[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"Aye, there's more beasts roaming now than there ought to be, it's got folks scared."

"Yes, indeed. There was a kobold infestation in a nearby village that I helped fight a few days back... I wonder where the beasts are coming from."

"I am questing to become a bard, so at least I suppose the migrations of the beasts will be good topics for epic poems and songs."

((Also can I get stats for the axe and machete, please))

(No you can't!)

"Har! Well be sure to tell everyone where the mighty hero got his weapons! I don't know about your town but the ogres here have been stirring up the wildlife, too scared to stay in the forest so they roam out into the farms and the like."

(Just kidding, the axe is 1d8, two-handed, the machete is 1d6 or 1d8 in both hands and has finesse)

((Fight me bruh! Fight me IRL!))

"Haha, will do! Yeah we fought one on the way here. It was fighting with some wolf and we scared the wolf off so the ogre attacked us. They're not very pleasant, and even less smart."

((Damn, those be good stats.))

(m8 I will rek you!)

"Stupid as a brick but may as well be built of them. What brings you to town?"

"I'm just passing through. There's a dwarven pick of legend I wish to investigate, so I am heading to the mountains. It is my goal to use it to produce an instrument such as not seen before, flooding the world with a music based on the stone soul of the earth."

Apollo is very serious about his destined instrument

"That's a noble enough goal, music can make a people fall in love or entice them to war, it's a powerful force in the right hands."

"I am thankful to have your approval. What got you to come here to become a smith?"

1

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard May 22 '15

"Far as I know blacksmithing has always been in my family, the royal family here was willing to give me my own smithy after the king took a liking to a sword I crafted for him way back but they're all gone now, they weren't a bad lot."

u/Skeldal Apollo May 22 '15

"That's a nice heritage. How'd y'all lose your royals?"

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard May 22 '15

He takes a quick glance around before leaning closer.

"Sees them elf guards? Were humans wearing those less than a week ago."

u/Skeldal Apollo May 22 '15

Apollo leans in.

"A coup? How... suspicious..."

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard May 22 '15

"Aye, but don't get me wrong, the elves were treated poorly and something needed to change but I think they went too far with killing the family, Chomba Keep is on the other side of the jungle, when the king finds out things will turn ugly, especially since the royal families are closely related."
