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?
Hiding and waiting for the warriors to leave, because he would never just run into any fight if he can avoid it.
After they've gone Ziph would go and help the halfling, because it might always be good to have some backup connection if needed.
Ziph and the halfling won't become best friends but the halfling will remember Ziph forever and thats where Ziph can take his advantage from.
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?
Ziph would responde in a similar accent, that he appropriated during his servant years at the nobleman's, and ask the merchant to show his goods and may do some trading if there could be an advantage.
If there wasn't any chance of making profit Ziph would just ignore the merchant.
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?:
Ziph would observe the surroundings and if there wasn't anybody to see he'd go and grab the stuff.
Not because he would need the iron for crafting or the sword for fighting, but because he knows that they're good goods to trade with.
Else if there was someone around Ziph would greet him/her/them and try to figure out whether this someone also was a traveller.
If the someone was a traveller too, then Ziph would declare the found things to be his.
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?
Ziph would greet back, walk towards them and ask for their kind help in offer for some work he'll do for them instead and if they wouldn't help him for his offered work than he still would have something to trade with them in perspective of their help.
In his openness Ziph won't expect any danger.
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?:
Ziph wouldn't follow them but try to sell any supply to them he could get hold of, because as already mentioned Ziph isn't a big fighter - he's a merchant.
Also, if this upcoming fight would lead into a war wouldn't be someone who fights, but the person who offers his service to deliver the front fighting soldiers with supply and goods they could need - and afford.
Anything else you would like to say?:
Dear mum, dear dad;
You'll be proud of your son.
