Chapter Eight: Diverging Paths

jta8-1920x1080.jpg

Our fighter catches up with the enemy rogue, frightening him into dropping our precious prize! We continue on, hoping to find answers about the jewel’s mysterious origin.

Coming to a fork in the road, we spy the distant rooftops of two villages, one down each path. We see a small group of traders off to our left, and an assembly of scholars heading to the right.

Which path do we choose?

    What have history taught us? Scientific knowledge and advancement will lead to faster growth and better understanding of the world. We can focus on making money later.

    We are SO excited to be back! <3 Tough choice indeed...do we hope that the world-wise traders amongst the economic village can help identify our jewel, or would the smarty-pants scholars of the scientific village know more? 🤔

    I would consider the gem to be priceless and wouldn't want to haggle with Economic Merchants. I'd head to the Scientists.

  • For knowledge! We must unlock the secrets of the essence!!
  • See running away with our gem wasn't a trap... they had every right to be scared and drop it ... :D Science!!! if it's not anything special we can always sell it later. Traders would try to undercut the price anyway if they knew it was something magical without telling us anything... "Yah , That's just a gem... Not very good quality either btw..." Something to that effect. And also I agree YAY We're Back!!!! However i'm sure LT. Toast has been Very Very Busy with A1. Keep up the good work... :)

    What's the name of that trader's village's main street?
    Somehow I have a feeling that it's called "Wall Street"...

    Nah, I don't trust them. To Science plz.

    Btw, our fighter did not FINISH the enemy rogue? Awwwwwwww, "blood of thy enemy" could've been the secret to triggering the hidden effects of our precious mysterious gem!
  • We going right bois

    This party seems to be suffering from a deplorable lack of bloodlust!

  • Let's see what the scienticts are going to say, it can lead us to a great mystery?!
  • maouwmaouw Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
    We could sell the gem and forget the details...

    Or we could find out what this gem really is - and then value it properly (or use it properly)

    Chances are the scholars will be able to tell you about jewel.

  • The scholars will most likely be our best bet to determine what heinous and dastardly curse this jewel has.

    The Traders will likely try to scam us, out of our jewel, our gold and our pants.
