Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond?

Darough, taking his bow from his back, notches an arrow. " I give you now, a chance to run" he calls out. The armed warriors look around, searching for the source of the defiance, but they see nothing, Darough is hiding in the under-brush, using techniques he uses while hunting. The warriors are nervous, glancing around suspiciously. Darough lets a single arrow fly. It soars through the air, and with a crack and thud, the first warrior falls, the arrow stuck deep in his armor. The second warrior's nerves fail him and he runs shouting foul oaths at the unseen assailant. After he has passed over the hill, Darough climbs up and approaches the Halfling, who had been cowering on the ground the whole time. "Do not be afraid, my friend" Darough says in a clear, calm voice. He puts on his best smile. " I am not here to hurt you".

The Halfling stands, " What be your name, fair Elf?" he says quietly. " I am Darough, what be your's?" replies Darough. " Dadering, sir" replies the Halfling. "Well Dadering, I suggest you get off these roads, no doubt that pathetic scum shall return with some extra men" says Darough. " Yes sir, I shall be going, I hope we meet again" says Dadering and wanders off into the forest. Darough smiles and wanders back on his hunting path.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?

Darough turns to the man," Hello sir, may I inquire upon your wares?" He asks.

"I would be offended if yah didn't" cries the man." I sell everything from armor and weapons to food and herbs" He continues. "|Food?", asks Darough," I am a hunter and we be happy to do business with you some day"." What are the chances of that!" the man cries," The man I buy my food off has just moved to Arethor!". The man is smiling now, a huge happy smile. Darough lets a smile, maybe a little smaller, pass his lips."We should meet here tomorrow, for a chance to discuss prices" says Darough."That would be a great, see you here 'bout two o'clock tomorrow" says the man. Darough says goodbye and continues on his way.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

"Hello", replies Darough," My bow broke a long way back through the forest and I am starving, as I cannot capture and kill any game without it, pray tell, would you trade some food and a bow for the few Minas I have?". The Trader looks you up and down, seeing you may actually have some Minas, by judging the quality of clothing, he replies " Of course my friend, follow me to my tent where you shall see my stock". Darough follows the man along the gap between tent until they hit a large purple patchwork tent. The man holds up the flap and gestures for him to enter. Darough is at once hit by the smell of salted pork. He breathes in the smell deeply, he can hear his stomach groan. "May I see your bows?" he asks politely. "Of course", cries the man and reaches deep into a bag. He comes out holding a beautiful rowan bow. Darough gasps, it is one on the finest bows he has ever see. "Alas, I could never afford this beautiful weapon" He says sadly. " I think not, my friend, for you may have it for a low price of twenty Minas. Darough gasps again,"You must be mad" he cries,"This magnificent thing must be worth thousands". "I am not mad, this bow was made by my very own wife, who is skilled in the art, she can make these in her sleep!", replies the Trader, "Come outside and try it on our targets".

Darough follows the generous Trader out of the tent and over to where a few targets are mounted. He notches an arrow and lest it fly. It hits a perfect bull's eye. He shoots again and again, until the quiver the trader had provided was empty. "This is wonderful!" cries Darough, "It is a done deal!". The Trader smiles and agrees about the sale. They proceed to the purple patchwork tent again and the Trader hands Darough the food, bow and a quiver full of arrows. As Darough hands over the Minas, the Trader says " Remember, oil the string every day and to store it properly, you don't want to break it". Darough promises that he will and sets off from the camp with a big smile on his face, very different from his usual solemn demeanor.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:

Darough walks up to the guard captain and says "I am ready to help you remove the bandits". The guard looks Darough up and down, deciding he is worth bringing and welcomes him aboard. they depart the town at nightfall and walk along the road. Darough reads his bow and notches an arrow. Suddenly, out of the gloom, a man runs up to the group swinging an ax. Darough releases an arrow and the man drops before the group. Darough had acted so quickly, everyone turns to look at him. At this point of confusion, the rest of the seven bandits attack, killing two guards before Darough and the others cut them down.

The Captain turns to Darough," We could use someone of your skill, will you join the guard?". "I cannot, I am sad to say, my path in life is to provide food for the hungry and help all those I can" replies Darough. The captains face falls."I too am said to hear that. but if this is how you feel, you must do it". and with that, Darough says his goodbyes and departs the company of the guards.
