Fives

"I am!"

Trotter headed over to the message board and took a look at the quests available. "Hmmm.... Quest number three looks interesting. I think I'll sign up for that one!"

I'm wondering, how do I sign up for a quest?

"Hmmmm.... Interesting folk they are. What is that there he gave you?"

That looks amazing! Finaly, Anakin is kinda turning bad again.

"That sounds interesting. But may I ask, if there are fake Crusaders, then what are true Crusaders?"

The marketplace is very nice! I have a question. My character is a ranger, but could he use, say, a longsword? Also, I have an idea to add to the game. Jousting Tournaments. Knights would be the only ones able to enter, and they would have to pay an entry fee. Then, other characters can bet on who will win or lose. The winning knights will be given prize money or items, and the loser loses his entry fee.

"Oh! I guess I hadn't noticed you leave earlier. All this talking is great to listen to. Find anything interesting on your travels?"

Without being noticed, Trotter had been sitting drinking the entire time this game was being played. He sat, happily overhearing all sorts of banter. He then noticed Mr. Docken leave the Hall, and so quickly chugged back his last bit of ale and followed him out the door. "Going for a walk. Mind if I join?"

Nice to meet you, Mr. Docken. I'm Trotter, fellow Ranger, but not from a forest. What is a fake-Crusader-spotter?"

"This place is getting filled up with shady people. I don't like it."

Trotter entered the Hall quietly. He had wanted to build a house, but decided it be best to continue staying at the inn and go on quests first. As he walked up the stairs and he heard people talking about a new marketplace under construction. He was glad to hear that there would be somewhere to buy things. He then went and got something to eat. As he was eating some chicken and grapes, he saw an unfamiliar face talking to the Ranger called Bartholomew. He decided to join in on the conversation. "Hello. Who are you?"

Seeing as there wasn't much to do around the Hall, Trotter went out for a walk. He headed to the shores of the island. The sweet smell of the sea filled his nostrils. He looked around, and saw merchants and traders busying themselves with their daily work. He continued walking along the beach until he found a quiet place to sit. "Hmmm..." he thought to himself. "Yes. Yes, this spot is perfect." And with that he started to build a house.

Good to know. I guess what we need is a map of the Free Islands.

That map from the board game is very useful. Where would Heroica hall be in comparison to everything?

"Hello there, Cleric. What is your name? I'm Trotter."

Trotter woke up to the sun brightly shining through his room window. After a big yawn, Trotter got out of is bed and, after quickly getting dressed, headed downstairs to break his fast. When he got downstairs, he asked for some warm oatmeal. He was handed a plate of cold bread and cheese, leftover from the night before. He sat and ate in silence. As he was eating, he noticed the dwarf from the night before standing across the room, talking loudly. "Hello, master dwarf." Trotter said. "Sorry that I left before I was able to properly meet you, but when the drinks are free..." He took a bite out of the chunk of cold hard bread he was holding. "So, what is your name?"

"I'm not evil! I just like to have a good time! Anyway, its been a long day, so I'll be off to bed." Trotter hops off his stool a heads to the bedrooms of the Heroica inn.

"Oh... Well, drinks for everyone, but they aren't on me! HAHAHAHA!"

"I thought you hadn't noticed!" Trotter then got up and made his way to the middle of the room. "Drinks for everyone, on me!" The barkeep asked "What the hell are you doing that for?" Trotter looked at him inquisitively and then yelled "To make FRIENDS!"

"Yup, I'd think so to. Maybe that is all an act to hide the fact that the Barbarians are all joining to make one big army! Or not."

I think befroe any quest can be started, we need a list of the locations in Eubric, both the ones already made for the board game, and some more made up for this game. Then, quests could take place all over Eubric, and there could be a limit to the amount of quests taking place at one time in one place. So say one band of heros is looking for some lost treasure in the Dark Forest or whatever, there could be another band of heroes in the same place but trying to complete a different quest, and either the two bands could meet up, or not.

Waking up from his long nap in his chair, Trotter saw the dwarf in the room. "Finally, I'm not the only short guy here! Whats your name?"

" I'm here to help in any way I can" Trotter said to his new ally, "but first, I need a drink!"

Halfling it is!
