As the ship Lady Samantha, named after the wife of the lord sponsoring the trip, touched down, you went down the gangplank to look at the settlement set up last year. It currently consists of a few log cabins around a central area where you assume meetings are made. Your next decision should probably be finding some lodgings, possibly even one of the tents brought on the ship before more permanent houses could be established, but then this New World seems to emit a sense of adventure that's begging you to explore the forest.

I also added a time stat on the bottom so you know when it's time to sleep and eat lunch, etc.

I changed it to rusty sword because a clean sword is too advanced for the start. You might also want to add a couple more points to accuracy, because currently you'd just be doing wild swings, and stamina because you'd only be able to go for a short while and if facing multiple foes you'd be very tired after the first guy.

*Sorry, I missed the eleven under luck. Two ones look a lot like one one.*

You borrow one of the tents off the ship and look for a suitable location. Luckily you find a perfectly smooth spot on soft grass close to nearby river which provides the settlement's fresh water. Being quite weak though, you had quite a bit of trouble driving the pegs in. After an hour, you finished setting up and had worked up quite an appetite. You should give back the wooden mallet and get some lunch now.

After asking the already settled settlers some questions about where you can purchase items, you find that they haven't set up anything really yet and the only merchandise right now is venison, from the plentiful deer in the forest and the logs they've cut down. They also boasted that a single meal of the deer here can easily last you hours and that you ought to look into buying some, though you don't feel very hungry.

You get back onto the ship and start searching around for a tent. After a little while of talking to the captain, you manage to convince him to let you borrow one of the high end tents. Feeling prepared to go down and start looking for a spot to set up, he offers to sell you the tent permanently for ten gold. You know this is a good price and that the tent could be very valuable if you plan to go exploring or camping, and even if you don't you might be able to sell it for more later. He also says his name is Captain Graphis and that the name of the settlement is Mardsville.

Walking back into town from the ship after returning the mallet, you ask the inhabitant of the first of the three log cabins about food, and he says that currently they don't have anything formal set up, but he'd be happy to share the large deer he caught a couple hours ago, skinned and cooked now, with you over lunch. He seems quite friendly and it would be nice to get to know everyone in the settlement if you're going be living here permanently. He also says his name is Dan and that the name they gave the settlment is Mardsville.

He also gave you a mallet for free because he realized no one else on the ship were using any of the tents so the ship didn't need anymore. Carrying the folded tent under your arm, you go into town. Looking around you see three log cabins, all with chimneys, inbetween the beach and a very thick forest. Deciding you should probably go to set up your tent, you are suddenly overcome with a strange sense to explore. Almost before you realize what you're doing, you are inside the forest. From your new vantage, you notice a silver glint a few meters into the forest.
