Rules for Surviving a Fantasy World

[Procrastination she/her]

591a. If you are told a legend about a mythical place that is sealed or locked away in some way, you have a 100% chance to find it by the end of the book.

Wouldn't that be 591ab?

592. Any hidden treasures that you hear about near the beginning will have subplots about finding them near the end. Find them now and save yourself the hard work in the future.

[NameIess]

593. If you ever feel you are on the verge of making some incredibly important discovery (magic or plot related) that could totally upend the evil villain’s plans if it got out and the main character is not standing right in front of you, give up your research and leave the country.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

594. In certain worlds, the quest you set out on at the beginning will certainly not be the quest you finish. The person you think is the enemy isn't, there's someone worse, and everything you thought about your entire world was wrong.

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

595: NEVER say “it’s probably nothing.”

[Edema Rue she/her]

596. Don't do dumb things for love. 

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

597. If you get wounded, even slightly, go get that healed as quickly as you can. Don't simply shrug off and say "It's nothing, I'll survive that", because you won't. Either it will fester, or you will suddenly collapse as you fight your archenemy. Seriously, why didn't you just accept that bandage / healing spell?

That being said, the healing spell will usually come with strings attached. Magicians are usually manipulative and dangerous.

598. Never under any circumstances are you to think "this mission/battle/fight/legal case/any other kind of thing you're doing, is going too well/is going to be easy/any other variation of that sentiment." Saying it out loud is even worse, and basically guarantees that something's going to go wrong. 

[Edema Rue she/her]

599. Find the most trustworthy person/thing on your team, the one that couldn't possibly be a spy. They're a traitor. 

600. Just because there's new information available doesn't give you the right to forget what you already know, and same goes with powers. The things you have are useful, don't forget about them.

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

601. If you find yourself in possession of any magical artifact, no matter how useless it seems, keep it. It might be useful only in one weird corner case, but you'll end in that weird corner case. Anyway, don't throw it away, or you'll spend half the next book trying to find it again.

[S. Stormy she/her]

602. Never say you're bored of your life or that you want an adventure. You will get an adventure, and someone you love will probably die.

This one might have been done before.

Refer to rules 511 and 512.

603. If you ever want to start a journey and need to get some fellow adventurers, just go to an inn.

[Edema Rue she/her]

603a. Once at the inn, find the people who are fighting, the one sitting by the fire watching them, and the one who’s hopelessly drunk and speaking nonsense. They’re probably your best bet. 

[Frustration]

603 b. Also pick up the man sitting in a dark corner with a hood over his head. He might look intimidating, but he's actually the best help you can get.

I'm guessing Aragorn.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

604. The old crazy people always know more than you think they do.

Always.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

605. Always

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

606. ALWAYS

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

607. When everything is looking up and you actually have a plan, don't let your guard down. That's when you start loosing.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

608.  Always!  "Hey, we left that behind, it's time for actual rules again." "but it can't be stressed enough." "It's been stressed, leave it."

609. Violence is not the answer. It is a question, and the answer yes. #murderhoboforlife
