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?
Leoneus runs to the men and tells them to stop firmly. Immediately after, one of them turn towards you, and both of them draw their iron swords. Instinctively, Leoneus draws his stone axe which is more of a blunt weapon by now. After realizing how powerless he is, he wispers to the halfling, “Go get help”. Shortly after the halfing leaves, the two warriors chuckle to eachother and start to swing their weapons. Barely blocking and avoiding the warrior’s blows, he stalls them with barely enough time for help to arrive. Two guards of Renatus appear and Leoneus flees.
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?
Leoneus’s stomach rumbles. He knows he had not eaten in over 8 hours, but he wanted to conserve his coin for a new axe. Knowing what means more to him, he says “Nothing thank you, just walking by.” He wanders along the rode looking for a blacksmith. Finding a blacksmith, he walks in and passes out. He wakes up some time later with a fairly large loaf of bread to his right, and some ale to his left. He is in a bed, and is fairly comfortable other than a pain on his skull. The blacksmith and his wife come out from around the door and the blacksmith says “Well, you took quite a tumble. Rest up and you should be fine to leave by tomorrow.” “Thank you.” Leonidus says. Leonidus checks his bag and instead of seeing his stone axe, worn to the nub, he sees a freshly sharpened iron axe.
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?:
Leoneus grabs the items out of the chest and walks towards the nearest city. Once there, Leoneus finds a guard and says “Here. You could use these better than I could.” “Where did you find these?” The guard says. “Some abandoned house in the wilderness. There were cobwebs all over the place and I’m sure nobody was still living there.” The guard thanks Leoneus and walks back to his barracks, where he gives the items to the guard captain.
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?
“Greetings, friends. What is this place?” The elves respond with “This is the trading camp of Runada, Is there anything you would like to buy?” Leoneus checks his bag for coin, and finds the coin that he would have spent on the iron sword or food. He buys an amount of wood and some stone. He thanks the elves and walks back to his home. He then sits down in a chair near his crafting table and experiments with new designs.
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?:
Leoneus nods at the guard and walks to his home. He swiftly opens his box and pulls his fresh iron axe from the bottom. Arriving at the culmination region of the guard, they hand him a chainmail chest guard and he walks into battle. Leoneus although attempting, does not slay a bandit, however the guards do eradicate them. The guards allow him to keep the chainmail as his reward “Cheap bastards” he thinks.
