How Not to Get Killed: A Guide for New Adventurers- Tip #1

[Nightstalker]

Greetings fellow adventurers!

Over many travels, I have seen great adventurers and pathetic adventurers. Now, not all of them were good guys; some of them were evil, but great none the less. However, after seeing countless failures, I figure it was about time to share some wisdom to beginners. I hope you find these tips useful, because you never know when knowing how not to get killed will help you.

Anyways, let me begin with Tip #1

This is Billy the Bandit.

Before I continue, let me tell you a bit about him. Billy was not a good kid; he constantly stole from the cookie jar, tipped over cows, and laughed at the poor (despite being a peasant himself). One day, his village kicked him out and forbade him to return. The only thing he had with him was a pair of clothes and his trusty rusty dagger. With that, he figured he would become an adventurer. The only problem was that he didn't know how to actually help people so instead he became more of a bandit adventurer.

Now back to the matter at hand

As you can clearly see, Billy is rushing towards someone hoping to rob them blind.

Unfortunately...

These are experienced adventurers. To make matters worse, they are all in plate armor, which would easily laugh at rusty weapons if it had a mouth to laugh. Also, the lead of the group heard him running through the bushes and is now facing him.

I almost forgot to tell you, Billy is not necessarily too smart either. Seeing as how he's been spotted... well you know what comes next.

This introduces Tip #1

- As a beginner, if you decide to become a bandit, it helps not to attack the most heavily armored looking travelers until you gain some experience or for that matter have good equipment. Doing so will most likely result in your immediate expulsion from life.

This is the How Not to Get Killed (HNGK: A Guide for New Adventurers). I just wanted to create something I could maybe get a couple of laughs from.

Stay tuned for Tip #2

Hah, this reads like a Monty Python sketch. Well done.

May I offer some constructive criticism?

It would be great to see the results of Billy's folly.

The writing is superb. Keep that up.

I can't wait to see if we continue to watch Billy meet his end or if other hapless adventurers get added to the pile. What's next? Don't make breakfast out of a dragon's eggs or never use a wizards wand to pick your teeth?

Haha, I can almost see how that small dagger bumps from the heavy armored guy :D

[Alfadas]

Nice! hope there are a lot of tips!

Hahaha, this is hilarious. Billy's expression is especially fitting for this scene. I wonder if the tall grass prevented him from seeing who he really is planning to rob...either ways, it'd be great to see the next tip! Will you be continuing the tips with Billy or different characters?

This is great! Keep it up. I have to admit I started at #3 and worked my way back.
