"I don't mind going... But is it okay if I invite one more?" You won't refuse free food, and you also didn't want to leave Mika alone with him.

"Ah are you going to invite Saki-nee?" Mika knew right away who you were asking for.

You nod your head. "Yeah, is it okay if I invite her?" You turn to Ryu to ask the question.

First, he turns towards Mika. Then he turns to you. Right away, as if you could read his mind, you knew he wanted to refuse. However, trying to look good in front of Mika did have it's consequences. "Yeah... Go ahead! Invite her along." It must've taken a lot out of him to agree to it. "Do we need to pick her up somewhere? I have my car parked in the parking lot."

"Oh no." You smile at him. "She is at the staff room. My sister is a teacher here. You probably know her."

It took a while to click for him but when he remembered Saki, a flash of terror can be seen in his eyes. "i-I see... Okay..."

"I'll go tell her that you are going to treat her. If you do know her, she would be thrilled to see a former student!" You grab your wallet on your way out of the clubroom to pick your sister up. However before you get too far you hear Ryu call out after you.

"Hey! Shuichi!" Turning around you ask him what he needed. To your surprise, he starts to ask you if you and Mika were in a relationship. "You aren't Mika's boyfriend right?"

[ ] "No not at all." Tell him the truth.

[ ] "I am her boyfriend." Tell a little lie.

A lot of tabletop fantasy settings have races who live primarily underground, like dwarves, kobolds, gnomes, drow and so on. Forgotten Realms has its Underdark, most fantasy games have dwarves holed up in mountains and goblins emerging from caves to wreak havoc.

I've been thinking about the base assumptions of a lot of this stuff. First, for people to live underground full-time, there's got to be an ecosystem that can support people all the way up to large, people-like omnivores. Typically, cave ecosystems in the real world only support creatures up to the scale of salamanders and centipedes... and in some cases, the majority of the initial biomass comes from bat guano. For underground kingdoms to work, you've got to up the amount of biomass found underground significantly. Mushrooms are detrivores, so they typically need something lower on the scale to piggy-back off of.When you grow mushrooms, you’re using dead trees or manure, you can’t just put it in dirt and expect it to work.

In most fantasy literature, you see dwarves and goblins armed in much the same way you see the humans and elves of the surface. The best historical parallel we have to the kind of war fought underground would be the military mining of of the medieval period. One typical response to tunneling under walls would be to build another tunnel down, and then smoke out the enemy. How do underground kingdoms deal with someone setting large fires at their entrances or gassing them all?

Anyone else put some thought into subterranean races? My big idea from all of this is gas-mask toting kobolds who breed bats in swarms that black out the sky in the area to keep their underground mushroom agriculture functional.

Summer is finally over. Today was your first day back at school and you were back to your normal routine. You were up early like always, cooking breakfast. Your parents died when you were in middle school so you had to move in with your older sister in the city. "I wonder if my older sister is up already... She is going to be late at this rate..." You whisper to yourself as you finish setting up the table. "I should wake her up."

On your way to her bedroom you couldn't help but think how lucky you were to have an older sister like her. She was much older than you, she was almost thirty while you were still in second year high school. You could still remember how awkward it was for her to act all motherly when you moved in back then.

"Saki? Are you awake?" You knock on her door. Your sister just lets out a groan in response to you. "Saki we are going to be late for school! Aren't you doing a speech in the opening ceremonies? Should a teacher really be acting like this?" Trying to talk sense into her ends in futility. Finally you couldn't wait anymore. You go inside her room to wake her up.

Walking up to her you try and gently shake her to wake her up. As soon as you got close enough however, the smell of alcohol hits you. "She must've been up late last night drinking again..." Recently she has been drinking more and more. Was it the pressure of finding a boyfriend and getting married getting to her?

"Saki wake up!" You try and try again until finally she wakes up.

"I-I'm awake... S-Stop being so loud Shuichi..." She grumbles to you as she holds her head in pain. At first she was calm but when she realizes what time it was her eyes widen with shock. "I-It's already this late?! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!" She immediately jumps out of bed and goes into the bathroom. "Let me get ready real quick and we can walk to school together okay?"

[ ] "Actually, I was going to walk with a friend of mine."

[ ] "Sure." You don't mind walking with your older sister.

So I'm Baldur's Gate for the first time ever, but I was wondering whats a good class to start with?

I'm thinking of leaning towards either a Mage or Paladin.

No pdf thread? Let's change that. I'll start by dumping what I have

The rain spatters on your Mom's car as you glide down the road. You've never liked funerals, but you guess that's pretty normal. Especially when it's you dad's. You don't even know how it happened, just a body in an alley. Neither Mom or you have spoke a word on the ride, but finally she breaks the silence.

"Honey, we're here." she says, you must have been too absorbed in your thoughts to recognize the iron gates approaching you.

Entering the austere gates to the Comet City Graveyard, a tall well-dressed man in a black suit approaches you and your mom.

"Hello,John Salvos, I'm sorry for your loss." He says, "We met a bit ago, but I never talked to your son, what's your name?"

> "I'm (Write-in)."
> Say nothing (Random)

>From delusion to truth.
>From darkness to light.
>From death to eternity.
>I am True.
>I am Strong.
>I am Redeemed.

Paladin: the Redemption is a fan project, a game of bringing light to the dark places through the power of a cosmic force known only as the Song.
