Halfling Activities Guide!

[Major Tom 139]

 Following in the style of Valon's extremely helpful guide and Cmack's absolutely brilliant guide, I'm going to go ahead and try to make one o' dem Halfling guides.

 

 

"So wot's 'his guide 'bout?" you may ask in a peculiar medieval accent. So I would so kindly respond with the sentence "Well wot ye bloody 'hink i's 'bout? Read 'he blinkin' title ye troll faced pig!" and if you were to read the title it would state that this is a guide about Halfling activities! "Righ' 'en, so who's 'his guide made fer?" you might respond, "Fer 'ose 'ha' be thinkin' 'bout makin' an 'Alflin', bu' don' know wot types o' fun we ge' up 'o." I would then reply in a heavenly voice. "Okay, okay." you would possibly respond "Wha' types o' stuff do ye li'le uns ge' up 'o?" you would quickly say, "Well lo's o' stuff-- Eh I'm just gonna drop the whole dialogue thing. 

 

We Halfling do a lot of things, all of them fun I can assure you, whether it be having a nice cold brew with your friend or playing a friendly game of Shogs, fun Roleplay is almost always guaranteed. So, let me start this guide by going (sort of) in-depth into what could very well be my favorite part of being a Halfling.

 

Yes of course! Ale drinking is perhaps the most important part of a balanced Halfling diet, and not only does it work to sustain the life of this adorable little creatures, but it also brings some of the funnest Roleplay! Now in Lenfarthing there are plenty of ales to drink, whether it be the usual Apple Spice at the Lumpy Pumpkin Inn or some of Dudo Boundwise's home brew, all of them can get you nice and drunk (and what's a Halfling if not a drunkard?).  So once you have found a good friend -or perhaps someone you just met- and have chosen a proper decent Halfling ale to drink, what do you do? Halflings are known for their good company, story telling, and ale; so do one of those things! Tell a story whilst you get drunk, the tale getting progressively more far-fetched the more ale you drink. Sing a song whilst you do a little jig! Gossip about local residents and maybe even start a little rumor! What's the best and at the same time worst part about ale? Getting drunk. And what is it that people do when they're drunk? Drink more ale! Sing a terrible drinking song! Stumble out into the night with you drinking buddy, then making your way to the Hollyfrost Brewers and drink all the ale they have in storage! Ale drinking, and getting drunk for that matter, has produced some of the funnest RP I've ever had and is a very common Halfling activity.

 

Alright well, you've gotten drunk, had your little ale induced adventures, and have drank all the ale you could find. You don't really want to die of alcohol poisoning, so how about we move on to a different activity.

 

Yup! Halflings play games inside of a game, I'm not gonna do the Inception joke. Now the games they play are not only enjoyable but also creative. Sometimes these games incorporate Minecraft Mechanics, such as Shogs, and sometimes they are played purely through emotes. The games Halflings play are light hearted and sometimes even games that we play in real life. Some of the more popular games include:

Shogs, a game in which you stand on a floating log and try to knock your opponent off their log.

Hide n' Seek, no explanation needed.

Darts, get drunk and throw darts at a board.

Bumper Boats, hop into a boat and try to break other people's boats by crashing into them.

 

All these games are incredibly fun, and if you can find someone to play them with it's almost certain that you will have a good time.

 

Alright, alright that's pretty cool. But as much as you might like games your character will get tired after his thirty third round of Bumper Boats. That's fine after a good day of ale drinking and game playing how about you ...

 

Another thing Halflings are famous for is their huge appetite! So how about after a long day of merriment you sit down and have a nice warm meal. I suggest reading this brilliant guide or this equally as brilliant one on cooking RP. Remember that Halflings are very serious when it comes to their food, they only use the freshest ingredients and don't let food go to waste. Halfling foods often consist of mushrooms, chewy meats, and cooked vegetables, actually an entire guide could probably written about Halfling foods! So after you have cooked a meal for yourself and perhaps a guest, get to eating! First scarf down the delicious twice baked taters, then go for the honey soaked pork sausages, perhaps you then gulp down a few spiced shrooms, and then after all that you serve the double fudge strawberry cake. Of course you eat all this with your hands, for a proper Halfling doesn't have time for silverware. During this delicious meal you might talk with your guest about the current goings ons in the world. "I 'eard from un o' 'he Elders 'ha' 'he Woods be'ind 'he Kip burrows be 'aunted!" *munch munch* "Nay way! I go 'here 'o pick shrooms all 'he time!" *nom nom*

 

Alright so you've finished your meal, and now you feel like doing something else. You want to feel productive with what you do, so how bout you go and do your job!

 

You've finished your meal and now it's time to get back to work. Halfling jobs are varied, you could be a typical farmer, a redstone engineer, or a poet! A proper Halfling can have just about any job that you can think of, besides something like a knight or a politician. We have woodworkers, gatekeepers, gardeners  writers, and even a doctor! Just remember when picking a job for your Halfling, a proper Halfling's motto is "Why do anything if it isn't fun?". Also remember that Halflings don't really value Minas, so everything is free and you'll most likely end up getting paid in ale and cake.

 

Cool, cool, I'm having fun so far. But your Halfling might be a bit more adventurous. 

 

Woah there buddy! Not just yet, before you go on a grand adventure helping some Dwarves reclaim their home or tossing an expensive piece of jewelry into a fire, read this. Halflings are mostly peaceful creatures that usually keep to themselves and usually dislike change and the outside world. However this doesn't mean that your Halfling can't go on an adventure! Just keep the journey small, don't go traveling all the way to the North and then joining an army, a poor little Halfling would be far too frightened to do that. Instead, plan a little journey with some of your Halfling pals to look for rare shrooms in the Witch Woods, maybe contact an event team member to make the quest a bit more exciting. Don't go all the way to the Orcish Badlands and investigate, climb the Elder peaks and play bumper boats up in the big lake. But always remember to come back to Lenfarthing and keep the adventures few and far between. Basically just make sure that Halfling adventures are kept within reason.

 

Welp, besides that I ain't got much else to say. Also you might want to check out the other amazingly brilliant Halfling guides.

Once upon a time, when I was a mere newbie. I doubted if I should play human or Halfling..

Now that I have read this guide.. My doubt rises again.

 

But why should I care, I'm noble #betterthanyou #eatmypower #unoble? #whyunogoverement?

 

Great guide, feels more like a story rather then homework. +1
