Legend

Spikey is odd enough looking in your backwater village that he draws some attention. (Brenda found him to be very cute though) Soon you have children coming up to you in wonder.

"Hey is that a cat? He's weird looking!" one says
"Hey look at his tail!"
"Can I pet him?"
"He's not a cat, and leave him be, he's particular about who touches him. Back away!" you shout, but its no use, the kids are too fascinated by him. Spikey on the other hand doesn't like all this sudden unwanted attention, and is starting to growl…

Test your LUCK. If you're lucky his growls are enough to make the kids back off without further incident. If you're unlucky, Spikey lashes out and one of the kids gets a few spikes in his hand begins bawling resulting in angry parents immediately coming out of nowhere.

You'll have to deal with his Dad in one of two ways…

You can either pay restitution of 20 gold (Or a valuable item like a gem or magic object)

Or you can just argue with the Dad about how he should've looked after his kid better, which will of course result in a fight.

ANGRY DAD
SKILL: 6
STAMINA: 9

This of course isn't a fight to the death, you're just using your fists, so "killing" him just results in a knock out. You may also relieve him of 10 gold pieces if you wish.

If he manages to land one hit on you though, he knocks you down long enough for him to feel satisfaction and claim "Victory" before running off with his son. And lose 1 LUCK point.

Win or lose, you still look like a belligerent trouble maker to everyone and you lose 1 Alignment point. (lose 2 if you rob him)

You have 1 choice:
