So this goes under the headline, Don't **** where you eat. Especially in Roanoke.
A group of friends of mine were setting up a new mining camp, and were busy little beavers, digging and mining when their place got hit. Someone stole a boat, took 2 chests full of nice inspirationals out of a lean to and cut up all the fish they'd been saving for some reason. That person then sailed away, then blew the boats and chests so they couldn't be tracked and left nothing but claim tracking. They thought they'd be safe back in the darkness over the mountains but as we'll see the mystery deepened.
My friends called on me to hunt down the perp, and their trail led to where the darkness used to be, but since it's been moved it was relatively easy to get to and will be relatively easy to hit. My guess is a single member of the Town called 'The Order of the Crimson Rose' hit a claim near them without permission and thought there's no way this newb digger has Ascent to the Summit or can go this far in the time it would take. But they didn't expect me. Bwuhahahhhahahahahhaha (evil laugh).
These fat rosie faced monks are ripe for the picking. It's a sweet 3 biome base near the darkness with a nice big lime pit next door, Their town is 4x4 cells in area and is larger than most that I've seen. They have a lot of fences, not a lot of Braziers that I saw, I counted well over 50 piles of coal so there's probably a mine somewhere in the middle, there were many roses and they're prone to leaving all their gates open for people to just walk right in and look around. I got 2 fences deep before I even hit the town. I could have summoned and killed the jackass who robbed my friend but then I, the lone hunter that I am would leave evidence for them. And who wants to be hunted for the next week. So here's how this is going to go down.
Either:
1. 'The Order of the Crimson Rose' pays me 10,000s (5,000 for me, 5,000 for my friends) and never hears from me again as long as they leave my friends on the hillside alone. Their location and screenshots of the mini-map stay hidden forever.
2. I now have a homestead claim in my pocket. I will plant that claim, expand it and let any group bounce there on my homestead secret for the right price. (Russian, MM tribe, or any other big group of raiders that want to make a name for themselves, I'm looking at you Vikings) These guys aren't treaty members, or at least haven't followed any treaty protection protocol that I know of. They have literally wiped out whole forests of Maple trees, and scarred the Earth for miles around. The bidding starts at 2000s to compensate my newb friends. Please Pm me with any offers, Bidding stops next Wednesday , when I will take the highest bidder. You can stop the bidding at anytime by meeting the 10,000s price.
3. If there are no bidders I will simply post their exact location coordinates, screen shots of the mini map, and possibly let anybody who wants to bounce out there to mess with their town or so that they can plant a spy near their town and take whatever they want at a later date.
I await your offers.
