Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 5

Handing this over once more to the patron who generously made this happen:

After a few tense rounds of voting we have found a winner: the unfortunate farmer that is desperately looking for hoes! Just selecting this prompt isn’t quite everything yet, though - now we get to flesh it out together! For the next week, we in the discord channel have time to ask ourselves a lot of questions, including but not limited to the following:

Where is this orc’s farm located? Exactly what kind of assignment would this be? How long would it take? What are the rewards? What are the risks? What kind of standards might this “hoe” need to meet? Are there any special rewards? And plenty more besides - we’ll need your help! Please just keep in mind the scope of the assignment, and that Bedlam reserves the right to veto suggestions if they don’t fit the game!

I hope people will have fun with this, and once this phase is concluded we might have to organize another round of voting if there are too many controversial or mutually exclusive ideas. After that… we can discuss a potential commissioned companion piece based on the polished prompt, thanks to the aforementioned generous donator! Personally I am very much so looking forward to it.

Thank you to everyone who has been with us so far, and let’s see what comes of it!

As a reminder the pitch that won was:

They say it's not easy being green, and this is especially true when some ancestor or another decided that raiding is too dangerous and the solution to all that ails you is a good hoe. A metal one, specifically. The wooden ones are no good for farming. The problem for this village of farmers (who just so happen to be orcs) is that noone will sell them any hoes. They keep shouting at them and misunderstanding their requests. So they decided to put out the word amongst the camps that times are dire, and they are in need of some top quality hoes for the next season, and they'll pay top price for them. Nothing can go wrong with this request. Nothing.

Adding my own thanks to everyone who has taken part be it voting to contributing ideas. I'll also see if I can work in a cameo mention of the baker idea somewhere in the assignment.
