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?

Gungron would leave him fearing of getting into a fight and would find the nearest guards and say, " Guards! two warriors near the cloud temple are robbing an innocent Halfling, Can you please go and assist him. The guard would respond "Aye dwarf can you accompany us and help"? Gungron would respond and hurry with them " Aye of course let us hurry before it is too late".

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?

"Ello, what do you have for sale this fine day merchant?" The trader would show him his inventory but he would have no ores that that Gungron needed. "I'm sorry, but you do not have what I need, if you could get diamonds in stock I would surely buy some for 800 minas or less" He would walk away and look for another booth with what he is looking for.

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?:

Gungron would think to himself " I am no thief," but I will take it for now and post a sign to find him in the nearest city. If the person contacted him he would want him to prove he was the owner by showing him where the hut was found.

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 traders, I am starving from traveling through the wilderness looking for the capital of me brethren, can you spare any food "Gungron would say to the traders. I have minas, but could I work it off?" The traders would agree and tell Gungron the closest route to a city.

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?:

"Ah ello there, ye we should try and see if we can make a friendly solution before fighting aye?" Gungron would say to the guards. If we cannot reach a deal, then we should fight for the glory of saving the town aye?"

Please wait patiently for a GM to promote you in Game.

Okay, so I enjoyed, and I mean deeply enjoyed reading your Application and you had amazing improvement since your last one. I'd also like to thank you for actually waiting the 24 hours Grim asked of you.

You completely rocked the Open Response questions from your last Application and for this I congratulate you. The only thing I found wrong with your Application was your definition of Powergaming, it was rather weird but I do feel as if you understand it's concept and if you don't please message me.

One other thing I'd like to say, Haha, 20-40 Hours? We encourage for you to play on our server a lot but remember don't kill yourself! :D

[Review Notes]

It's interesting, you've got three old applications in the Archive, but I wont be counting any of those against you so you only have two counted Applications against you at the time! :D
