ask if the knife will break if you try to deflect a larger sword with it, if so then go for dagger. if not then get the knife

>>511892
Couldn't we just buy a flyswatter for the spider and go for a more unarmed combat style, maybe get some gauntlets or strong gloves to protect our fists and power up our attacks?

I don't think stabbing at a tiny spider with a knife is going to work all that well...

...what's the difference between the knife and dagger?

Anyways, get the cheaper one. It's just a tool, for cutting things when punching won't suffice. Even the most determined pugilist needs practical tools.

>>511899
knives are probably smaller. and that is why i asked if i will break on a deflect. you ever try blocking a sword with your hand? not pretty.

The hero is SPEED based, he should be trying to dodge instead of blocking incoming attacks.
That said... I'm of the opinion we should just have a knife. Our MAIN weapons are our fists, anyhow.

Buy the knife and then ask the blacksmith if he has any light armor

>>511916

Hmm, good idea, but we don't need a full set of armor to deal with the nefarious arachnid. We could just get some gloves. That would also help us with punching!

Ask what the difference between the two is.

ask if he has a stick or just grab a bunch of rocks from the streets, save your money

buy neither. do they have gloves or gauntlets?

This is an important decision, and you can’t make up your mind!

You ask the blacksmith a few questions and learn that the SMALL KNIFE is fairly durable and should be able to withstand a decent amount, though the SMALL DAGGER is a little stronger and slightly bigger.

You also ask about gloves, and he shows you the following item:

LEATHER GLOVES – 300G

Small knife and see what the options are for armor

I say we grab the gloves as our weapon, we already have a FISTS proficiency.

That spider won't stand a chance!

>>512094
Can't punch that shit. Too creepy.

Get knife and gloves. Cut spider.

>>512095
have you ever tried to stab a spider with a knife? it is not the easiest of tasks....

>>512090
Gloves.

Buy the knife and gloves, then go back to the shack and STOMP on the spider with your manly shoes!

Why settle for anything else than fists, let's just get the gloves and be done here.

get the gloves.

Get the dagger

You purchase the LEATHER GLOVES and SMALL KNIFE, leaving you with 150G!

They’re not exactly spider extermination tools, but they fill you with so much confidence, you feel you could punch a hundred spiders in the face with your manly FISTS!

Now that your shopping is done, you could explore the town some more or go home for the day and unleash your unbridled fury upon the eight-legged home invader in the shack.

What now?

It is time to realize your destiny and face your greatest of foes.

PUNCH THAT SPIDER IN THE FACE!

 

Congratulations, you now look like a true level 1 JRPG protagonist.

Stab that spider.

Every hero has a fear, attack that fear, ATTACK!

We shall hit more powerfully with our fists!
Punch of the Minifridge GOOOOOOOO!

Run back to your shack to annihilate the spider, only to find out that he was friendly all along and wants to join your party

pick up that spider and stroke its hair gently

spiders are actually pretty nice people once you get to know them

Filled with righteous fury, you charge back to your house to face the foul beast!

Your SPIDER RESISTANCE has increased! You are still afraid of spiders, but the fear will no longer cause you to immediately flee at the sight of one!

“S-SPIDER, PREPARE TO-"

Huh?

Um. Hello? Who are you, and why are you in my house?

Girl is friendly with spider, the friend of my enemy is an enemy, initiate combat, take out the spider first!

she seems naive, perhaps she never learned the ferocity of spiders! she is little afterall. get her away from the foul beast and ask her what she is doing here.

Get distracted and ask the little girl what she is doing in your home.

say hi.

Protect the unsuspecting maiden from the insidious danger that is the arachnid!

>>514937
Wait a second wasn't she that girl from >>510739

She is obviously the Master of Spiders in a human disguise - Run screaming from the shack and find a new place to live

Disregard those suggestions obviously intended to make you react in an insane way such as accusing her of being in legion with the spider (because, seriously, that'd be simply insane).

Instead ask her what she's doing.

You are extremely confused. The little girl also looks extremely confused.

To clear up this mutual confusion, you ask her what she’s doing in your house, keeping an eye on the hideous beast beside her as you do. She looks at you nervously then responds, "Finding buggies."

SHE IS TOUCHING IT. SHE IS TOUCHING THE SPIDER. THIS IS HORRIFYING.

>>519749
...Freak out?

OH GOD NO
THE HORROR
THE UNNATURAL TERRIFYING ELDRITCH HORROR
GOD WHY

>>519749
Make a disgusted face and warn her that it might bite her and she should drop it so you can eliminate the horrifying spider threat!

Remain calm and ask her to take the spider outside

oh. okay. cool. carry on then.

Do not freak out, do not freak out, STAY CALM MAN!

Panic

>Finding buggies
Oh. Um. Okay. Finders keepers. It's all yours.

(If the crazy girl takes the spider, you don't have to get any on your hands killing it!)

>>519783
But then we won't get the XPs and LOOOOT

>>519838

but he will get to be not an asshole. because spiders are great and killing them is terrible.

Wait a second, I just had a brilliant Idea. She collects bugs right? she must be able to tame them somehow! If we add her to the party she can prevent anything like this from happening again AND we may be able to get shared XP from every bug she tames! (If xp is gained from taming as well as killing)

Think about it! A bug tamer could come in handy. I mean what would we do if we encountered, god forbid, A GIANT spider!?
