Serfdom & Sorcery Update #6 - To Protect and Pillage

(Edited)

They plunder homes and steal with ease
Leaving families to their knees
Their greed for riches knows no end
No thought or care for the pain they send

Like two sides of a coin so bright
Duality brings both balance and light
For how can we know what in life is good
Without the bad, as it should?

Stealing for Lives

CCmQTR0Uz1w6FRzqh1EX--16--vc2bq.jpg
Family Ever After - Night Cafe - Scholaris

Hunger told her the time to pillage had come.

The goal was simple. Steal something to save something else. In fact, it was a bargain. The midwives informed Furan of her brother Levipes' condition. His skin was yellow. This particular issue wasn't a problem for adults. For newly born babies like Levipes', it would be problematic.

The midwives exhausted every treatment to treat Levipes except one. The only possible remedy was exposing her baby brother to purified light emitted by a rare crystal. The crystal would release the life-saving light only when held up to the sun.

If left untreated, the midwives assured Furan that the toxins in her brother's body would contaminate and harm his mind. Her family's matriarch, Furtim Mixtio, was hopelessly troubled by her brother's weakening condition and was useless in this next task assigned to Furan by fate. Furan understood. Furtim's pregnancy was so traumatic that it was doubtful her mind would survive her son's death.

So, the job was simple: steal the crystal and save two lives. The only thing Furan needed to do was retrieve it from the Den of Thieves. If there was one thing about thieves that annoyed her, is that nothing came for free. The pillager's life demanded that you earned everything.

Pillager's Dagger

This particular data set has been challenging to collect. Pillagers live in a world of stealth. I am only a clumsy combat veteran. However, I'll keep searching, and when I find it, I'll update this article.

Additional Updates

Farms

Farm sales have concluded. People bought all 2,500 farms. Those select few that purchased farms will enjoy daily rewards of 500 DBLN per farm until the Gods of the Serfdom & Sorcery world incur a price for such kindness.

Alchemy Labs

@JBOSS and the @psyberX team have added the availability of an alchemy lab upgrade for anyone owning a hovel. All those holding the lab will receive a daily 25% cut of all potion sales distributed evenly amongst the owners. Please refer to the HELP COMMANDS section to review the commands needed to purchase or collect on those sweet sweet potion sales.

Energy Levels

Crafts now have energy levels. Suppose you grind until your energy reaches zero. You will have to wait until your energy level recharges before resuming that activity. Recharging will take some time.

Earning Thy Keep

BF04bOZT9lueWNKxqwSo--16--r9ka7 (1).jpg
Earning Thy Keep - Night Cafe - Scholaris

The Silent Death stirred with the sounds of screaming across the night sky.
Someone approaches to earn their keep.
The scents and sounds in the night brought nostalgia to his mind.

He finally arose with the scent of burning in the midnight air: wood, metal, and flesh. Someone was out there desperate and in great need. Only through great need would someone go to such lengths to cause havoc. The screams comforted him and brought memories of his conquest of the Pillager Class. Long were the nights as he planned and plotted the deaths of his competition. Death stealthily approached his targets, leaving nothing but the body and a short blood trail behind. In time, his enemies dubbed him the Silent Death. Death came for everyone, but the King of the pillagers brought a silent end to those who stood against him.

The Pillager King stood to gather his arms and weapons. Whoever approached to assume control would pay dearly for any inch given. Yet, no movement occurred. His limbs, strong beyond measure, could not lift his body. His reflexes, lightning-quick, did not act to move outside of the war dog's jaws now closing around his neck. The heat and breath of the beast nearly gagged him with the aroma of rotting flesh. In the distance, he saw...Furan stared intently at him.

"I needed more from you, " Furan whispered to her Lord. "You wouldn't have given it freely for what I've done for you. So I decided to earn my keep. The crystal I've taken is to heal someone dear to me. You may seek me out if you recover from the poison running through your veins. I won't run. Should you attempt retribution against those I care for, you'll wish you never woke up from the deep slumber I've granted you."

And with that, Furan was gone.

Anger and pride seethed through the King's body. It was the perfect execution of a heist. She poisoned him silently, started fires to distract his men, and used a war dog to keep distance between herself and her mark. The Silent Death trained her well. It's been quite a while since someone caught him in a week moment. It will be fun bringing her to heel.

This surely looks interesting...
I'm also a member of the Psberx Discord server and I've been seeing a lot of posts like this.
Definitely one day, I'll join you guys.
I'm still trying to understand the game well

Thank you for your time. It’s definitely an interesting game. The best part from me apart from the coin and game is the customer service.

Once the game got underway, @jboss and his team saw to it to start a customer ticket process and add admin personnel to the server.

Problems with the game? You’re encouraged to submit a ticket and they legit work on the problem.

The game continues to expand as we speak. They work to incorporate the players’ vision as well as their own.

Look forward to seeing you at Psyber X or in S&S in the future!

There's nothing more comforting than knowing that a customer service of whatever you're using will always be there for a swift response
