Starting as a Runaway Slave, a bizarre situation can take place.
Ocassionally, a Njerpez will hit another one with an arrow (I think it's only an arrow that starts this, but it may be others). Soon after, it seems they view one of the two as an enemy and start fighting, and then as a result of attacking that one, they all view eachother as an enemy. They stop trying to attack me, and instead end up fighting amongs eachother.
This particular instance has been one of the most extreme results -- 9 warriors are dead; that's all of them that were in the camp. The center most body has 5 stacked on top of it.
From them, I have gotten almost 150 pounds of equipment.
While it makes my life significantly easier, particularly escaping, it feels pretty bizarre and likely unintended.
While I do think there's room to make the escape part of the start more interesting (it feels silly to try to escape in broad daylight when you're surrounded by many of them, and you don't know anything about the encampment), a self-instigated massacre is not the best.
Things I was able to get by the first night:
3 Maces, 4 knives, 3 spears, 2 njerpez scimitar, 2 hunting knives, a shortbow, 12 broadheads, 13 arrows, 1 broad knife, 1 hunting bow, 1 scimitar, 1 kaumolais knife, 1 crossbow,1 splitting axe.
I won't go over the clothes and armor because there's simply too many. A rough count is ~55 clothing items, plus an additional mug, skin, torch, fishook.
