WHEELING and dealing! Some of the teams were given the choice of taking the supplies they needed from merchants, ambushing parties and even other teams!

chose to barter with the mineral water. After an intense round of haggling between @papa-pepper and the merchant, he decides to give you six of his horses for the canteen of elvish water. Both sides walk away smiling.
As you apporach the inn you find that nothing remains but rubble. Something very big decided to come though here. After speaking with the innkeeper you find that a band of rogue orcs came through demanding your employer. They released a moutain troll who proceeded to pound the place into gravel. Gracefully no one died as they abducted him. He points up the road where it forks. He wishes you well. As you approach you find that there is the remains of a sheep unfortunate enough to be caught by the orcs.

Option 1: Charge down the path where the orcs went and avenge the sheep
Option 2: Take the other path and see if you can out race them with your horses if the paths meet again.
Option 3: Sift through the debris for anything valuable.

decided to head to the healing springs. After bathing in the holy waters you see that something is swimming in the water with them. Hearts stop as you regonize the tail from fables and illustrations across the land. Was it a lady of the lake, a mermaid?

Option 1: Try and construct a crude net to catch the creature. Best case if you catch her she grants your party a wish. Worst case she will be worth cases upon cases of Steemitquest tokens.

Option 2: Call to the mermaid for her blessing.
Option 3: Get out in case it wasn't a mermaid.

had aquired a barrel full of magic mead. They offer it to the moutain of a man guarding the bridge. The man guarding the bridge eagerly accepts the trade. A few mugs in he decides that this group needs a bodyguard.
Jormier as he calls himself pauses midstep. He waves the party to the side. Using his bowstaff he brushes the ground until the soft pop of twine breaking echoes. A massive swinging log dives at them as he ducks.

Option 1: Go forth to the inn and hope that this is the only set back.
Option 2: Wait for the creatures that created the trap.

stalks the camp as its inhabitants stir from slumber. Two hulking orcs rise and began to bicker among themselves about breakfast. One comes toward the thicket your group is hiding. He plunges a hand downward, testing the earth. He grumbles and goes back to the camp. The ground reveals iself to have been a series of pit traps. It was wise for your group not to attack them in the middle of the night.

Option 1: Charge the camp and attack the forest orcs.
Option 2: Try and snipe the lone orc if he returns to check the traps.
Option 3: Circle the camp and see if you can find another way in.

kiwis.JPGdecided to take the tunnels suggested by the barmaid. Feeling a breeze they follow the path unitl they come across the fattest drake they have ever seen. The breathing of the creature in the small chasm moves entire volumes of air. It stirs awake and launches itself at you. In the fight the creature clamps onto the arm of @len.george. Panic sets in as the beast begins to roll.
Option 1: Sever the arm and hope that he can make the rest of the journey with the other.
Option 2: Gouge the eyes.
Option 3: Try to pry the mouth open with your swords.

Upon receiving extra armour from a dwarf they decided to head toward the inn. As they go to leave they see the barmaid leaving the cellar. Her hands covered with the ash of a torch. Your team decides to sneak to the cellar and finds a secret passage.
As you find yourself at the fork of two chasms you hear a scuffle of a moster and swords on scale to your left.
Option 1: Investigate the combat.
Option 2: Ignore the conflict and go down the second chasm.

choose to press to the inn.
As they cross a bridge they hear the splashing of water. Another team is contemplating catching something that is in the water of the healing spring.

Option 1: Ambush them and steal their valuables
Option 2: Wait and see what they do

Chose to check the local plants for healing remedies. As they find druid's kiss it slowly stops the bleeding. They find a curious little shrub wih leaves that makes their skin crawl. They put the irritant in an extra bag for later. As they go forward with their foraging. A massive crack echoes down the road. Upon investigating. Your crew find an armored carriage with a lowlands giant trying to fix the wheel. He doesn't see you approach.

Option 1: Use the leaves you aquired to disorient the giant and kill him
Option 2: Offer your assistance.

Now the game will get harder. Your teammates might die while you survive. Are you ready to carry the torch for your team. Or watch from the grave as other teams win the glory?

This post I am promoting my friend @whatageek.

He is one of the most active posters on my feed. He is trying his hardest to make a gaming community for steemit. Trust me when I say it's better to follow him now before he takes off on a rocket. Whoever is following him, you'll get an extra entry. Be so active he tells me that you stand out, your entries double AGAIN.
Congrats on being the first Dudmuffin!
For being the first you get a free t-shirt from my Dudmuffin store. The only way to get this merch is from winning this week's Swolottery or buying it. Dm me on the discord app @whatageek for a shipping address, size, shirt color etc.

Now who will be the next person to get Duddy?!

Sort:  

Thanks for the tip about @whatageek. I've Followed them now: as I mentioned a comment some time ago, I'm also keen on creating a more interactive and fun (sub)community on Steemit. I hope to post more about my idea soon.

Can't wait to hear it! I was talking to a writer the other day. She broke my heart. First person I have ever met that knew what steemit was. Asked if it was still technical articles. She thinks we only post academia and we don't do anything fun!

From my recollection, the outset of Steemit was mostly full of articles relating either to the platform or Blockchain technologies.
It's really great for further adoption that we have much more diverse material on here now - and that we have people like you spreading the good word "that it's not just for, Blockchain/IT, geeks"!

Case in point. My dorky country girl friend. @julia-alexis22 haha. Geek she is not.

Thanks for the follow @avarice, give this guy a second entry :p.

Since you let me know you noticed him. Of course!

@nathanjones, @jeremy93, how tough could these Orcs be? Now that we know that they are wary enough to have set traps (and have a guard rotation) do we think that we will be able to out fox or out gun them?

Do we take a queue form @swolesome and....

I'd certainly say W.O.W.
Puns for the win.

Haha, they may be tougher than they appear. Or maybe there are more traps. What do you all think about circling around to see if there is another way?

Since we don't have an option like "head to the inn and continue the main quest", I guess there is no harm in circling around for now.
Reading it again, it seems that both of the Orcs are awake at the moment, so perhaps in time they will either fall asleep and we can do a bit of sneaky thievery or just overhear some juice gossip.

Ok, sounds good to me. Maybe we will over hear something, or notice something useful.

@swolesome Team Umbreon picks Option 3: Circle the camp and see if you can find another way in.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the shout-out. I might have to get back to you on the address to send it, is there an email I can send it to? I was a little concerned when I saw the word dudmuffin :p.

Yes I will be starting a gaming community as soon as there are communities on steemit (I hope in a month or so). Everyone is welcome, please let me know if you are interested, I will do my best to find everyone who has replied and add them/invite them/ or whatever I need to do when communites become a feature.

I will have to pick option 2, we have a bodyguard now, maybe only one of us will get eaten :p.

I used to do live steaming awhile back and my name was Dudmuffin. Because I was about to evolve into a stud muffin. Think of it as a way of saying almost a whale on Steemit :p

[email protected]
And option 2 confirmed.

I like to think it of it as a magrikarp turning into a gyarados... Maybe that reference doesn't help my case :p. How did the streaming go? I want to try it one day.

It was ok. I stopped doing it because it became pay to play. I earned maybe 150 bucks. I've earned more on Steemit in a week. Then a few months on live.me. On there people have to send you the gifts worth real money.

What did you play? Hopefully we can get streaming on here and you can do both.

Lol I didn't game on there. I just talked to my audience. Some thought I was funny. God bless them. I'm open to it. We shall see!

Make a note of my name too - if you haven't already ;)

I already did ;). If you or anyone else is active and resteem my posts you'll have double the entires too.

That one was aimed at @whatageek

Okay For my team, I suggest either option one or two. I don't wanna leave cuz with our luck, it'll be a mermaid and we become SOL.

Since we got pounded using torches, we probably shouldn't call out. I'm down with option 1. But, we should be careful...I hear mermaids can be vicious.

Hmm, I think we'd be better of just calling out to the mermaid and seeing if she answers. It looks like another team is nearby and has the option to ambush us. I say we try our luck to get something out of the mermaid, but keep our eyes open for the ambush. Option 2 is my vote. I think calling out and drawing attention to ourselves is over with, the other team can hear us just splashing anyway.

You're right about our luck @darkerwritings. And, @jennswall, you're right about our party being too loud at the healing springs. We've got a client we're still trying to meet up with... maybe the mermaid can grant us the wish to catch up to the client. Of course, if it's something dark and sinister, I say we beat it with those torches from the other night.

OK, so it looks like Team Sqeerch! is taking option 2, call out to the mermaid and see if she answers.

Option 2 Confirmed

Is this new? looks interesting.

Thanks. It's on its first season. Changes are going to be made for the next round. Stick around and watch!

Wow, this looks fun. Good work!

Thanks! Follow me for a chance to win steem, t-shirts and GLORY.

Having crossed swords with @whatageek before, thanks to Papa-pepper, I am indeed happy to follow him.
Steem on, there is more fun around the corner.

Time may be of the essence, but you never know what you'll find when you look. I say that we go with Option 3 and sort through the rubble quick prior to departing... what says you?

Option 3 makes sense to me.
