t I gain skills like this just because I didn’t let a plant die?
I love how they just kick each other when they did something rude. And yeah, I guess Lizardperson was a rude thing to say, but at least they understand how terrified Erin was from his outburst.
Ok so Erin’s hand injury has shown itself and I was right. It was an infection due to poison by that stupid fish. At least they are offering to heal it up. However
This is interesting. Relc is a bit suspicious of Klbkch’s motive. It looks like he isn’t use to his partner’s altruistic actions. But that’s the real question isn’t it? Why?
I just fucking love Relc. I have decided he is my favorite. (he better not fucking die)
Oh this is new. We have more characters in this story, so now we get their perspectives. Such a clever way to expand the world. You can only follow the characters that have visited the Inn.
Hmm. So the area they are in don’t really have humans, and this sort of implies the social ladder of the races in this world. (Don’t be so despairing Relc. I’m a Human female who would want to hang out with a Drake and an overgrown bug)
These two are fucking hilarious together. Have I said that I love them already?
No way in hell are they passing up more pasta and juice. And this is how Erin’s Inn business starts booming.
So THAT’S It! It wasn’t just any healing potion. It was a powerful one.
These two met a lonely, scared girl in the middle of a dangerous quarantine area who’s first thought was to invite them in for food and more food, and they decided to help her with the best potion they got.
I absolutely LOVE these two.
Of course we got Xenophiles in this planet. What Fantasy RPG wouldn’t?
One sentence later and that was a mood shift. How deadly was that plague??
AND WE LEVEL UP AGAIN! I guess having actual guests around pays in the experience points.
