Gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.
Humans who use these maps to hunt down the treasure are always disappointed, as they lift the treasure-chest's lid, and find it's full of maps. This is because, as covered earlier, gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.
I'm making a realistic cave adventure, but realistic art is quite beyond me, so I've been doodling something like the Bayeux tapestry with stick figures.
See in Star Trek how there's always an auto-destruct sequence, and the captain can shut it down with a password? Do you think you could just fillibuster it to stop the ship exploding?
I.e. everyone just says 'I am Picard, my password is password123', over and over?
And if not, then couldn't anyone *stop* the override (even if Picard gives his password) by simply shouting nonsense over him in a nihilistic DoS attack?
@icedquinn I am very lost with this whole project. Growing up around farms didn't help the logistics.
But keeping the monsters down helps - I have only ~4. One burrows like a mole, and giant spiders and land-octopuses could just clambor over any wall.
The inner walls around the baileys are only there for basilisks. I figure small huts might be placed around the farmland, so people can run inside. No way anyone's out-running a giant arachnid. They must move at least as fast as a horse.
I have once again been musing on exactly how you'd structure a farm in a world of wandering monsters.
Estimates from Stack Exchange et c. suggested a bailey of about 100 people might survive with farmland of about 1.2 miles diameter, if the land is good.
With a little empty space from the forest around the edge (to keep a little distance from wandering monsters), we're at about 1.4 miles diameter.
...and may as well do the same for the brochs ('watchtowers').
