Fantasy Ruins of Runeguard (closed)

[Zonarch]

The world is a wonderful place, full of adventure to lead anyone to fame or fortune. Though as wondrous as the world is, its is far more dangerous. Monsters prowl the lands, seas, and ruins where adventurers tread. Bandits and cutthroats walk the roads, seeking their next target. Even the most righteous of souls, can be tainted or twisted.

This is a land of time, where eons have passed. Warriors, heroes, and kingdoms have rose, and crumbled to dust. Wars have been fought for many reasons, and magic has always been a primal force of movement in the world.

And magic is what cause many of the wicked things in the world. Yet magic also created amazing items, that throughout the passing of time, has been lost to many fates.

Recently one such artifact has been discovered, and the King of Sigilfall has sent out a request for heroes and adventurers alike. You are tasked with the retrieval of this artifact, and return it. A seemingly simple task.

How you came across this request, and reasoning behind joining it are your own. But once you set out, there is no turning back. You will face many dangers, and many trials.

Daj wandered into the city of Sigilfall as the sun sank down. He'd been walking for sometime now and was aching, tired and thirsty.

He was here to answer the kings summon, however, it was now dark and the king would displeased with being woken.

Looking around, he quickly spotted a chipped stone tavern. The wooden sign hanging in front swayed slightly. 'Inn and Tavern' was all it said.

Daj had very little gold left, but he couldn't just thirst to death, so he shrugged and walked towards the building.

 

[Faye Vegastra]

-Upon returning from a successful hunt in the Forrest, Faye barged through the doors ahead of him carrying a dead buck on her right shoulder. She heaved a large sigh of relief, finally making it back to the Tavern before nightfall. She quickly made her way up to the bar and laid the buck out on it, calling to the bar tender. With a smile on her face she exclaimed-

"Have no fear! Your fresh venison delivery is here!" -Faye laughed to herself- "That'll be 50."
"You call this fresh? Where did you find this smelly garbage?" -The bar tender sighed and slid a bag of gold toward her- "Whatever, take it, you made it back within the day so you earned it."

-Faye took the gold and nodded to him, ordering a tall glass of beer as she took a seat at the bar. As the buck was taken in the back and her beer brought out to her, she began taking a long, deep drink of the cold beer-

Daj walked into the tavern, just in time to watch a large buck being taken into the back. Scanning over the crowd, he found an empty seat at the bar that was beckoning him to sit.

Making his way through the crowd, Daj had to dodge several stumbling bystanders, whom he assumed had one too many.

Once at the bar, he looked into his coin bag, seeing only seven coins, and giving a heavy sigh, pulled two out.

"I'll take an ale." Daj sat the coins down, which were quickly replaced with a full mug filled with a golden ale.
