Markas human fighter LvL 3 (pending)
Markas steps into the Dunn Wright Inn after what seems like the longest few days in his life. He's not sure why the strange message from his friend Firron said he should brush up on his riding, but when Firron said it was best to do something, then it was best to do it. And I owe him...
OOC: Flasback/Know Local for the rumors surrounding Markas
[sblock=Know Local DC 5]
Rumor - Markas Shieldheart was once a guard for the City of Glass. The name was widely unknown till the day a purple worm crashed it's way into the city.
Flashback - It was such a nice day and Markas's shift was due to be over soon. Just one last walk near the east wall. "God's if that thing had only waited a few more minutes to come crashing through things would have never changed."

Rumor - Markas is rumored to single handedly to have killed the purple worm and saved the lives of dozens of people. He was a hero but then disappeared soon afterwards. Some say he went into even further training and is now even better a warrior now than the day he defeated the purple worm.
Flashback - The creature was huge and it was only partly in the road right before Markas. Grabbing his sword he stood wondering where he should strike. Than from behind him two arrows "thunked" into the beast, followed by a bolt of magical energy. "Turning there they were true heroes all. Firron, Sella, and Graxs. They didn't hesitant and took the fight right to the darn thing. What was it Firron said? "We got this guardsman see to the people in that building there." Dismissed just like that and I was suppose to be the one defending the city."

Rumor - Witness, Markas was trying to get away from the creature, saw him get swallowed by the purple worm. They say that moments later he had cut his way free and the beast fell over dead from having it's gut cut open like that. There was no on else even around.
Flashback - Standing in the door way Markas shouts for everyone to exit the home by the back door or window however they can get out. Then he he turns to see what is going on. Graxs and Sella have gone to the far side of the worm and can't be seen. Firron was on one knee badly hurt and Markas rushes to him. Before he knows it the purple worm's head slams down on top of both of them and the next thing he knows it is slightly dark, wet, and smells awful. "And I panicked. Lucky for me Firron was in that things gullet with me or I would never had gotten out."

Rumor - Covered in gore he was still searching for people to help. He looked all about the dead worms body not even ready to celebrate and whenever he was congratulated about his victory he was modest saying that it wasn't him at all.
Flashback - Firron and Markas cut and slice at the inside of the great worm even as the acids of it's stomach burn at them. Finally there is daylight and Markas cuts even more vigorously. Stepping out and then pulling Firron out behind him Markas watches as the great beast falls. "But once the dust had settled the others were no where to be found. Later when I caught up to Firron he said that he and the others wanted no credit for killing the worm, they weren't much for fame. Well neither am I! And now I have no choice in the matter."[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]
Smelling like a stable and tired Markas makes his way to the upper rooms for a much needed bath.
