| You have found the remains of an unlucky adventurer. Such is the way of the hero, and also of the fool. |
Description
The Dead Adventurer is a random encounter in For The King, in which the player has an option to either "Loot", "Journal" or "Leave." Upon selecting "Journal", a journal entry from the dead adventurer will display on the screen with no effect, although 1 Lore will be awarded for looting some of these dead adventurers. After selecting "Journal", the player is still able to select any of the three options. There are no negative outcomes for looting the dead adventurer, but the items gained seemed to get better later into the game.
Journal Entries
| “ | The (Late) Knight of Parrots and his squire: Pancho Alvarado, were sent on a grand quest by the King of the Great Southern Land, Mygdon the Elbow-High to "retrieve" the Belt of Majesties from Bronner, the King of Fharul. The pair pillaged, wined, dined and ravaged their way through Fahrul and into King Bronner's "impregnable" vault beneath the Buried Temple before finding the quarry of Mygdon the Elbow-High: the Belt of Majesties. But their crime was uncovered after Pancho Alvarado kicked a silver goblet down the piles of gold in the trove and guards hotly pursued. Through the temple they were chased and on to the ramparts. Pausing to gloat, the (Late) Knight of Parrots had not realised he had strayed into the bowl of a hidden catapult. A well-timed arrow from the Fahrulian guards released the arm and the (Late) Knight of Parrots was flung high. | „ |

| “ | Tomorrow I shall present my apprentice with my finest silver katana in recognition for his 10 years of faithful service. He's no swordsman yet, but he will be in no time with this fine weapon. | „ |

| “ | Hello adventurer of the great frontier. If this letter is being read then I have long passed. To whoever read this know of the great darkness that threatens us all, for the hardship you endure will be rewarded with much darker days than you could imagine. I too was once a great warrior as you are. I had been blessed by the gods with great power to stand against the darkness. No foe could stand against my will. But pride could not have been farther from a worthy trophy for my feats. With pride comes corruption, corruption that burns deep into your soul. I did not see what I had become. This great power had rotted at my soul and poisoned my mind. I could feel the darkness in me. The same dakness I had seeked to destroy. To stop this darkness I left to die alone where no one would go, for no worse could come from false hopes of my people, crushed by the betrayal of my light. They must never know me as a betrayer but as prosperity. In my last day i found this apple tree. Like the apple tree my end is inevitable in the winters fall. Pride corrupts. Darkness always seeks to corrupt the lightest. You either stand against it together or die alone. | „ |

| “ | I can't beleive it! I finally stole the Ledgendary Assassin's Sword, and she's none the wiser. In fact, by the time she notices it missing i'll be... | „ |

| “ | Amidst a plethora of useless charts and spreadsheets, the following is written in barely legible scribbles: Day 17 - I have found the perfect Ogre Family! All I need to do now is get close to them. I'll approach them in the morning, with the present I've prepared to show them I mean no harm. Then I can show the world how tragically misunderstood and gentle they really are. This is so exciting! | „ |

| “ | We left seeking answers. Still a week since, there is little we know. Tomorrow we head west through the forest to Doyle's. He may know of something. The night grows cold... I hate cold. I think I hear something in the distance... Perhaps, hopefully, mere wild beasts. They say beastmen and skellies lie within the forest. May our travels be safe and swift. And may we find our answers soon. | „ |

| “ | Another day full of laughter as I sit here and watch these foolish adventurers head off to their timely demise. I nearly died laughing when one of them passed by wearing an iron foil hat. I wonder what fools tomorrow will bring! | „ |

| “ | Day 83 Can't keep this up, they're relentless. Last town, I found the bounty hunter. No closer to finding the truth. Next time they catch up, I'm going to finish it. Mi amor, por favor ... forgive me. | „ |

| “ | With this wondrous helmet and axe, I used to feel almost invincible. However, these days, battles and adventures are beginning to feel tired and tedious...I've just located a small plot of very potent herbs and am about to sit and partake in these interestingly multi-colored happy-plants...I just had a very interesting conversation with a bearded rainbow-colored tap-dancing dragon wearing platform shoes and capri pants who asked why I'm only flying on one wing, so I decided to pick more herbs... | „ |

| “ | I had the crowd hanging on my every note! They were cheering and laughing at my folk songs, weeping at my ballads, dancing to my gavottes. I knew I'd be getting dinner this night, and a warm pallet to sleep on...perhaps with the company of that strapping young lad..? How was I to know they thought yodeling was the sign of the devil? And where were they hiding all those pitchforks, anyhow.... | „ |

| “ | I really should have packed more rations... The next town is still quite a distance away, the twinkling lights seem no closer to me than they were three days ago. I wonder how safe it is to eat some of these mushrooms on my trail? I'm quite certain it's not one of my brightest idea thus far, but alas, my stomach grows fairly desperate... | „ |

| “ | It's been several days since I arrived in town and not even a nod of acknowledgement from that cute town guard. But not for long. He won't be able to look away when I perform the forbidden Dance of the Dead. The Queen and her hopeless quest can wait for I must practice this dance until it is perfect. | „ |

| “ | Day 11 - Everything has gone great leading up to the Cliffs. I have plenty of rations left and the ores I have found so far are the purest I have ever seen. I have a slight concern over the extremely poisonous variety of snake here, and wish I had remembered the healing herbs, however I have seen nothing to indicate they are active at this time. Things sure are looking up for Christop today! | „ |
