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? Nick comes near stealthily to the warriors, stunning the first one hitting his head and grabbing him, threatening him with a knife. So, he exclaims "Liberate the hobbit, or your friends will be killed, warrior!" and the warrior counters: "I don't thinks so, human! Liberate my friend or I will kill you and this hobbit!". Nick, trying to calm himself, says: "It's your last chance, warrior, liberate him!". Then the man, using a sword, kill the hobbit without pity, after slaughtering the hostage, Nick jumps on the last man alive, sating him to the heart; and then Nick rises again, noticing a little natural cave. He pick the hobbit's cadaver and he puts it inside the cave. Now the hobbit seems having an happy face.
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? Nick observe carefully the things in the bookstall of the merchant and immediately notice that the objects were stolen or picked with illegal methods, but he initially doesn't say anything.
However, at the umpteenth attempt of the merchant to sell something to a woman saying "Miss, is there anything that would you like? We have the best armors barely smithed and the most precious necklaces at the price of few minas!", Nick intervenes saying "Merchant, do you have a diamond armor in good conditions? I have only this iron armor, and I wannabe more protected".
The merchant were really impressed of the armor's quality, but he reply to Nick telling him "Of course, my goods are just smithed and my diamonds barely mined, you will never find better merchandise in all Asulon!".
Nick ends then the conversation patronizing, replying to the merchant saying: "it's evident that these armors aren't new! Probably you stolen these to some dwarf coming back from some diamonds repository! And now run or I will call the guards first you can escape!"
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?: While he's roaming in the Wild, Nick see an humpy. It's abandoned and probably very old: the walls are broke and there isn't a roof anymore. Nick comes near to the door, for checking that it isn't a trap or something similar, and he suddenly exclaim: "But there's nothing here! But… oh, wait! There's a chest! But it's closed… let's see if there's something inside. I can open it… Uh, there's a golden sword and some bars of iron. I pick the sword, first it can be take from someone bad. I will use it to fight the enemies, while these gold bars…what can I do with them? The humpy is abandoned, so nobody will come back to take them, I guess. Well, I'm gonna pick and sell them, I'll gain some minas".
Nick close then the chest e comes close to the door, intentioned to exit. He bewares around another time, but he doesn't see anything except some cobwebs.
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? Nick, traveling in the Asulon lands finds a little camp. Some people greets him, including a little child that comes close to Nick, ask him if he was a real warrior: "I wannabe a real warrior 'cause I wanna protect my family!".
Nick makes a gesture with the head, like he wanna greet.
"I could define me like that, but I'm not a real warrior, besides my dream in my childhood was the same of yours, to become a warrior".
"So what are you exactly?"
"We can say that i didn't find yet an opportunity to become a warrior, someone who will give me a similar task"
"And how can i become a warrior?"
"You must demonstrate your abilities with weapons, swords or bows, travel in the whole Asulon Kingdom… Asulon is large, there are a lot of places where you can be the guard, or find someone who will give you an assignment to do"
The conversation gets drop because of a scream coming from the boy's mother mouth: "Edoin! Come back to home! I told you to not speak to the foreigners!"
The child take adieu to Nick, running back to home, promising to his mother that one day he will take her to the Holy Oren Empire.

"Ok, got it. I'm gonna explain how we're gonna make the ambuscade: me and another group are gonna attract the bandits to the entrance for the city and when we will succeed the walls' guards are gonna to shoot arrows to the bandits. Then, you'll be the leader of a legion, and you and your group are gonna go out from the street and you'll finish the bandits. Got it? Young man, that's your opportunity, let me your bravery and I'll make you join my army. The general Henry will attend you to the preparations' room, see you soon in the battlefield."
"Thank you very much sir, I'll not disappoint you"
