Open-Response-Questions

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.

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? Acis is a credulous man, who has been brought up well. He therefore knows that it is wrong to pick on a defenseless. Acis would sneak behind and took the bow and aimed for the warriors.

-Leave him alone, otherwise me and my army will kill you! Acis shouted. The warriors got scared and surprised, and fled to the forest. Acis was relieved that his little trick had worked and walked up to the halfling.

-You’re safe now! They’re gone and they won’t pick on you again.

-Thank you, I owe my life to you.

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 got for me today?

-I got leather armor, some swords, and food. Something that attracts you?

-Well, the wooden-sword looks nice. How much

-50 minas for the sword, and for the set of armor, 75 minas, wanna have a look?

clever as Acis, he says, -I’m not sure, the guy over there can sell me a sword for 40 minas. I think I go ther....

-Wait, 35 minas, my last call!

-Deal! with a slight grin on his face as Acis walks away happy.

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?: Acis is a good man and would never steal, but because hut looks to be abandoned he wont hesitate.

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? "Please, im in need of food, I can give you something in exchange!" Acis cries. The people seem to be nice, and they give him a few apples and some water. "Thank you so much, here this is the least I can do." Acis says gives the people the iron ingots he found in the abandoned hut.

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?: Acis is a brave man and does not hesitate when it comes to combat. It’s when he gets to shoot with his bow as he does best!

-I'm up!

-Good, let’s go.

Anything else you would like to say?: Yes, I really hope that I can play on this server, that's all.
