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? Although believing in survival of the fittest. fionn has quite a strong sense of morality and although trying at first to not get involved. Can't bear to see the poor halfing robbed. He checks his weapon and heads over to the trio. "Step away from the halfing and you may live to see tomorrow" "Oh look, we have a hero among us" laugh the two warriors. "Last chance, step away" replies fionn. "I've always wanted to gut me one of those Northern men" said one of the warriors as they both begin to draw steel. In the blink of an eye fionn vanished into the wilderness. The two soldiers scan every direction, one of them hears a branch crackle and turns around only to be met with fionn's sword across the neck. Completely disembodying the head, it rolls over to the other warriors feet. In sheer terror the warrior drops his sword and runs. Fionn picks up the warrior's sword and examines it. "might be able to buy us a few pints of ale at the tavern" smiles fionn to the halfing. Who laughs in return as the pair stroll of into the darkness.

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? "hello" replies Fionn "I would like to do some trading". "Yes very good, what are you looking to trade?" inquires the merchant. "I'm looking for wheat seeds, i can trade you leather, stone, wood or iron" replies fionn. "I already have enough of those and i don't have much seeds left" sulks the merchant. "please, i am in dire of seeds" exclaims fionn. "No, i already have enough and if your done please leave as i have a cave to excavate soon" replies the merchant. "A cave?" said fionn "Those can be very dangerous". "What do you mean?" replies the merchant in a shakey voice. "Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Giant Spiders" "yes, very dangerous indeed, if only you had someone to protect you" "but i'm sure you will be grand" laughs fionn as he begins to walk away. "No wait!" shouts the merchant. "If you accompany me on my excavation, i'll give you a stack of seeds, how does that sound?" said the merchant "That sounds great" replies fionn smiling.

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?: He would scan the hut carefully to see if there is any sign of someone living here. If it truly is abandoned he would take the items. Although, if a man was to walk into the tavern and fionn overhears how his golden sword and iron bars were stolen... Fionn would own up and return the items.

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 Fionn. "I hate to beg, but i am lost and starving, could i trouble you for a bit of food and possibly directions? i have nothing of value now but i swear to pay you for you troubles the next time i travel this way"

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?: Fionn leaps at the chance to slit some bandits throat and get paid for it too. He dons his armour, gathers some food, sharpens his sword and ventures off with the town guard and several other volunteers in search of them. Approaching the bandit site, the group move silently. Blades eager to taste blood, stalking their preys everymove. The bandits have a strong force, alot of men and good equipment. Fionn knows if his group go toe to toe with them, there would be a massacre. He proposes an ambush tactic he learnt whilst hunting, although reluctant to trust this stranger at first. The Party leader finally gives in. Fionn sends them to a nearby forest, and organises them into a circle leaving a gap for the entrance. He inspects it and makes sure it's perfect. Fionn, who is acting as the bait for the ambush walks out of the forest and up to outskirts of the bandit camp. "Over here!, hey!, Come and fight me!" roars Fionn. The bandits, although stunned at first. Gathered their weapons and began pursuing fionn, Fionn begans to run, but not too fast so the bandits will see where he enter. The forest, he runs through the gap and into a small clearing. the force of bandits soon come slashing through. The bandit force of maybe 20 even 40 is squashed together and unable to maneuver. The leader pushing himself to the front. "Hand over anything of value and we will let you live". Fionn just looks at him, he then bends down to reveal one of the town guards behind him aiming a bow. As quick as the Bandit leader spots this, he is met with an arrow to the throat, Suddenly wild screams, vulgar shouts, arrows and swords come raining down on the bandits. The Towns guard and volunteers smash into the bandits from all sides. The bandits, squashed together and unable maneuver. Can't fight effectively and are cut down, one by the one the force of 20-40 soons vanishes and only a handful remain, who soon give route and retreat out of the gap. Only to be met by an attachment of volunteers. Fionn had placed them there to close of the gap and completely encircle the bandits. As the last of them are cut down, the towns guard cheer in joy "VICTORY!" the party leader comes over the fionn and hugs him "You genious!, you absolute genious" he exclaims. Fionn smiles back "You fought well today". "Come, let us head back to town. To brag of our spoils in the tavern and to you fionn, a hefty reward" said the Party leader. And the party descend out of the forest and back to town, singing stoutly all the way.

This... This is a pretty good app... Though I have to say denied.

-There is more to powergaming than you stated.

-Seeing how much effort you put into your ORQs, I think you could add more to your biography.

-Maybe add a bit more to the two shorter ORQs.
