Inganekwane yokuthi umlingo “omubi” kanye nephathi “enhle” icishe yamyisa onqenqemeni inkosi “yentando yeningi”. Kodwa umdlalo ubuseyimpumelelo, naphezu kwakho konke.
Ekuqaleni kwale ndaba, yayingekho i-unicorn, futhi yayingabonwa kusengaphambili. Futhi kube nesimemo sokubamba iqhaza komunye wemidlalo yokulingisa indima ejwayelekile, lapho inkosi yethu yayifuna ukuzizamela yona isistimu entsha (ebizwa nge-True20). Kwakungu-2014, futhi ngaleso sikhathi iqembu lethu lase liqongelele iminyaka eminingana yesipiliyoni sokudlala i-D&D (ikakhulukazi engu-3.5) nezinye izinhlelo (isibonelo, i-Episodic World of Darkness).
Ngakho-ke, ngokusekelwe ezintweni ezingokoqobo zesilungiselelo esihlongozwayo, ngiqhamuke neqhawe legundane, ukuze ngingabi umuntu olula oyisicefe. Igama lakhe kwakungu Fry Skaven futhi ekupheleni komdlalo, isiphetho sakhe, yebo, saba nzima kakhulu. Ngokomlando engangiwusikisela, wayeyindoda ehlala endaweni yezimayini, lapho abantu bendawo babemba uhlobo oluthile lwamatshe akhanyayo. Ngokushesha kwacaca ukuthi la matshe abangela ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo, ngakho izakhamuzi zendawo zaba abantu bamagundane. Eqinisweni, isibongo seqhawe siwuhlobo lokubhekisela ku-Warhammer emnandi (kahle, uthola umqondo).
Isahluko kuqala. Izibungu zikaCarla
Ekuqaleni komdlalo, i-rat-man, kanye nabanye abahlanganyeli (ababengabantu nje), bangena "Inhliziyo Yezwe" inhlangano yemilingo. Lapha kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi kukhona umhlaba oyinhloko othakazelisa impela, onezakhamuzi ezingalibaleki, kodwa uhlelo olucasulayo lwe-D&D-like True20 olukhethwe njengesisekelo.
Kungani ngingathandi i-true20 kakhulu? Yebo, izinto eziningi. Ngamafuphi, lokhu ukuphonswa okungadingekile. Kuhlale kuningi kakhulu kimi ku-D&D, bese kuba nesici sokukhathala. Lapho uthola umonakalo, udinga ukugoqa ukuze uthole amandla. Ama-crits angenamsebenzi, ulwandle lwama-stunlocks, "amaphiramidi" ahlanekezelwe esikhundleni samahithi (angikaze ngikuthande lokho), njalonjalo.
Umqondo wokukhathala ikakhulukazi unesisindo ku-psyche. Noma kunalokho ukuqaliswa kwayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuleveli 20 noma ileveli 4, ithuba lakho lokukhathala ngemva kokulingisa licishe lifane. Uma uqongelela amaphuzu angu-XNUMX wokukhathala, cishe uyisidumbu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, konke ukukhathala kunikeza ama-minuses ukuba lula, funda iminus ukuze ushaye ngama-castes. Futhi, uma ama-castes elandelana, khona-ke inhlawulo iqoqana ethubeni lokungakhathali. Futhi, umlingo wesitha "angakukhathala" kungazelelwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi esimisiwe. Akudingekile ukusho, ukupela khipha ubungqabavu Lokhu kufanele kube khona kumlingo. Kumunca ukukhathala komunye. Iqiniso ngokuthinta. Ngomqulu ozowushaya kanye nomqulu wokulinganisa intando. Okuphendulela ukulwa nomthakathi kube ukulwa kusuka ekungenalutho kuye kokungenalutho, kanye nokulwa neqhawe elithile kube ukubamba ukumangala okulandelwa ukulahla izinselo.
Akuyona yonke into embi kakhulu, kunjalo. Cha, Nkulunkulu, engikubhalayo kuwukwethusa okumsulwa! Kukhona ababoshiwe, ngenxa yokusebenzisa imali ongaphuma ekamu wenze ezinye izinto ezijabulisayo. Kodwa empeleni azishintshi lutho esithombeni sezwe. Izitha ezinzima nazo zinabo. Kukhona indlela enhle yokubhekana nanoma ubani (cishe) - ukuqeda ukukhathala ngokwesekwa yiqembu (yize kimina, lapho lonke iqembu AKUSONA izangoma, akulula kangako). Kodwa, ngokweqiniso, ukube inkosi yethu ibingazange ikhansele imithetho ethile futhi isinikeze amandla athile okukopela, ngabe lo mdlalo ubungeke ube khona.
Okulandelayo, thina, njengamalungu amasha enhlangano, kwadingeka siphumelele uhlobo oluthile lovivinyo. Umqaphi wethu, isidwabana esibi kangaka, wathumela i-pariah ukuba iyobamba inqwaba yokhanyikhanyi ehlathini lendawo. Inqola enezimbiza zokhanyikhanyi yafika nalo msebenzi. Endleleni, isibankwa sahlanganyela nathi, sibhema ihuka, njengomlingiswa oyingcweti. I-bard yethu yazama le hookah futhi yazuza isiqalekiso esinamandla, esabe sesilwela ukuyisusa kuye (futhi kubonakala sengathi asizange siyisuse ngokuphelele).
Ekuqaleni, yonke into yayihamba kabi ngama-fireflies, ikakhulukazi kusukela kulokho kususwa amakhowe asabekayo atholakala: ama-fireflies ayendikindiki noma afile ngokuphelele ezinhlamvu. Ngenhlanhla yethu le mibango ibibonakala ingenabungozi kumaqhawe uqobo, ngakho ukuwasebenzisa sakwazi ukuqoqa isibalo esidingekayo sokhanyikhanyi. Nokho, sisendleleni ebuyayo sahlaselwa abaphangi. Futhi baqala ukusishaya kabuhlungu. Abantu bami begundane sebevele bakubona lokho kuye isiteleka sokuqala Izitha zazingabandi futhi zingashisi, ngakho wakudonsa ngenkuthalo ukukhathala. Eqenjini lethu, sibize ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sipelingi esibi ngempela “ngeseshini yomlingo omnyama.” Ngeke ngisho ukuthi ngisize kakhulu empini, kodwa ngaba nesandla.
Isimanga yikuthi sisalwa. O, bekufanele ngabe ubonile ukuthi uBard wethu wasihlukumeza kanjani isiboshwa esisindile. Eqinisweni, lokhu kuyiqhinga lakhe elikhethekile: "ukungathathi hlangothi" okunjalo kuhlale kugijima "ukungathathi hlangothi", kodwa ngezikhathi ezinjalo ngomlingo uba "ububi obumsulwa". Wahlukumeza isiboshwa kwaze kwaba sekufeni... futhi, yini embi kakhulu, hhayi ngamaculo nhlobo.
Angikhumbuli kahle ukuthi konke kwaphetha kanjani ngabaphangi, kubonakala sengathi wonke umuntu wangcwatshwa ekugcineni. Kodwa ngiyakhumbula ukuthi iqembu lethu lalizothatha izidumbu eziwumphumela liye edolobheni, nakuba ngangithi lona kwakuwumbono OMUBI ngempela.
Isahluko sesibili. Ama-apula e-Elven of discord
Isikhathi eside, isikhathi eside, silethe okhanyikhanyi futhi safunda ku-dwarf edidekile ukuthi, empeleni, lokhu kuwuvivinyo olujwayelekile lokubhuqa kwabaqalayo, lapho wonke ama-neophyte ajwayelekile ehluleka. Umpofu, ukube uyazi ngale nto esiyenze kubaphangi...
Ngokulandelayo, inhloko yenhlangano yasiphatha, isitshela ngamahhabhula apholile namangalisayo e-elven ayewadinga kakhulu. Sasingasenandawo saya ezinduneni. Futhi endaweni ethile emazweni aphikisanayo, lapho ama-elves engavumeli muntu. Njengoba sesifike esigodini sesintu sasemngceleni futhi sawela umfula, sazithola sisezindaweni eziyishumi nanye esenqatshelwe.
Kwakukhona uhlobo oluthile lwehlathi lasendulo elalishiywe lapho. UFry wami wayesefunde ukupela ngaleso sikhathi izingqondo zengqondo, okuvumela ukuthi ukwazi ukuzwa izidalwa ezihlakaniphile. Ngosizo lwalo, indoda yegundane yaphenya ihlathi, yabamba ingqondo eyodwa kuphela engaziwa kwenye indawo ngaphambili.
Ngemva kokulahleka kancane, sathola isihlahla esinezithelo zemilingo, sazithatha, kodwa savula inkambu yamandla kanye nohlobo oluthile lwe-monster yokuphepha. Sikwazile ukubhekana nenunu, kodwa hhayi ngenkundla. Ngemva kwesikhashana, kwavela i-elf (kubonakala sengathi kwakuyingqondo yakhe ukuthi uFry wakuzwa ngaphambili) futhi wathembisa ukusikhulula ngokushintshanisa ama-apula. Ngokwemvelo, iqembu alizange lifune ukuyeka ukuphanga, ngakho-ke i-elf yaqala ukuthunyelwa ngendlela eyaziwayo. Nokho, kamuva waphinde wabonakala futhi sanquma ukumzalela: ukumbamba lapho edlula ensimini. Futhi kwenzeka, i-elf yazithululela uhlobo oluthile lwebhodlela futhi isithiyo samandla sangena kuye, singena ngaphakathi sawela ngenxa yeqhinga lethu futhi ... okunye ukuhlushwa okwenziwe yi-bard.
Kwavela ukuthi idlozi lalisikhohlisa futhi yayingekho imali eyanele ukuba wonke umuntu adlule umgoqo. Nokho, wayenezithako ezingavamile ebhokisini. Kwakungekho okukhethekile okwakungenziwa; i-elf yenqaba ukukhuluma ngalokho okwenziwa yilezi zidakamizwa. Abantu bami begundane babefuna ukuhlola oyedwa wabo ku-elf, bluff futhi babone ukusabela. Kodwa wahlangabezana nodonga lokungaqondi kahle ekusebenzeni kweqhawe leqembu elikhulu.
Lokhu, kunjalo, idrama ethile ekhethekile kakhulu engingaphezu kokuqonda kwami. Uthi umlingiswa wakho ufuna ukwenza okuthile futhi kungazelelwe elinye ilungu leqembu ligijimela iqhawe lakho, alibambe futhi alibambe ongezansi. Ini? I-Ratphobia noma okuthile, ingabe izangoma ezimbi zaziphonsa ebuntwaneni? Akucacile.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, wayengenazo izisusa ezicashile, eyodwa nje engaqondakali engaqondakali "Angifuni ukuthi wenze lokhu" komunye umdlali. Ngakho, yini elandelayo? Ngithi ngiyabonga ukungangiqedi? Futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, iqhawe lami kufanele lisabele kanjani manje kulungu leqembu lalo emdlalweni wesikhathi esizayo? Futhi kufanele asabele. Kufanele! Okungenani - beka ingulube phansi.
Isahluko sesithathu, lapho amagundane elwa khona ngamapulangwe
Okulandelayo, imbiza yomuthi omnyama yaphuka futhi into emnyama yafakwa kumuntu wamagundane. Lapho uFry ephaphama, kwavela ibutho eliyishumi nanye livela ehlathini. Ngemva komgilingwane kazakwabo, uFry wayengafuni ukuba nento yokwenza nale ndoda, ngakho indoda yamagundane yenza sengathi nayo iyisisulu lapha futhi yayizama ukubalekela iqhawe. Phela, empeleni, kwakunjalo.
Kodwa ama-elves, aholwa yindlovukazi eqhoshayo, ngokusobala wonke ama-telepaths nama-psychics, ngoba ashaya wonke umuntu ngemicibisholo yokulala futhi aphonsa uFry kanye neqhawe esitokisini esifanayo. Futhi kwakungekho ngisho mibuzo mayelana nalokhu; sabizelwa ukuzophenywa ngokuqiniseka okungamaphesenti ayikhulu ukuthi siyiqembu elilodwa. Imizamo kaFry yokuvela njengesisulu ayizange ishaywe indiva. Ngenxa yalokho, saphoqeleka ukuthi silwe nama-elves emqhudelwaneni.
KULUNGILE. Masifake ukulingisa okuningi, emdlalweni wokulingisa noma kwenye indawo. UFry waqala ukubeka ingcindezi ngokungaguquki eqinisweni lokuthi wayengeke alwe, futhi engafuni (nabambisene nabo nabanjalo). Futhi ngokuvamile, uyisidalwa esingajabulile ngokujulile esinempilo enzima njenge-mutant, futhi ama-elves aphakeme futhi ahloniphekile (njengoba aziveza ezinkulumweni zawo) akufanele ahlekise izidalwa ezinjalo ezingenakuzisiza (futhi angizange nginwebe iqiniso. ukuthi iqhawe liyisangoma) . Ukusabela kwenkosi kuwukuziba. Uzolwa, period.
Ngifunde ukuthi kungani lokhu kungafanele kwenziwe ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami kokuba yingcweti. Eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu ngaphambili, emdlalweni wami, ngangihlose, ngokusho kwetulo, ukuthumela amaqhawe enkundleni, lapho kwakudingeka balwe bodwa besebenzisa izilwane ezifuywayo ezikhethekile. Ngacabanga ukuthi bazoyithanda, njengoba kwakuhlelwe imiqhudelwano emnandi neqhudelana. Kodwa-ke, abadlali bebengafuni ukuya lapho ngesikhathi befunda ngethemba lokungena enkundleni yempi bevela yisidalwa esiqaphe isitokisi sabo. Nokho, ngabe sengihlangana nabo phakathi, ngibavumela ukuba babaleke esitokisini ngaphambi kwaleso sikhathi. Futhi lokhu kwakungelona uhlobo oluthile lokungenelela kukaNkulunkulu, ngalandela lokho amaqhawe ayezama ukukwenza futhi akwazi ukuzikhulula.
Lapha sahudulwa wukukloloda kwentamo saya esigcawini esilandelayo seqiniso kuphela. Inkululeko enjalo yokuzikhethela. Ngize ngiqonde ukuthi kungani lokhu kwakushiwo - inkosi yayifuna ukuthi sipende kahle amalungiselelo akhe esakhiwo, kodwa esimweni esinjalo akusebenzi ngaleyo ndlela.
Kuhle. UFry uthembise indlovukazi ye-elf engxoxweni ukuthi izozisola ngalokhu. Amadlozi avele amhleke. Saphinda saphonswa esitokisini isikhashana. Okungukuthi, yonke into ephikisana nomlingo futhi kuzo zonke ezinye izinzwa "i-bulletproof". UFry akazange aziphindiselele kumngane wakhe weqhawe, kusukela manje izinkinga zihlukile, futhi okwamanje akukho lutho olukhethekile olwenzayo.
Ekugcineni basiyisa enkundleni. Lapha, enkundleni (kangazi ukuthi kungani?) Ungaphonsa, unkosi wangitshela. Indoda yegundane imelana kwaze kwaba sekugcineni: akazange athathe isikhali futhi wenqaba ukwenza lutho, ethi, uma ufuna ukubulala umuntu ongenakuzivikela, ngicela. Kwabe sekudedelwa ama-elves ambalwa phezu kweqhawe nami.
Kodwa. UFry wayengafuni nhlobo ukulwa. Ngisho namanje, lapho sisele nenketho eyodwa. Lapha kufanele kushiwo ukuthi igundane lami lalinomlingo wokukhohlisa. Futhi nganquma ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi sokuzisebenzisa (bengingamane ngiphonse umcibisholo weqhwa endaweni eyinhloko, kodwa kwakusobala ngokusobala ukuthi wayezoba nohlobo oluthile lwesithiyo sokuzivikela ezizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi, kucatshangelwa zonke izinhlobo ze-anti. -amakhamera omlingo nokuhlaselwa kwe-clairvoyance).
Ngakho-ke, uFry wanquma ukuthi akukho okuzomlahlekela futhi kufanele angene ngaphakathi. Uvele wahlaba indlovukazi yamadlozi (bathi uyicelile) wamemezela enkundleni yonke ukuthi manje zonke izidlozi zizobona ukuthi ngubani ngempela ezibusayo. Kwavela inkohliso ye-elf eyinhloko enqunu ngokuphelele enezilonda ezithweni zayo zangasese. Inkosi imile umzuzu!
Kamuva, kwenye iseshini yemidlalo (futhi sadlala lo mdlalo ingqikithi yamaseshini amabili noma amathathu), inkosi yajula emithethweni yathi angikwazi ukwenza lokho - bathi inkohliso yendawo isebenza eyodwa kuphela. Kodwa kwase kwephuzile ukuphuza iBorjomi, indlela ababedlala ngayo leso simo kwakuyindlela ababeyidlala ngayo.
Isahluko Sesine: Lapho Ojantshi Bagasela Khona
Ngemuva kokuthi "ukuqalisa phansi," inkosi yembula ukuthi i-elf (ngokungazelelwe) yayinendandatho exosha ngayo umlingo ngokuqondile. Empeleni, khona lapho, ngokunyakazisa isandla sakhe, i-elf eyinhloko yawuchitha lowo mbono. Futhi ngacasuka ngempela. UFry wazama ukwenza umgoqo wamandla ukuze azihlukanise nabahlaseli, kodwa kwabonakala sengathi ususiwe futhi. Izitha ezafika zaqala ukumbulala.
Hhayi-ke, ngiyawaqonda amaphuzu amaningi, kodwa le mpendulo... I-IMHO, lokhu ukwehluleka kobuhlakani okungathi sína. Okungalindelekile nakakhulu kumuntu odlala ngokuthakazelisa kakhulu, wonke umuntu odumisa izincazelo zakhe ezinhle, onobuningi bemidlalo ngaphansi kwebhande lakhe.
Angazi, bekufanele ngabe ngenze ngandlela thize ngobuqili kakhulu, futhi ngingawugqizi qakala uhlelo lwami lokudala ngepiyano exakile kangaka evela ehlathini. Kodwa ngenzenjani, ngithole indlela yokuphuma - ngiyitholile.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi simo saxazululwa ngokuyinhloko yinkosi ngokwakhe: umeluleki wenhlangano yethu wafika, owathintwa omunye wamalungu eqembu lethu (yena ngokwakhe akazange abanjwe). Igundane lase lizokufa, kodwa udoti omnyama azichithela wona wamqinisa. Kwakuwuhlobo oluthile lwesiqalekiso esikhulu. Ezwa amandla, uFry waqala ukulwa nabahlaseli, kodwa wayesaboshwe ngandlela thile futhi evalelwa ejele.
Umeluleki wenhlangano ngandlela thize wancenga idlozi ukuthi lidedele wonke umuntu ngaphandle kwegundane. Futhi kamuva, ngenkathi ekhuluma neqembu, wahlongoza uhlelo olulandelayo - omunye wethu ungena esitokisini sikaFry futhi amgwaze ngenaliti ekhethekile edonsa umphefumulo wakhe. Ngemva kwalokhu, iqhawe lami liyafa ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, futhi umphefumulo oboshelwe yenaliti uphindukuzalwa ube yisidalwa esisha. Benza kanjalo.
Isahluko sesihlanu. Ukuhamba kuka-Knight
Nganikezwa ukuthi ngizalwe kabusha ngisesimweni somuntu noma ngisebenzise uphawu olungahleliwe. Ngakhetha lokhu kwakamuva ngoba ekuqaleni ngangingafuni ukudlala lokhu njengomuntu. Ngibe yihhashi (ngonyaka wehhashi, akumangazi!). Yiqiniso, ngalungisa kancane ukubukeka futhi kwavela i-unicorn emnyama enamehlo aphuzi (umbala weso ofanayo wawukumuntu wegundane). Walahlekelwa ikhono lokuxhumana ngezwi, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, umbono omnyama wegundane wanyamalala. Kodwa wathola ikhono lokuxhumana nge-telepathically kanye nezinzuzo ezithile egazini lakhe elimnyama (elingazange lihambe), njengokuqina okukhulayo.
Ngenxa yokuzalwa kabusha, ngaba nesizathu esihle "sokuqalisa kabusha" ugqozi lomlingiswa wami, ngikhohlwe umehluko phakathi kwegundane langaphambili neqhawe.
Okulandelayo, savikela idolobhana elisemngceleni ekuhlaselweni okuyisijeziso kwama-elves. Ngase ngikhumbula isithombe sikaFry ebamba ibhadi lethu, emphonsa emhlane futhi egijima ebheke kwabalingani ababengene empini. Lapho sigijima sikhuphuka, i-bard yaqala ukuqinisa iqembu, futhi ihhashi lami laphakama, laphonsa umcibisholo weqhwa.
Umuzi washiswa kwadingeka sihlehle. Kwalandela amanye ama-berserker elves ayingozi. Sabhekana nazo futhi sesifikile futhi isikhathi sokuzilibazisa okungeyona okubalulekile kwe-bard yethu. Ukuhlukumeza nokubulala.
Nokho, inkosi yakhumbula le nqubo yethu futhi yanquma ukudlala ngendlela ehlukile. Isiboshwa asibuzwanga buhlungu! Futhi wayengakwesabi ukufa, wayengenandaba. Uhlobo oluthile lwebhomu elizibulele elingenanjongo ekuphileni. Awukwazi ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi iqembu liyixazulule kanjani le nkinga. Le dlozi bathola izidakamizwa!
Manje leso kwakuyisikhathi esiyingqophamlando. Yeka indlela okuyindida ngayo ukubuyisela idlozi injongo yokuphila ngokulihilela ekubeni umlutha wezidakamizwa. Udokotela wethu wamakhambi wakhipha umuthi onamandla futhi wanikezwa isiboshwa kwaze kwaba yilapho siqala ukuzwa izimpawu zokuhoxa. Ngakho-ke waba nokwamukela okwengeziwe, watshela ayekwazi, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, wahlala ephila (okuyivelakancane kulabo ababehlangana nabo).
Ngamafuphi nje, akukhona ukungapheleli kwesistimu noma ukwehluleka kwabahlanganyeli okungavimbela abadlali ekutholeni injabulo kugeyimu nezigcawu zezindaba ezimnandi.
Isahluko sesithupha. Amaholide eningizimu eneqhwa
Ngemva kokubhekana nalokhu, sabuyela enhlanganweni futhi sabamba iqhaza ohlotsheni oluthile lomncintiswano wenhlangano. Kwakudingekile ukuhambisana nenqola eneqoqo elingavamile lezingubo. Bekunezinqola ezinjalo (ezintathu, kubonakala sengathi) futhi besidinga ukuthi singagcini nje ngokufika lapho siya khona, kodwa futhi nokuvimbela bonke esiqhudelana nabo ukuze silethe lonke iqoqo le-couturier yendawo iphephile futhi izwakala. Linda, kodwa yeka ukuphepha uma kufanele sikulwele! Okusho ukuthi, kunethuba elikhulu lokulimaza okuthile kule nqubo. Ekugcineni, sabhekana nalokhu, salimaza kancane izinhlangano eziqhudelanayo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-bard yethu yayilokhu iba yimbi kakhulu. Kodwa sasingekho isidingo sokubhema zonke izinhlobo ze-hookah ezingajwayelekile. Iqiniso liwukuthi wazidonsela kuye uhlobo oluthile lomoya omubi, owawumhlupha ebusuku futhi ngezinye izikhathi umlume (kangangokuthi empeleni kwasala imikhondo). Ngaphansi kwethonya lakho konke lokhu kubusa, i-bard kancane kancane yalahlekelwa ukubukeka kwayo komuntu - uboya bayo bakhula, umsila wakhe nokunye. Ngisho nenhloko yenhlangano ayizange iqonde indlela yokuxazulula lesi simo, kodwa wayesakwazi ukusihlelela iseshini ehlangene yokungena equlekile: lonke iqembu lahanjiswa ephusheni lika-bard futhi samsiza ukubhekana nomoya. . Yiqiniso, ngokwengxenye. Kodwa wazizwa engconywana.
Kwabe sekuvela inkinga entsha - indodakazi yenhloko yenhlangano yathunjwa. Kuqhamuke inkundla emnyama ephile saka edolobheni. Sathunyelwa nge-teleport endaweni ekude eningizimu (kuze kube manje kwakungasekho eningizimu nhlobo - ebusika) ukuze sithole isiko lasendulo likadrako elalizosivumela ukuba sixoshe ubumnyama. Ngaleso sikhathi, uFry wayesefunde ukundiza futhi ngenxa yalokhu sagwema izingozi ezithile, njengoba iqhawe lami lalithwele ezinye.
Sabhekana nemidondoshiya enolaka, okwathi ekugcineni sabaleka futhi sahlangabezana nephakethe lempisi elalilawulwa impisi eyodwa ekhethekile yemilingo (noma kwakuyingwe yeqhwa, angisakhumbuli kahle). Umhlambi wawusihaqa lapho sima. UFry uvumelane nomholi wephakethe ngocingo ukuthi "sizokunikeza ukudla, futhi ungasithinti."
Ngakho safika endaweni yokuhlala ye-orc futhi sangena ezingxoxweni nabo. Asizange samukelwe ngokukhethekile, kodwa umholi wanquma ukuhlangana nathi phakathi nendawo futhi enze isivumelwano: simlethela i-artifact kadrako, futhi uzosibonisa indawo esiyidingayo. Kodwa thina ngokwethu sasiyidinga le-artifact, ngakho sathembisa ukuthembisa, kodwa sasingeke ngempela siyinikeze. Umholi wama-orcs wayenomfowethu owayenolaka kithi, owaqale wahona, wabe esesimema ngasese ukuba simnikeze leyo-artifact. Ukuthi ubebala ngani akukacaci. Okokuqala wenza kucace ukuthi uyasizonda, bese uqhamuka nokusikisela?
Ngenxa yalokho, sayiswa lapho sasidingeka khona: eminye imigede, lapho sasisebenzelana khona ne-golem yezokuphepha futhi sakwazi ukukhasa ekamelweni eliyimfihlo lapho kwakukhona konke esasikudinga ukuze senze isabelo. Kwakukhona nokuphuma ngasese lapho. Okusho ukuthi, sinawo wonke amakhadi ezandleni zethu: uma ufuna, ndiza ngokushesha, uma ufuna, buya futhi unikeze omunye wabazalwane i-artifact. Besifuna ukuphushela wonke umuntu phezulu, ngoba uFry wayazi indlela yokudala inkohliso. Kodwa manje angisakhumbuli kahle ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani. Kwakubonakala sengathi izinhlelo ziyizinhlelo, kodwa ekugcineni zakhafulela futhi zavele zandizela zasuka lapho, ukuze zingamoshi futhi ziqhubeke nendaba eyinhloko.
Isahluko sesikhombisa, lapho wonke umuntu eza endaweni emnyama
Lapho sibuya, sathumela ngocingo endaweni engafanele: sagcina sisemhlanganweni nomuntu osevele wajwayeleka kabi, umnakekeli wethu “okungathi usamile”. Wasikisela ukuba simnike umqulu onesiko likadrako, futhi uzosinika imali eningi. Siphendula, sabuza ukuthi inhloko yenhlangano izothini kulokhu, nokuthi uKarla wayitholaphi le “mali eningi” kungazelelwe. UKarla ukuqinisekisile ukuthi konke kuzolungiswa nenhloko yenhlangano, kanti okunye akubanga yinkinga. U-bard wethu wayecasuke ngakho konke lokhu kungaqondakali futhi wabuza uKarla ngokuningiliziwe: yini, kanjani futhi ngani. UCarla wayedidekile ebufakazini bakhe, wachitha amanzi, futhi ngokujwayelekile wayengathandwa yithi kuwo wonke umdlalo (kahle, wayenengeka ngempela, inkosi yenza umsebenzi omuhle wokudlala lo mfana). Sinqume ukuthi kulungile, asibuyele endaweni emnyama kamuva futhi sizoyibuyisela lapho. Futhi letha imali.
Akusho lutho, akekho owayezomnika lutho. Nokho, uKarla uthe asikwazi konke ngenhloko yenhlangano. Uma enza isiko kuye ngokwakhe, lokhu kuzoholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu. Ngemuva kokubonisana, safinyelela esinqumweni sokuza kumphathi wenhlangano kanye ne-pawn u-Karla nama-giblets akhe. Kulula ukusho kunokwenza. Banquma ukuwugcina lo mqulu, bethi sizowenza ngokwethu lo mkhuba, ngoba kwakungekho muntu omethembayo. Batshela umphathi weqembu ukuthi kwakungasenakwenzeka ukwenza isiko kunoma ubani omunye ngaphandle kwethu futhi bafuna ukuba silethe izithako ezidingekayo zalokhu. Akazange ajabule ngokukhethekile futhi kubonakala sengathi uzosikholisa. Kodwa i-bard yaphikelela ukuthi beze endaweni emnyama. Kamuva. Lapho sizokunikeza uKarla. Futhi ulethe izithako.
Sabe sesizama ukufunda umqulu. Noma kunalokho, uFry wazama, njengoba bekunguye kuphela umlingo ogcwele eqenjini. Umqulu wavulwa. Khona-ke ihhashi elincane lazizwa kabi - ulwazi lwathululelwa ekhanda lalo, umzimba walo waqina imizuzwana embalwa, futhi isiqalekiso esimnyama esithinta iqhawe sacishe sanqamuka (umqulu, phela, uxosha ubumnyama). Inkosi ihlongoze ukuthi inqume ukuthi uFry uyakwamukela yini ukuxoshwa kobumnyama noma uyamelana nakho. Nginqume ukuthi makube nobumnyama, ngaphandle kwalokho ngizogcina nginomlingisi ongadlaleki ngokuphelele, futhi sengijwayele. Ngenxa yalokho, ubumnyama bangaphakathi baqina, i-unicorn yaba i-infernal: amaphiko esikhumba avela (kanye nekhono elakhelwe ngaphakathi lokundiza, hhayi nge-spell), amalangabi amnyama esikhundleni se-mane, uphondo lwe-onyx, futhi amehlo abomvu.
I-bard yethu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ivumelane namalungu amabili abalulekile enhlangano ngokohlelo olujwayelekile: “wozani emkhakheni omnyama.” Omunye wahluleka, omunye akazange.
Futhi manje ihora X, sisendaweni. Futhi sengiyaqonda ukuthi uFry angadlula kulobu bumnyama ngaphandle kwamasiko, ngoba yena ngokwakhe unale nto ngaphakathi kwakhe. Uma iqhawe lisondela eduze nendilinga, ukudlidliza kuvela kuyo. Yebo, udinga ukuya lapho. Kodwa okwamanje ngiyahamba, ngilinde isikhathi esifanele. Okokuqala, inhloko yenhlangano iyavela futhi ithi akuzona zonke izithako ezingatholakala. Umabhebhana ucela ukucasha okwamanje. I-Guildmaster ayibonakali. Kwabe sekufika elinye ilungu lenhlangano nalo lacasha. Bese kuvela uCarla futhi uletha itshe eliyigugu elikhulu.
Okuhlekisayo wukuthi leli tshe eliyigugu belidingeka ukwenza isiko. UCarla ubengakwazi lokhu, ngakho wantshontsha ekhanda lenhlangano.
Ibhadi inika uKarla umqulu futhi sinemizuzwana embalwa ngenkathi ethuswa ukwaziswa okugeleza kuye okuvela emqulwini. Ubamba ukuhlukana (kubonakala kumphathi wenhlangano ovelile) bese sivalelisa kumphathi wethu omubi noyisiphukuphuku “njengokungathi usamile”. Izenzakalo eziningi zenzeka lapha ngesikhathi esisodwa: ilungu lesibili lenhlangano liyavela, futhi abantu bakaKarl bayasidubula besuka kwenye indawo ohlangothini. Esebenzisa lokhu, Fry ugijimela endaweni emnyama futhi angene ngaphakathi.
Ngaleso sikhathi, umholi wenhlangano uthola umcibisholo, futhi umsizi uzama ukumsindisa. Kodwa isikhathi sesihambile, inhloko yenhlangano nayo ibingenalo uzwelo ku-bard yethu, futhi ngaphansi kwesicathulo sokunikeza usizo, iphusha umcibisholo ujule. Leli yibhadi elicashile esinalo. Amen.
UFry uzithole esesigabeni esimnyama. Lapha wathola ukuthi phakathi nendawo kwakukhona amantombazane aboshiwe (kuhlanganise nendodakazi ye-guildmaster). Enye yazo kumele izale umesiya omnyama. Iqhawe lami lacelwa ukuthi lilawule le nqubo futhi libe isandla sokudla salesi sidalwa esizohola izixuku ezimnyama. I-unicorn ye-infernal yanquma ukucabanga okwamanje.
Bezingekho izinketho eziningi lapha. Ngeke kwenzeke ukudlala neqembu - lezi izicelo eziyimfihlo futhi bazongithola ngaso leso sikhathi. Futhi azikho izisusa ezikhethekile - kahle, bazinikele ukujoyina. Ngeke wazi ukuthi ubani onikezwa lokhu. Angizange ngisibone isizathu esithile sokujoyina umesiya omnyama. Uma lonke iqembu likufuna futhi, sizobe sesicabanga ngakho. Noma uma uFry ephoqeleka ukuba athathe lesi sinyathelo ngokuthatha izikhali ngokumelene ne-unicorn: bathi, kungani wena, mnumzane, ungagqoki isimo sezulu, konke kumnyama, futhi kumnyama?
Isahluko sesishiyagalombili. Sawubona, nginomlayezo omnyama ongenayo kuwe.
Amalungu ombutho acele leli qembu ukuthi lingaphumi edolobheni kuze kube kucaciswa zonke izimo zesigameko. Abachithanga sikhathi benza isiko, elinye lamaqhawe ethu lakwazi ukuxosha ubumnyama.
Khona-ke amalungu eqembu avele athola “i-sms emnyama”. Kwaba nguFry wami owagcina ephumile endaweni emnyama futhi waxhumana namalungu eqembu lakhe ngocingo, wabe esendiza ngokwakhe emhlanganweni.
Sabe sesifika endaweni futhi sakwazi ukwenza umhume ngaphakathi. Fry, yebo, ayizange ingene kuwo, kodwa yangena odongeni olumnyama lwe-sphere. Futhi ngeke wazi, isiqephu senziwe ngomlingo wokukhanya.
Ngaphakathi, isithombe asikashintshi kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwamantombazane, bekukhona namabhilidi ayisipesheli anabantu abaqhwakele ngaphakathi. Ukuze usondele enkabeni ye-sphere, kwakudingeka ukukhulula lezi zakhiwo emandleni amnyama.
Saqale sasondela ohlotsheni oluthile lwetende elalifana nesekisi. Yayingekho indlela yokungena ngomnyango ongemuva. Ngemva kokuhlolwa kolwazi lwayo lwemilingo, inkosi yabika ukuthi le ndawo yayifana nengosi yokuya kwenye indawo.
Yonke into lapha yayingaphansi kwemithetho yayo ekhethekile. Ngemva kokuthenga amathikithi ku-cashier emnyango, sakwazi ukungena ngaphakathi... sagcina sesivalelwe ehhokweni elinamahlosi. Umzwilili obukeka eyidemoni wahamba ngemva kwaleli kheji, ekhipha zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezimbi. Ngesikhathi ama-fighters ethu ebhekene nama-tigers, ngawachitha amahlandla amabi ka-tamer izikhathi ezimbalwa, kwase kuvela ukuthi kwakungenzeka ukuthi ngimdubule ngekheji. Ngasekupheleni kwempi, uFry wajikijela ukuhlakazeka odongeni lwekheji futhi iqhawe lethu lagxumela ngaphandle lakhipha i-tamer. Amahlosi ayebulewe ahlakazeka ngokushesha futhi sabuya. Ngakho, sakhulula isakhiwo esisodwa.
Okulandelayo kwakunesakhiwo esinesibuko esikhulu esisithe umnyango. Kwakungenakwenzeka futhi ukungena lapho, futhi uma umile futhi ubheka ngaphakathi, amehlo aqala ukubonakala esibukweni. Sibonga uNkulunkulu ukuthi sasihlakaniphe ngokwanele ukuba sisuke sisondele esibukweni ngamunye ngamunye. Kwenze ukuphinda kabili kwethu!
Lesi futhi kwaba umzuzu omnandi ongasoze walibaleka. Unkosi uzidwebele kabusha amashidi eqhawe lethu ukuze asebenzise amakhono ethu namapharamitha.
Okungenani ama-clones ethu angadonsa izintambo ngokuthanda kwawo, futhi ngeke abagxeke ngakho. Ukhululekile.
Sabhekana kalula namaqhawe uma kuqhathaniswa, ikakhulukazi njengoba saqala ukukhumula zonke izinhlobo zezingubo zokuziqinisa kusengaphambili. Ukwehlisa iwele likaFry kube nzima kakhulu. Nginqume ukuyidlala iphephile kancane futhi ngenze umgoqo wamandla kusenesikhathi ukuze iwele lingandizeli noma kuphi. Kodwa iqhawe lami lalahlekelwa cishe yikho konke ukukhathala kwalo ngeziphonso. Ngokuvamile, impi yavela into enjengale: ama-unicorns azama, ngamazinga ahlukahlukene okuphumelela, ukuphuza ukukhathala komunye nomunye, kanti okwamanje amaqhawe ashaya kancane kancane omunye wabo. Akukaqediwe. Ngakho saphuma esakhiweni sesibili.
Isahluko Sesishiyagalolunye. Yidla kakhulu lawa ma-labyrinths esibuko futhi uphuze igazi elimnyama
Ngemva kokucekelwa phansi kwesibuko, isakhiwo sesibili asizange sikhishwe, njengoba ngangicabanga, kwavuleka indlela eya etendeni. Yilapho iqembu lethu libheke khona. Ngaphakathi kwakukhona i-labyrinth yesibuko. Ngemva kokuyizungeza kancane, saphumela ehholo eliyindilinga, eduze nomngcele walo okwakunezibuko. Komunye kuqhamuke ibhubesi elimnyama elinamehlo akhanya ngokukhanya okuluhlaza, umzimba wakhe ubonakala umbozwe ungqimba oluncane lwegobolondo lesibuko. Impi isiqalile.
Kwavela ukuthi uvimba noma ubonisa ukuhlasela okuqondile kanye nemilingo, kodwa ungakwazi ukuhlasela ukucabangela kwakhe siqu ezibukweni, yilokho esizama ukukwenza (ngesizathu esithile kwakungenakwenzeka ukuphula izibuko namafreyimu). UFry wazama ukupompa ukukhathala kwebhubesi ngokuzindla, ngoba isibhamu sokuhlakazeka sabonakala esibukweni, futhi umonakalo owawusuka kuso wawuyihlaya. Khonamanjalo ibhubesi lazulazula lagcina lingasalawuleki, labizela abantu abahlukene abashonile enkundleni yempi abaqhamuke ezibukweni. Umlwi wethu wababulala, okwathi ngemva kwalokho ibhubesi lakhululwa. Khona-ke i-bard yakhathala ngalesi sibhicongo esithathe isikhathi eside futhi yasakaza isipelingi sesikhashana esivela emqulwini webhubesi. Futhi ibhubesi laqina, sengathi unomphela.
Kwabe sekuvela ukuthi asikwazanga ukubuya. Kwakungekho futhi lutho ukususa ukupela. Bazama ukunqamula usilingi wehholo, kwashuba lapho. Ezama ukufaka isandla lapho, ubhadi wazishisa. Kwakubonakala sengathi uFry kuphela owayengena lapho engenabuhlungu. Umlingiswa wami wagibela kulobu bumnyama futhi wandizela phezulu waze wezwa isithiyo. Ukuhlakazeka okwalahliwe kwenza umgodi iqhawe lami landiza laphuma etendeni.
Ngaleso sikhathi, kwasondela omunye wabadlali, odlala iqhawe. Leli qhawe lavela ngaphandle kwetende futhi kubonakala sengathi sishintshana amagama ambalwa. Ngemva kwalokho, kwafika umqondo kimi wokuthi okunye kungakhishwa uma ngichitha igazi elimnyama le-unicorn yami kubo.
Inkosi yangibizela kwelinye igumbi ukuze ingitshele ukuthi ubumnyama obungaphakathi kwe-unicorn babujabulile umcabango onjalo nokuthi abanye kwakudingeka baphoqwe ukuba bavumelane nawo. Fry wangena ngesango elivamile wancika engilazini, ngemva kwalokho kwabonakala bonke abanye. Kwakungenakwenzeka ukuphula le ngilazi, ngakho-ke i-unicorn ye-infernal kwakudingeka ihambe futhi ibuyele ngembobo etendeni. Lapho waphakamisa ukuthi kukhethwe igazi elimnyama, kodwa amalungu eqembu lakhe enqaba, efuna ezinye izindlela. Ekugcineni, ngiphakamise ukugijima ngiye edolobheni ukuze ngithole umqulu wokuqeda umlingo futhi saxazulula le nketho. UFry waphinde wandiza ngembobo yetende, wabuka iqhawe elishaya izithupha landizela emngceleni we-black sphere. Kwavela ukuthi manje i-sphere ayivumeli i-unicorn ibuyele emuva.
Inkosi yangibiza futhi futhi yathi ubumnyama butshela i-unicorn indlela yokususa isipelingi se-stasis: udinga ukuthelela okungenani ababili ngobumnyama, khona-ke ndawonye bazokwazi ukuxosha lo mlingo. Ngathi sekuyahlongozwa kodwa laba abanye kwacaca ukuthi bazama ukuxabanisa iqembu? Sekuyisikhathi eside kubonakala kuwo wonke umuntu ukuthi uFry uyihhashi elimnyama. Futhi zonke lezi zingxoxo zethu eziyimfihlo ziya ngokuya zimisa iqembu ngokumelene neqhawe.
Ngokuvamile, sabuya futhi inkosi yanquma ukuxazulula yonke into futhi. U-Blackness wakhasa e-Fry, wangena ezibukweni futhi, ebonakala ngesimo se-unicorn ye-infernal, waqala ukuphikelela ukuncenga abanye ukuba bakwamukele. Iqhawe lami laquleka kancane ngalesi sikhathi, lithatha ukubonakala kwehhashi elivamile elinophondo.
Iphathi yala isithembiso. Khona-ke iqhawe lasondela ngaphandle, ubuso balo bucindezele engilazini. Ubumnyama baphendukela kuye futhi wanquma ukukwamukela, ngemva kwalokho wancenga elinye ilungu leqembu ukuthi lithathe lesi sinyathelo (noma kunalokho, wamncenga). Bobabili bathola izinto ezimnyama zokuqala, bese ubumnyama bubuyela emzimbeni kaFry. Kwabe sekukhishwa isiloya kwabulawa ibhubesi elimnyama.
Isahluko seshumi. Oh, wena spider... ndodakazi
Ngemuva kwalokho saqonda esakhiweni sesithathu, kubonakala sengathi bekuwuhlobo oluthile lwe-arch noma ingosi. Lapho selingenile, iphathi yazithola isisendaweni yedolobha egcwele abantu. Basibingelele njengabawinile. Sesiqhubekele phambili, sathola umphathi wethu (ephila) kanye nendodakazi yakhe. Kwaba sobala ukuthi yonke into ezungezile yayiyinganekwane (esivele siyiqagele ngokuyisisekelo, kodwa ngaphansi kwedome elimnyama lokhu kwenzeka) futhi umlwi wethu wazama ukubulala umphathi wenhlangano. Isabela, indodakazi yakhe yaphenduka isicabucabu esikhulu, futhi isixuku sasihlasela.
Impi yaqala, ngesikhathi amalungu eqembu ebulala isixuku, isicabucabu sakhuphuka phezu kolwembu olungabonakali, ngaleyo ndlela sashiya indawo yokuhlaselwa okuseduze. I-bard yenza ukwanda kwabanye ababambisene nabo, kodwa isicabucabu sisazithola singafinyeleleki. Lesi silo sahlaselwa kabili ngokujika ngakunye futhi saqala ukusijikijela ngama-web.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi iwebhu ikufake ephusheni elibi uma wehlulekile umqulu wakho we-Charisma. Ngemva kokuvuka, iqhawe lalahlekelwa ukukhathala okungama-2! Kodwa hlobo luni lomsebenzi wezimfundamakhwela lona? Akekho owenqabela umthetho wasekhaya, kodwa ungagembuli uhlelo kakhulu. I-True20 ayinawo amandla asusa ukukhathala oku-2 ngesikhathi esisodwa. Futhi ukulala ku-True20 kuhlanganiswe ne-Will save. Lapha ngizokwengeza ukuthi ngenxa ye-bard yethu, sonke sasingaphansi komphumela wokugonywa kokwesaba, kodwa inkosi yalichitha leli phuzu futhi - bathi amaphupho amabi ebuthongweni bakho asakwethusa.
Njengoba ngikuqonda, umpetha usinike okuthile ayekusungulele i-D&D ngaphambilini, kodwa wakushintsha ngokushesha konke, waziphula izinsimbi zomdlalo. Ngakho-ke uhlobo oluthile lwe-imbala ye-extra-systemic luwele emakhanda ethu, okungelona iqiniso kakhulu ukunqoba ukusebenzisa izindlela zesistimu. Inkosi, vele, ngokujwayelekile isehlangothini lwethu, kodwa kufanele uvume ukuthi kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ukuxazulula izinkinga uwedwa kunokuphila ukubonga kuphela ekungeneleleni okuhlakaniphile.
Akudingeki ukuthi, izinhlamvu zokuhlasela zikaFry zaphenduka zaba yize njengaso sonke isikhathi (kahle, uyaqonda, ama-non-munchkins kulo mdlalo awazi ngisho nengozi yokushiya indlu ukuze athenge isinkwa) futhi ngacabanga ngezinye izinketho. Kwabonakala kimi ukuthi kungaba kuhle ukuphephula isicabucabu phansi ngokuvunguza komoya futhi sisebenzise ukubumba umoya. Kwavela umfudlana womoya, kodwa isicabucabu sabambelela kulwembu lwakhe, sishwibeka emaceleni.
Ngemva kokuwela kuwebhu kanye, uFry uthole ukukhathala okungu-2 futhi sekukonke kwanqwabelana oku-3. Ngemva kwalokho, leli qhawe lahamba kancane liyofuna abantu abangafa ukuze liphuze ukukhathala kothile. Ngathola oyedwa kuphela (nakuba kwakukhona izixuku zabo, futhi iqembu alizange libulale wonke umuntu. Mfundisi, yini isihogo lesi?) futhi ngiphuze ukukhathala kuye izikhathi ezimbili.
Ngaleso sikhathi, impi yayingakaqhubekeli nhlobo, futhi isicabucabu saphuma emoyeni. Futhi waphonsa iwebhu futhi. UFry ukhathele yilokhu. Wazizungeza ngesivikelo mana wall (umgoqo onjalo) ukuze ungandizeli kude nomoya. Ngemuva kwalokhu, umoya wanda waba mkhulu futhi kwaqala isiphepho, sathumela isicabucabu ngendiza ejabulisayo, sashaya izindonga. Amanye amalungu eqembu akhuliswe kakhulu futhi umphumela ubonakala ungawaphakamiseli emoyeni. Khona-ke u-conic wami wehluleka ubuthongo bakhe futhi i-tornado yaphela. Isicabucabu sawela phansi, lapho sagcina sihlakazwe khona. Ekupheleni kwempi, ilungu ngalinye leqembu labhekana nokukhathala oku-3.
Isahluko sokugcina. Uma uhamba, vala izibani, zonke zibe mhlophe
Sabuyela emuva sabona ukuthi manje sesingaya emantombazaneni azozala umesiya omnyama. Ngokushesha kwavela ingosi emnyama ngemva kwabo, okwaphuma kuyo amaketanga. Babamba abafazi abatetayo babadonsela phakathi. Umlwi wethu wahola, evula izisu zamantombazane (eh, futhi leli yilungu "elilula" leqembu, okuwukuphela kwalo owathumela ubumnyama esihogweni). Abaningana bahudulelwa ngaphakathi futhi salandela sangena engosini.
Embuzweni wezisusa zabalingiswa, ukulingisa, ukulingisa, njll. Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, angiqondi nakancane ukuthi kungani bekudingekile ukuba ngiqhubekele phambili kumphathi omkhulu uma lonke iqembu besele limnyama. Kwani? Lo mesiya omnyama wabaphazamisa ezimweni ezinjalo. Ubufuna ukusindisa intombazane? Kukhona into engabonakali.
Ngendlela, kulelo qembu lethu bekunabadlali abangathandi ukuxoxa ngomdlalo uma usuphelile, kodwa abafuna into eyodwa kuphela - okuqukethwe. Noma yini, inqobo nje uma kusha. Ku-D&D efanayo, lokhu kwaqinisekiswa ngokufunda izincwadi eziningi ezintsha kanye nokwakha okuphumelelayo okungapheli. Kwesinye isikhathi bekusithatha iseshini yegeyimu ehlukile ukuze sidale abalingisi, futhi lokhu bekujabulisa kakhulu kunezigigaba ezalandela ngokwazo.
Kodwa bekungeke kube buhlungu ukuxoxa ngomdlalo futhi uwuthathe ngokungathi sína, ngoba ukuntula ukucabanga kuzoholela ekugxumeni kumasistimu ngokudumazeka okulandelayo kuzo zonke. Ngoba "isizathu akusona neze thina."
Ngaphakathi kwakukhona ikristalu elikhulu elimnyama, elimunca abesifazane abasele bebeletha futhi laguqulwa libe into efana ne-golem. Lapha, wonke umuntu owayengenwe ubumnyama waqala ukwenza amajikijolo okusindisa ukuze abone ukuthi babelwa ohlangothini lwe-golem noma cha. Ngokwemvelo, ngangifuna ukwenza izingcingo ezingathathi hlangothi lapho i-Fry ithathwa ubumnyama ekujikeni: isibonelo, vikela i-golem ngokuyizungezile ngodonga lwe-mana. Yiqiniso, inkosi yaphikelela ekufakeni izicelo ezinonya ngokukhethekile ngokumelene namalungu eqembu, ngakho kwakungenakwenzeka ukukopela. Hhayi-ke, kuhle, ikakhulukazi njengoba ungakhathala ngokuphelele ngodonga lwemana. Okuwukuphela kwenketho esebenzayo kwakuwukukhipha ukukhathala (okukodwa noma ubukhulu). Ngethuba lakhe, uFry wandizela eduze kwabanye, kodwa wayengakasondeli ngokwanele.
Khona-ke u-bard wethu wenza umphumela wokudansa kimi neqhawe, futhi kwadingeka sincike kuye ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngaleso sikhathi, igolo laligqashulwa kancane kancane. Ehlukunyezwa yimiphumela yomibili, uFry wanquma ukundiza esuka kwabanye ngesikhathi esakwazi, ukuze angaphonsi ukukhathala kubalingani bakhe. Ngemva kokundiza, waphinde waba umngane we-golem, kodwa iqembu lonke ekugcineni labhekana nesitha.
Kwaphela kanjalo-ke. Iphathi yethu yazithola iphakathi komgodi omkhulu oyindilinga - indawo lapho i-black sphere yayikade ikhona. Sabingelelwa abantu nezinye izidalwa ezibuka endaweni ethile phezulu. Kwalandela ukulanda mayelana nendlela esabingelelwa ngayo futhi saklonyeliswa ngayo. Isiphetho.
Kuleli qophelo, umpetha waqoqa amashidi omlingiswa wethu futhi kungazelelwe wamemezela ukuthi asisadlali ngokuvumelana ne-True20. Ungalokothi. Futhi wabadabula ekhombisa. Yeka ukusonteka. Nokho, akekho owayemelene nakho, nakuba amashidi ngokwawo ayengase ashiywe.
Nawe, mfene omnyama, ngizokucela ukuthi uhlale
Hhayi-ke, nginqume ukuthi umlingiswa onjalo akufanele anyamalale futhi aguqule i-Fry (engasekho i-Skaven, kodwa nje Fry) ohlelweni lwami. I-Terra esontekile. Ukuze ngingaqinisi i-backstory yeqhawe, ngiyilungise ngandlela-thile:
“Kudala, uFry wayeyisidalwa sasendle esimhlophe qhwa. Izinsuku nobusuku wayezulazula engenandaba nokuthula kweGolide Forest, kwaze kwaba ngolunye usuku ukuthula kwehlathi elingcwele kwaphazamiseka.
Kwakukhona abantu ababili - umzingeli kanye inyamazane yakhe. Umcibisheli oshisayo we-elven namagundane abaleka kuye.
Lapho umcibisholo we-elven ugijima ubheke kumbaleki, washayeka odongeni lobumnyama, wangalitholanga lapho owawuhlohle khona. Igundane lenza isenzo futhi iziqu zesihlahla zasika imisele emnyama, ligijimela kumcibisheli, kodwa lagxumela eceleni ngesivinini sombani.
Fry wabuka ngokwethuka, ecasha ngemva kwamahlamvu asagolide. Izilwi zajika yonke into kwaze kwaba yilapho idlozi elalilimele liqeda ukulinqamula igundane ngenkemba eloyiwe. Umcibisheli wathatha i-apula elimangalisayo elintshontshiwe endodeni efile. Lapho ephuma, wafunda umqulu wasendulo, njengoba ayetshelwa yinkosi yeshumi nanye. Akekho okufanele athole isidumbu esicwile egazini elimnyama eliqalekisiwe. Umhlaba wazamazama, wanyakaza.
Lapho i-elf isuka futhi inhlabathi iyeka ukuzamazama, uFry waphinde wabheka ngemuva kwezihlahla. Ilukuluku lamholela emzimbeni wegundane elihluliwe. Igazi elimnyama legundane langena ku-unicorn, lavusa amandla alele engqondo yakhe futhi lamnika izici zemilingo.
Eqaphela okwakwenzeka, uFry, owayesephenduke waba mnyama, wathola ukuthi ingxenye yehlathi lakhe alithandayo yayiphakanyiselwe emoyeni yisilingo se-elven. Kubukeka sengathi sekuyisikhathi sokushiya izindawo ozijwayele."
Empeleni, ohlelweni lwami, i-backstory ebhaliwe uyazikhethela—izinto ezibalulekile zibalulekile emdlalweni izici zokuphila komuntu uhlamvu. Ku-Fry, ngifake isethi yezici ezilandelayo ku-biography: "i-unicorn emnyama", "amehlo akhanya ngokukhanya okusawolintshi", "psychic", "igazi elimnyama eliqalekisiwe", "ayiwathandi ama-elves namagundane".
Lezi zonke ezinye "imbewu" engahluma phakathi nomdlalo, ithuthuke ibe yimithetho ekhethekile. Isibonelo, ngiguqule isici “segazi elimnyama eliqalekisiweyo” ngaba yimithetho ekhethekile yokuqala emibili - “umlingo wegazi elimnyama” kanye “nesiphepho esingapheli”. Kungenzeka ukuthi izakhiwo zegazi elimnyama zifihla amanye amathuba azovezwa iqhawe kamuva, ngesikhathi sokuhamba kwakhe.
Lapho ngenza kabusha leli qhawe, bengifuna ukulondoloza indlela yokudlala abenayo ohlelweni lwe-True20. Ngakho mechanics global ukukhathala kanye nesipelingi khipha ubungqabavu ohlelweni lwami baphenduke omakhenikha bomuntu siqu "bomlingo wegazi elimnyama" - I-Fry ingaphuza ingxenye yamandla okuphila ezidalwa ezahlukene, ibeka imiphumela ebuthaka enqwabelanayo kuzo. izibazi zethunzi, futhi yena ngokwakhe uyamukela izindleko zethunzi, engasetshenziswa kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamaqhinga awusizo ngegazi elimnyama.
