YOU are The Roaring Knight

Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club!

Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club! got hit by a car and fucking died

I, 🗡️ Anon, formally apologize for bringing back bad memories, Yuri. Though it is slightly comforting to know I am not alone in that pain... Ahem. Monika, the de facto leader of the party, seems to have made herself the face of the group.

As the party approaches, the black-furred beastkin's eyes widen by a factor of at least ten. "Whaaaaaa...? Elves? Here? You're kidding me." Nek'yo (you know her name because she's wearing a name tag) remains in disbelief for a moment, but her merchant instincts prompt her to return to her senses.

"Ahem. Welcome to the best shop in the whole everywhere! I'm Nek'yo, and I run the joint. I can sell you junk, stuff, and crap, and all that adventuring gear that adventures like. I've got everything from rope to lamp oil, and even a little impromptu explosive!"

The catgirl puffs her chest out proudly. "And I know the place like the back of my paw. If you want info, it comes with a purchase." It seems like this little vendor has a lot of heart. From what you know, The newly renamed Cove of Monsters is dark, and Nek'yo does offer a lantern...

Combining their funds, our heroes have 86 coins of the all-purpose variety. Each item that Nek'yo sells is worth a set number of these same coins. For instance, the lantern costs 7 coins, and the explosive costs 18.

What do our heroes want to do?

(Note: The dokis' in-character text is in quotations, the rest is the real them) Y: That's okay, Sword Anon. You might not have known. I suppose we can't assume everyone is aware of every post on our blog. Let us proceed. Give me a moment to get back in character... Okay, I got it. "I am aware that my kind is uncommon in the city. However, I am not a local. I am a travelling Cleric and missionary of the Patron God of Elvenkind. I aim to spread good, light, and truth in this world of evil, darkness, and lies." N: "In short, she's an aspiring head treehugger among treehuggers. Quaint, but I'm just here to smash skulls and get paid, no matter who shares my future glory." M: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Nek'yo. We could certainly use a light source of sorts on our journey, so we'd like to purchase that lantern of yours. It will be more reliable than our torches. An explosive would be useful to clear any debris, but I think we'd like to be more careful, so we'll pass. Is that acceptable?" S: Wait, out of character again for a moment. What would we need rope for? The equipment list during character creation suggested it, so I already have some. N: Not to hang yourself, that's for sure. I won't let you. Y: N-Natsuki! It's not for that at all! You and your edgy humor... It's for climbing over cliffs, crossing distances, and things of this sort. A rope can let you travel further and faster with enough strength and agility. S: You've really developed a knack for backhanded compliments lately, haven't you, Nat? You're going soft on us, ehehe. I appreciate it, though. I know you wouldn't, even if it's fictional. Anyway, I think we have enough rope. We wouldn't need much, right? M: I don't think so. "I consulted with my companions. We'll buy the lantern. You said that if I pay you extra, you'll give us some information, wouldn't you?" Monika pays Nek'yo 12 coins. "If you can share some information about the area, what troubles we may face, and any rumors we might find useful, that'll be much appreciated. We'd prefer to hear it from someone local rather than solely relying on our questgivers. For extra confirmation, that is."
