Vendor Quest 2! Keep On Shopkeeping! (Now with a map)
« on: December 27, 2010, 09:49:10 PM »
>You are a resident of Gensokyo living in a tree house inside the Forest of Magic. You are a vendor, selling whatever items you have to the residents of Gensokyo to make a living.
>Your operations are somewhat limited, you have enough reputation to get notes and request your services, but not so that customers come to you, so you must go to them. At the moment, you can only carry objects that can fit in your cart that you take everywhere.
>Your tree house is good sized, making a good base for you and your companions.
>You have no danmaku skills at all, making you a squishy target..
>You live with a fairy named Tear, who you helped clear out the house. You also live with Rook, a formerly homeless boy who helped save Tear and has a good bit of street smarts.
>After a certain number of actions, the day will end and you will have to go back to your current lodgings and sleep.
>Your will gain more inventory by either random events or by going and looking for stuff in your surroundings which will take up a good portion of your day.
>Currency of the land is gold pieces.
>At the end of each day, 10 gold pieces will be spent for food.
>Your goal is to find a new base of operations and become a well-known shopkeeper in the Land of Gensokyo.
>Recently, you recieved a mysterious note from Alice asking for rare plant ingredients.
>In two days, there will be a full moon in which you can harvest one of the plant ingredients.
>Also, you suspect Tear has been the target of an assassination for her previous antics.
>You just woke up today and are deciding where to head out for the day.

Map of Land:

Green=Forest of Magic
Dark Tan=Bamboo Forest

(this is just a test picture, I'll refine it pretty soon)

>HOLD IT!
>Screw that unabomber cabin in the woods. We got Meiling to visit. She's got stuff for us. Or so she claimed.

>Rook: "Do you want me to come with you today? I can also go out and look for wares. Don't forget, I am your employee, so it would totally acceptable to send me out on an errand or talk to associates."

Oh, well then. Now I have a better understanding. Still, best not to let Tear die.

>"Ok."
>Rook leaves and heads off into the forest.
>You set off for the SDM to talk with Meiling.
>Upon arrival, you see her sleeping on her stool. Beside her, there is a basket with a cloth over the top of it.

>"Good morning, Milady,"
