[QUOTE="RMcCall, post: 6280164, member: 6774892"] There is a saying that all adventures ultimately start in a tavern. Even if the heroes have been other places, or even if they forget about that particular encounter, the real catalyst for every journey happens in a tavern. There's a certain truth behind the myth, of course, as a large quantity of drink and gossip seem to create some sort of magical zone that begets adventures, but like every good rule this one has exceptions. In this case, for instance, the adventure began on top of a tavern. The view of the city of Prensych was best from the roof of the Cactus Bowl Tavern. From there, you could see all the way to the barren desert to the north, and far into the mountainous Tywodlyd Forest. The adventurers, however, seemed to be more interested in the cloudy sky. The largest of the group, one with the face of a dragon but the body of a man (save for the scales totally covering his body, and the claws tipping his fingers and toes), held a piece of paper, the only treasure they had managed to procure from their last venture. As such, the mood on the roof was somewhat grumpy, perhaps even snarky, but a vague hope lingered among the group, for on that piece of paper was written the following thirty-five words: [INDENT][FONT=palatino linotype] On the roof of the Cactus Bowl, on the 5th of Seeding, when the moon is at its highest peak, watch the sky for the key to the greatest unclaimed treasure known to the world.[/FONT][/INDENT] The dragonborn grunted. [COLOR=#ff8c00]"I can't even see the moon through these dense clouds. Do we really think some treasure map is just going to fall from the sky?"[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
