Difference between revisions of "Influencing"

The [[Influence]] skillset is a way of earning gold and experience without the usual method of killing denizens. Because it does not involve killing, influencing also does not typically result in being branded an enemy of a loyal denizen's organization. Influencing also gives one esteem, which, when imbued in figurines (or a [[wonderbrazier]]), can be offered to Divine or sold to other adventurers.

The [[Newton Caverns]] are perfect for young adventurers who have just stepped through the [[Portal of Fate]] and are looking to get a feeling for influencing without too much risk to their egos. Scattered throughout the caves are a plentiful supply of both [[fink]]s and [[gnome]]s who will only do trace amounts of damage to your self-image.

[[Lolliprin|Lolliprin Valley]] is beautiful location that the gnomes and finks of Newton Caverns are both working to reach. If you or another assists them, you will gain access through one of two portals. Living here are a group of sentient mushrooms, who shouldn't prove too much more of a challenge than the finks and gnomes you left behind.

[[Smoke Mountain]] is located just east of Lolliprin Valley. Here you will find a group of ferocious finks that should prove easy prey for your sharp tongue.

Home to many [[furrikin]], nearly everyone in [[Estelbar|the village]] is quite friendly, and more than willing to help you out with whatever they can spare. The exceptions to this are the farmers, whose trade has made them a bit greedy.

Monks here are studying and rather wealthy to the right sort of persuasion. For charity battles it helps to look very poor and have low prestige. [[Tosha Monastery|The Monastery]] is a good place for those fresh out of Newton to beg for coin or gain influence in general.
