You accept the quest.

"Great! I'll take you to the tunnel where DEMON is located."

The dwarf leads you through a series of winding corridors and stair cases until eventually you reach a stone with the word "ELBERETH" engraved on it.

"DEMON should be around here. Please vanquish it for us!"

>Proceed.
>Tell the dwarf you change your mind.

I can get behind most of this, but why bother adding dodge to the rotation?

Oh yeah, and take a horn or two, too. We could powder it or stick on a spear or make a bitchin' flagon to drink with. Or make it a horn that you blow on to make sounds, summoning something vile.

How much GOLD do we have, total?

Looks like over 1000 currently.

Buy armor next in town.

You take a couple of DEMON'S HORNS and then go to report your success to the dwarf.

"Great news! You may see our chief now. I'll escort you."

The dwarf escorts you to MASTER SMITH.

"What brings you here, human?"

>Ask for MAGIC SWORD.
>Ask about feud with elves.

>>38708092
>Ask for MAGIC SWORD.
>Ask about ARMOR
>Ask about DEMON HORN FLAGON as GIFT for MASTER SMITH
>Ask about feud with elves

>>38708234

I'll back this.

You ask about MAGIC SWORD.

"MAGIC SWORD? I remember forging that like it was only yesterday. Do you want it. Then you'll have to pry it from the cold dead hands of those bloody elves. To take it out of its stone, you need to prove to the sword that you are a true hero. To do that, you must master the power of HEART. Only then may you claim MAGIC SWORD."

You ask about armor.

"Since you slew DEMON for us, I shall give you my ADAMANTINE ARMOR. This armor can withstand even the flames of DRAGON! Are you trying to slay DRAGON? If so, you have my full support."

You ask about the feud between the elves and the dwarves.

"The elves are interested in settling our dispute? Those sly good-for-nothing tree huggers would backstab us at the drop of a hat."

>Tell MASTER SMITH that elves probably aren't so bad.
>Thank MASTER SMITH and leave.

>>38709005
That's it? They just don't trust them?
ningj
>Thank MASTER SMITH
>Wear ADAMANTINE ARMOR
>Ask what the dispute was about
>Ask how they would prove their trust, ASIDE from apologizing about the dispute.
>Leave

>>38709252

I'll back this.

We need to grind some more, we seriously lack hp.

You thank MASTER SMITH and don ADAMANTINE ARMOR, which is amazingly light. You ask what the dispute is about.

"When the original DWARF FORTRESS, along with our vast chambers of treasure, were stolen by DRAGON, the elves simply watched. We can never depend on them for assistance."

You ask how the elves can prove they can be trusted other than by apologizing.

"We will only begin to trust the elves when they present to us the head of their precious ELF QUEEN."

You leave.

>Go to CITY.
>Go to FOREST.
>Go to VILLAGE.

>>38710758
Fug.
>Go to CITY
>Look for ELF

>>38710758
>>Go to CITY

Buy other items in shops, more spells.

>>38710758
>Ask where DWARF FORTRESS is, and if DRAGON lives there.

Yeah, I'm siding with the dwarves on this one.

>Go to FOREST

>>38710836
Please, as if mere elves could defeat DRAGON or even stand up to DRAGON without having FOREST burned to the ground.

You go to CITY and find ELF in TOWN SQUARE.

"Hello, HERO! Have you spoken to the dwarves yet?"

>Tell her what MASTER SMITH said.
>Leave.

>>38713330
>>Tell her what MASTER SMITH said.

>>38713330
>Ask her what the conflict is about
>Ask her what the dwarves would need to prove their trust
>THEN tell her what MASTER SMITH said

>>38713463
Seconding this, but I'd also like to
>Buy some flowers from her

>>38713889
sure, I guess? Fill up that inventory space, I guess.

last bump

You ask ELF what the conflict was about.

"When we arrived late to OTHER MOUNTAIN to try to help the dwarves, they said we betrayed them."

You ask what the dwarves would need to prove their trust.

"They should promise to never cut down anymore trees for the elves to trust them."

You tell her what MASTER SMITH said.

"Oh. Well maybe we can give the dwarves MITHRIL instead. MITHRIL is a rare metal that grows in trees but is destroyed when trees are killed. There's a lot of it in FOREST because elves never kill trees and can retrieve the MITHRIL with nature magic."

You buy flowers from ELF.

>Ask about MITHRIL.
>Leave.

(Oops forgot about the flagon gift. That happened and MASTER SMITH appreciated it.)

>>38721222
>>Ask about MITHRIL.

Might work

>>38721222
>Ask what MYTHRIL looks like

You ask what MITHRIL looks like.

"MITHRIL is light blue, similar to the armor you're wearing. It's very durable and light too."

>Ask another question about MITHRIL.
>Leave.

>>38723238
>Can you govd us some mithril?
>If not, Where can we find that mithril?

You ask if she can help get you MITHRIL.

"Sure! I can talk to the elves and they'll give it to us."

ELF joined the party!

>Leave CITY.
>Go to BLACKSMITH'S SHOP.
>Go to MAGIC SHOP.

>>38724723
>>Go to MAGIC SHOP.

You go to MAGIC SHOP.

"Welc-- God damn it. You better be here for the new spells that are in stock or you're banned from this shop forever."

You currently have 1069 GOLD.

>Buy KILL (200 GOLD)
>Buy REVIVE (200 GOLD)
>Buy EMPOWER (150 GOLD)
>Buy FORTIFY (150 GOLD)
>Buy SAP (150 GOLD)
>Buy ATROPHY (150 GOLD)

(REVIVE works like Auto-Revive in FFT. It's cast on Hero and used when reduced to 0 HP.)

>>38725383
>>Buy REVIVE (200 GOLD)
>>Buy EMPOWER (150 GOLD)
>>Buy FORTIFY (150 GOLD)

>>38725383
whoa whoa whoa, wtf did we do to get banned?

You purchase REVIVE, EMPOWER, and FORTIFY.

You now have 569 GOLD.

>Buy KILL (200 GOLD)
>Buy SAP (150 GOLD)
>Buy ATROPHY (150 GOLD)

(Oops)

Rolled 2 (1d2)

You leave CITY and go to FOREST. You hear the giggling again along with the growls and the smell of smoke. ELF tells you it's probably just fairies trying to scare you away. You continue. You hear a roar and a massive beast emerges from the darkness. You draw your weapon and prepare for combat but the beast suddenly disappears. The giggling ceases and is replaced by booing and jeers. A few moments later, an elf drops down from a tree and greets you.

"Welcome, human. Why have you come?"

ELF responds.

"We need MITHRIL to make peace with the dwarves."

"We would give you the MITHRIL, but it was stolen by the fairies. If you can get it back, we'll let you keep it."

>Accept quest.
>Decline.

>>38729501
"If you can get it back, we'll let you keep it."

Seriously? That's way different from "Please help us retrieve the MITHRIL." One implies that they would like to make peace with the dwarves, the other implies they don't give a fuck.

And if they don't give a fuck, this peace most certainly will not last.

>Do you want to make peace with the dwarves?

You ask if the elves want peace with the dwarves. ELF interrupts.

"Of course we do! We just need to get the MITHRIL from the fairies so we can give it to the dwarves."

>Accept quest.
>Decline.

>>38730844
I'm not asking ELF, I'm asking the other guy.

>>38730844
>Accept quest
>apologize for doubting ELF's wish for peace

By the way, OP, thanks for letting ELF join our party. Sorry to say I wasn't here when it happened.

You accept the quest.

"Great! I'll take you to FAIRY MEADOW where they took the MITHRIL."

The elf leads you to a clearing with flowers of every color of the rainbow.

"The fairies are in FAIRY REALM. There's a portal to get there in the center of the meadow."

>Go to the center of the meadow.
>Turn back to prepare.

>>38734619
>Ask Elf: What Spells/Skills do you have that can help?

You ask ELF what combat skills she has.

"I'm pretty good with nature magic. Unfortunately I never learned to use bows like most other elves so I can't fight directly."

>Stand in the center of the meadow.
>Turn back to prepare.
