Hi again everyone! It’s only been a day later and I’m back! I wanted to write so much more last time but I realize I want to make this fun and digestible for people! So I have the most fun topic of all to go over! Taxes! Thats right, not even in your cozy unforgiving JRPG grindfest you are not safe from the government collecting their money. So we’re gonna go pay it.
Thankfully I have been saving and preparing, selling spell books and random loot from Puppy Cave and doing random music quests pays dividends. Unfortunately the nearest Tax chest to pay said bill is in the nearby town of Mysilia. I say nearby but it is about a 2-3 day walk. Now I could walk through the wildness like a neanderthal but do you see my health at a measly 11? If I get ambushed I want the guards stationed on the road to defend me. Spell slots are not free!
We made it! Unfortunately I left the tax bill in the mailbox in my haste of writing this. So I had to run back to get it and the blessing from the goddess is gone so from now on I will incur a death penalty! So lets tempt fate, I’m going to do a monster extermination quest worth 300 Orens to try and recoup some of this loss and if it goes well Ill do the music quest afterwards.
Finally something I excel in. Combat when I’m properly stocked on spells is a breeze for a Lich Wizard like me, just keep the Fire and Holy magic at home. (All the more reason to be a law abiding citizen I say!) Have at thee foul wildlife and beasts!
Now onto the Music quest, the people are very much NOT a fan of my music but I invested in healing magic and evasion for a reason!
And with that I’ve decided to return home. Thats all about a typical day when I need to pay Taxes. See you in the next one!
