before you join forces with a dwarf, did you read the terms and conditions?

a small game

a great force of evil has awoken, and your small and homely village has volunteered you to go and put the world to rights again. after days and days of walking, you find yourself standing in front of the gates of wrath. beyond the gates lies a rickety bridge; across the bridge a dangerous cave; inside the cave the great force of evil; and after the evil is destroyed? unimaginable wealth.

as you sip lukewarm wine from your trusty hip flask and prepare for an adventure your homely people were never prepared for, you notice another individual sitting not too far away from you, eating a lukewarm sandwich and watching you curiously. they point at you, then point at the gate. you nod. though you speak different languages, you understand each other. they too are here to slay the great force of evil.

an idea starts to form. you point at yourself, then point at them, then mime the two of you walking in together. your acquaintance's face lights up, but then they hold up a finger and whip out some parchment and a feather pen. they rub their thumb against their index finger. the universal gesture for money. then they hold out the parchment to you.

sweet adventurer, unassuming you is about to save the world, but you won't manage it without the help of your new accomplice. so before any world saving gets done, you'd better get your paperwork sorted. how will you split the wealth? what will happen if one of you dies? who gets to do the actual deed of slaying the great force of evil? the two of you had better start talking.

setup

this is a game for two players. to draft your contract, you will each need some paper and a pen. my recommendation is the most heavy duty parchment you can find from your local scribery; when it comes to legal legitimacy, the thicker the better. you can get away with two dice between you.
