[QUOTE="Graywolf-ELM, post: 1377320, member: 16236"] [b]Coming of Age Ceremony[/b] [Color=Blue][b]Adventure Synopsis and Campaign Start[/b][/Color] Beginning at Dusk the Vile Runes tribe is gathering quickly by the outside firepit, for Garnash One-Tusk has called for the yearly coming-of-age test to be given to the next batch of younglings in the tribe. There is an excitement in the air, as there is much discussion and argument over the fitness of the new batch of younglings to be full tribal members. Discussion and arguments about the current batch of younglings are centered on the possibility that they would make excellent tribe members, if they can just survive the trial.
