I have brown hair My parents are both Halflings, but I think my father’s ancestry has some Dwarven blood mixed in it, since I have inherited a love of mining. Both were traveling the world when they met, and when they married they settled down in the Vale having just got off the boats that brought them from Agis, this is where they begat me, I lived there my whole life. It was a pleasant childhood I swam in the creek fished, farmed, drank ale, and to the surprise of my family I dug caves and was very precocious. But when my thirty-third birthday came around I decided it was time to explore the world because I am very adventurous. My family was very confused cause as you know Halflings are the sort of folk that stay home farm and drink ale.

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? My character would respond courageously, but also prudently. He would first ask the guards what their business with the Halfling is about and try to bring about a peaceful solution. If not he would try to distract them by hitting on of the warriors with his walking stick and give the small Halfling a chance to get away while losing the warriors because of his expert running skills. 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? First, I respond “Good Day” then ask him what he is selling if he is selling certain wares such as wool or spider eye I kindly decline, bidding him good day and leaving on my way. But if he has need supplies such as food, or coal I ask him his price and depending on that price either buy from him or decline to go find a better price. 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?: My character would respond by posting a sign by the hut asking if it is inhabited, waiting for a few days for a response, and acting according to the response, if given. If no response is given, he will not remove anything from the hut. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond? I greet them asking them what race or city that they come from and have a polite conversation with them. I then ask kindly if I can either trade or buy food from them. Once I have gotten some food I ask where I was if they perchance knew and ask for directions to the nearest main road and or the direction I could head for to get Arethor. 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?: My character would not join the guard to help in the fighting but he would give his services to the mayor in the realm of cooking for the guards. He would give his services because a Halfling he believes in the enjoyment of life through freedom, liberty, and happiness. When the battle is over he would happily gather his reward and be on his way to Arethor singing his favorite song loudly.
