Grand Game – Tom Elliott

Perhaps I should return to their lair and— I broke off the thought. Now was not the time to fall prey to overconfidence. The dire wolves had a way out of the dungeon, and the least I should do before throwing myself in danger again was to investigate what lay beyond.

I rose to my feet and turned to the waiting wolves. “Let’s go.” ~ ~ ~ We did not leave the cavern immediately, of course. There were still fifty-odd goblin corpses in the hall that I had yet to loot them. But with Aira and Oursk impatient to get going, I limited my search of the dead to their coin pouches.

Besides, I didn’t have nearly enough space in my backpack to carry much else. You have acquired 4 gold and 240 copper coins. Total money carried: 7 gold, 7 silvers, and 3 coppers. It was only the goblin leader’s corpse that I took the time to inspect more fully. He had carried the bulk of the money I had found: four golds, and it led me to anticipate finding other stuff of value on him.

But unfortunately, other than his spiked hide armor and greatclub, the chief carried nothing else of worth. With lots of cursing and tugging, I managed to remove the goliath’s helm. Holding it in my hand, I considered its game data. This is a rank 1 spiked hide armor helm. This item decreases the damage you sustain by: 20%.

This item requires a minimum Constitution of 4 to equip. My brows drew down. The helm’s properties were different from other items I had encountered. It had a rank of its own, and a prerequisite to equip. Thoughtfully, I turned my attention to the greatclub. This is a rank 2 greatclub, +1. This item increases the damage you deal by: 40% and has been enchanted to increase the wielder’s two- handed club skill by +1 rank (10 skill points).

This item requires a minimum Strength of 8 to wield. My frowned deepened. Like the helm, the chief’s weapon also had a rank and prerequisite to use. “What’s troubling you now?” I looked up. Gnat was back. “Hmm?” I murmured absently. “You’re scrunching up your face again,” he said. “Why?”
