Oh my, I did not expect such a thorough reply! It’s been a long time since that. Thanks for the clarifications, too, it might be a good idea to include those terms for the lower body in the story, if you’d like. Wearing armour during civilian duties is a rather uncomfortable idea, it’d just be such a hassle. But, as I mentioned in my post, if the story is meant to be imagined with an in-game context (RuneScape gameplay as the reality) then it doesn’t matter, I just wanted to figure out if I were to picture this like the real world, or as a game world.

If he has nowhere to store his things, then I suppose he has no choice, and happens to favour constant protection! Better safe than sorry, the goblins could attack at any time, too. Though it shouldn’t be viewed as scolding, I did not meant to sound offensive, I was just trying to figure out how I should imagine the story (either realistically or like gameplay, as mentioned above). It’s not idiocy, just a little issue that works either way; maybe the bandit is expecting trouble and wants to be always on-guard!

I don’t play much RS either, but I have come back for a while. I don’t really know much about what’s going on, it looks like that’s not uncommon nowadays. I’ve been around for over ten years, I have a 10 year veteran cape in-game, and I still have no idea what’s going on in-game! XD

You’re welcome, and thank-you for the reply, too! I will also try to be more specific/detailed next time. Alright, see you next time.

You made the effort to write up a review, the least I could do was respond to you in kind. :P

I took your advice and edited in the specific pieces of armour for clarification. And although this is obviously using the game's setting, I would like to portray that world as realistically as possible, so don't ever hesitate to point out anything that breaks your immersion in the tale. After all, fluidity is vital.

I wasn't being too serious when I said 'scolding,' by the by. I know emotions can get misconstrued over text-based interactions. In reality, I'm thankful that you read what you wrote, and even more appreciative of the fact that you took the time out in order to give a review. One cannot improve without constructive criticism after all, so feel free to break my story down into rubble if you are that way inclined.

I mean, I'm lazy, so I might not fix everything, but all criticism will be taken on board and be used to better myself in future writing endeavours.


I suppose I could include a section somewhere about game lore relevant to this story, in order to aid people who don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of ingame events like me. This was written at a time when I wasn't aware the Story Forums had split off from Runescape-based stories only, so I suppose I've made a lot of false assumptions in writing this.

Anyway, the next chapter should be up tonight, need to just skim through and decimate any errors I made when I first wrote it.
